Nas's 'Hate Me Now' ft. Puff Daddy and Notorious B.I.G.: A Classic Diss Track Reborn?

The late 90s saw hip-hop at its peak, with artists like Nas, DMX, and Jay-Z spitting bars that left a lasting impact on the genre. Among these timeless classics is Nas's 'Hate Me Now' featuring Puff Daddy (now known as Diddy) and the legendary Notorious B.I.G., whose posthumous verse has become an anthem for many hip-hop fans.

Released in 1999, 'Hate Me Now' was part of Nas's third studio album bearing his stage name. The track is widely regarded as one of the most infamous diss tracks ever recorded due to its explicit lyrics directed at fellow MCs and industry figures alike. However, over two decades later, this song remains a staple in hip-hop culture, with many still finding solace in B.I.G.'s poignant verse.

In recent years, there has been an uptick in nostalgia for 90s and early 2000s hip-hop. With platforms like Apple Music and Spotify making classic albums easily accessible again, younger generations are discovering the likes of Nas, DMX, and Jay-Z through their seminal works.

Nas's 'Hate Me Now' is one such track that continues to divide opinions among fans. While some view it as a masterclass in diss rap with razor-sharp bars aimed at industry figures like Sean Combs (Puff Daddy), others see it as nothing more than juvenile trash talk masquerading as art.
