I stumbled across a post on Spinner which highlights songs disowned by the people who made them famous, including the Beastie Boys’ “Fight For Your Right.” I can’t think of too many hip-hop songs that were disowned by the artists who made them famous. See, rappers believe that their songs are all classics and nothing less. Sure, Method Man campaigned vigorously against “Say” as a single and Chamillionaire distanced himself from “Hip-Hop Police” for the same reason, but none of them outrightly dissed their own song. Can you think of any?
