Today’s Down in the DMs is a doozy.
Getty ImagesWelcome to DB's Down in the DM, our weekly feature, where you, humble listeners and readers, get to ask 107.7 The Bounce's advice guru your difficult questions, and today's question is from An Ex-Girlfriend who thought was on Good Terms with their Engaged Ex:
I found out last night that my ex (one of the good ones) is engaged and I was genuinely happy for him to find someone who seemed like a good match. So I messaged his fiancée to say congrats and she blocked me. Was it weird for me to say something?
Now I needed some more information and luckily the person with the question gave some more insight. Here is the message she sent to the fiancée
Congratulations, he is a good guy and I'm supper happy to see he found love, wish you two the best :)
Now she and her ex dated 6 years ago and she says that she would have messaged him but he doesn't have social media or anything and she didn't have his number. The relationship didn't end on bad blood according to her and she didn't want to go behind her back and message him. Which some would say the heart was in the right place or she had good intentions....but yes this is weird. You are basing it all on what would be ok with you when you absolutely don't know this person. In 6 years, personalities can change. And usually if someone doesn't have social or the person doesn't have the phone number there is a good reason. Either way you might need to look deep in yourself to figure out why you needed to message this person. I do think you might have had every intention of being nice about it but it was truly not the move. Say congrats to them to yourself and move on.

5 of the All-Time Best Diss Tracks
Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake has been the topic all across the internet! Kendrick's Diss track 'euphoria' is the #1 trending video on youtube with over 7 Million Views. To get you up to speed give it a listen. Warning the language is NSFW so headphones on in the office:
This beef is on fire! This all came after Kendrick, J. Cole & Drake were declared "The Big Three" of Hip Hop. Kendrick responded to this claim on the Future/Metro Boomin Track "I Like That". This lead to responses from both J. Cole & Drake. Cole has since deleted his diss track "7 Minute Drill" and has since apologized for taking part in this battle. Drake has had to delete his track "Taylor Made Freestyle" but is still actively in broiled in this and many other battles. So this war is far from over especially with Kendrick throwing this huge shot. Now I personally am not the biggest fan of of the diss tracks but when they are put together well then I can't help but listen to them. In my opinion, Euphoria didn't really hook me until the very last bit. The beat changes seemed all over the place but I can't deny that Kendrick isn't a true lyricist. So many iconic lines and if I were Drake I would be trying my hardest to come back with some fury.
Beefs and Diss tracks have been as old as hip hop itself. The East Coast/West Coast war will still go down as one of the most intense battles in history ending in tragedy. I really hope Kendrick and Drake air on the side of caution and it doesn't get to those levels. It should always be about the music which will be the focus of today's throwback playlist. Here are 5 Iconic Diss Tracks! Great Beats and Beef are on the menu today!
Ether - Nas
Hands down one of the greatest diss track ever. Beat is still used anytime someone is dropping bars. This was truly iconic and JAy tried but failed to win this war. He's a billionaire though so I guess he won..I guess.
No Vaseline -Ice Cube
Friend breakups can be the most hurtful type of relationship breakup. When N.W.A. came for Cube. He had to put down his own former group. This was BRUTAL.
Back To Back - Drake
I'm starting to think Drake has the world record for most beefs. He did win the battle against Meek Mill and this song did well on the charts and was Grammy Nominated. So we really can't count out Drake.
Hit 'Em Up - Tupac
Now this is widely considered the true Diss track champion. The video is iconic. The lyrics are lethal. It's unforgettable.
Killshot - Eminem
Many have tried to come for Slim Shady but Machine Gun Kelly was the boldest in my opinion because he was clearly in the wrong here. He made comments about Eminem's at the time underage daughter so Em responded with the song 'Not Alike' with Royce Da 5'9". Rap Devil was then released by Machine Gun Kelly and though entertaining, we knew the end was on the way, Eminem dropped this bomb and Machine Gun Kelly changed his name and went to rock. Leave Em alone unless.......
Obsessed - Mariah Carey
Few people have been able to hang with Slim Shady. And this diva did and well. Eminem kept alluding to a previous relationship with Mariah even playing alleged voice mails but Mariah dropped this banger that reached the Top 10 of the Billboard charts. Going 3 X Platinum. Never kiss and tell, Em.
