Metro Boomin Quotes Kendrick Lamar In Response To Hit-Boy’s Diss
Hitmaka stirred the pot this week when he called out Hit-Boy. Though the two are undoubtedly some of the most prolific producers in hip-hop with unmatched catalogs, Hitmaka threw the first shot during an interview on Hot 97. While speaking to Ebro and co., the “Thot Box” producer argued that he’s the better producer due to his consistency on the radio. “See, but I’m on the radio; Hit-Boy’s not on the radio,” said Hitmaka. “If you play the soundtrack to your life for the last four or five years on radio, I know it’s gotta be frustrating for him because my name is so similar, my brother.”
The comments undoubtedly transformed into something bigger than he expected. Hit-Boy struck back in the form of a diss track that Rory Farrell shared to his Twitter page. However, Hit-Boy didn’t just clap back at Hitmaka – he called out every other producer that stands alongside him, including Metro Boomin, Mustard, and Southside. “I don’t really know dude he seem like a cool cat/But I never once heard Metro Boomin do boom bap,” he raps before dissing Southside’s 808-heavy production. “I just seen Yung Berg spoke on the wave, I should do him like Trick Trick and snatch Hit out his name… how you got no credits without co-producers?”
Metro Boomin Reacts To Hit-Boy
Metro Boomin is usually lowkey but he doesn’t hesitate to respond if needed. The Savage Mode 2 hitmaker didn’t even really use his own words but rather, the bars of Kendrick Lamar. While Hitmaka compared Hit-Boy’s diss as a “Control” verse for producers, Boomin shared some lyrics from “Rich Spirit.” Metro shared the lyrics from Apple Music, which highlights, “Stop playin’ before I turn you into a song.” Though it’s unclear if Metro is willing to drop bars, he clearly isn’t afraid of the competition.
Prior to this, Hitmaka blasted Hit-Boy for trying to diss him on a record. Hitmaka’s argument is still based on radio plays, though he criticized Hit for using “punchlines from over a decade ago” in reference to the Trick Trick reference. “Is this like your attempt to do whatever Kendrick did on that Big Sean record for producers?” he wrote. “U ARE A TERRIBLE ARTIST. SEND ME BEATS PLS.” At this point, Hit-Boy hasn’t responded to either Hitmaka or Metro Boomin but he did just drop off a new single alongside Musiq Soulchild. Check out Metro’s tweets above.

Hitmaka To Hit-Boy: “You Are A Terrible Artist”
A feud is brewing in the producer world between Hitmaka and Hit-Boy. It began on Wednesday during Hitmaka and Jim Jones’ press run for Back In My Prime when they appeared on Hot97. During the conversation, Hitmaka said that he’s a better producer because he’s on the radio more often. “I’m on the radio. Hit-Boy not on the radio,” Hitmaka said. “If you play the soundtrack to your life for the past four, five years on radio – I know it’s gotta be frustrating with ‘em my name is so similar, my brother.”
During the same interview, Jim Jones backed Hitmaka and suggested the two go hit-for-hit in a Verzuz battle. However, it seems like Hit-Boy has little interest in entertaining a battle so instead, he took his issues to the booth where he called out Hitmaka, and a few other producers. “I just seen Yung Berg smoke on the wave/ I should do him like Trick Trick and snatch Hit out his name,” he raps. “I’m like Debo on this cruiser/ How you got no credits without co-producers.”
Hitmaka Calls Hit-Boy A “Terrible Artist”
After Hit-Boy lashed out on wax, Hitmaka immediately slipped into the comment section where he expressed his disappointment. Hitmaka was far from impressed by Hit-Boy’s upcoming diss track, especially since he felt the references and bars sounded dated. “This is nasty and punchlines from over a decade ago,” he wrote. Hitmaka added that the diss record won’t land Hit-Boy on regular radio rotation. “Still won’t be on radio I expect from u king,” the 37-year-old producer added.
Following a four-hour period of listening to Hit-Boy’s snippet on loop, Hitmaka made it abundantly clear that he thought it was a weak attempt at a diss track. He said that he felt as though Hit-Boy was attempting to mimic Kendrick’s verse on Big Sean’s “Control.” “Is this your like attempt to do whatever Kendrick did on that big Sean record for producers???” He wrote. “U ARE A TERRIBLE ARTIST. SEND ME BEATS PLS.” Hit-Boy has yet to fireback at Hitmaka’s latest comments, though it doesn’t seem like everyone agrees with the “Thot Box” producer’s assessment. Check out Hitmaka’s comments above.
Hit-Boy Responds to Hitmaka Saying He Gets More Radio Play: ‘I Should Do Him Like Trick Trick’
Hit-Boy Calls Out Metro Boomin, Hitmaka, Mustard & Southside
A feud is brewing in the producer world after Hitmaka called out Hit-Boy. Hitmaka felt like Hit-Boy can’t see him because he’s had more success than the producer behind “Sicko Mode,” “N***as In Paris,” and Nas’s King’s Disease series. “I’m on the radio. Hit-Boy not on the radio,” Hitmaka said before stating that he has nothing but love for Hit. “If you play the soundtrack to your life for the past four, five years on radio – I know it’s gotta be frustrating with ‘em my name is so similar, my brother.”
Hitmaka undoubtedly has a strong discography with several singles that have been in rotation over the past few years. With his upcoming project with Jim Jones on the way this Friday, Back In My Prime, the momentum is already high for Hitmaka right now. Last week, Chlöe dropped her latest single from her forthcoming album, “How Does It Feel” ft. Chris Brown – his first major placement of the year. However, Hitmaka also has an album on the way, which will likely have the radio on smash, again.
Hit-Boy Responds To Hitmaka
Evidently, Hit-Boy took Hitmaka’s comments to heart and fired back on wax. Rory Farrell of Rory & Mal fame shared a video of Hit previewing a new track in the studio where he calls out his contemporaries while questioning their credentials as producers. On the song, Hit-Boy doesn’t hold back his feelings about Metro Boomin, Southside, Mustard, and of course, Hitmaka. “I’m usually homeboys with producers I get compared to/ But on this one I wanna stretched out, extra leg-room,” he raps on the song.
From there, he calls out Metro, claiming he “never heard him do boom-bap.” Then, he slights Southside for his signature use of 808s before taking aim at Mustard. However, the most scathing bars were aimed towards Hitmaka. “I just seen Yung Berg smoke on the wave/ I should do him like Trick Trick and snatch Hit out his name,” he raps. “I’m like Debo on this cruiser/ How you got no credits without co-producers.” Rory captioned the post, “Okay .. I’m instigating producer beef lmao @_Hitmaka you know you my guy but it’s on you.” Check out Hit-Boy’s bars above.
