| '''Osama Bin Laden Diss Track''' is an unsolved parody rap dating from the mid-2000s. The track samples '''The Watcher''' by '''Dr. Dre''' and has been misatributed to '''Eminem''' due to the artist performing the song having a similar flow to him.
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| In 2001, Dr. Dre had announced a diss track against the Taliban. The parody song, published online sometime after this and uses the beat from Dr. Dre's 1999 song The Watcher. The rapper, doing an impression of Bin Laden, spends most of the track insulting Dre and referencing events of September 11th.
| |
| The earliest known upload of the song was posted in 2007 by a YouTube channel called '''x391'''.
| |
| The song has been frequently misatributed to Eminem due to somewhat similar styles between his tracks and the diss. This was furthered by the fact Eminem has impersonated Bin Laden before. A friend of Eminem, Mr Porter, refuted thus speculation in a currently deleted tweet.
| |
| | |
| ==Search==
| |
| Initial investigation suggested that x391 had made the song. This was supported by the fact that they had posted the oldest upload of the diss and hadn't posted anything before or since.
| |
| This was debunked when an older sample of the song was found in a video by '''JESSON12''', who uploaded an incomplete snippet of it.
| |
| | |
| Old school parody provocateur Youtuber '''Rucka Rucka Ali''' was suggested as a possible suspect, as was '''Denace''', a rapper known for making Eminem-style tracks. Both of them were contacted by COBEYSUCKS and both denied making the track in private messages.
| |
| | |
| Currently it is thought that the diss was shared through Limewire or other p2p file sharing platforms on the early internet. A few people have indicated they remember the track from one of these websites.
