“Pop Goes the Weasel” by 3rd Bass (f/ PJ Caruso)

This past year, we witnessed a diss track win Grammys and get performed at the Super Bowl, but over three decades ago, there was another diss track that became an unlikely hit. “Pop Goes the Weasel” by 3rd Bass took aim at Vanilla Ice and the growing commercialization of hip-hop, delivering biting bars over a beat laced with samples from Peter Gabriel and Stevie Wonder. It climbed to #1 on the Billboard Rap chart and gave the trio—MC Serch, Pete Nice, and DJ Richie Rich—their biggest mainstream moment. Our good buddy PJ Caruso joins us this week to talk about the brief but impactful rise of 3rd Bass, a group that took shots at others on the way up, only to turn their lyrical weapons on each other not long after.
