DMX Vs. Plies

DMX has sparked a new rap feud after firing off at Plies in a new radio interview.

The gruff-voiced Who We Be hitmaker, real name Earl Simmons, took aim at the Florida hip-hop star during a chat with St. Louis radio station Hot 104.1, calling him "one of the worst" rappers.

He was particularly fired up about Plies' Bruh Bruh hit, stating, "We, as artists, are teachers. And if you teaching people to spell like that and talk like that... then you're dumber than the people you're supposed to be teaching."

Asked who he admired in modern hip-hop, DMX singled out fellow former convict T.I. as one of his favourite artists.
