Time for me to chime in on this thread.  My submission is a 1993 song by Rodney O and Joe Cooley from their album F_K New York.  This West Coast rap group decided to dump their label and go it alone on their fourth album.  They had to sell all of their cars and possession to afford to produce the album, but they were confident in their ability to do it themselves.  The lyrics portray the profound East Coast bias against West Coast rappers, and has been specifically described as a diss track towards Tim Dog.  The melody features a rhythmic samples from Zapp's More Bounce to the Ounce and Flashlight.  The result is a straight-up dance jam that is perfect for popping and breaking.

Here are some interesting lyrics from the song:

"Time for me to kick another fly and funky verse, and if I die put a sound system in my hearst."

"I got a New York critic in a choke hold.  He dissed my record 'cause he didn't like my bongos.  Now I'm showing him the meaning of loco.  I'm not friends with my peers so I'm overlooked.  I've got the P-funk, fool, on the funky hook.  I'm paying suckers back for all the years of dissing me, and now I'm rollin' and their ain't no stopping me."

(Note: Apologies for the hoochie mamas in the video.)
