I think it goes without saying that No Vaseline is better than any diss record Eminem has put out. NWA was hot at the time AND Cube picked every member of the crew apart (especially Eazy E, who destroyed both Snoop and Dre a few years later in Real MF-ing G's).
Also, since when is dissing an R&B singer (Mariah) noteworthy for a Hip-Hop artist? Come on, bruh. He dissed her all because she said she never dated him. That alone destroys Eminem's credibility, so I'm not even sure why people talking about that. Dissing Benzino? Everlast? Both rappers weren't relevant at the time, and Everlast peaked in the early 90s with the House of Pain. No one was listening to him during his feud with Eminem. Nick Cannon? The comedian? Really? Ja Rule? That was a group effort. It took 50 Cent (who did most of the work, IIRC), Busta Rhymes, D12, Obie Trice and Eminem to destroy his career.
I would even go out on a limb and say that none of Eminem's beefs with the people listed (although they were entertaining) hold a candle to any notable beefs (Jigga vs. Nas, LL Cool J vs. Cannibus, T.I. vs Lil Flip, 50 Cent vs Jadakiss, 50 Cent vs Cam'ron, Tupac vs. Mobb Deep, the list goes on).
As for the thread, since it's a straight freestyle, Eminem would probably body him. Eminem has a background in battle rapping, while Cube was strictly about the pen. If they were releasing diss records and both were in their prime, I'd give it Cube.
