About The Record:

Superstar, by Temptations, was something of an early ancestor to the "diss songs" prevalent in hip hop music towards the end of the 20th century, Superstar is an attack at two former Temptations members, David Ruffin (who had been fired back in 1968) and Eddie Kendricks (who quit the act in early 1971 and negotiated a Motown solo deal). The song appears on the 1972 album Solid Rock. Superstar (Remember How You Got Where You Are) was a Top 10 hit on the Billboard R&B singles chart, and peaked at No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100.
