nail in the coffin

A phrase popularized by Eminem in his 2003 diss-track dedicated to ending Ray Benzino's career, it means to seal one's demise.
The first recorded use of this phrase was in 1792, when Pindar, also known as John Wolcot, stated “Care to our coffin adds a nail, no doubt.”

Guy 1: Did you hear about Ray Benzino?
Guy 2: Literally who?
Guy 3: I've heard about him. He was this old guy peak Eminem absolutely assassinated in his hit diss-track "Nail in the Coffin" and another diss-track "The Sauce"
