Favorite Verses on a song

The Dead Poet · 08-16-2018, 10:44 PM

Featured or their own song. What are some of your favs? Whether it's from lyrics, flow, or just delivery. There's some obvious one's that I won't post here like Decks Triumph verse, Puns little iatly, Em's Dead Wrong ect.

^this came on today in the car and is probably one of my favs ever so made me think of some others.

^ Crooked I's verse. It's the first one.

First verse

^Bigga's first verse.

^THIS SONG FUCKING SUCKS.....but at 1:18 Andre fucking 3000 absolutely murders it.

Love this shit.

Bambu's first verse.

^ his flow on the whole song is dope...but the second verse at 1:40 is dope as fuck.....plus he mention benazir bhutto

^Bonus crooked I verse at 1:20

I'll probably post more, but these were one's that I thought of first.

Da$h on Ab-Soul’s song Huey Knew

I have no idea when it starts in that link. And there are 3 album versions. But @ roughly 2:20 is my favorite verse. I've listened to it more than a hundred times but if it catches me at the right time I still get chills. My favorite band going for it. The verse is only so good if you listen to the first half. "I could sigh into your hide and say I hope I'm here forever" is so God damm fucking perfect. To be lame, I seriously thought about tatoo'ing the verse's lyrics on myself when deciding how to erase my shit tattoo. With age and distance I can objectively say this isn't in OR/Will Sheff's top 10 in terms of lyricism but it has that perfect combination of poetry. music, personal nostalgia, and delivery for me.

My favorite rap verse is either

Elzhi's verse from 2:23 to 3:28. But like above it's worth listening to the whole song. For a different reason here. Because this is just a normal hyperlyrical backpack track, common in the era. But Elzhi's pauses and scheme is fucking dumb. I think about the Source Mag delivery when in a bad mood. I honestly dont think you can deliver a rap verse better than this. Take the schemes of your favorite textcee then actually spit it and make the delivery the point. Fuck off. I want to build a home and live forever on the "what's even more sick" line delivery and just retire in anticipation for the rhyme I know's coming. Might be different in the Lord's eyes. Fingertips touch the ceiling from the refilling of the uzi. Just. Fuck. Off.

Or Eminem's verse on Forgot About Dre which is literally perfect. I wont link it because you can recite it yourself. Two car garage. Fuck off.

Shout out to Aesop Rock's "Battery" and a shitload of El-P ($4/vic's second half is a fucking masterpiece)/RTJ (Killer Mike's verse on Merry Christmas or w/e is top tier) verses

Always liked holocaust on this. Hea firat

Always liked rugged man on this. Starts at 1:40 may possibly be the most ripped flow ive ever heard on a beat. He honestly shit his brains out here. But.most of u know this..

canibus teaching the universe how to own a feature

immortal technique's verse, the second, is outstanding

sought this track out when guru passed, forgetting how deck goes the fuck in

too easy. naS kills it. also throw in anytime him and az bumped heads on a track (life's a bitch et al)

andre's verse is different, but dope. also his work on aquemini (title track, rosa parks, and da art of storytellin pt.2) are verses you just can't fuck with.

pharaohe's verse is something i don't get tired of. also him on no mercy (ft. mop) probably tripled my ability to enunciate/flow rapidly just by trying to keep up with this nigga,

em has a bunch but renegade and patiently waiting stick out to me so far as features go. sticky fingaz on remember me comes to mind too.

kurupt chews up the feature, going last in this remix.

wu and their affiliates have a tonne, but here's a less obvious one.

as soon as i think of one i think of about 10 more so i'll just leave it here. word to ra the rugged that might be the best feature ever.

good thread tho (Y)
