Songs where guests completely steal the song

Postby dead prez » Jan 6th, '11, 06:48

Basically where the guest steals the spotlight, and just ethers the other artist. I'm not even talking about songs like Verbal Intercourse, Eye 4 an Eye, etc.

I mean this

I mean do people even know Cormega's verse in this song?

Another one

Deck had the better verse on Mean Streets IMO.

Inspectah Deck on Gangstarr's "Above the Clouds" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IoPeNC4k_0

^ one of the best guest verse ever, in my top 5 verses spit over a Primo beat
Same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Sh.., Thats' only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
You see Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas; see Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified

Nas on Main Source' "Live At The BBQ" :


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La7l5HIsz_A

Street's disciple, my raps are trifle
I shoot slugs from my brain just like a rifle
Stampede the stage, I leave the microphone split
Play Mr. Tuffy while I'm on some Pretty Tone shit
Verbal assassin, my architect pleases
When I was twelve, I went to hell for snuffin' Jesus
Nasty Nas is a rebel to America
Police murderer, I'm causin' hysteria
My troops roll up with a strange force
I was trapped in a cage and let out by the Main Source
Swimmin' in women like a lifeguard
Put on a bulletproof, nigga I strike hard
Kidnap the President's wife without a plan
And hangin' niggas like the Ku Klux Klan
I melt mics till the sound waves over
Before steppin' to me you'd rather step to Jehovah
Slammin' MCs on cement
Cause verbally, I'm iller than a AIDS patient
I move swift and uplift
Your mind shoot the gift when I riff in rhyme
Rappin' sniper, speakin' real words
My thoughts react, like Steven Spielberg's
Poetry attacks, paragraphs punch hard
My brain is insane, I'm out to lunch God
Science is dropped, my raps are toxic
My voice-box locks and excels like a rocket


Best guest verse ever IMO.

Came back to annihilate, the game's in dire straights, as I await
Word on Satan, as I drop, fall to my knees before this Quija board and I pray
Now I lay me down to sleep
I do this shit in my sleep, I’m sleepin' now, imagine if I awake

Renegade would be if Jay-Z had an average or just good verse. But, Jay-Z came extremely hard. Eminem still got him but didn't quite steal the song despite having spit two of the best verses ever.

This, Eminem destroyed the track and had a godly verse but Jay z brought his A game as well. They're a lot closer than people make them out to be. Renegade is on the same level as,Verbal Intercourse and Eye 4 an Eye, while Nas shitted on the tracks as well, I could see others liking the other verse as well (Raekwon, Havoc, Prodigy came the weakest in that song), and (Ghostface was pretty dope on Verbal Intercourse as well).

Am I the only that likes Kanye's verse the best on Monster, btw?

Other tracks would be

Rakim on I'll bus Em u Punish Em, his flow was impeccable on his opening verse

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lLdJIx6iGc

Surprised no on mention Uncommon Valor

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiCoJGHbG_E


Song where the two verses are really close, but I feel Raekwon got Ghostface with his verse

Pretty much any track with RA The Rugged Man as a guest
in more recent times Black Thought absolutely destroys it on Ghostface's on "In The Park"
Same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Sh.., Thats' only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
You see Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas; see Caesar, see Brutus
