Best verse from your favorite rapper?

[dead prez]

Cliche thread, but yes I'm limiting it to one verse and one rapper only. Keep in mind try to pick out their best verse not your favorite.

Anyways everyone pretty much knows my favorite rapper is Prodigy, and that my favorite verse from him is his last verse on HOE. I do also think that's his best mic performance of his career, eclipsing even his Shook Ones verse and Apostle's Warning verse. His first verse on this song is also underrated and is definitely in his top five verses, with quoteworthy lines like "Blood flood your eye fuck up your optics", but his last verse is his magnum opus.

He just hits you like a brick with his opening lines and never misteps all the way to the "closed for business" line, after that it feels like a bit of filler barely even rhyming in some lines, but still makes it listenable through mic presence alone. You just want to keep hearing the next line, he picks it up near the end again and finishes it off nicely with, "We flush through your clique get purged". Though it ends rather abruptly which always annoyed me tbh.

It's a package deal, you rob me, you take these missiles along with that

Speakers leakin out sound and niggaz leakin on the ground

blood on my kicks, shit on my knife

^That line always painted a picture in my head tbh^

Although none of his lines were impressive wordplay wise or that verse isn't technically adroit, I love the straightfowardness of his lines and the rawness of them. He made up for his lack of pengame with his voice that just pulls you in and a hypnotizing flow.

Such a shame bandana P fell off, either way mixtape rappers or those attempting to do hardcore shoud study some old P verses to see how it's done. (and Ghostface verses).

*waits for a bunch of Eminem verses

[classthe_king]

I'm honestly having a hard time deciding

[dead prez]

*waits for a bunch of Eminem verses

Yeah I'm expecting that tbh. Didn't really think about that, motherfucker.

@class that's probably good sign, and just shows how many good verses they have.

Chorus: Dido
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..
got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window..
and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be gray,
but your picture on my wall
It reminds me, that it's not so bad,
it's not so bad..

1st Chorus: volume gradually grows over raindrop background
2nd Chorus: full volume with beat right after "thunder" noise

[Eminem as 'Stan']
Dear Slim, I wrote but you still ain't callin
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got him
There probably was a problem at the post office or something
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot him
but anyways; fuck it, what's been up? Man how's your daughter?
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to be a father
If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her?
I'ma name her Bonnie
I read about your Uncle Ronnie too I'm sorry
I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him
I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan
I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
I like the shit you did with Ruckus too, that shit was phat
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,
just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan
This is Stan

{Chorus: Dido

[Eminem as 'Stan']
Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance
I ain't mad - I just think it's FUCKED UP you don't answer fans
If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert
you didn't have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew
That's my little brother man, he's only six years old
We waited in the blistering cold for you,
four hours and you just said, "No."
That's pretty shitty man - you're like his fucking idol
He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do
I ain't that mad though, I just don't like being lied to
Remember when we met in Denver - you said if I'd write you
you would write back - see I'm just like you in a way
I never knew my father neither;
he used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
I can relate to what you're saying in your songs
so when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on
cause I don't really got shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed
I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
See everything you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it
My girlfriend's jealous cause I talk about you 24/7
But she don't know you like I know you Slim, no one does
She don't know what it was like for people like us growin up
You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
Sincerely yours, Stan -- P.S.
We should be together too

{Chorus: Dido

[Eminem as 'Stan']
Dear Mister-I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans,
this'll be the last package I ever send your ass
It's been six months and still no word - I don't deserve it?
I know you got my last two letters;
I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it
I'm in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the freeway
Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive?
You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"
about that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning
but didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him?
That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning
Now it's too late - I'm on a 1000 downers now, I'm drowsy
and all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
I hope you know I ripped ALL of your pictures off the wall
I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you SCREAM about it
I hope your conscience EATS AT YOU and you can't BREATHE without me
See Slim; {*screaming*
Shut up bitch! I'm trying to talk!
Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin in the trunk
but I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you
cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too
Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
Oh shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this shit out?

{Chorus: Dido

[Eminem]
Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy
You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that
and here's an autograph for your brother,
I wrote it on the Starter cap
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I musta missed you
Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you
But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
I say that shit just clowning dog,
c'mon - how fucked up is you?
You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counseling
to help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some
And what's this shit about us meant to be together?
That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
or maybe you just need to treat her better
I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time
before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin just fine
if you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan
why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan
I just don't want you to do some crazy shit
I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
and had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid
and in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to
Come to think about, his name was.. it was you
Damn!

[classthe_king]

I'm deciding between the first verse of searching for some beautiful, the second and third verses from Exception to Everything, the 3rd verse of Absolution and both verses from Black Rose



lol...

[dead prez]

Yeah but it's just going to get to predictable and boring, I was expecting a slew of verses from other artists as well, I didn't take into account what forum this was on at the time, so yeah... Props for anyone who posts verses that aren't Eminem's though.

[dead prez]

It'll feel like I'm cheating though, and it won't really be their favorite rapper. So I'll just leave it.

[classthe_king]

Is that Tupac?

[dead prez]

Probably my favorite Ye verse as well, though all his verses on that song were great.

[Block]

The first and second verses from 'maple leaves' and the second verse from 'your glasshouse' are probably 2 of my favorite verses.

[FreeSpeech]

Is that Tupac?

...seriously?

I'd pick an Em verse, probably from Lose Yourself or SFTM, but I'll go with a Kanye verse instead:

We're going to mass today, we have to pray
Besides what the pastor say, I have to say
Since Pac passed away
Most you rappers don't even deserve a track from me
You see, if you ever wanted to ever be anything
There'd always be somebody that'd shoot down any dream
There'll always be haters, that's the way it is
Hater niggas marry hater bitches and have hater kids
But they're gonna have to take my life 'fore they take my drive
'cause when I was barely living, that's what kept me alive
Just the thought that maybe it could be better than what we at at this time
Make it out of this grind, 'fore I'm out of my mind
And get some lee way on the he say she say
You girl don't like me, how long has she been gay
Spanish girls say "No hable inglés"
And everybody want to run to me for their single
It's funny how these wack niggas need my help
Wasn't around when I couldn't feed myself
Dog, If I was you, I wouldn't feel myself
Dog, If I was you, I'd kill myself
Made a mill myself, and I'm still myself
And I'ma look in the mirror if I need some help
Now I'll speak from the heart, you all fronting
Everybody feel a way about K but at least you all feel something

I can't even explain how amazing this verse is to me, it's just so triumphant and defiant. It basically says "You weren't there when I was struggling, so F you now that I'm succesful." The whole verse is quotable to me.
The last line describes Kanye perfect, feel how ever you want about him, but at least you feel something.

[classthe_king]

I can't rememeber the last time I listened to tupac, it's been a couple years

[WakeUpShow]

Respect a G
My clique clap at you incessantly
I lay back and drink alcohol excessively
There ain't a rapper that's alive today that's testing me
I got degrees in being ignorant and weaponry
A 40 oz and Dutch Master is the recipe
That's my shit there, that'll be the death of me
Give me a death mask, better yet an effigy
I understand the math of death and it's complexity
I understand how you was violently murc'd
I understand how you were raised under the lies of the Church
But understand and recognize that I'm cursed
with the ability to end your fucking lives with a verse

Vinnie Paz in "Seven" by Army of the Pharaohs
