[Trimss]

Pk, 12, Painkiller and Revolutionary

[SG.]

I really don't understand picking Danny Brown out of all the people on 1Train though. KRIT and Yela tore that song to shreds.

[Trimss]

Yeah. I was surprised by the positive feedback Yela received.

[Shameek]

Listening to Forever, Maad City and A Milli

I have no problem with these verses being that high

[Elision]

mostly a horrible list

edit: didn't even feature tech's first verse from mental giant

[Rattle1]

The top 6 is solid, I'm just not sure about Nicki being that high but her verse definitely deserves to be on the list.
And where is Nas "Queens Get the Money" ?

[RoleModel'Est96]

Shouldve been Big Krit-1 Train tbh

[Snakebeast]

And once again, Complex shows that their writers are complete faggots

[LIL_B]

[Shameek]

Nicki did have a monster verse yes but top 25 in the last 5 years out of every rapper? Not even close.

None of those verses are top 25 in the last 5 years..what is this trash seriously.

I think that at least the half of these verses are indeed top 25 in the last 5 years, based on the structure, delivery, flow, rhythm, lyrics,.. It's all opinions of course but a lot of them deserved to be on this list
