They can't really choose underground songs though.

So everybody has to keep that in mind.

Kendrick could have had all 25 though tbh. Or at the very least... 10.

mainstream or underground, Kendrick, Lupe Fiasco and nas should have been on this list at least more than once :y:

It's 'my jam was off'. As if his music wasn't being played

Still unsure how makes sense

Nas on Locomotive and A Queen's Story should be there. Maybe not both but one of them deserves to make an appearance on this list.
And Kendrick's verses on HiiPower and Rigamortis are fire. Hell, this list needs more Kendrick!

by **LIL_B** » May 30th, '13, 23:00

Nas on TBD should have been there.

[/quote]I agree with him having poor grammar structure some times but lately (as of 2011) he's been on fire. What are some examples of recent senseless verses? At first listen his shit typically sounds weird, but it makes perfect sense when you review it back.

I'm a big fan of Tech but some of what he says doesn't make sense, like in BITCH:

"You know I'm wicked see, I'm fly & I floss, but why am I lost? Like my jama's off?"

What the fuck does being naked having too do with being lost in this context?[/quote]

He's saying like his jam is off, as if his music isn't good.[/quote]

Ah, it sounded like he says "jama's off" as in pajama's/
"I mixed oprea, now every cliques got the sick caca with lots of rippin' and bout they, oughta".
Doesn't make much sense, I get that he's saying he's helped incorporate Oprea into Hip Hop and fast rapping etc. but it's really bad grammatically.
"Sick caca", what's that mean, man?
Don't get me wrong, Tech is a beast and in my Top 10/20 but what he says doesn't always make sense.

by **CrashBand** » May 31st, '13, 02:55

Tech N9nes lyrics are so shit. Up there with Lil Wayne's and stuff.

He just has a good flow and rhymes a fuck-ton.

"She demanded jelly, but I re-ran the Kelly
I'm springing the yelly and it's swell because I slammed the pelvy"

If that ain't forced rhyming, I don't know what is.

Nicki's verse wasn't even THAT fucking good. Yeah, it was the standout verse but look how shit everyone else was.

Nikki killed that shit. It wasn't the BEST verse in the last 5 years but I agree it's top 25, probably top 10, I love it.

Fuck no. Not even top THIRTY for that fucking YEAR.

Pull up in the monster automobile, gangsta
With a bad bitch that came from Sri Lanka
Yeah I'm in that Tonka color of Willy Wonka
You could be the king but watch the queen conquer

^Yeah, some GOAT shit right there.

Sure. He has some GOD-AWFUL verses, but his flow and rhyming is interesting. Not to mention he's fairly consistent.

by **SliK** » May 31st, '13, 05:07

Yeah, he consistently forms incoherent sentences.

Yeah they're usually full of mainstream bullshit.

Em's Microphone verse was on another level but they'd never include shit like that.

by **CrashBand** » May 31st, '13, 08:41

Nicki's verse is sick.

Her different intonations are awesome.
