21 Savage - Jimmy Cooks
Lil Wayne - Birdman J.R.
Inspectah Deck - Triumph
Domo Genesis - Sam is Dead
I had no idea people fucked with BM JR like I did. It was easily my favorite off C1. BM JR 2 is one of my favorite Wayne tracks of all time as well, even with Birdman talking in the background the whole song lol.
It's really like R.A. knew he had one realistic chance to become relevant again and he absolutely doesn't miss.
Dude's been in my top 5 for years. His backstory is one of legends. Has a track with Biggie. One of the most technically skilled to ever do it.
And probably most importantly, his live shows are amazing.
Toooo tough.
"Bloodhounds found your shit buried in the mud/following traces of gun powder, residue and blood/a positive ID is impossible, so you know/John Doe is what they gon be puttin on that tag on your toe"
😤😤😤😤
Even though I don’t mind Bone Thugs N Harmony on the song, their verses don’t do it for me after Biggie’s *insane* verse.
I’ve heard Biggie’s verse so many times in my life that I have the entire thing memorized. I legit don’t know the BTNH’s verses on that song at all 😂
I'm not a big fan of Celph Titled but he kills this shit.

Ab-soul on the end is near
“HiiiPower to the third degree.
Murder, we emerged and it was an emergency.
It's closed curtains for you worthless earthlings.
Hurtin' 'cause I rise like mercury in the burning heat.
Word on the street Soulo done done it again.
Look at me, I used to match a dub sack with my friends.
Now we smokin' by the O, like the letters P and N
Ain't have to start watching CNN for you to see an end”
Timeless -Benny The Butcher
Lil Wayne’s verse was nuts, he was rapping his ass off. Wish it was longer. I’d take a 10 hour Lil Wayne verse any day on that beat
Man Of The Hour- Virtuoso
Thought vs. ?- The Roots
Definition of a Rap Flow- RA The Rugged Man
Master Thesis- Canibus
Best @ It- Brother Ali feat. Joell Ortiz and Freeway (Ali flows like a madman over a beat switch
Uncommon Valor- Jedi Mind Tricks feat. RA The Rugged Man
The last one is different because it is a powerful verse, that crafts a story, but RA is still rapping his ass off. That's all off the top of my head.
lots of Aesop Rock has him rapping his ass off about the most random shit. excerpt from None Shall Pass:
Sign of the vibe in the crowd / When i cut a belly open to find what climb out / There’s quite a bit of gusto to muster up / To make a dark horse rush like, enough’s enough / It musta struck a nerve, so they huff and puff / Till all the king’s men fluster and clusterfuck / And it’s a beautiful thing / To my people who keep an impressive even when the cubicle shrink / You gotta pull up the intruder by the root of the weed / NY chew through the machine
Fools look perplexed,
when Gen Z talks to X
About old cassettes,
Suplexed through a table,
Inspect the deck,
I’m out busting rhymes
And I’m breaking necks,
Young Thug- Just Might Be, Phoenix, OD, Overdosin, Up, Flaws, *GIVENCHY* , Breadwinners(Offset goes crazy too)
Migos- First 48, HotBoy, No Fuckin Wit, Cross The Country, No Label 2 intro, Rich then Famous, Thank You God
Sahbabii- Eazy, Scared of Myself, Gossip, Nike Socks, Ready to Eat, Squidrific
Lil Uzi- Grow Up, No Wait, x2, Run It Up, Finessin Hearts, Huh Boy, Early 20s Rager
Camron- He Tried To Play Me, Wet Wipes, War, Get Ya Gun, Bubble Music, Harlem Streets, Leave Me Alone, Why No, Welcome To New York City, Breathe ft Vado
Fabolous- Not Give a Fuck, Throw Back, I’m Raw, Body Ya
Big Pun- Super Lyrical
Redman- How High (original version, not that Diddy bullshit remix)
Busta Rhymes- Look Over Your Shoulder
Krazie Bone- The Points- his verse murdered that joint!!
Checkpoints - billy woods
Particularly the last verse where it sounds like the last message from a failed revolutionary who is gonna get executed
My goals was limited, just wanted to be the best
Just somethin' to get from one day to the next
Best tour advice I ever got, "You better off beatin' ya
Readin' your Bible, sweat beadin' on your lip
FBI agents listenin', Dr. King
Motel bed spring, this some freaky shit, freaky shit
Andrea Dworkin back of my mind, can't get it in without internet
Connection, connectin' against God, we formed weapons
'79, they stormed Mecca, the devil ambidextrous
Pony had one trick, no sweat
Watch plainclothes search for that elusive marijuana cigarette
Roulette wheel spin, no more bets
No surprise, the rich suggest you do more with less
Your revolution left the niggaratti unimpressed
Don't wait, dig the pits
Purge the leadership, don't hesitate
Ain't no half-steppin', step to 'em like
"You know what it is"
Rabbit Run - Eminem
This is the Eminem that I miss, personally.
Also the entire song “Ital” by the Roots just flows nicely for me. It’s like the perfect level of rapping your ass off because it sounds tasteful and clean, not trying to be fast for the sake of it or anything like that.
The obvious: Cappadonna on Winter Warz.
That one is bananas
Hot take: Inspectah Deck is just as good on that one (just too short)
i can’t think of a deck song where he doesn’t carry/at the very least hang with the top verses
Deck carried just about the entirety of Wu Tang Forever
A ton of Black Thought/The Roots tracks. Bird's Eye View by Static Selektah comes to mind. Jay-Z on God Did.
Its the elephant in the room Created by a collision of the sun and the moon My sonogram is an image of a gun in the womb That was soon to be doper than hero(i)n in a spoon My 2nd favorite emcee oat
Niggas kinda left earth for a sec on Universe at War with Common
Black thoughts verse on Birds Eye view is one of the greatest things ever recorded.
The verse on Momentum as well, but the one on Bird's eye view is crazy
I could probably name like 20 or something Black Thought verses. His overall catalog is insane. He never comes incorrect.
also him on rapid eye movement and wishin’ part 2
Birds eye view is so fucking good. I feel like people always go off when it's on a statik album
Yea, Web by The Roots is a classic example…Also Thought’s Reconstruction.
Thought @ work is another good one. But web is my favorite of Thought on a boom bap beat just spazzing
vince staples on hive and mavi on el toro combo meal
bonus points for Mavi's El Toro verse, rent must've been due in an hour or something when he hopped on that
Then earl comes in mumbling from deep inside a cave
both are fire
bro knew this was his opportunity and took full advantage
Nas - Memory Lane Biggie - Warning Earl Sweatshirt - AM // Radio Twista - Po’ Pimp Jay Rock - Money Trees 21 Savage - Jimmy Cooks Lil Wayne - Birdman J.R. Inspectah Deck - Triumph Domo Genesis - Sam is Dead
Jay Rock on Money Trees was rappin like rent was due 💯 💯 💯
Upvoted for BMJR. Hardest Wayne song ever, imo, and that's coming from an *enormous* Drought 3 fanboy.
I had no idea people fucked with BM JR like I did. It was easily my favorite off C1. BM JR 2 is one of my favorite Wayne tracks of all time as well, even with Birdman talking in the background the whole song lol.
BMJR2 is one of those songs where I can remember exactly where I was the first time I heard it like 17 years ago.
BM JR was my answer so I’m with your answer
Bum budududu doo doo doooo *hoopla* budududu bmmm bum bum 19 still getting kicked out the crib
>Lil Wayne - Birdman J.R. Hard agree. Wayne's best song imo. He fucking spazzed and the beat is insane
Kool G Rap - Men At Work. I mean, he's just spittin'.
Classic track💯
Fall Back - Big L, Kool G
Literally any Big L song aside from his equally incredible storytelling tracks:
Fast Lane by Em & Royce
Just listened to that randomly today haha
Uncommon Valor. Vinnie is solid but RA straight kills it
It's really like R.A. knew he had one realistic chance to become relevant again and he absolutely doesn't miss. Dude's been in my top 5 for years. His backstory is one of legends. Has a track with Biggie. One of the most technically skilled to ever do it. And probably most importantly, his live shows are amazing.
RA is up there at the top for me too. Legends Never Die is in my top 5 albums for sure
Also RA with AFRO - Gotta Be Dope
Organized Konfusion - Releasing Hypnotical Gases
DMX's verse on Ni**az Done Started Something
“i got an army of 730 niggas, dirty niggas that come through and worry niggas 30 niggas that like to bury niggas”
Toooo tough. "Bloodhounds found your shit buried in the mud/following traces of gun powder, residue and blood/a positive ID is impossible, so you know/John Doe is what they gon be puttin on that tag on your toe" 😤😤😤😤
"...surgery with a *chainsaw*" line often just randomly pops up in my head.
GZA’s verse on Protect Ya Neck will leave ya headpiece hangin. Matter of fact everyone blew that song up except meth and RZA imo.
Nas - Victory, Take It In Blood, World’s An Addiction Lupe - Mural Kendrick & J Cole - Black Friday Outkast - B.O.B Lil Wayne - A Milli
Freddie Foxxx on The MILITIA
J.I.D.- Off Da Zoinkys, 151 Rum, Never, Just In Time Freddie Gibbs on Mick Jenkins' Show & Tell Big Sean on KAYTRAMINE'S Master P
Adrenaline Rush- Twista
I'd add Overdose too
Definitely!!!!!!!!!
Ya Overdose is wild. That whole album really.
Lupe - "Murals"
Common - Pyramids
Biggies verse on notorious thugs is fuckin electric
When that album dropped, you popped in the cd, and that song kicked off with biggies verse. Minds were BLOWN.
Even though I don’t mind Bone Thugs N Harmony on the song, their verses don’t do it for me after Biggie’s *insane* verse. I’ve heard Biggie’s verse so many times in my life that I have the entire thing memorized. I legit don’t know the BTNH’s verses on that song at all 😂
Eyedea/Oliver Heart - Weird Side
Prodigy on Apostles Warning Or Prodigy on any track off hell on earth tbh
Kurupt on New York New York was underrated
Big Pun - Dream Shatterer
