Favourite Verses?
 

I assume there is a thread for this somewhere, but if not, here goes.

The title pretty much says it all, but it would be nice to hear you guy's favourite Hip Hop verses. Either post a track, the lyrics or both if possible. Also, if you are posting a track, maybe point out when it starts. Also, it would be great if you explained what you particularly liked about the verse.

Here's mine for the moment.



EL-P starts at around 3:35. I love how he basically spits his 16 bars whilst counting to 16 in some form or another. Just excellent.

Inspectah Deck on Wu-Tang's Triumph


I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies
and hypothesis can't define how I be droppin these
mockeries, lyrically perform armed robbery
Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me
Battle-scarred shogun, explosion when my pen hits
tremendous, ultra-violet shine blind forensics
I inspect you, through the future see millenium
Killa B's sold fifty gold sixty platinum
Shacklin the masses with drastic rap tactics
Graphic displays melt the steel like blacksmiths
Black Wu jackets queen B's ease the guns in
Rumble with patrolmen, tear gas laced the function
Heads by the score take flight incite a war
Chicks hit the floor, diehard fans demand more
Behold the bold soldier, control the globe slowly
Proceeds to blow swingin swords like Shinobi
Stomp grounds and pound footprints in solid rock
Wu got it locked, performin live on your hottest block

:banghead:Everyone says this... he is just blabbering on and short to make it sound all sick; which I'll give it him credit for. The rare Mac Dre album says it all "it's not what you say... it's how you say it". Have you read the lyrics? They're alright and super choppy.

But that's your opinion and everyone is different...


UGK - Diamonds & Wood - YouTube

Final verse, performed by Pimp C

Here's the one that used to be used a lot, and there's even an older one here, but it was much less popular.

Anyway, to not be a spoilsport, here's a piece of Wu Banga 101, GZA's devastating opener:

Yo, too advanced, Digi' stance, made the CD enhanced
I move with the speed and strength of ants
Identical in form with the Beez they swarm
Hold up the cold current appear warm
My first verbal brawl, started on some yes yes y'all
To the beat y'all, break your windshield, your jeep stall
Mr. Traffic, dumbin ****, from ecclesiastic
Cashier, holdin out, fine, cut off the plastic
See the logo? A monument in hip-hop
Carved out, in the giant landscape, of broken rocks
Whether heard in herb spots, jukebox or malt shops
Uncut live, drop eighty-five, in one shot
Spotlight hits the metal mic, majority stare
Heard the Wu snare, while my iris cut down the glare
Walk a road the great length you find too long to measure
My Clan a make me rhyme like D. Banner under pressure
No surprise, double disc touched five
Those elements, kept environments colonized
With the high flyin death-defyin flow like the Rebel
Right there, but you're one light year, from my level



The whole song is ill, but that's my favorite.

Gucci verse on PATS is Redickulous :bowdown: 3:25

It's still "I dont give a finnuck" -2 Chainz Song: Crack

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 ****
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 niggaz like the Ku Klux Klan
I melt mics till the sound waves over
Before steppin to me you'd rather step to Jehovah
Slammin MC's 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 voicebox locks and excels like a rocket
(Nas)

Ah, beautiful song.

"Straight outta callipinark"

he is so ridiculous on that song. Do you think they censor "finnuk" on the radio?

Bushwick Bill's second verse on "Mind of A Lunatic". Just listen to him, the dude is nuts! haha! Starts at 0:57 seconds in.
