Top 10 Greatest Verses in Hip Hop History

[mossman75]

From hiphop360



# 10: Big Pun ‘You aint a Killer’ 1998 (1st verse)
“One of the last livin’ still in action, general assassin/Catchin’ any wreck, blastin’ any tech/Smashin any chest, passin any test, Charles Manson in the flesh/Any last requests before you meet your maker?/Sew what you reap and wake up, shakin up a storm like Anita Baker.

Personally, I'd take Bis' verse from "Fantastic Four" over this one.

Aside from that I ain't mad at a single verse on that list.

 

[The_Isomotion31]

"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 millennium"

Not a week goes by that I don't think of these lyrics at least once.

RZA's verse from Wu-Gambinos must be on this list

 

[putting in work]

Wow... that's a really really solid list...

I know most are going to dismiss it because Canibus is number one, but that verse was on another level when I heard it and in his prime nobody was seeing that dude... had mad rappers scared to jump on a song with him I remember lol.

I believe that's the verse that Canibus spit that went something like... "I been rocking longer than N's twice my age, before Bob Marley was rocking a fade, before Neanderthals were drawing on walls and caves..." I always said that was once of the sickest verses ever bar none.

Good list though!

I came in here JUST to see if Deck's verse was on that list.

# 4. Inspectah Deck – Triumph (1997) (1st verse)
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 millennium

Dat right there got me boppin my head 

 

[cyber smoke]

Nas Verbal Intercourse >



SOLID list though.

 

[krazy88s]

dial (9-1-7) 1-6-0-4-9-3-11

 

[seymore cake]

I'm actually really good with this list... I was really happy with #6 - 2.

 

[mangudai954]

Very solid list.

Definitely a top 20 verse... hell maybe even top 15, but I'm not mad at that list at all.

The heart the rib cage the chest and solar plexus
Castin stones, crackin two-hundred and six bones
And watch yo' @#@ get blown to a sea of fire and brimstone
How dare you approach it with dem poems..."

And of course this verse from "Holocaust" on RZA as Bobby Digital "In Stereo"

Originally Posted by Holocaust

"...Still diseased, kill viruses, planets and racial creatures
Made MC's sprout tumors so bad, lost facial features
Waste your peoples, left out in the rain, fountains of pain
Eighty shots to the mouth and the brain, shoutin my name
Holocaust, black man, whose veins, littered with thorns
Backsmack you so hard, all your seeds will be born deformed..."

Had to correct that last verse from a copy and paste... I know that one by heart.

 

[|A-Man|]

Don't care for the Canibus verse or that particular Redman verse but good list otherwise.

 

[shorty doo wop]

Last verse from One Love?

I agree with this. 

Also, last verse from this:

 

[illphillip]

Even if I'm smoked out I can't be scoped out,
I'm too ill.

 

[thegoat121886]

Can't be mad at that list but mine would have to have to have CL Smooth's first verse off TROY and Chuck D's second verse off Bring the NoiseEDIT: and Big Daddy Kane's verse off The Symphony

came in here to see if this made the list...but I knew it would be mostly up north

 

[mosthated770]

sad, but true.... ^^^

 

[fly23s]

wow immortal tech. the prophecy
I calculate planet alignment like Mayan astronomy
Discovering atrocities worst than Aristotle
Subjecting children to sodomy
Your theory of the galaxy is primitive like telome
The truth about the universe stuck up like Aztec pottery
Unpredictable results like experimental psychology
I stomp the streets with emcee's beneath my feet in colonies
But presentation and spirit revolve around autonomy
Searching for monogamy
And cutting fake @@!%%+% out of my mind like a lobotomy

Can we talk about a clear 90s era New York Hip Hop bias?

So all of the top rap verses came when NY was on TOP?

lol
