Post your favorite verse of all time

Nah Son · July 2012

I'm very positive that no one has ever come up with this genius thread idea yet.

I bomb atomically
Socrates' philosophies and hypotheses
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
Killer Bees 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, die hard 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, performing live on your hottest block

Inspectah Deck on Triumph, the definition of fire.

When it comes to discussing the best verses in rap history, this has to be one of the first that come to mind.

He absolutely MURKED that ? b

What yall got

jono · July 2012

Inspectah Deck on "Triumph" was indeed epic.

My favorite:
"I heard you ? wanna catch me off guard
put Tecks to my heart, the death of Escobar
under your breath, whispers in the dark
I hear it 'cause the street ain't loyal to choose sides
prepare for the beef, whoever lose dies
rich and I'm thuggin'
I can't trust nothin', this ? that I'm ? '
this clip that I'm bustin' could jam in my fist
look at my hand, finger ? with expensive rings
cut coke cookies, wrote poetry
and broke noses B.
the voice from Heaven
I'm ? sent, of course a legend
this is part 1, speak my sermon, the hood reverend
blunted eyes red
C-Class, a Hundred times Five Red
CD's blast, speed fast, haters drop dead
I'm gorgeous
black Goddess flip the arm rest, flip the cordless
her body stacks the best, ass is flawless
finally the long awaited ? , ghetto people
the sequel
Nas, CNN, nobody's equal.

Threads like this always ? me up because I'll post some ? and then see another post and be like "Aww ? , forgot about that" lol!

I know alot of people don't like Em, but this is one of my favorite jawns.

"No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this ? roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhyming and stepped right into the next cypher
Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these ? food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard, and it's getting even harder
Trying to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screaming on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only ? option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go it's my shot.
Feet fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got"

"Lose Ya' Self" 3rd verse

Billy_Poncho · July 2012

First verse of D'evils

This ? is wicked on these mean streets
None of my friends speak, we're all tryin' to win, but then again
Maybe it's for the best though
Cause when they're sayin' too much
You know they're tryin' to get you touched
Whoever said illegal was the easy way out
Couldn't understand the mechanics and
The workings of the underworld, granted
9 to 5 is how to survive, I ain't trying to survive
I'm tryna live it to the limit and love it a lot
Life ills, poisoned my body
I used to say '? mic skills,' I never prayed to ?
I prayed to Gotti, that's right it's wicked
That's life I live it ain't asking for forgiveness for my sins, ends
I break bread with the late heads
Picking their brains for angles on
All the evils that the game'll do
It gets dangerous, money and power is changin' us
And now we're lethal, infected with D'evils

yea some many dope verses out there after i post this 3 other verses will pop in my head

Scarface:

I read the book of Revalations
and now I realize we in revalations
and on that note I make this statement
For all the young guns to become one to die young
because the world is filled with hatred
and they aim to blame our sons
and I done seen down the barrel of a strap before
but I don't wanna die no mo', I fear the reaper
help us Jesus, help to keep us away from all the sadness
and deliver us from the hate that cause the madness
I'm glad its installed in me from day one
Believe in something because most of my homies believe in nothing
and paying for it, ? bless your souls, I'll be praying for it
eventually you'll have your day in court
and I done been a witness to homocide
seen a whole family die
before the stones of diamonds in the sky
through my bloodshot eyes feel the hurt and all the hate
that I've trapped inside because the hurtin' hard to ache
there's a smile on my face
but, that's to keep a man from crying
cause deep down inside, I know I'm dying
I'm born for it, gon' take some time to getting used to
and Satan I know that your listening but I rebuke you
and refuse to let you capture me and ? my will
just to survive the game of life, win or lose
do or die, refuse to let you capture me to ? my will
to survive the game of life, win or lose, do or die

supYo · July 2012

some dope ryhmes here....hard to say man...id say 2pacs white mans world last verse for now

So tell me why you changed
Choosing new direction
In a blink of an eye
My time away just made perfection
You think I'd die
Not gonna cry
Why should I care
Like we holding on to lost love
That's no longer there
Can you please help me
? Bless me please
Keep my seeds healthy
Banging on my enemies Bleed
While my G's wealthy
Hoping they bury me
With ammunition, weed, and shells
Just in case they trip in heaven
Ain't no G's hell
Sister sorry for the pain
That I caused your heart
I know I'll change
If you help me
But Don't fall apart
Rest In Peace
To Latasha, Little Yummy, and Kato
To much for this cold world to take
Ended up being fatal
Every women in America
Especially Black
Bear with me, can't you see
We're under attack
I never meant to cause drama
To my sister and Mama
Will we make it
To better times

In this white man worlds

I MUST WIN · July 2012

One, time ? one time
I’m calling ? out like the umpire
Seven, grams in the blunt
Almost drowned in her ? so I swam to her butt
It’s Eastside, we in this ?
Wish a ? would like a tree in this ?
And if a leaf fall put some weed in that ?
That’s my MO add a B to that ?
I’m ? up, torn down
I’m twisted: door ?
Talk stupid, off with your head!
? money talks and Mr Ed!
I’m so Young Money got a drum on the gun
Energizer bunny
Funny how honey ain’t sweet like sugar
Ain’t ? sweet ? on the street like hookers
I tongue kiss her other tongue
Skeet skeet skeet: water gun
Oh my ? , Becky, look at her butt! Tunechi

Jeru Da Damaja's verse on "Return of the Crooklyn Dodgers"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opWYnUpNtG8

"Listen cause for your mind I got the right nutrition
We keep ? hard like fat ? and cases of Heineken
Here in Brooklyn, home of the warrior and villain
Trife type chicks Top Billin's, the anthem
Rastas smoke marijuana
Enterprising businessmen shoot dice on the corner
Excuse me while I light my spliff, but some choose to sip
So bullets hit brains, when bottles hit lips
Clips whatever happened to 38. special
Now it's Desert Eagles, government issue
Probably the same one that killed Noriega
Chips that powered nuclear bombs, power my Sega
Subliminal hypnotism and colonialism
leaves most ? dead or in prison
In Crooklyn, right hand cuts off the left hand
to spite the hand, jealous of the next man
So violent crimes, black on black, plus mad ? to boot
Everybody can't rap, so most hustle and shoot
Make money money, get money take money
I can't understand that concept cause "Jah" rules everything around me
Fire burns the unjust like arson larsony
melt MC's with mental telepathy
With precision, we're slicin and dicin
Peace to the East New York, Perverted Monks, and Mike Tyson"

Biggie's verse on Victory

vslyke · July 2012

A classic one no one has mentioned, Scarface on "This Can't Be Life"

Now as I walk into the studio, to do this with Jig'
I got a phone call from one of my nigs
Said my homeboy Reek, he just lost one of his kids
And when I heard that I just broke into tears
And see in the second hand; you don't really know how this is
But when it hits that close to home you feel the pain at the crib
So I called mine, and saddened my wife with the bad news
Now we both depressed, countin our blessings cause Brad's two
Prayin for young souls to laugh at life through the stars
Lovin your kids just like you was ours
And I'm hurtin for you dog; but ain't nobody pain is like yours
I just know that heaven'll open these doors
And ain't no bright side to losin life; but you can view it like this
? 's got open hands ? , he in the midst.. of good company
Who loves all and hates not one
And one day you gon' be wit your son
I could've rapped about my hard times on this song
But heaven knows I woulda been wrong
I wouldn'ta been right, it wouldn'ta been love
It wouldn'ta been life, it wouldn'ta been us
This can't be life

Through the lights cameras and action, glamour glitters and gold
I unfold the scroll, plant seeds to stampede the globe
When I'm deceased, by then the beast arise like yeast
to conquer peace leaving savages to roam in the streets
Live on the run, police paying me to give in my gun
Trick my Wisdom, with the system that imprisoned my son
Smoke a gold leaf I hold heat, nonchalantly
I'm grungy, but things I do is real it never haunts me
while, funny style ? roll in the pile
Rooster heads profile on a bus to Riker's Isle
Holdin weed inside they ? with they minds on the
pretty things in life, props is a true thug's wife
It's like a cycle, ? come home, some'll go in
Do a bullet, come back, do the same ? again
From the ? to the tomb, presume the unpredictable
Guns salute life, rapidly, that's the ritual

Mystikal's first verse on Whatcha think despite his aquired taste style he's lyrical on da low da track sounds betta rather then lyrics posted :

I already done told ya ?
? I showed y'all ?
When I slaughtered ya ?
This how I sold ya ?
? if ya put yourself in a fight
Here me kick it
I get flashlight how we get it with it specific and artistic
Spare rhymes and rough drafts get it done tighter
I stay clear you cut the war underwear
I'll hold ya back ? cause ya shystie
When my blood start bubblin I get fystie
Laced with cyanide
hard education if somebody try to bite me
Scratchy, flows come across hypely
Closer than your ? icy
Reaching my level is highly unlikely
Precisely I'm the right king I be
Why in the sam hell would you take it upon yourself to ever try me
Got be suffering some type of fault or malfunction
You don't want this situation to get both dangerous and rambunctious
Why y'all be thinking about beef I be thinking bout big numbers
On top of things running ? why you ? going under
If I take your ass on this track it'll probably defeat the purpose
Cause that half ass material you putting out
probably ain't gone never surface
You harmless, you couldn't blow the bomb up
Couldn't keep up the pace I set
I'll whoop your ass with my warm-ups
Entertainer rap composer and performer
Map located on the southern corner
I'm making the way like they at a parade
? get fitted for graves for going for brave
When them bullets get sprayed
So I ain't no hangman no gang bang
? , I'm trying to change things
We stuck on the same thang
Stealing draws from Les Unplauge
Then I can go back to the trunks of cars of the upper esilonge
Blunts and guns roll like M1s tasers
Smoke weed all the way to the bank
? what the ? you think

Hop in your Hummer, the Punisher's ready; meet me at Vito's
with Noodles, we'll do this dude while he's slurping spaghetti
Everybody kiss the ? floor, Joey ? , buck em all

biggie's first verse in victory In The Commision, you ask for permission to hit em
He don't like me, him and wild wifey was wit em
You heard of us, the murderers, most shady
Been on the low lately, the feds hate me
The son of *Satan*, they say my killin's too blatant
You hesitatin, I'm in your mama crib waitin
Duct tapin, your fam destiny
lays in my hands, gat lays in my waist
Francis, M to the iz-H phenominal
Gun rest under your vest by the abdominal
Rhyme a few bars so I can buy a few cars
And I kick a few flows so I can ? a few hoes
Excellence is my presence, never tense
Never hesitant, leave a ? bent real quick
Real sick, brawl nights, I perform like Mike
Anyone -- Tyson, Jordan, Jackson
action, pack guns, ridiculous
And I'm, quick to bust, if my ends you touch
Kids or girl you touch, in this world I clutch
Two auto-matoes, used to call me fatso
Now you call me Castro, my rap flows
militant, y'all ? ain't killin ?
Ooops Cristal keep spillin ? , you overdid it homes
You in the danger zone, you shouldn't be alone
Hold hands and say it like me
The most shady, Frankie baby, fantastic
Graphic, tryin to make dough, like Jurassic
Park did quick to spark kids who start ?
See me, only me
The Underboss of this holocaust
Truly yours, Frank White

Jay-Z (squeeze first) Last verse:

See when I'm low in digits, I push blow in a blizzard
I'm a player for real, I post and pivot
Coke distribute, be where the ghostes visit
Where the demons live, ? my scene is vivid
Squeamish kids, y'all get the ? outta this verse
It's about to get so obscene in a minute
I seen and live it, I did some things I admit it
Wasn't proud of it, but I was a child ? it
Kept a pow tucked in a brown belt
Couldn't sit down, big gun kept stickin my pelvis
? it was either that or be livin wit Elvis
? is jealous, hell is hot, you heard X
Wanted to tell ? that I don't deserve this
Was afraid that he'd tell me I deserve less
My life was nervous, you haven't heard stress
Til you heard the cries of my mama, me givin her drama
Told her I aint promised tomorrow, gotta live for the day
And before she could say Jay...
I was out the door, pouch full of raw, a outlaw mentality
Men gotta do men things for men salary
Bad Boy, not Puff or Mike Lowery, damn B.I.G. woulda been proud of me
Ahh ? man...
Young Hova ya heard?
Who could ? wit him?

Nas - Come and Get Me:
(2nd Verse)

You don't like me clown? Now you wanna take me down?
If I bring my face around, you gon' do what? You butt
Your crew knew I blew up, I been shinin - baseball diamonds
? rings for your chicklings
? know what my nine pearl handle's about
? you say girlie mouth? Get it krunk like the ? South
And I know you see me flossed out, multi-milli-i
Hear your ? talk about me, you give her the cold eye?
Girls dig you, imagine what she feel for me?
You make hot songs, but she know you steal from me
Who ill as me? I wild on haters in album three
Next level - I take y'all ? to 3-D
Can't find a ? shook from Queens
I'll be with the most grimy killers
(what ? ) and they all look clean
who put bombs underneath cars, if you want beef then start
Your next stop is to the graveyard

S.N: I still don't understand the hate on this album. smh

Jay-Z 1st verse "No Hook"

"Poor me, dad was gone, finally got my dad back
Liver bad he wouldn't live long, they snatched my dad back
Guidance I never had that, streets was my second home
Welcomed me with open arms provided a place to crash at
A place to study math at, matter fact I learned it all
Burnt it all this music is where I bury the ashes at
Flash back not having much, not having that
Had to get some hollerest you can holla back at
Holla that my Jewish lawyer do enjoy the fruit of within my cash stack
Just in case a ? got to use his rat-ta-ta-ta-tat
Own boss own your, masters, slave
The mentality I carry with me to this very day
? rich let's get wealthy who else gonna feed we
If I need it I'm gonna get it however ? help me"

dayum that's tough here's one though

Pharoahe Monch- oh no

Very contagious raps should be trapped in cages
Through stages of wackness, Pharoahe's raps are blazin
And it amazes - me how you claim thug
but go two-ways without SkyTel pagers
I'm intellectual, pass more essays/ese's
than motorcade police parades through East L.A.
More beef then deli's, thus what I vent is just
What you ? to vent is irrele'
Huh, hallelujah, Pharoahe Monch'll do ya
Maintain the same frame of mind - screw ya!
Get the picture, sit ya, seat ya, preacher with scriptures
I'm equipped to rip ya, reach ya
Pharoahe and Mos is verbal osmosis
Coast to coast, we boast to be the most explosive here
Ferocious, the lyrical prognosis
The dosage is leavin you mentally unfocused here
MC's just - come on 'round
You're the next contestants on "Catch-A-Beat-Down"
Don't be hesitant, sound cracks the sediment
It's evident we medicine for your whole town
Sky's the limit, game's infinite when I'm in it
All windows is tinted, how you seein me when I'm in it?
Rap, we got it on lock man, stop that
Put that mic back down, boy, drop that
Pharoahe's flows blows shows like afros
We hate y'all though, that's why Nate Dogg goes:
