***Best Rap Verse of All Time: Nominations***

[b33nz]

lil jon in every song:
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

[bdaddy]

Charli 2na(Jurassic 5) from "lausd"

Yo, don't get caught up in glamor and glitz and camera tricks
The Land of the Dead, before you come examine your set
Where drama collects and women use special effects
Where amateur stunts can make a nigga damage your fronts

The city of angel's wings represents people's hopes and dreams
And the evil that men do that live life close to kings
And boast supreme, fancy cars, coats, and cream
Material things provoke more folks to scheme
Whether you paid your cost, Cali green made your call
The smog covers the city like a table cloth
Is it fame at fault? Entertainers labeled soft
The place where people come to lose their train of thought

*the rest of the verses from this track are good too, but these stood out

Also Method Man and Redman in D'Angelo's "Left and Right"

[Redman]
Yo, yo
My flows remarkable
Doc walk like Kane from Kung Fu round the globe
Throw obstacles I'll hurdle them
Herb and whack MC's, drum racks
To the rims to the caps
Yo Meth, Tical, and D
I'm ASAP, I'm crack a don chicken hunting at KFC
In '83 I was that scrub TLC talking 'bout
Now I rock the house
Chalk 'em out

[Method Man]
Yeah no doubt who gots the biggest ass in the house
Young miss fillet-a-fish
Salt water trout, pretty young thing
Got a tongue ring and dirty mouth
And she whispering them sweet nothings
I hear it out
Baby you got me like Joni had Cha Chi
Until she got high and went and [censored] Potsi
Lady Godiva
From day one a dick rider
Liar, liar set your pussy on fire

[Redman](Method Man)
Yo Doc be off the wall
We keep a Marly cheap
Pulling a Harley deep with a jar of grease
Come 1-5-1, straight endo, the spot
I [censored] brown sugar behind the fiber glass window
Its Doc not guns don't sling weight
The only thing I sling is condoms for spring break
([censored] 'em) How we do it?
(Leave 'em) How we do it?
(Get the money) The pussy
(The weed) Now do it

[Method Man](Redman)
Now take your coat off and stay a while
Now honey child if you're gon' be acting funny style
Then I don't need ya
It's Saturday, this night fever
[censored] is popping, Acheeva my mouth cotton
Tis the season for draws dropping
And heavy breathing
You ain't skeezin' you dick teasin'
I'm leavin'
Acting rotten, I got no time for games
I'm no joke
Drop that ass when I'm finished
And watch it smoke

[bdaddy]

and dis one too.....Lyrics Born "Balcony Beach"

I think it's called bein' a man in the making / It's burnt, I like
pralines now / Long walks solo, where I can sort my thoughts out / Just
what I've been taught to date / It doesn't gel well with the way that I've
been feeling these days / That's coming from a ton of angles, hella places
/ I'm really not trying to make a political statement / But just in terms
of internally inside/ I'm at an interval in life where it's a turbulent
time / And I could pretend that it's all good / And that I shouldn't put so
much on it / Let it sit and just settle itself / Stop acting all sobby and
sentimental / Besides everything's perfectly fine / But here I am on this
balcony / With my thoughts just traveling randomly on some tangent
And in the back of my mind / I keep hearing this lady / Her voice is
beautiful, she keeps saying / Mooo baby / We can make it happen/ Make it
through baby / All we need to do is begin rejuvenating / Keep it all in
focus and pursue it faithfully / Do it patiently

[LegendofLink]

note: the vast majority of what eminem has written could easily be nominated.

The verse in "Hellbound" is ridiculous, i was gonna post that.....although em has a lot more explosive tracks, i like the flow on the following and its lyrical content:

Eminem- 313:

So what, you know about a sweet MC, in the 313
You don't know [censored] so when you see one flee
You can be Run-D, you'll never beat the MC
I'll stop the alphabet at S and got it down to a T
I'm sure your bound to agree, a sweet MC crashes the spot
I'll make the roof hot like I was Rock Master Scott
Your ass forgot, so just in case you don't remember me
I'll run your brain around the block to jog your [censored] memory
It's either them or me man, kill or be killed
You will and be sealed your casket closed you still gonna be billed
My facilities filled with fans, packed to capacity
I'll send a rapper back with the crack of his ass [censored]
If he's acting soft and he cowers
He better come cleaner then Jay Rue jacking off when he showers
You flowers got no clout with a thing
You could date a stick of dynamite and wouldn't go out with a bang
I showered the slang, simple as A,B,C's
Skip over the D's and rock the microphone with E's
Dethrone MC's and I'ma max alone
Relax your dome like a solo from a saxophone
So facts are known, writers get treated with shocks
I rock a beat harder then you could beat it with rocks
I'm greeted with flocks, of fellow follower's singers
You couldn't make the fans throw up their hands if they swallowed their
fingers
But you can bring yours let's see what you got
But don't front and never try to be what you're not
Cause you can be quick, jump the candlestick, burn your back
And [censored] Jill on a hill, but you still ain't Jack

When I was dead broke, man I couldn't picture this
50 inch screen, money green leather sofa
Got two rides, a limousine with a chauffeur
Phone bill about two G's flat
No need to worry, my accountant handles that
And my whole crew is loungin'
Celebratin' every day, no more public housin'
Thinkin' back on my one-room shack
Now my mom pimps a Ac' with minks on her back
And she loves to show me off, of course
Smiles every time my face is up in The Source
We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us
No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us
Birthdays was the worst days
Now we sip champagne when we thirst-ay
Uh, damn right I like the life I live
'Cause I went from negative to positive
And it's all...

(It's all good)

this is the verse i thought of right away

[FoxwoodsFiend]

[ QUOTE ]
Ghostface on Tony/Montana (from Cormega's Legal Hustle Vol 1). You really need to hear it to really appreciate it.

play hard for nine innings dressed in fine linen
Cause pussy is the best next thing besides women
All the position ive been in couldn't explain how I'm living
My vision my intuition has risen
Here take a listen I'm hitting
Up to bat with precision
Sealing bags in the kitchen
Slinging crack to these pigeons
For the fact that I'm driven
My linebackers is missing
Send you back and good rides
Trapped in this mission where snakes and rats is forbidden
Keep my gun hidden niggaz is bitches signing petitions
And they providing convictions
See I survive through the system under the livest conditions
My riders ride on a mission for snitching
You get your back blown right out of commission
Youll be missing like them crazy
Christians and swimming with all the fishes
Your misses will come and visit your body with hugs and kisses
Now tell me is that nutritious we party with chips and liquors
Your wisses is coming with us for real kid they bought me presents
The difference is this is business big biscuits big figures
We click on religious niggaz for acting too superstitious
Move cause the group is viscous
Shoot if you want your wishes to blow
See trife in the Bentley with a group of bitches

[/ QUOTE ]

This is such an amaazing verse, it boggles the mind. I flip/flop between this and the AZ verse from Life's A bitch all the time, but really this one is near-perfect

[Sponger.]

Well step aside my friend
I been doing it for years
I say, sit on down, open your eyes
And open up your ears
Say, put a tree in your butt
Put a, a bumblebee in your butt
Put a clock in your butt
Put a big rock in your butt
Say, put some fleas in your butt
Say, start to sneeze in your butt
Say, put a tin can in your butt
Put a little tiny man in your butt
Say, put a light in your butt
Say, make it bright in your butt
Say, put a TV in your butt
Say, put me in your butt
Everybody say


"Boogie in your butt"
-Eddie Murphy

A lot of great ones already posted.

Sole - Priziest Horse

I'm not the priziest horse or the classiest fighter

with shattered glass in my voice

writing my name on the wall with the fingers my highschool gave me; I'm still

counting electric sheep at night, in love with an electric blanket

in fact I make love with electric outlets

In my sleep, it's all flying pigs and things that want me dead;

when I'm awake, it isn't much different. It's not them versus us

the battle wages over future addictions

Something's missing, and I can't quite focus on it

Oh, it must be the disappearing act we all put with our dreams

They'll never find me as long as I keep smudging off into the background

And continue to sink through the sidewalk with my head under a bench, to see

who hears me, narrating their lives by the way they hold their money so tight

so they could send their kids off, but the best historians sleep on benches

(Why is everybody sleeping on benches?)

I've been a rock as long as I've lived

since everything has to be a nobel prize winner

I should've quit when I saved the ozone

I should have known if I can't feel the ones I came with, it's a good time to rest

and hold fear at bay like some hold the margins they need to survive in

Barely alive, and you want me to lighten up?

Make an angel on the beach or pick a boquet in your garden

Call me when they drop redemption upon you like a piano

record the noise it makes when it flattens your hands

Then you realize it was only a dream and you were tied to a tree the whole time

watching friends drag by 'cause they can't look at the scars under your eyes

Burned to hell covered by locusts, they're trying to quote us

now that they finally broke us into ridiculous names and meaningless titles

I won't forget, the little things escape

through the pores in my skin so I can pour it on thick

And watch them scurry to escape the glass, leave the collection

and have a life of their own, well get rich you'll hate it too..

I promise..



[Chorus]

In this life all I have, a falling sky in my arms

it's not that heavy, make pretend

it's someone else's party, what a gas



Shaking the hands that never trembles and always land on my feet

At this present elevation, I can't see past my feet

between God's bald spots where the sky stops

I'm one of the Earth's latest gallstones

despite all the America going on, it's all Rome

Go get unstuck, don't lose sleep 'til you cant find solace

in the fact that you can barely control yourself. Let alone

we're all tied down; since our wings got clipped, and lately can't sing enough

In the party that never ends, 'cause no one knows how to clean up the mess

What's up with all the gags?

Everyone around me has these holes drilled through 'em

and someone on the other side is trying to figure it out. Dying to be someone

killing to be recognized as something that you're not

Well since we're all so into introductions, don't forget your names

Since you love yourself so much, keep it away from me

'Cause I've baked under artificial lights with artificial girls

and that sinking feeling there's someone sleeping inside my sleepless body

Quit playing kid games with your old tongue

'til you can find someone to buy future epiphanies from. Here's one:

I live in the city and leave everything alone, yesterday it was all TV

After all is said and done, we barely have memories

so I write what I feel, sue me if it's empty

Imagine that, I'm barely human, I'm barely human..



[Chorus]

In this life all I have, a falling sky in my arms

it's not that heavy, make pretend

it's someone else's party, what a gas

Canibus's verse from Boyz 2 Men

[Canibus]
Yo A+, uff the nonsense
I got the reinforcements
To crush any enemies offense with a hundred thousand Horsemen
The hardest muthafucka on the market right here
I'll complete in a minute what would take you a light year
Extra-terrestrial biological entities with infinite energy
battling for world supremecy
Who wanna get touched
The CAN-I-BUS will crush you
With hard jigsaw puzzles and strong jaw muscles
Ambushin emcees jumpin out the trees
like Vietnamese in fatigues covered with leaves
Interrogatin you wack emcees like MIB's with dark glasses
Askin you to tell me exactly where that alien craft landed
By flashing bright light in your eyes with those silver cameras
So when you revive you cant recall or understand it
Thats how the Canibus keeps tabs on the planet
I use amnesia to neutralize public panic
and take advantage of opportunities to do damage
I pierce your heart with evil thoughts
The only thing faster then tha speed of light is the speed of dark
With the jaws of a great white shark I rip you apart
My state-of-the art lyrical lasers is razor sharp
Splatter the brain matter of my enemies
with the same bullet trajectory that murdered John Kennedy
in the back of his cranial cavity which is actually
what happens to any mother uffer for tryin to battle me

Or his verse on Beasts From the East, which was the main reason his first CD was so anticipated.

Here, let me turn this [censored] up right now

I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Eminem, easily one of the best rap 'lyric' writers ever.

Shake That Ass

[/ QUOTE ]

I started to agree with you, because Eminem NAILS some of his [censored] so perfectly. Then you picked "Shake That Ass" as your example, and I wanted to punch myself in the balls.

Wait. No. I wanted to punch you in YOUR balls. Yeah, that was it.

[/ QUOTE ]

LMAO, how can you like Eminem, but not like Shake That Ass?

I'm curious

[/ QUOTE ]

Because is not any good as is the majority of the stuff on eminem's last several albums.
