Greatest Rap Verses Ever

[Burke]

I nominate Inspectah Deck at the beginning of Triumph by Wu-Tang Clan.

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

I love that so much. It's why I'll never give up on Nicki even if I don't like most of her recent stuff. I know she's capable of stuff like that.

LL Cool J took offence to a harmless line here ("L, let me borrow that mic on your arm" - referencing the microphone tattoo on LL's arm) and was so scared that this verse was better than his that he made Canibus re-record it and then used his own verse to throw shots at him.



And then they spent a year releasing diss songs against each other. Rappers can be such babies.
