What are a few of the best verses in hip hop history?

My Personal favorite will always be the opening line in, I ain't tha 1.

You do not know how many times I have said, "I ain't tha one to get played like a pooh butt" in everyday conversation.

    1. Canibus – Beast from the East Remix (1997) I been in lyrical fitness/The Canibus is spitin till’

    forget this/I’m puttin’ every wack emcee alive on

    my **** list

    you a minute, to exhibit that i’m sick wit it/Now you tell me who you think is damaging ****/

    Going once, going twice Sold to that ***** name

    2. Nas – Verbal Intercourse: (1995) (starts

    @ :30 seconds) “Through the lights cameras and action, glamor

    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”

    3. A.Z.- Life’s A ***** (1994) We were beginners in the hood as 5 per-centers

    But something must of got in us cause all of us

    turned to sinners/Now some resting in peace and

    some are sitting in San Quentin

    Others such as myself are trying to carry on

    tradition/Keeping the effervescent street ghetto essence inside us/Cause it provides us with the

    proper insight to guide us

    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

    5: Rakim “Follow the Leader” (1st verse) Music mixed mellow maintains to make/Melodies

    for MC’s motivates the breaks /I’m everlastin, I

    can go on for days and days /With rhyme

    displays that engrave deep as X-rays /I can take a

    phrase that’s rarely heard, FLIP IT /Now it’s a

    daily word

    6 Biggie’ “Victory” 1997 (Off ‘Puffy’s No Way

    Out’) Starts @ :52 mark) 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

    7 Cappadonna “Winter Warz” 1996 (Off

    Ghostface’ Ironman Album) verse starts @2:29

    mark You heard of the rasp before but kept waitin/for

    the sun of song, I keep dancehalls strong/Beats

    never worthy of my cause, I prolong/

    Extravaganza, time sits still/No propaganda, be

    wary of the skill

    As I bring forth the music, make love to your eardrum/Dedicated to rap ***** beware of the

    fearsome/Lebanon Don, Malcolm X beat threat/CD

    massacre, murder to cassette/ I blow the shop

    up, you ain’t seen nuttin yet

    8. Eminem’s Verse off “Renegade” 2001 (feat

    Jay Z) But if it don’t, then ya’ll swallow the truth grin

    and bear it/Now who’s the king of these rude

    ludicrous lucrative lyrics/Who could inherit the

    title, put the youth in hysterics

    Using his music to steer it sharing his views in

    his marriage/ But there’s a huge interference they’re sayin you shouldn’t hear it/ Maybe it’s

    hatred I spew, maybe it’s food for the spirit /

    Maybe it’s beautiful music I made for you to just

    cherish

    9. Redman “The Headbanger” 1992 (off EPMD’s

    “Never Personal” Album) (Starts @ 3:09 mark) Yes the redman that’s what they call me/Wicked

    with the style you think I have cerebral palsy

    Like aaieeahaaa, cause I freak the styles crazy/

    Lullaby your stupid ***, rockabye baby/ The

    funkadelic devil hit your *** with a level from the

    new school /And still holdin my jewels!

    Honorable mention:Black Thought: The Roots “Web” 1st Verse Best Lines: Talk sharp like a razor blade under the tongue/Clear my

    path and come get your captain

    hung/Trying to breath like Black’ll

    collapse your lungs/Young chump

    you could choke off the web I

    spun/I done cleared ‘em out from the thread I brung. Black Thought has the knack for

    crafting classic songs that don’t

    rely on catchy hooks (which would

    later be recognized on “Don’t Say

    Nuthin”). Never coming up for air,

    his first verse on “Web” remains a benchmark for aggressive

    deliveries.
