Talib's Top 25 Verses

[mr. smoke weed]

that shyt always makes me laugh. As though it's not obvious Biggie slaughtered them on their own shyt.

but now Bone stans are gonna say Kweli's got "NY Bias"

Biggie got ripped on Notorious Thugs, lyrically and flow wise. Although, like with anything else it comes down to preference. That's a tight list.

 

[Asicz]

Can't argue with anything on that list.
Except I'm not sure why "Nas Verbal Intercourse" verse from Only Built 4 Cuban Linx was omitted.

 

[pointproven214]

no pac verse or ras kass redman or gza or kiss can't really respect this list.

 

[mobbinfms]

Amazing list. I'm sure if I ever tried to do a top 25 of my own, I'd have some different picks, but this list really captures what an amazing verse is. It also really highlights how bizzaro some opinions you see on the Coli are. Like I'm sure people are mad right now that there isn't a Project Pat verse on the list.

 

[Take It In Blood]

its missing some NBA Youngboy

 

[bordeaux]

excellent.


...mos over com on respiration?

I would have Lupe FIasco's verse on Tranquillo in my top verse list. It's my personal favorite
