You can't base a GOAT career on verses. You have to prove that you're able to produce something called an album. That's an individual effort 3k never made. You can't be labelled superior to someone when you didn't face the same difficulty he had to deal with.

It's not an argument of career though. It's more about favorites. That's why the solo album argument isn't relevant.

show me a Nas verse better than this one



You know how sometimes you got so much to say but
They on- they only give you 16, heh..
Man it's like.. I mean, I got so much to say

The world has said so much to me, and I just wanna give right back to 'em
But... I only get 16, that's like a cage, you know

I really can't say what I wanna say, you know it's just a glimpse
That's all, just one uh, one little single glimpse
Just a page

But I guess I'm defeating the purpose of doing all this talking

Summer '88, or was it '89
Or was it winter-time, ah, nevermind

I'm in my room, booming
Drawin' LL Cool J album covers with Crayolas on construction paper

I'm trying to fukk my neighbor, I'm tryna hook my waves up
I'm tryna pull my grades up, to get them saddle lace ups
Before lil' Marc was Jacob, before them girls wore makeup
Before my voice would break up, before we'd tour them shake clubs
Before my mama wake up, before my crumbs would cake up
Before they tell me they love me and we'll never break up
Before the time she makes love to someone that I thought was my homeboy
But boy, was I wrong, now
I don't budge, don't want much, just a roof and a porch
And a Porsche, and a horse and unfortunately
But of course an assortment of torches that scorches the skin, when they enter
Intruders, whose tutors did a lousy job

How's he God if he lets Lucifer let loose on us?
That noose on us won't loosen up, but loose enough to juice us up
Make us think we do so much and do it big
Like they don't let us win, I can't pretend
But I do admit, it feel good when the hood pseudo-celebrate

Hence, why every time we dine we eat until our belly aches
Then go grab the finest wine and drink it
Like we know which grape and which region it came from

As if we can name 'em, hint hint, it ain't, um, Welch's
Hell just fell three thousand more degrees cooler
Ya'll can't measure my worth
But when you try, you'll need a ruler made by all the Greek gods

Because the odds have always been stacked against me when back's against the wall
I feel right at home, y'all sitting right at home
All Kelly green with envy
while I'm jelly beans descending
Into the palm of a child, looks up at mama and smile
With such a devilish grin, like "where the hell have you been"

She yelling that selling’s a sin, well so is telling young men
That selling is a sin, if you don’t offer new ways to win

A dolphin gon shake his fin, regardless if he gets in
Or out of water, most important thing for him is to swim
And Flipper didn’t hold his nose, so why shall I hold my tongue?

(I miss the days of old when one could hold his gal on his arm)
And not set off these alarms, when camera’s snap snap snap snap
Return fire, pa-pa-pa, pa, pa-pa, pa, pa, pa
They’ll learn why, mere privacy, so essential
They won't make no laws,
I break their laws til they see out our window
I take the fall to make them all treat human kind more gentle
Forsake them all, I hate them all, don’t like em, don’t pretend to
Yeah something tells me we ain’t in Kansas anymore
All that shyt that used to be cool ain’t cool anymore
All the women we were pursuing, now they want more
And they deserve it all, don’t settle for what ain’t yours



Yeah, that's nice
Now let me see you do the same thing twice
Three times, four times, then been a couple of more times
Please your amateur night is show time

--- Nas
