Has there ever been a rapper better at setting off verses than Prodigy?

[FunkDoc1112]

When you think about it, so many of Prodigy's most iconic lines were the very first bars of a song. Dude just knew how to grab your attention immediately.

"I got you stuck off the realness..."
"There's a war going on outside..."
"Queens get the money, long time no cash..."
"I break bread, ribs, hundred dollar bills..."
"I put my lifetime between the paper's lines..."

Deck.

But I always loved the way P coasted into his verse on "Right Back At You"



"yea yea check it out now...run for ya life..."

Biggie

“It was all a dream”

“Who shot ya! separate the weak from the obsolete

“Who the fukk is this?? paging me at 5:46 in the morning

Redman, B.I.G., Ice Cube, Jay-Z, Scarface, Jadakiss, etc.

 

[Metal Face]

No

 

[Sean7]

As said for the WU Deck used to set it off on the solos or group albums going first....
Prodigy was always killing that FIRST VERSE on those songs! Most of them you remember line for line when the beat kicks in and P starts rapping, straight classic verses especially on the Infamous and HOE (Obviously Murda Muzik too).

 

[DrexlersFade]

No

This is the correct answer

Has there ever been a rapper better at setting off verses than Prodigy?​

His career stalled and got derailed, but early in his career it was " the rapper with half ass rhymes about how much weed he smoked, and all that space shyt that don't even make sense"
