If you ignore who wrote it (to be clear; that it is ghostwritten, not WHO) ...Lil Kim's verse on Benjamins is THE goat woman's 16 in rap history

Fair enough, if the math was correct then I'm with you but when you're talking about GOAT verses you have to split hairs between the contenders and the math being off is a big enough reason for me to disqualify it from the running.
The math isn't really off though. She says a number but calculated it based on the real number

I'm torn on Lil Kim.

Just listening to her body of work, Kim is definitely top tier female rapper. She's got a better discog than most rappers. She's easily top 50 all time.

I am a lifelong rap hobbyist. I don't consider the person who says somebody else's words as a real MC. I'm not super strict to where I wouldnt use a suggestion from a friend or even flip a famous rhyme scheme (with a unique twist, not just copy it) here and there.

I'm talking. "Heres the verse. Here's the reference track. Keep practicing until you can recite it" That's not an MC to me. Like Dre and Diddy. They rap plenty but if they say something dope, they get no credit. I try to figure out who's pen that came out of.

In summary. Kim is dope enough that I give her a pass for using ghosts..? I guess?

I do not think any real goat mc has really bodied the feature yet. Which is why females need to become emcees and not Pixar level rnb chicks.

Fox didn't write it plus the fact the math is off always disqualifies it for me.
how is the math off??

We got to flee to Panama, but wait it's half and half
Keys is one and two-fifth, so how we flip
Thirty-two grams raw, chop it in half, get sixteen, double it times three
We got forty-eight, which mean a whole lot of cream
Divide the profit by four, subtract it by eight
We back to sixteen, now add the other two that 'Mega bringing through
So let's see, if we flip this other key
Then that's more for me, mad coke and mad leak
Plus a five hundred, cut in half is two-fifty
Now triple that times three, we got three quarters of another key

Both times here.

1. Double 16 = 32

32 x 3 = 96 not 48

The math in the end on that still works out so they got lucky there

96 ÷ 4= 24


24 - 8 = 16

Had you actually did the math based on what was said you'd end up with

48 ÷ 4 = 12

12 - 8 = 4

So yes, that lyric is all fucced up

2. All jay (:lolbron:) had to say was times that by three and the lyric is fine, but since he said triple that times three

Triple 250,000 = 750,000

750,000 x 3 = 2,250,000


It's not hard math ffs :pachaha:

The 718
Mecca Star's verse, the 3rd one on Bahamadia '3 the hard way' is the hardest one to me.




And Shout out Latifah's last verse on 'Latifah had up to here'

But that was so blatantly written by Jeru The Damaja it might as well have been him with a voice filter lol
