Let's pay homage to Melle Mel's verse on Beat Street Breakdown

[Flav]

I been telling people off that second verse on Beat Street alone makes Melle Mel top 5. All these years later and no rapper put out a better verse yet!

I'm 25. I just heard that verse for the first time.

Now i understand why they say hip hop used to be better before. Jesus christ.

Not only that...you must have a classic. One 5 mic album and two 3 mics will outweigh three 4 mics for example. Those are the rules.

Yes. Find a better verse from any rapper and post it. I been on this board saying Beat Street second verse is the greatest verse of all time.

Me putting Melle Mel top 5 is just my opinion. I completely understand if people don’t agree and go by the you gotta have a whole solo album rule so sometimes I don’t even name him.

[Wear My Dawg's Hat]

Profound expressions by Mel that once made emceeing so impactful to so many.
