Juve on #1 Stunna. He wasnt even keeping with the concept


Although the biggest goes to Birdman when he goes "I like to fukk 'em in the ass while he beat up the p*ssy"

 

[hotbeezie]

I know H-Town gonna neg me but Fat Pat verse was wack

[AV Dicey]

I GOT KEYS



COMIN FROM OVERSEAS

anybody who reps the 96 impala ss is good in my book chief.
50 stans are loath to admit but every other verse on his classics was like the 2015 cavs in the 4th quarter. Deep down we knew his reign would be short like leprechauns

 

[intilectual recipricol]

I respectfully disagree. Nas spat fire on there.

bruh, no one even lets the track get to the third verse... After Luda its on to the next 1

Twista on Slow Jamz

[Beer Drinker]

Good thread idea


Nore on Banned from tv

GREAT verse by his standards but he aint fukkin with the rest of em

At least he goes last though. So you either go back to the beginning or on to the next track. Ain't heard his verse in 10 years.

Jay and the beat ain't agreeing on shyt

[Soundwave]

I don't know if anyone considers Pimp Hard from My Homies 2 a classic song, but Petey Pablo just kind of fell asleep on his verse

Bruh,

Fat Pat had the best verse...I thought it was universal that everyone understood fat pat had the best verse

...

There was a thread on Smoking Section back in the day and someone dropped this knowledge that I had to snag.

Cappadonna Theory: A method of verse placement, in which an artist (usually the tracks owner) takes the weakest/whackest verse that has the greatest potential to damage the quality of the song, and places the loser in slot 3. Thus giving the track a great beginning and great/good ending.

Backstory for C Theory: As for the theory, during Ghost’s press rounds for “Fishscale” he had a listening session where he explained how he (and maybe other rappers) arrange the verses on a posse cut. He had track with Cappa (actually 2 tracks, but I think he was referring to “jellyfish”) and the verse was pretty bad. Cappa was off-flow as fukk. Ghost explained that sometimes you can’t just do ya mans dirty and cut his verse, instead, you try to hide the shytty verse in the middle. So on “jellyfish” he just threw Cappa’s shyt on the third verse: you get a dope one to start, a crap verse, then a decent one to close it out. I think Ghost also said some shyt about the 3rd verse of any posse song usually having the weakest verse.

So I started calling it the Cappadonna Theory. Every time I hear a posse cut, I pay close attention to the 3rd verse.

It doesn't work all the time, I've noticed on some tracks the worse verse is second (especially on tracks with three artists) but this is pretty damn accurate.
