Nas 3rd on 'Doorags' or 2nd on 'If I Ruled the World'

Rakim 1st on 'Follow the Leader'

Prince EA's last verse on "The Brain" (Lol, I know he's not popular or whatever, a former Youtube rapper turned motivational speaker, but it's genuinely honestly one of my favorite verses ever)




Honorable Mentions:
Ras 1st on 'Nature of the Threat'
Jayz verse on "The Watcher 2"
P's verse on "Where Ya Heart At"

1) Boots Riley's 2nd verse on "Me and Jesus the Pimp". Never heard a better written storytelling verse than that
2) GZA's verse on "I Gotcha Back"
3) Scarface's 1st verse on "Now I Feel Ya"

I could probably list 200 different verses off the top of my head that are top 3 worthy (and probably another 1000 if I really thought about it), so take it with a grain of salt and I’ll say this…

Prodigy first verse on Quiet Storm
Nas on Verbal Intercourse
Pun verse first on Dream Shatterer

No lie, all three of these verses came to mind. Not sure they're my picks but they're definitely up there. Also GZA on Duel of the Iron Mic came to mind. "Yo, picture bloodbaths in elevator shafts..." :wow:
