What’s the verse/feature/song that made an artist click for you?

[TL15]

Nipsey on Drake Killer

 

[Ashtrey]

DMX on this. It was before 4321 or 24 Hours to Live. I was amazed at his voice/delivery.

 

[Duke Dixon]

Young Thug - Hercules
Big Sean's feature on Burn
2 Chainz the whole T.R.U. REALigion mixtape

Didn't understand the Future hype until this



became a huge fan after it.

For me it was the second verse on Monster.


EDIT:

Ace Hood - Trials & Tribulations

I read something where The Rock talked about listening to Meek Mill and Ace Hood when he works out, and I was like the Bugatti dude Then I played his newest album in the gym and I was like dude really is rapping here.

For me, Missy Elliott was just there. She had a bunch of features and writing credits prior to "The Rain", but nothing clicked until that song dropped. I didn't realize that she was a part of songs that I liked as a featured artist, writer, or producer because I didn't care until that song. This was before the video dropped. It was the first time listening to a song, enjoying it, but still asking "what is this?" I sat in the car June 1997 mind boggled by what I heard.

I hadn't heard Live at The BBQ before this. But this made me cognizant of the GOAT Nasir.

 

[letti cook]

still remember the first time I heard Cmurder on this...bought his album the next day

 

[Mac Ten]

1. Cormega’s verse on Affirmative Action made me check for The Realness and his solo albums.


I think Mega’s catalog was better than Nature’s


Nature may have had the better punchlines but Mega had the better album.

 

[I'm Blackman]

Wasnt a fan of his beanie man single. Heard this and I was a fan.

 

[Low End Derrick]

Realized Danny was that guy after this

 

[avon barksdale]

This is what got me on to game

 

[JMD]

Kurupt on Puffin On Blunts

 

[Duke Dixon]

King Los. The whole Bent Arm scheme scheme Only saw him do the Sway Freestyle back then, and he had the song War out. Was told to listen to this tape and when I got to that part I was like

 

[boskey]

Cam'ron's first verse on Yayo Man made me a die hard fan. I liked his music before that but this song infected my brain lol

Hung 90 karots, Killa, yes I flip that white puddin,
But I swear I wish I met Dwight Gooden,
To show em that my pitch is better,
Bring Strawberry dog I be rich forever,
shyt, Them two nikkas coppin bricks or better,
Hit the cellular, How you want it? Whipped or regular,
And tell your white girls about my white world,
shyt, I'm a part of the reason why it's a white world

 

[New Jeruzalem Journalist]

AG on “Speak Ya Peace” by Lord Finesse

Killah Priest on “Brilliantaire”

Killa Sin on “Fair, Love & War”

Roc Marciano on “Emeralds”

Nas on “It Ain’t Hard to Tell”

Louisville Slugga on “Danjer”

Daz Dillinger on “Doggy Dogg World” by Snoop

Interesting choice.


Wish him and D.O. did more of the back and forth approach that they did on there. They worked well together without Starang having to do all the heavy lifting on most tracks.

 

[SilverSamurai]

I was sleeping on Jay Rock until I heard his verse on the Black Lip b*stard Remix
