✰ Who Had The Best Verse ? Vol 6 ✰ (Eye For An Eye)

YoungGoldie

Vol 5 was a landslide.... Me and my niggas debate on who had the best verse on this all the time, so this should be close..

AZTG

Prodigy

I have to go with prodigy on this one even though most will go with nas. I just thought Ps verse flow and energy as a hole was crazy.

I would saw after P, its nas, Rae, and havoc

vslyke

Nas

Nas
P
Rae
Hav

This whole track is a classic, and Nas and P killed that shit. Nas dropped one of his best verses ever:

"A drug dealer's dream
Stash CREAM keys on a triple beam
Five hundred SL green, ninety-five nickle gleam
Condominium, thug dressed like a gentleman
Tailor made ostrich, Chanel for my women friend
Murdering, numbers on your head while I'm burglaring
Shank is serving 'em, what's up to all my niggas swerving in
New York metropolis, the Bridge brings apocalypse
Shoot at the clouds feels like, the holy beast is watching us
Mad man my sanity is going like an hourglass
Gun inside my bad hand I sliced trying to bag grams
I got hoes that used to milk you, niggas who could've killed you
Is down with my ill crew of psychos
Nas Escobar moving on your weak production
Pumping corruption in the third world we just busting"

ohhhla

Nas

Nas for the potent lyricism
Rae for the flow

Cigarello Slim

Nas

Had to go with Nas, love the way that verse starts off...

"A drug dealer's dream stash cream keys on a triple beam five hundred SL green, ninety-five nickle gleam"

I like this thread series you have going homie, dope tracks.

The Lonious Monk

Raekwon The Chef

This is hard to call really. I picked Rae because of his flow, but there really isn't a wrong answer.

To me this song is pretty much the definition of mid 90s NYC rap though.

lion_heart

Nas

Gun inside my bad hand I sliced trying to bag grams

AZTG

Prodigy

Havoc not gonna get a single vote.

its....JOHN B

Nas

Nas was killin everything in that time frame

Nah Son

Nas

And it aint even close

That verse was perfect....Soon as son came in you knew he was on some other shit. The way he flows on that shit blows my mind every time

The Mobb gets the skip treatment on they own shit tbh

YoungGoldie

Nas

Damn, another landslide. I thought the voting would be closer... smh

O.G.VETERAN

Nas

great song

nas
p
raekwon
havoc
in that order for me.

I don't know why people don't just do this from the beginning of threads like this.

Artist: Mobb Deep f/ Nas, Raekwon
Album: The Infamous
Song: Eye for an Eye (Your Beef is Mines)
Typed by: OHHLA Webmaster DJ Flash

Chorus:

As time goes by, an eye for an eye
We in this together son your beef is mines
So long as the sun shines to light up the sky
We in this together son your beef is mines

Chorus

Verse One: Prodigy

Let me start from the beginning, at the top of the list
KnowhatI'mean? Have a situation like this
Another war story from a thirsty young hustler
Won't trust ya, I'd rather bust ya, and leave your corpse
for the cops to discover, while I be dippin in the Range Rover
All jewelled like Liberace
You watch me while Jakes tryin to knock me and lock me
But I'll be on the low sippin Asti Spumante
Niggaz try to creep on the side of my jeep
Stuck the heat through the window rocked they ass to sleep
Over a 3-pack, it was a small thing really yeah
but keep lettin them small things slide and be a failure
If I'm out of town one of my crew'll take care of ya
The world is ours and your team's inferior
You wanna bust caps I get, all up in your area
Kidnap your children make the situation scarier
Life is a gamble, we scramble for money
I might crack a smile but ain't a damn thing funny
I'm caught up in the dirt where your hands get muddy
Plus the outcome turns out to be lovely
Got G's in my pocket hit off my main squeeze
Push back, the sunroof, let the cold air breeze
through the butter soft leather upholestry
But mostly, keep the gat closely, cuz niggaz wanna toast me

Verse Two: Havoc

Yo I gotta get mines, no matter what the con-sequences
Count up my blessings, add up my weapons
Cock back the gat and let my nine serve purpose
Sling do my thing organize fiend servants
Tryin to make a mil is stress you know the deal
So we sling drills get your cap peeled, cuz everything is real
cuz I wanna chill, laid up in a jacuzzi
Sippin bubbly, with my fingers on the uzi
Try to infiltrate my fort get caught
dead up in New York, my brain is packed with criminal thoughts
Get your life lost never found again my friend
Mission completed, watch you drop in less than ten
On my road to the riches, hittin snitches off with mad stitches
Your last restin place'll be a ditch kid
No one can stop me try your style's sloppy
Want to be me, you're just an imitation copy
My theme is all about making the green
Livin up in luxury, pushin phat whips and livin comfortably

Chorus

Verse Three: Nas

A drug dealer's dream
Stash CREAM keys on a triple beam
Five hundred SL green, ninety-five nickle gleam
Condominium, thug dressed like a gentleman
Tailor made ostrich, Chanel for my women friend
Murderin, numbers on your head while I'm burglarin
Shank is servin em, whassup to all my niggaz swervin in
New York metropolis, the Bridge brings apocalypse
Shoot at the clouds feels like, the holy beast is watchin us
Mad man my sanity is goin like an hourglass
Gun inside my bad hand I sliced tryin to bag grams
I got hoes that used to milk you
Niggaz who could've killed you
Is down with my ill crew of psychoes
Nas Escobar movin on your weak production
Pumpin corruption in the third world we just bustin

Verse Four: Raekwon the Chef

Hold up and analyze the wildcats slang cracks
they swing an axe, the new routines, be my eyes black's
playin corners glancin all up in your cornea
Corner ya, seen cats snatch monies up on ya
But late night, candlelight fiend with a crack pipe
It's only right, feelin higher than an airplane right
Word yo, I want to get this money then blow
Take my time, blast a nine, if you front you go
Sip beers, the German ones, hand my guns to sons
Shaolin, and Queensbridge we robbin niggaz for fun
But still, write my will out to my seeds then build
Mahalia sing a tale but the real we still kill

Chorus 2X

Outro: Raekwon

Uhhh
Lay back
Word up, just bless em
with the bulletproof
Mobb Deep, Nas, Chef creation
for your nation
Yeah

I can understand saying Nas' verse was the best, but there's a little dickriding going on in this thread. The quality of all four verses is pretty even. Saying Nas' is the best and it ain't close is some overrating if you ask me.

thedesolateone

Prodigy

raekwons verse was a clear picture of his word play and delivery. he never truely left that style but on this song he seemed to flaunt it alot more than usual

think "incarcerated scarfaces"

GSonII

Track is not even worth analyzing no-one stuck out
