Feel free to debate or add on. I'll be back with more later.

Nas "Hero"

This universal apartheid
I'm hog-tied, the corporate side
Blocking y'all from going to stores and buying it
First L.A. and Doug Morris was riding wit it
But Newsweek article startled big wigs
They said, Nas, why is he trying it?
My lawyers only see the Billboard charts as winning
Forgetting - Nas the only true rebel since the beginning
Still in musical prison, in jail for the flow
Try telling Bob Dylan, Bruce, or Billy Joel
They can't sing what's in their soul
So untitled it is
I never change nothin'
But people remember this
If Nas can't say it, think about these talented kids
With new ideas being told what they can and can't spit
I can't sit and watch it
So, sh! t, I'ma drop it
Like it or not
You ain't gotta cop it
I'm a hustler in the studio
Cups of Don Julio
No matter what the CD called
I'm unbeatable, y'all

Young Jeezy - Done it

(Let's get it) Guess who's back in the building (who)
Mind on a million (YOUNG!)
Some ***** from Decatur (HAHA!)
She be holding my cash
I be holding her down
She be holding my work
and I been dicking her down (YEEEEEEAAAAH)
Just got a call from the other side of town
Say he tryna come up (up), the opposite of down (down)
Just hope he ain't the feds, nіggа Imma do me
Said he coming right back, he goin need another three (whoo!)
Two plates, four birds, one nіggа - OOWEE (we!)
Mr. 17-5 yeah they know Shawty Lo (HAHA!)
Anything bout blow, bet you ask Shawty Know
Now all the real *****es say Go Shawty Go!
I'm a black tee wearing
Hell nah I ain't caring
I'll wreck this ***** and come back in a McLaren
Know the feds staring (staring)
I ain't even caring
Left my 87s off, nіggа show 'em what I'm wearing

Matter of fact... in my opinion, this one might get overlooked by many... but "The Game Never can say goodbye" ... his biggie verse, was almost flawless... flow and all, i think that track gets really over looked, i thought it had some real substance...


i love it when they call me big poppa
i only smoke blunts if they rolled propa
look i gots ta catch the first thing smokin the cali
and hit one of my *****es in the valley
gotta call my ***** sean
tell him reserve the don
tell him to get the chron and the teflon
i think they trippin off the homie gettin shot
but god bless his soul lord knows it wasnt pop or the mafia
kim tell cease get the ****in truck
we bout to hit the Wolersheim district get ****ed up
pop bad bottles son twist up the phillies
im thinkin bout tiana these *****s is lookin silly
if this was brooklyn i would ump the 9 milli
but **** it we to the truck roll a dutch we outta phillies
hop in the front seat of that dark green suburban
heard another car swerven
gun shots closed my curtains
BIGGIE!!!

game cant hard as hell with this... deff one of the top 5 verses of the year as far as im concerned

Fab totally outclassed Wayne and Juelz..............


I'm with +101+ *****s, we +dalmation doggy+ b (yess)
And fly with the tongue, so if you feeling froggy leap (come on)
Kermit, you better think before you ribbit
Don't get murdered over your song, before you ad-lib it
I pop up like +Xzibit+, but given I'm at your crib it's (yeah)
Not to put no ****ing fish tanks in your Civic (nah)
**** getting your +ride pimped+, you'll get hog-tied wimp
Have you in the trunk curled up like fried shrimp (ha ha ha)
It's been a good year, maybe I should ride blimp (what you think?)
'Cause your boy just stay above the game
They trying to tag him, spray a brother frame
But your shots can't reach me, I'm way above your aim
Go 'head *****, say another name (go 'head, go 'head)
Take this family for a joke, play them +Wayan brother+ games
And +Ima Git You Sucka+, I be schemin' with this +Keenan+ (that's right)
Aimin with this +Damon+ , I'm putting that +Major Payne+ in
My lil' man is on ya, +Marlon and Shawn+ ya (yeah)
Lay the beef on his noodle, make some Luger lesagne (whoo!)
40. Cal fettuccine, trey pound pasta
You reach for this medallion, you must like Italian *****
You only see me pushing if the driver's tired (yess)
I work the S6 ever since the 5 retired (yess)
The drop top, they say it's +Ocean Drive+ inspired
So you can +Call A Cab+, once your ***** falls for Fab

Fab killed it on that track, and that was an old verse from him too. I heard that verse on some mixtape track with Cassidy

i thought that Juelz verse had some good moments too, but Fab did kill it.
they both basically shat all over Lil Wayne.
it's funny to me when artists do collaborations with other artists that are significantly and noticeably better. just makes them look bad.

Song : Motown 25
Album: Elzhi's The Preface

I really like Royce, but there was little need for him on this track. Elzhi's verse is likely the best of the year, in my opinion.

I end careers, years, pierce ears fierce with spears
They say I’m gifted, get lifted like the beers in cheers
Catch a thunder bolt, pockets stay lump from hundred notes
Stunnin quotes make you run ya coat while the sun’s afloat
Prehaps, my skill is real as G Rap’s
It feel as ill as concealin drills in the knee caps
Your funny style get three snaps in the circle
When off the purple and greens,
I’m higher than the jeans on Erkel, then I murk you
Bust techs, the lead sparkin now who be my next head target
I lift up, roll out, like the red carpet
Say my name three times in the mirror
And if I hear ya, I’ll appear clearer,
Extend both arms and pull you nearer
Pound for pound I’m, pretty live on the mic
And keep it flooded like Mike, on Motown 25
Put your soul on ice and sold it for a whole known price
I’m nice, keep a knot swole on dice
Grin is sarcastic, the way my pen’ll spark acid on the bar
Whether in the crib or the car, blasted
Son is a, prob rob funds from ya publishin
While his dogs put his guns to ya like the Punisher
Or the Terminator, flow is harder than a German major midtermin paper
The kid burns the saber, strikin cats
How you want it? Gats, ****e or bats
I know you likin that, stay sharper than Viking hats
Exhale, blowed mist, served you with a cold dish
*****s vomitin, bowels moving, they can’t hold piss
El and Royce, double team, hotter than a cup of steam
Tub ya spleen and bury you, just as deep as a submarine
Flawless, should be that very reason you applaud us
You saw us layin down a law just as raw as a crawfish
You met your death and although, I took away your breath and I ran
I still left wit a Grand like Theft Auto

Hood Mentality
[Ice Cube]

**** school *****, I'ma be a dope dealer
I'ma be a killa, yep a urban guerrilla
I'ma stack scrilla, yeah buy me a villa
Sell a 5-0 to my auntie Priscilla
I don't give a **** that she look like "Thriller"
Hit that **** one more time and **** around and kill her
Cause I got the heart of a Pittsburgh Steeler
Black ***** draped in gold, with a nine milla
Love money, love jail, love that penitentiary mail
Love the way these *****z smell, keep comin' back, can't you tell?
Love to see my mama cry, love to see my babies struggle
Love to see my woman juggle nuts 'cause she got to hustle
I don't give a **** how my life go
Now I'm a slave man to this caveman without Geico
Everybody wanna call Michael a psycho
But he ain't never came through the hood with a rifle
Gunnin' *****z down 'cause they don't got the right clothes
Hit the wrong person 'cause we shoot just like hoes
First I was blood thirsty, Mr.-Mr. Controversy
Now I wanna beg for mercy, should have took my ass to Berkeley

Real talk by Cube great verse.

Lloyd Banks - T.O.S.

Yeah (uhh)
Everything was slow motion, but I think I got the potion
Cause now that they overdosin all my doors are back, open
In my Cadillac, totin, n!gga play with me I'll smoke him
Murder one one, four three-fours where I'm from son
I don't need a gimmick, I'm the sickest n!gga in it
Get it upside-down or twist it, I could promise you a visit
You're a midget, I'm taller than that n!gga playin ball and
Meanin everybody know me when I'm walkin through the mall and
I get hot, in the mornin and right before I'm performin
I been on it since a young'n, I'm comin and here's your warnin N!gga
Don't be snorin, bein on point is important
Cause a coffin'll follow shortly after the white chalk and
Call me what you want n!gga but you can't call me broke
Call me crack, call me coke, call me uncut, dope
See my oh-eight gas burnin and my eighty-somethin rope
Time's over for you n!ggaz, red line on your throat (terminated)

TI I'm Illy

Rappin for the hell of it
Hella rich never have to sell a brick again
Must I tell a ***** again
The Bull**** I'm addressing check I'm on some next level ****
Never been ****ed in the game I'm celibate
Rarely out my element,
Barely out the ghetto with
One foot out and one foot in intelligent as felons get
Listen let's settle this
Be clear I could fall back seven years
Still ain't no one ahead of me

[Verse 1]:
Consider it a blessing if you get to stand next to me
Five star general
O.G. veteran
Caked like edimen
Blowing that celery
Stack that cash like the U.S. Treasury
Every single thing I ever done was done heavily
Rap until your seventy
Still ain't no catching me
Put it on my pops, Big Phil, Aunt Beverly
Be standing on the top still after they bury me
Nose in the air so stuck up arrogant
Ain't got long hot songs best cherish it
When I drop mine that's over, finito
You paying for your foul like a freethrow, BOW DOWN
Now how could a ***** think that he could see me
Other than the magazine covers or the T.V.
You know I sold more mixtapes than your cd
You’re waiting on your big break praying you can beat me
You ain't made it far as DC on the low
I been all around the globe like a god how they treat me
Broads hit they knees eyes closed when they greet me
Mouth wide open just begging me to skeet! skeet!
You in a deep sleep stop dreaming
I'm 6 albums in for 10 years I been firin' hot semen
The limelights mine I'm gleaming
Beaming
That's why I say I'm King *****
I got my reasons

that verse is unreal!!

i'm glad you think so too!
Elzhi is so lyrically on point 100 percent of the time. i wish he wasn't so slept on.
