Top 10 Verses For 2008
Wayne im goin in, Im Millie in here wit them Young Money Milli on aires,
Think you really pop a wheelie in air,
Mac Milli..the Vanilli’s in here.. im a rascal dont get whopped,
I get brats who dont give top, (”meaning he gets girls who play hard to give it up”)
I get tassel, pass you wit a flow you could never put a brake on,
And I break on anything a nigga take on,
Feel the napalm from my trey arm, straight long, throw a nigga like im Akon,
Cuz I make cons.. Where the base gone, get the base blown,
Let the Pistons on that chopper come on cops im kamikaze drop a rock wit them Obamas,
Illie in the mind, really wit the nine, millie when I rhyme, silly anytime,
Fine, chilly gitty on da grind, Shitty on a dime, Penny on the line, (Afernee Hardaway)
Plentys in me, any guinea’s wit em bigger than a mini and remind im..
Illie and its all off G piece and a P..G walk by beep beep,
Wit a freak, skeet, Hawk Out, big feet on a jeep..
She caught by Weezy F, we be the best,
Truely to death prove me the rest,
Groupies confess, you be the ref, excuse me I left..Ha
RealTalkNY takes a look at the best and most memorable verses of 2008. If you disagree with the list make sure to comment and what verses are missing are what verses are over/underrated.
Also I want to say Lil Wayne’s verse on, “A Milli,” was pretty random but it was one of the most popular verses of the year so it has to be on the list.

9. Fabolous – Fuck Em All
I said, Fuck em all motherfuck em all
Cuz I shop so much I smell like da fuckin mall
Its so many guns ain’t no where 2 tuck em all
And you might dodge 1 but let me see you duck em all
No way no how, Shit I kno dat
Almost as much as I kno O.J. a blow trail
I be in da club, Rose’ no smile
Few pretty chicks like ok can we go now
I must be the nigga, I run in ya house
Snatch ya lil russy and diggy
It’s nuffin no biggie
And if I have to I do it myself
I’m feelin like a puff wit no Biggie
Now these joker niggas O.D’n pullin da heaf ledge
So I’m a kill a cow and make sure dat da beef dead
Burger ass niggas, I look further past niggas,
And goover the head, I uncle Murder ass niggas
I say fuck em all, Motherfuck em all
I feel like there’s still niggas that owe me checks
I feel like there’s still bitches that owe me sex
I feel like this but niggas don’t know this stress
I lost the only girl in the world that know me best
I got the money and the fame and that don’t mean shit
I got the Jesus on the chain man that don’t mean shit
Cuz’ when the Jesus pieces cant bring me peace
Yo I need this at least, uh, one of Russell’s nieces on
I let my nightmares go I put on everybody that I knew from the go
I know hoes that was frontin’ when they knew we was broke
They say damn Yeezy Yeezy you don’t know us no more
You got that big fame homey and you just changed on me
You can ask Big Homey man the top so lonely
I ain’t lyy-iing so lonely I aint lyyy-iing
Let me see what we have tonight what we have tonight
I’m high as a satellite (satellite) I see those flashing
lights (flashing lights)
Cuz’ every night, every night
‘Ey Guru, put a lil’ T-Pain on my shit too
Know what I mean? Uh
I put on… (Oh you bout to put on Hov?) G Mix
I don’t need no T-Pain, I got this one, yes
I put Marcy on the map, I put Brooklyn on my back
I put Fab back on the charts, I put Biggie in my raps
I put Nas with Def Jam, I let Diddy do my tracks
I put on for my city that’s a motherfucking fact
I put Mike Jack on stage at Summer Jam Billie Jean
I put Prodigy in his place on that Summer Jam screen
I put Preme in my truck told him leave them streets alone
I predicted jail would happen shit I tried to put him on
All these niggaz taking credit for the work that I put in
If you really put me on put yourself on then
I put miles on that hoopdie
I put hours in that kitchen
Put that on my mama this is fact not fiction
Feds were tryina build a case I was headed for conviction
Til the greatest flow in the world put me on television
I put on for my city so when I’m dead gone
I got one last wish put my Yankee hat on
They must got a death wish
they was on the road to the riches back in the day they got off on the exit
trill disrespect shit
whenever a nigga try to fuck up your investment
its hard to digest it
young niggas don’t want to get punched in they faces
so they keep the burner on, to catch a bunch of cases
these old niggas still think they livin’ in the ’80s
the shawties they knew since they were babies turn crazy
the bitches still holla at anybody
lookin’ like they have a couple dollars
fuck suck and swallow
ain’t nobody winnin’ but everybody can’t lose
dirts still there funeral home ain’t move
going in coming out gang affiliated
rather go back before being humiliated
a black cloud over the hood you can’t escape it
dust smokin’ niggas walk around in the matrix
loyalty is thin, tension is thick
look at a broke nigga’s face when you mention a brick
stick up kids come around, when they sense that you rich
cans of lizzle get lit, when you get hit with a fifth
niggas they used to hoop dreamin’ is now sellin’ the piff
and they still rattin’ but you can’t tell if you stiff
especially when the tek spit, fuck around get your head and your neck hit
lookin’ for a death wish, walk
You go see Weezy for the wordplay,
Jeezy for the birdplay,
Kanyeezy for diversity and me for controversy,
All my verses picture perfect and they meant to serve a purpose, you ain’t living what you kicking and you worthless,
Looking from the surface it may seem that I got reason to be nervous then observe my work and see that my adversity was worth it,
Verses autobiographical, absolutely classical,
last thing I’m worried ’bout is what another rapper do,
Ain’t nobody hot as me even if they rap they ass off blast off and have outstanding qualities,
Sell alotta records I respect and salute that,
but spitting real life on hot beats I’m the truth at
You kick it like me no exaggeration necessary,
living revolutionary, nothing less than legendary,
Gangsta shit hereditary, got it from my dad
flow colder than February with extraordinary swag
Weezy… F… yea, ok
They say I’m rappin like Big, Jay, and Tupac
Andre 3 Thousand where is erykah badu at
Who dat
Who dat said they gon’ beat Lil Wayne
My name ain’t bic, but I keep that flame boi
Who dat one
Dat do dat boy
Ya’ll knew dat
True dat swallow
And I be the shhhh
Now you got loose bowels
I don’t owe you like two vowels
But I’d like for you to pay me by the hour
Hahaha
And I’d rather be pushing flowers,
Than to be in the penn sharing showers
See Tony told us this world was ours
And the Bible told us every girl was sour
Don’t play in the garden and don’t smell her flower
Call me Mr. Carter or Mr. Lawn Mower
Boy I got so many girls like I’m Michael Lowry
Even Gwen Stefani said she couldn’t doubt me
Man, life, just ain’t life, without me
Hip hop just ain’t hip hop, without me
Young moola baby
2. Jay-Z – Brooklyn Go Hard
I father, I Brooklyn Dodger them
I Jack, I Rob, I sin
Awww man, I’m Jackie Robinson
Except when I run base, I dodge the pen
Lucky me, lucky we, they didn’t get me
Now when I bring the Nets I’m the Black Branch Ricky
From Brooklyn corners, burnin branches of sticky
Spread love, Biggie, Brooklyn, hippie
I pity, the fool with jewels like Mr. T
With no history in my borough, they borrow
With no intentions of returnin, tomorrow
The sun don’t come out for many, like Annie
Half orphan, mama never had an abortion
Papa sort of did, still I managed to live
I go hard, I owe it all to the crib
Now please tell me, what the fuck’s harder than this!!!!
1. Nas – Black President
They forgot us on the block
Got us in the box
Solitary confinement
How violent are these cops?
They need an early retirement
How many rallies will I watch?
I ain’t got it in me to march
I got a semi to spark
The game’s in a droughtPublic housing, projects
Cooking up in the Pyrex
My set, my click
Either getting money
Or running from homicide trial
That’s if they ain’t died yetTrying to be rich
Still I’m pledging allegiance
A predicate felon, a ghetto leader
Lending my poetical genius
To whoever may need it
I bleed this from Queensbridge
Now living with my feet up
Never defeated
So a president’s needed
Y’know these colored folks and Negroes
Hate to see one of their own succeeding
America, surprised us
And let a black man guide us
Hmm missed out on Andre 3000 – Royal Flush & T.I. – Ain’t I remix.

Hell Naw! Where’s Soulja Boy?!?!?!
December 30th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
JAY’S VERSE ON BROOKLYN GO HARD, BK ANTHEM, AND DJ KHALID GO REMIX WERE THE HARDEST AND ESPECIALLY HARDER THAN NAS’.
December 30th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
were is joell ortiz at? kanye put on verse? what the fuck top 10 i think not.
December 30th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
Man I dont kno, i think the corey verse should be higher then 10.
December 30th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
Where Drake at????
He should replace Wayne…
Other than that its cool
December 30th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
Or the verse from queens get the money should make the cut
December 30th, 2008 at 5:53 pm
fab on takin pictures, some of the kanye west features, that go hard jay-z just did, nas wit something’s foul and freck billionaire on takin pictures.
December 30th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
i personally think jay-z verse on ’swagger like us’ was better than t.i’s. thus meaning it could’ve been 4th… hell, it could have easily been 1,2, or 3.
December 30th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
corey gunz mili verse > lil wayne’s
December 30th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
detective trilla,you got jokes..ha!
cory gunz ope ‘09 is a very good year for him
December 30th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
I agree with the Nas verse TI should have been number 3 but that Lil Wayne verse was the worst it makes no since but thats music nowadays for yall.
December 30th, 2008 at 6:03 pm
Pusha t verse from
“Big dreams” off the play cloths mixtape
December 30th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
I can agree with this list… MINUS: Lil Wayne A Milli verse. I like Weezy, but defiently could have added a better verse to the list.
December 30th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
If you give Wayne props for ‘best verse’ then you should just say Drake since LIL WAYNE PAYS OTHER PEOPLE TO WRITE HIS ILLEST VERSES. http://hiptics.com/2008/12/30/lil-wayne-tha-carter-4-fakest-rapper-alive/
December 30th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
**Put that on my DEAR mama this is fact not fiction**
December 30th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
i gotta go with Joe Budden “Who Killed Hip Hop” as my #1 g…but good list though..also Andre 300 verse on Bog Boi’s song ‘Royal Flush’..set the world on fire g!
Check it out:-
Styles will change
They say change is dang-erous
As a King standing on the terrace
While his partners pointing up at the rifleman
Cowards shoot and never know when your life will end
Then… live like there ain’t no ‘morrow
And if one come then this the motto
Now I put message in bottle
You go to the nearest beach and open your car door
And you walk to the place where the sea meets the land
Yeah it’s easier to run the street than walk in the sand
Hey I’m talking young man
As if chalk in my hand
I will take yo’ little ass to school
It’s cool
When the kids call me Sonny, the hood calls me Stacks
The bees call me honey, Hollywood calls me back
Crack and I have a lot in common
We both come up in the 80s and we keep that bass pumpin’
Now that’s a nega-tive comparison
Embarassin’
Unfortunate that if you come up fortunate
The street considers you lame
I thought the name of the game
Was to have a better life
I guess it ain’t what a shame
I don’t slang, never slung
But I’m one with the slum
That has a name well fitting
Plenty G’s getting
No wonder why they called it the trap
So watch your tail
And I’m not kidding
The rats and mice would give advice
They say that you can paint and draw
Get out of here
Go show them that we’re more than slangin’ raw
That’s when I broke into my Big Rube impression
And I tried to enlighten but that night a learned a lesson
That the morals that you think you got go out the window
When all the other kids are fresh and they got new Nintendo
Wiis
And yo’ child is down on her knees
Praying hard up to God for a Whopper with cheese
Do you b) Hit the street hard with a flare
Or do you a) Go for school for heating and air
Dare making under seven
But make a crooked killing
Or do a bit of both until your holding on a million
Brilliant
You got one foot in and one foot out
You put yo’ left foot back in and then you shake it all about
You do the Hokey Pokey ’til you turn your life around
That’s what it’s all about
3000 out

December 30th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
I would have included Nas verse on “My President” w/ Jeezy. and also his verse on “I do it for hip hop” w/ Luda and Jay.. Nas came back strong in 08.
December 30th, 2008 at 6:28 pm

HEY..let Nas the black president of hiphop reign because more than any of these rappers he stimulates the brain and in reality this world is full of fakes who got it made so real recognize real while the real live in pain thats why these fake ass rappers are millions of paid thats a million of lames n I’m just puttin u on to the business the real deal let it be something u feel…
December 30th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
Hey I think its cool that Lil’ Wayne did his thing this year….but take that damn verse off of there….he might of had a more decent verse but I think he lyrical content is malnourished its ridiculous. I would’ve definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely put on of Lupe Fiasco’s verse’s up there from his album…which is what I call lyrical crack. Nas’ Black President is a great song and is definitely in the right spot.
“…And from a throne of their bones I rule
These fools are my fuel so I make them cool
Baptize em in the water of Scarface pool
And feed em from the table that hailed Le Corleons food
If you die tell em that you played my game
I hope your bullet holes will be the mouths to say my name
Cuz I’m the…”
Lupe Fiasco – Put You On Game
December 30th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
put dat buddenz who killed hiphop verse on dat too, i slept on that shit.
sh..sh..she so pretty
a grown lady lmao.
December 30th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
how u gonna put a verse on the list just because its popular
u might as well put soulja boys verse to crank dat on here
cuz that song was popular as fuck
im confused
is this a popularity contest of a contest of skill?
December 30th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
I’m with it, especially the #1 choice. Good list…dont agree with every slot but for the most part, this is spot-on
December 30th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
this list u complied has to be some of the weakest verses of 08
what about charles hamilton
wat about that nigga drake
what about my nigga mickey facts
all these new niggas that u act like didnt even come out
u got jay up there like 3 times
jay is nice but the verses u picked were of his weakest
ur taste in good music is nasty
December 30th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
I dont’t agree wit some of da choices. I wouldn’t put da Corey Gunz verse # 10 I would of put it higher he killed da track.
Wheres Ludacris at? He killed a couple of tracks.
Wheres Lil Wayne verse from Dr. Carter it should b in da top 10
December 30th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Also Lil Waynes Verse from Dey Know Remix & Lollipop Remix. Yuh cant tell me it aint in da top 10
December 30th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
that 3k verse from royal flush was flagrant. i dunno if i heard hotter verses than that one this year.
it’s tough to give kanye credit since rhymefest is always his co-writer on songs.
as a huge jay fan it havent liked NOTHING from his since american gangster. the verses are good but not up to his elite standards.
i dunno about that wayne a milli verse eiher. cory guns made them take em off the original version.
nas had much hotter verses than “my president”. i would put most verses from “untitled” againist that one.
if not andre3000, i’d have to go with joe budden for 08′.
December 30th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
Definitely should made this list top 25 cause there are a lot of overshadowed people/verses
December 30th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
sorry joey scotch, we just sleeepin on all these new cats you just mentioned, The game is so dumbed down that I don’t even check for dem cats you mentioned. Mickey facts?, Drake? Charles Hamilton(heard about him, never heard or listened to his songs well maybe the one with the old Big L beat on it.)
the new cats still can’t touch the veterans or even the soon to be veterans like Joe Budden and Fabolous and them. I say it again, the industry is so dumbed down, that’s why they can appreciate lil wayne’s verses. lil wayne is animated and all, but I’ll quote Jay-Z on an interview where he said that Lil Wayne has great delivery but he doesn’t say the greatest things.(that’s not off verbatim but something like that). I’m just waiting for everyone to get sick of Lil Wayne, T Pain and Soulja Boy(that lil kid is getting annoying dissin Nas)let’s see what’s next. and who got next.
“I think Lil Wayne is extremely talented, I think he’s one of the most talented ones out there. I mean, even more so how his delivery is than what he says. I don’t think some of the things he says sometimes are the greatest things, but the way he delivers it, that’s part of it.” Jay-Z speaks on Lil Wayne -XXL Magazine
December 30th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
Corey Gunz should be higher (like #7), Wayne and Kanye shouldn’t be on there, add Andre 3000 on Royal Flush and Juelz Santana in the BET Cipher.
The Top three should read #3 T.I., #2 Andre 3000, and #1 Nas
Notable Honorable Mention: The ENTIRE last cipher at the BET Awards and Q-Tip in the cipher.
December 30th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
LMFAO @ #1 that nigga said soulja boy
December 30th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
what about game’s verses in big dreams?
December 30th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
royce da 5′9 verses on slaughterhouse is best i heard this year
December 30th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
man you should lose this site just for that top 10 list alone.. could you ride hov’s dick any harder?.. where’s every verse off on slaught by slaughterhouse and agree wit 5 bout drake his verse from ransom kills wayne’s
December 30th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
yall must not have heard bow wow’s “grindin” freestyle! he put both pusha t and malice in retirement with that one
December 30th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
This list has very little credibility. I’m dissapointed quite frankly. But I guess there wasn’t that much to work with this year.
December 30th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
the game feat nas
letter to the king
~third verse~
so underrated
andre 3000’s verse royal flush n budden’s who killed hip hop
(i know they been called out;)
December 30th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
i think Fabs verse on nothing on me should have made the list and nas went HARD on black pres. even tho i dont fuck wid him like that
December 30th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
fab verse from da song im gettin money ft freck billionaire, drake song wit lil wayne called ransom or stunt hard either 1 of those verses, yall definately shulda put corey gunz verse top 5 an i culd care less for the kid. 1 of fab many verses shuld be top 5 he is really 1 of the best mc/rapper/artist in da game along with hov, nas and ti, drop kanyes verse an waynes a millie verse and you replace it with a drake verse or hov verse an your top 10 is rite nigel, so u got an 8/10 not bad
December 30th, 2008 at 10:20 pm
Fab’s A Millie Freestyle Was The Hottest Shit All Year..Hands Down -”I Only Smoke Dutches, I Dont Philles(Feel These) Mu’Fuckas” Smh Get Ur List Right Realtalk
December 30th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
where da fuck is Lupe? And where da hell is 3 stacks? And Jay-Z shouldnt have been on here twice…and the verse for him shouldve been off dat swagga like us shit
December 30th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
TI’s verse off Aint I remix should be up there.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
Some of NIGEL’s picks are so wrong
December 30th, 2008 at 11:17 pm

Aye man where luda at? Luda killed all these rappers on songs. There’s Last of A Dying Breed wit lil wayne. There’s Undisputed, Wish you Would, Im so hood, Throw it up, Creepin solo.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:52 pm
Again I must call yall the most bias website, where’s Lloyd Banks verse on “I’m Leavin”
Look! The television caters to pop, not violent hits (Yeah!)
The Unit ain’t fall off it’s all politics (WE THE BEST!!!!!!!)
Niggas don’t throw rice they throw hollow tips
And they don’t wanna get married they want model chicks (TELL ‘EM BANKS!!!!!!!!)
Sex, liquor and dough, bottle piff
Fuck buyin the Phantom, I’ll just borrow Fif’s
Yesterday’s that is tomorrow’s this
From a land and a hill to a Colorado cliff
Nigga you violate me I’m sendin you to God
I’m no peacemaker, that’s my jeweler’s job (FUCK THAT!!!!)
I spit it how I live it nigga you the fraud!!
Put my weight on your back you wouldn’t move the yard

Wow I normally dont criticize cause its really hard to make good lists… that said this list fuckin sucks like how much thought was put into this for real? T.I., Kanye, Wayne and Cory do not belong on this list, Jay is iffy. You definitely missed out with 3k. Mickey Factz last verse on Machine Gun is pure fire. Asher Roth on Change gone come, Royce on Slaughterhouse, fab was better on takin pictures than fuck em all… but that whole mixtape was on another level, best of the year. Finally, I am sure Joell Ortiz said something that should be on this list, I’d get specific, but i just woke up to how talented dude is just a couple of months.
…Jeezy had better verses than half of this list… and Jeezy is not dope.
this is definitely not “real talk” this is commercial/well known verses by rappers everybody gasses (minus Joe Budden) 2008
December 31st, 2008 at 12:20 am
SHINE95
IF THATS HOW HIPHOP MAKES U FEEL
THEN THE DUDES I MENTIONED COULD PROBABLY FIX THAT
GRANTED THEY GOT A LONG WAY TOO GO
BUT THAT DOESNT TAKE AWAY FROM THEIR POTENCY
CHARLES HAMILTON ESPECIALLY IS DOING HIPHOP A REAL GREAT
FAVOR WITH THE MUSIC HE IS RELEASING
AND CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT THIS LIST IS WEAK AS FUCK
GRANTED THIS IS ONLY MY OPNION
THE PEOPLE I MENTIONED DESERVE A SPOKE
DRAKES WHOLE MIXTAPE WAS OFF THE CHAIN (THE COMEUP SEASON)
PICK ANY TRACK FROM THE PINK LAVALAMP OR THE L WORD
AND U WILL FIND BETTER VERSES IN LARGE AMOUNTS
BUT U SHOULDNT LET THE SURPLUSS OF WACK NIGGAS
CAUSE U TO IGNORE SOME POTENTIALLY GOOD NEW ONES

andre 3k woulda made ur list undeniable no matter who else u put up there, royal flush is a flawless verse.
honestly the fab,jada, kanye and jayz verses are on point to me. jeezy even had a few good verses this year, not really lyrical but the flow of the song be great.
the bet cypher deserved some shine too.
but that jadakiss-death wish is a problem, wack beat but ill lyrics
December 31st, 2008 at 2:03 am
Great job on the list. I feel it’s time for some real shit to come back and give us hope in this game. I grew up on Jay-z, Nas, DMX, Dre., Eminem,. etc. There was emotion then. You could feel the music then. They made you feel like a lil of them is in you. (no homo) Same struggles…same ambitions… It just felt right.

December 31st, 2008 at 5:29 am
CROOKED I HIPHOPWEEKLY VERSES >>>>> THE WHOLE INDUSTRY
Intro:
Yeah, yeah
Veterans Day just passed, shouts out to all the Veterans
Did you know that, one out of every four Veterans is homeless in America
It’s way bigger issues for this country to attack than me using the N-word
Sup my niggas? Hip Hop Weekly
Yeah, 33 hahaha
Fresh out of the Hip Hop Awards (yall missed it)
First one on the Westcoast (you missed it, haha)
I walked away with the “Westcoast Best Lyrical Assassin” Award
Yeah, here’s why, haha
Verse 1:
Yo, you fuckin with a blade runner
Crooked’s a straight gunner
I can freestyle for 8 summers, I’m the 8th wonder
White tee’s, 38’s under
My bad weather pistol strike like lightning and make thunder
When I wet ya, I betcha get a stretcher when I catch ya
Digest the bullet, my pleasure, high measures
Shots diggin in ya chest, tryin to find treasure
Find me in the city spelled with 9 combined letters
L.O.N.G.B.E.A.C.H.
We ain’t jokin’ nigga, we squeezin’ them 3-8’s (Long Beach)
Each day that passes I’m breathenin’ poisonous gases
Spittin straight acid, infectin’ the greater masses
Takin’ names after kickin’ asses, I trashes
Brass knuckles to your stunna glasses like Cassius
King of the cheddar talk, sever whoever with the Desert Hawk
Leave predators dead, I’m forever Boss
When I set it off, You lesbian thespian best be pedestrians
That means you pussy actors better walk
Funeral service, time to buy some flowers
I know you wish you could rewind time some hours
Change your mind and cower
Instead of gettin’ sniped by the rifle tower
Right, you rivals get your life devoured
When I ignite the Howard, Sir, Yes Sir
On my Rise to power, campaigning like Eisenhower
Coming off like a young Darryl McDaniels
Coming off five times a day like arabic sandals
Rich Ghetto American vandals
My necklace on fire
And it light up the room (like) I’m wearin some candles
Whoever’s hot I’m gonna scorch ya
You boys are out of order but can not afford waterboard an’ torture
Of course I’m a carnivore, I’m the Art of War enforcer
You Brontosaurus slow, to catch me you gotta floor a Porsche
I’m light years from fishing for ideas
I’m itchin’ to find peers
I’m switching my minds gears
Dimensions of my fears
All involved fear of what I do to you niggas
Ya Henchman is right here
I got the future visions
I ain’t usin’ you for missals
I give em the truth and then the youth to listen
We can make money in our sleep
Like kids when they tooths is missin’
All you do is join the new comission
No Paul Castellano, No Sammy Gravano just friends of C.O.B.
The only family that I know
Give us money and power
Give the Grammy’s to Bono
Give us love and respect, address me as Intriago
The one who treats the booth like a Synagogue
A Demagog, while y’all get ya Babel on, like my nigga Nimrod
I get my Grand Hustle on, like I’m in the Pimp Squad
And I keep it West, like the leader of the Lench Mob
Lyrical Assassin, the best in the West
Sleep on that and get your eye lids stretched to your chest
B.O. S nigga S,
Burnin’ down the compound like I’m Koresh’in (David Koresh) the flesh
Hahaha, Yes!
Outro:
Gone start hittin’ you whack ass rappers with dumpers
Put you underground like a bunker nigga, haha
Yeah, Get Away
This’ for my niggas in Philly, for my niggas in New York, New Jersey
My niggas out there in the mothafuckin’ Texas, mothafuckin’ Atlanta
Florida, for my niggas all around the world
My London niggas hit me up
My mothafuckin’ niggas way over in Italy, rockin that C.O.B. shit
Yaknow I’m talkin bout? We got spit over here homeboy
And I’m the King of the spitters nigga
Eastside Long Beach, C.O.B., Circle of Bosses
Comission of Businessmen
- CROOKED I
“You suckas want ruckus then you busters can come and get me
I sex your mama, it’s the mothafucka in me
Hit it doggystyle wearin’ nothin but a semi
Give me a reason to squeeze I’m reachin’ with ease
Knock you from your feet to your knees
Make it easy to bleed
Got a flow so cold
When I’m speaking niggas speakers’ll freeze
It ain’t no secret, I ether MC’s”
- CROOKED I
“acrobatic flow, asthmatic, sick psychopathic rappers back at it, skip the craftmatics, sleepin’ on the baddest illmatic attic is just ass backwards, peep the mathamatics, no more semantics from that crack attic, the flow is black magic!”
- CROOKED I
“what do i think of the industry ? think its a FAG FEST/
rappers wearing their boxers backwards for easy ACCESS/
how you think ge got on? he aint that FRESH/
soon as a rapper die burry him in a black dress”
- CROOKED I
December 31st, 2008 at 6:15 am
i know some already said this already, but really where is joel ortiz?!?!? Somewhere in this list there has got be a place to one of his track. At lesat ‘letter to Obama’:
Dear mr president i grew up with no brothers and sisters,
and my mom was on public assistance,
and her husband was missing,
she diveloped this disgusting addiction
that had her on some of the ugliest missions…
thats all i will leave it at that
December 31st, 2008 at 12:52 pm
That is what is wrong with hip hop. Budden killed it on some real shit for about 10 minutes, damn the year that should be on an all-time list.
December 31st, 2008 at 2:18 pm
For all of those who mentioned Dre 3k’s “ROYAL FLUSH” verse, EPIC PROPS!!
To me, THAT WAS THE NUMBER ONE VERSE OF 2008 BY FAR!!!
As for what #59 posted, DANG!!! I aint know Crooked I was a lyrical MENACE like THAT!!! imma finna download HIS SHIT THIS weekend!!!
And #60, I havent listened to Ortiz’ “letter to obama” but off them first lines, IM ALREADY HOOKED.
Another verse THAT I TRULY BELIEVE must make the list is Nas’ verse off PROJECT ROACH. EPIC CLEVERNESS
Uh, yeah..
Yo, I’m creepy and crawlin,
in your sink and your toilet
I be drinkin from your spit,
anything ’cause I’m all less
An insect with four legs;
people come in, I fake dead
Correction: I got eight legs,
climbin on top yo’ plate, bed
Wherever I smell food,
it could be even jail food
Stale food that’s molded,
a roach is what I am, fool
The ghetto is my land, fool,
I’ma never be able to
fly like a bumblebee, try not, to be
underneath your sneaker, pitiful creature,
I’m not afraid of
your pesticide or RAID ’cause,
in heaven’s my Creator
I love it when the light’s off,
eatin from same knives, forks
from, ANY man’s dinner, see my antennas
You can’t win, you can’t stand the crunchy sound I make
if you squash me, learn to live with me
How much your Ross Motel costin?
Yo, we in the city
But yo, we everywhere!
Check your house good, I bet we there!
LOOK THERE!
And Weezy’s verse NEEDS TO BE REMOVED ASAP from this list
*TEMPER*
And Nas’ “BLACK PRESIDENT” song, ALL VERSES need HONOROBALE MENTION, not just the one that’s posted here
December 31st, 2008 at 5:12 pm
I’m a hard guy to get along wit
get on the song wit
when shit be going right
Well I just flip it to the wrong shit
The team I belong to
the artist I put on wit
don’t ever ask for nuttin cuz dem niggas got they own shit
Me and Weezy like a mouth full of hot peppers
Black ferrari with the red seats I call it playin checkers
I’m never doing verses
I’m foreva giving letures
If you trying to meet with money
I’ll be happy to connect ya
Life is better than it’s ever been
Schedulin’ million dollar mettings with the president
Someone cut the lights on
Where is Thomas Edision
Gotta a new condo
Watch me as a settle in
I deserve a MTV show for me and my people
And if you tryin to zone I got a whole swisha sweet full
Rappers are liars and their women are deceitful
Add in todays substract me
I never be ya equal
Last place drizzy is the nigga in the lead now
Weezy told me just write every single thing you need down
then he got it for me and I’m happy as can be now
Bout to start ballin’ like I’m coming off a rebound
Yea, and I should have the most braggin’ rights
Becuase the nigga spit crack, bag it tight
Hate when rappers say they tryn’ get they swagger right
Cuz I done came wit more fire than a dragon fight
Fuck u pussy ass hater you should do you
You aint heard of me then you should go and get a blues clue
Oops I’m mean a red clue
Wayne’s here suu-woo
Bet he felt like the end of a pool cue
But I aint bangin, I aint waving no flag
I’m ATF but they aint seeing no badge
It heart break drake
I hate to see him so sad
I can son you
See a little me in your dad
I’m the same yellow boy that used to play up on degrassi
He can pocket 20 thousand to be anywhere they ask me
Cash like jonny
Banks like ashley
Burn it like a camel light stupid hoe ash me
But don’t ask me shit about me
And no the game really aint shit witout me
She might have to pay me but I dick her down free
Wanna know if it’s da truth then pull da zipper down and see
- Drake “Ransom”.. maybe not the best verse of 08 but no doubt top 10
December 31st, 2008 at 6:26 pm

you’re right andre 3000’s royal flush and ti’s ain’t i remix >>>>>>>>>>>>>> lil wayne’s a milli…
let’s hope in ‘09 lyrics > swag
January 1st, 2009 at 5:38 am
this is by far the dumbest list
wheres nas’s intro from his new album
or ill bill’s societys brainwhwashed
actually you could have just dropped every verse off of his new album into this list
come on now a milli wake the fuck up
January 1st, 2009 at 1:33 pm
nas is that nigga
January 2nd, 2009 at 12:42 pm
Lupe Fiasco’s lyrics are always on… Superstar Remix
You on your fifteenth minute of fame and on the sixteenth
Beginith the lame, and on seventeen, you lose everythang
The twenty-first is the worse, wishin’ you was eleven
Poppin’ like you was seven with the feelin’ when you was seconds
Reminiscin’ when you was just in
Now you just him, no longer the trend they dressin’
Now you wonderin’ where all the press went
You no longer impress them
Get arrested, paparazzi will press then {*camera flash*}
I fell on purpose to stay a freshmen
I lose
But Lu attend the school for X-Men
So when I get my cap and gown and put the rappin’ down
I’ll only know half my powers, but I spend half an hour
Like a senior citizen, havin’ a baby shower
Haters wanna budget, but my fans still love it
So you can ask them exactly who I are
Nine weeks in number one, I’m a superstar
January 28th, 2010 at 9:36 pm
Okay these are supposed to be the best verses. Soooo where’s Talib Kweli?
Diliver US
Eardrum
I call these rappers baby seals, cause they club you to death
I could call ‘em Navy SEALs, cause they government feds
What become of the vets? They drugged up, they fucked up, they in debt
There ain’t no love and no respect, it’s like a gang it’s like a club or a sect
Hip-Hop’s the new WWF
What do you rap or do you wrestle? Niggaz love to forget
We got til it’s gone, you think you on, you still hustlin backwards
Your topical norm a tropical storm, it’s a fuckin disaster
Back to the topic we on, it all started at Rawkus
They couldn’t find the words to describe me so they resort to the shortcuts
Is he a backpacker? Is he a mad rapper?
An entertainer or the author of the last chapter
We living in these times of love and cholera
Synonymous with the apocalypse, look up the clouds is ominous
We got maybe ten years left say meteorologists, shit
We still waitin for the Congress to acknowledge it
Truth
Check it, on my neck I still got marks from the nooses
The truth it produces, fear that got niggas on the run like Carl Lewis
The truth is my crew is the smoothest spitters of saliva juices like the roots is
More organic than acoustics
Heavenly what will set you free and kill you in the same breath
That shit you gotta get off your chest before your death, unless
The way you speak is lighter than a pamphlet
Cuz the truth give the words the weight of a planet goddammit
I ran wit what God planted in my heart and I understand it
To be the bring the light to the dark, breathe some life in this art
This must be the truth (why?) cuz we keep marchin on (true)
The truth lay the foundation of what we rockin on (true)
You can’t see it if you blind but we will always prevail (true)
Life is like the open sea, the truth is the wind in our sail
And in the end, our names is on the lips of dying men
If ever crushed in the earth, we always rise again
When the words of lying men sound lush like the sound of a violin
The truth is there, it’s just the heart you gotta find it in
