All dickriding shit aside
 

I believe that Nas, AZ, & Rakim are the greatest verbalizers rap has seen. What I mean by that, is the word choice they use along with the schemes they do while creating a visual and letting their lines resonate in your brain

Thats verbalizing. Here's Rakim for example. The song is dope, but when you read the lyrics you realize how sick dude is


Follow procedures, the crowd couldn't wait to see this
Nobody been this long awaited since Jesus
Who wouldn't believe this - I heard the word on the street is
I'm still one of the deepest on the mic since Adidas
They said I changed the times from the rhymes that I thought of
So I made some more to put the New World in Order
with Mathematics, put your status above the average
And help you rappers, make paragraphs with graphics
Cause new days is dawnin, new ways of peformin
Brainstormin, I write and watch the night turn to mornin
On and on and, I got the whole world respondin
Rock, I keep it hot and blow the spot without warnin
The Emperor, well known for, inventin a sentence
full of adventure, turnin up the temperature
Rush with adrenaline, how long has it been again
to be in the state of mind that Rakim is in?

*in your opinion

Styles P ft AZ - The Hardest


AZ's verse at 1:45

I'm the rap James Bond, my crack case gone...got 'em cuffed in the court, had my mac face on. Funny walk, money talk, told Black "stay calm"...he up north like a boss, tatted half his arm. Slid his mom seven grand, told her hold that down..we fam, it go low, then I roll back 'round. I'm as vicious as the realest you know...only difference is consistence, I'm considered a pro. From the trenches, till I'm dead, and I'm inches below...it's not a game, hear the name, bet it's mentioned with dough..

This is more like him just completely showing off with the schemes and story telling. Who's word choice is better than that?

If you love rap enough, you'll start to pick up on things. That whole verse had internals

cuffed in the court
funny walk, money talk
north / boss

to rhyme with rap james bond, crack case gone, mac face on, black stay calm....

I'm as vicious as the realest you know, only difference is consistence I'm considered a rpo

The level these niggas are at is ridiculous... Do ya'll wanna see Nas beastin?

all depends on whos speakin to you personally

don't tell me whats good music if you won't let me tell you you're bad at rapping

lol I laughed

You been gettin punk'd lately PuLse

I dunno about me gettin punked, G... I'm just too laid back... I shat on the fat bitch

Huey has a slick mouth but I'll let it slide because I fathered his, along with everyone else's style.

I'm your favorite textcee's favorite textcee and I'm your favorite audio battler's favorite audio battler.

But if I am my own favorite, then its an endless loop of self glossing.... I see your ideology tho

But you can't be your own favorite because as much as you like yourself you know there's someone that's better than you

That isn't the case with me, however. I'm the best ever.

Dangggg... you just keep enlightening me son

It's what I do, B

Can I get a gooooo Nuggets?

What happened to Linsanity lol?

Fuck a Linsanity. He's tryna be back for the Heat

but its all about Melo on the Knicks...we know this.

my Bulls just took a beating right now..smh..Lets see what my Lakers are gonna do to your Nuggets

Shiiiiit how many teams are yours son? Peep this tho, I live in CO

Fuck them nuggets.

Fuck you nigga

I only like Deron Williams & Wallace on the Nets which are now brooklyn bound

Melo is one of my top 5 players and seeing as how Nets are now NY I gotta stick to a NY team right? so I'll rock with the Knicks over the Heat. Anyday.

I just wouldnt want the Knicks to beat the Bulls because D-Rose is my 2nd favorite player. Kobe is my favorite player, so naturally I'd want the Lakers to be the best in the west.

Kobe
D-Rose
D-Wade
Melo
Westbrook

^my top 5 personal favs. So naturally I'll like those teams..but LeBron being on the Heat kills it for me..fuck that shit.

& I'd want the Bulls over the Lakers because I think it'd fit in with D-Rose's accomplishments thus far

Rookie Of The Year, All-Star, Youngest MVP in the history of the NBA

Why not get a ring for the icing on the cake? But he's out now...I'm still rockin with my Bulls on the East. Even over the Knicks.

and Lakers over everybody on the West but if anybody besides Lakers had to make it to the finals it'd be Thunder cuz I like Westbrook

Who the fuck is this nobody tho^^ forreal

peep this man..

damn dude lowkey went off

isnt lowkey arab? hahaha AZ got schemes but he can't make an album like that dunno i always been an AZ fan Rakim too tbh but not the best to me

yeah it aint album material - just a nice lil(long) cypher - What is AZ?/ if your talkin do or die - i got that but not fallowing you phil - hit me w/sum knowledge

yeah Do or Die a classic he got bangers but thats the only certfied classic

yeah he's slept on as shit just for his NAS like structure and imagry. true wordsmith. AWOL these days

---------- Post added at 05:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 AM ----------

Ya'll are buggin...AZ has solid albums throughout, just cause ya'll only remember Doe or Die doesnt mean his others arent classic...AZ is arguably the greatest of all time and he's on just about most rappers Top 5 if not on their Top 10

Eminem listens to AZ

Eminem's favorite rapper is redman who cares? I like AZ ever since I heard him murder Nas on life's a bitch.... he was solid on the Firm album has a classic but his other shit just never stayed on repeat with me i dunno

----------------- yeah he's slept on as shit just for his NAS like structure and imagry. true wordsmith. AWOL these days ------------------------------------------- lol I compared him to nas what more could i have said lol:eek:

so much for putting dickriding to the side

Its not dickriding, its facts. When your skill reaches a certain level you'll understand why these guys are some of the best

What im saying is, if you can barely make an internal and you arent even capable of scheming on a higher level

Then how would you know to appreciate it or look for it?

my rhymes have rhymes. I can spit about anything and everything AND deliver it. You can barely write bravado and make it exit your mouth.

---------- Post added at 08:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------

Plus tbh AZ is a very BASIC writer and his best delivery was on The Format. Other than that he's very sloppy to me.

Damn B you're hatin AZ in this thread and biggin him up in another

whats it gonna B...

What ever helps you sleep @ night in your AZ bed set.

The bed set is Ghostface Killah son...

ghostface > az
