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?

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
