So, I was playing songs today and as usual, I couldn't help but rap along to some of the rap songs on my list. While rapping along, I got an idea to open a thread on our current favourite rap verse here on Nairaland so we rap heads can compare and contrast and maybe update our music libraries accordingly.

Enough talk, already, here goes mine.

I got so many theories and suspicions,
I'm diagnosed with real nigga conditions,
Today is the day I follow my intuitions,
Keep the family close, get money _fuck bitches
I double parked the Aston in the red,
My mama told me that Imma work myself to death,
My girl told me don't let these hoes get in my head,
My world been ecstatic I checked the signal that read.

[HOOK] Buzzing, radars is buzzing, yah-yah, yah-yah, yah-yah, yah-yah; Buzzing, radars is buzzing, yah-yah yah-yah, yah-yah, yah-yah....,

So, there you have it, mine's the first verse of "Yah" by Kendrick Lamar off his most recent "DAMN" album.

Please, let's hear yours, rap fans.

Haaa fvck what,bitches? Issokay kwantinue

[b][/b]as I fall deeper into a manic state,
I'm a prime candidate for the gene to receive the drug addict trait.
Blood pressure climbs at a dramatic rate
I seem to gravitate to the bottle of nyquil then I salivate,
Start off with the nyquil like I think I should have a taste
Couple of six of that and I gradually graduate to a harder prescription drug called valium like yeah that's great,
I go to take just one and I end up having eight,
Now I need something in my stomach cos I haven't ate
Maybe I grab a plate of nachos and ill have a stake...........

That's dejavu from eminem's relapse album.

Just lay ur head on my shoulder don't worry about d pain baby girl am a soldier "hem"Never treat me bad nomatter who I was UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.(Amarushakur)

Aii, bruva..

Observing the estate through the gate from the outside, looking in. Bet you think I got it made, better look again. I got a butler, got a maid, and a mansion. The belief is that i'm living out a millionaire's fantasy. With Phantom and Ferrari's in the driveway. But you see it came in the exchange of the same man 's sanity. Your vision jaded by the grammys on the mantlepiece, just switch your camera lenses you'd see the agony, apparently it's damaging the man you see before you. On the canvas,he may seem alright but the disadvantage his family encounters overpowers his extravagance. Walk in my Nines awhile I you, while it really seem like the king's life ain't glamorous. As seen through the eyes of untrained amateurs because the came doesn't see beyond the walls of the smiles only counts until it falls in the piles

Poetic and powerful.

You could have written the lines in paragraphs so we can assess the rhyming scheme, though.

Who's this and what's the title?

T.I Castle Walls

Both verses kicked by two 19 year-old Queensbridge legends back in the 90s, they don't make em like these anymore. RIP Prodigy ( Mobb Deep)

Shook Ones, Part II
Mobb Deep
LYRICS
I got you stuck off the realness, we be the infamous
You heard of us, official Queensbridge murderers
The Mobb comes equipped for warfare, beware
Of my crime family who got nuff shots to share
For all of those, who wanna profile and pose
Rock you in your face, stab your brain with your nose bone
You all alone in these streets, cousin
Every man for they self in this land we be gunning
And keep them shook crews running, like they supposed to
They come around but they never come close to
I can see it inside your face, you're in the wrong place
Cowards like you just get they whole body laced up
With bullet holes and such
Speak the wrong words man and you will get touched..

Nas Lyrics
Play "Halftime"

"Halftime"

(Right..) (Right..)
Check me out y'all, Nasty Nas in your area
About to cause mass hysteria

[Nas]
Before a blunt, I take out my fronts
Then I start to front, matter of fact, I be on a manhunt
You couldn't catch me in the streets without a ton of reefer
That's like Malcolm X, catchin the Jungle Fever
King poetic, too much flavor, I'm major
Atlanta ain't Brave-r, I'll pull a number like a pager
Cause I'm am ace when I face the bass
40-side is the place that is giving me grace
Now wait, another dose and you might be dead
And I'm a Nike head, I wear chains that excite the feds
And ain't a damn thing gonna change
I'ma performer (?) show the mic warmer was born to gain
Nas, why did you do it?
You know you got the mad fat fluid when you rhyme, it's halftime

I've heard a lot about the lyrical prodigy of Mobb Deep but to be honest, I've never really _fucked with his works. Nas is an OG, though. His storytelling is the stuff of myths.

Those are nice rap songs, man.
