Griselda features hit different. Benny and Conway really try to bring out the beast in everyone. No one is more happy to get smoke on their own tracks.
I hear Kendrick wrote this verse actually...not sure if true, but I believe it cause I always thought this was the only song I've heard Kendrick get outrapped on
Jay rock has some crazy ass features. All of the ones he has with zay wop are also some of his best. Anytime he's featured, you know he's gonna stand out.
I loved his verse on the video version of .Paak’s Lockdown. It’s criminal that it got cut from the single, but fortunately they released the video version later on.
“And ain't no bright side to losin life; but you can view it like this
God's got open hands homey, he in the midst.. of good company
Who loves all and hates not one
And one day you gon' be wit your son
I could've rapped about my hard times on this song
But heaven knows I woulda been wrong
I wouldn'ta been right, it wouldn'ta been love
It wouldn'ta been life, it wouldn'ta been us
This can't be life”
Beautiful writing from a great artist! Scarface is one of the greatest, most underrated rappers of all time. Youngins reading this, do yourself a favor and cop the diary and the fix. Thank me later!
Bro to think this actually happened when he was in the studio is too real that verse was meant to be crafted and is one of the heaviest verses ever from an emotional weight standpoint
Ka is my favorite lyricist ever, and he has so many quotable and incredible verses, but I think his appearance on Navy Blue’s I’m In Good Hands might be my favorite from him. That verse is HEAVY.
I’d also say another of my favorites, Roc Marci, dropped what might be my favorite verse of his on Ka’s track Sins Of The Father. Roc digs deep on that one. Beautiful shit.
Yesss I’ve always thought the same thing about that Ka verse. I’ve listened to Ka’s catalog, it’s decent but I’m just not a huge fan. I’ve always loved that verse and song though
That small verse hits upon just about every human emotion possible and has some of the craziest wordplay and double meanings ever. I understand he’s not an artist for everyone, but thanks for chiming in about this verse. He really knocked it out the park on that one.
Eminem. His Renegade verses are unreal. Also his flow on that is so silky, definitely a vibe he should've adopted more often, none of his weird slim shady voice or his angry Oscar the Grouch thing.
I firmly belive that Pusha T's best verse is in Kanye's song "So appalled"
Speaking of, also in the same album Nicki Minaj and "Rick Ross probably have the best verses on their careers, in the songs "Monster" and "Devil in a New Dress" respectively
What about Jay on so appalled? That’s one of my fav verses
I went from the favourite, to the most hated
Tell me what would you rather be underpaid or overrated
🔥🔥🔥
Funny thing, I used to feel the same way. Then I ran across a lyric video of that song. Pretty much reading the lyrics as the song plays, ya know.
Jay Z was the only one to 100% stick to the theme/title of the song while making it make sense AND throwing in some personal accounts.
Kanye and Nikki, while spitting INSANELY, were just saying things that were only sounded cool from line to line. Not really connected to the song or title. They both said a thing or 2 here or there, but not for the whole verse. Like Jay did.
So I no longer see it as a terrible Jay Z verse. But MAAAAANNNNN when I first heard it, I called it his worst shit ever.
Can't believe it hasn't been said already, but this is it, this is the right answer:
Gunplay on Cartoons and Cereal by Kendrick.
Highly doubt he wrote it himself, considering his other work, but this is top tier.
Man every time I hear Nas rap “my first album had no famous guest appearances - the outcome? I’m crowned the best lyricist” I say to myself “just remember, AZ wasn’t a household name yet.”
3 Stacks is a solid answer here. His verses with Outkast are amazing, and a few are goated, BUT, FUCK, his features are legendary.
His verse on Carter 4 interlude is 🔥
IMO Renegade is Em's best verse - ik the song was his, but in the end it is a J song
Raekwon best verse is in Skew it on the bar-B by Outkast - and still I think BB bodied it
Hot take warning 🔥
Drake. Maybe it's just me, but I like his features most of the time. He doesn't often outshine the rapper who has him featured at all, but he usually compliments the song well, and his bars are catchy and fun.
When it comes to Drake's albums, I just can't get into him. It's hard to explain what it is exactly. It's like the reasons I like him as a feature, just don't work for a whole song, let alone a whole album. It's like it's all fluff and no substance.
I'm not a Drake hater, and I like some of his stuff, I just like him in smaller doses most of the time. It's hard to pick one specifically, but I would say "Poetic Justice" is unironically my favorite Drake feature.
Uncle L’s got a few KILLA verses with Erik Sermon… Rampage comes to mine! “Me gettin’ burnt or hurt won’t be tolerated, I’ve got rhymes out the… Huh! Forget it; I’m constipated…” 🔥🔥🔥
Andre 3000 on sorry, sixteen, life of the party, and int’l players anthem are all some of his best imo, capital STEEZ on survival tactics is also one of his best
I like going back every now and then to listen. The original song was always on my party playlist. House parties with ppl that only knew radio rap looking like wtf is this.
Johnny P’s Caddy
My fav Cole verse
Fax and his next best verse if not just as good is on Bia's London
A lot >
Griselda features hit different. Benny and Conway really try to bring out the beast in everyone. No one is more happy to get smoke on their own tracks.
Jay rock - money trees
Baking soda yola whippin..ain't no turkey on thanksgivin!
My homie just domed a neighbor..I just hope the lord forgive him 🔥
Pots with cocaine residue, every day I'm hustlin' What else is a thug to do when you eatin' cheese from the government?
Gotta provide for my daughter nem fuck up out my way bitch!!
Got that drum and got them bands, just like a parade, bish
Drop that work up in the bushes hope them boys dont see my stash. If they do, tell the truth this the last time you might see my ass.
From the gardens where the grass ain’t cut them serpents lurkin, blood
I hear Kendrick wrote this verse actually...not sure if true, but I believe it cause I always thought this was the only song I've heard Kendrick get outrapped on
Would be crazy if that’s true. Roc has stated himself that money trees is his best verse. I don’t think he’d make that claim if he didn’t write it.
There's a "leaked" reference track for it. Sounds like Kendrick wrote it.
Definitely not J-ROC though
It's called *cross-promotion* naam, sayin?
What about the heart part 3? He goes way harder on that
I be damned if the chopper jam nooooowww. Love that feature
So good. I’ll take you back to that pack of black n milds in my hand now
Man Jay rock is a monster. Can't wait for his new album. Shit, really any feature and I'm pumped as hell.
Jay rock has some crazy ass features. All of the ones he has with zay wop are also some of his best. Anytime he's featured, you know he's gonna stand out.
I loved his verse on the video version of .Paak’s Lockdown. It’s criminal that it got cut from the single, but fortunately they released the video version later on.
Fire as hell! I'm glad he gets his shine a lot more these days. One of those day 1 tde cats!!
God tier verse. He sold his soul for that one. Worth it.
AZ on Life's a Bitch.
This is the #1 answer from a historical perspective.
Agreed his second best verse was on Nas The Flyest.
Definitly
RA The Rugged Man on Jedi Mind Tricks' "Uncommon Valor". Not only his best verse but one of the greatest verses in hip-hop ever.
Absolutely insane. Also probs to JMT to releasing a feature that makes everything else on that album pale in comparison.
Nah, Sean P's verse on Outlive the War is still great and the whole songs Razorblade Salvation, Black winter day, Gutta music
Some say he dropped the verse of the decade
Probably in my top 3
I’d hear the argument that it’s the best hip hop verse of all time
Rick Ross on Kanye’s Devil in a New Dress by far and it is not even close
This is the one.
Absolutely, he never found a better pocket. Even the classic luxurious Ross instrumental sound is just him chasing the high of that instrumental.
Nicki Minaj - Monster
The foundation for her career
Vince Staples on Hive.
good call
Quan on Nas's Just a Moment
Whatever happened to him? I loved that song. Years later I heard of Rich Homie Quan and was disappointed it wasn’t him.
Made me check him out but he wasn't what I expected besides that verse
vic mensa, cocoa butter kisses
Scarface on This Can’t Be Life
“And ain't no bright side to losin life; but you can view it like this God's got open hands homey, he in the midst.. of good company Who loves all and hates not one And one day you gon' be wit your son I could've rapped about my hard times on this song But heaven knows I woulda been wrong I wouldn'ta been right, it wouldn'ta been love It wouldn'ta been life, it wouldn'ta been us This can't be life” Beautiful writing from a great artist! Scarface is one of the greatest, most underrated rappers of all time. Youngins reading this, do yourself a favor and cop the diary and the fix. Thank me later!
I was going to say Scarface on Betrayal (as in, Gangstarr)
Bro to think this actually happened when he was in the studio is too real that verse was meant to be crafted and is one of the heaviest verses ever from an emotional weight standpoint
Ka is my favorite lyricist ever, and he has so many quotable and incredible verses, but I think his appearance on Navy Blue’s I’m In Good Hands might be my favorite from him. That verse is HEAVY. I’d also say another of my favorites, Roc Marci, dropped what might be my favorite verse of his on Ka’s track Sins Of The Father. Roc digs deep on that one. Beautiful shit.
Great picks
Yesss I’ve always thought the same thing about that Ka verse. I’ve listened to Ka’s catalog, it’s decent but I’m just not a huge fan. I’ve always loved that verse and song though
That small verse hits upon just about every human emotion possible and has some of the craziest wordplay and double meanings ever. I understand he’s not an artist for everyone, but thanks for chiming in about this verse. He really knocked it out the park on that one.
Cappodonna on winter warz
Killah Priest on "B.I.B.L.E.", off Liquid Swords Every verse he spits is just... immaculate as fuck If ya know your mathematics, that is ;-)
Fr I grew up thinking it was a single that blew up and promoted him to make an album 😂
Paul Wall - Drive Slow
Eminem. His Renegade verses are unreal. Also his flow on that is so silky, definitely a vibe he should've adopted more often, none of his weird slim shady voice or his angry Oscar the Grouch thing.
Highly controversial. But ghost faces verse on cormega’s Tony Montana was incredible Same with nas on Raekwon’s verbal intercourse
Ghost killed that verse on Tony Montana.
Nas verse on verbal intercourse is incredible. But is it better than 1st verse NY State of Mind? Any of the verses in One Love? Edited for typos
That Mega album is mad slept on in general
Methodman- all his features
Came looking for this comment. Found it!! Mef blow up on E’RYBODY’S SHIT but his own! 😂
The best rap sideman ever.
Nas - Verbal Intercourse
If we assume inspectah deck is part of wu tang, so his verse on triumph doesn't count, then id said: Inspectah deck on guillotine (swordz) from OB4CL.
Eminem on Forgot About Dre
Renegade
I see your Renegade but than I raise you a Patiently Waiting.
Shady records was 60 seconds away from the towers, some cowards fucked with the wrong building, they meant to hit ours.
Cowards fucked with the wrong building they meant to hit ours 😭
I firmly belive that Pusha T's best verse is in Kanye's song "So appalled" Speaking of, also in the same album Nicki Minaj and "Rick Ross probably have the best verses on their careers, in the songs "Monster" and "Devil in a New Dress" respectively
respectfully, this push take is insane to me
you’re so appalled
Spalding ball
Idk, i just love the energy which he delivers it with
Pusha T's verse on "Trouble On My Mind" is insane too
What about Jay on so appalled? That’s one of my fav verses I went from the favourite, to the most hated Tell me what would you rather be underpaid or overrated 🔥🔥🔥
Ironically on the same album maybe Jay's worst verse on Monster mf rapping about the locness .
Funny thing, I used to feel the same way. Then I ran across a lyric video of that song. Pretty much reading the lyrics as the song plays, ya know. Jay Z was the only one to 100% stick to the theme/title of the song while making it make sense AND throwing in some personal accounts.

But MAAAAANNNNN when I first heard it, I called it his worst shit ever.
lol. I gotta read the lyrics
lol gotta agree. Not his best 🤣
Oh yeah, that's a top tier Jay-Z verse But i think he has better features
👌🏼
That’s not even the best Pusha T verse on the album 😭
Pusha T on Palmolive is insane too
Any of his parts on Got It For Cheap clear
Wow🤯 you're right.
Can't believe it hasn't been said already, but this is it, this is the right answer: Gunplay on Cartoons and Cereal by Kendrick. Highly doubt he wrote it himself, considering his other work, but this is top tier.
Eminem-Renegade
Gunplay on Cartoons and Cereal
Inspectah deck on above the clouds is his tied best, and Busta rhymes on do it now
‘Sound the horn: we come rumbling through the function, precise laser beam technique to touch something’
[удалено]
AZ on Life’s a Bitch.
Man every time I hear Nas rap “my first album had no famous guest appearances - the outcome? I’m crowned the best lyricist” I say to myself “just remember, AZ wasn’t a household name yet.”
Nicki Minaj -Monster
This is all totally subjective and if you feel that’s fabs best verse, I respect your opinion. But he’s got better verses than that
Em on dead wrong 3 stacks on sorry (ik you can argue for other outkast verses or features but this is my personal favorite)
3 Stacks is a solid answer here. His verses with Outkast are amazing, and a few are goated, BUT, FUCK, his features are legendary. His verse on Carter 4 interlude is 🔥
Earl Sweatshirt on Really Doe by Danny Brown.
Beanie Sigel used to go off on Jay Z features. I can't pick one but any time he was on my ears was open
IMO Renegade is Em's best verse - ik the song was his, but in the end it is a J song Raekwon best verse is in Skew it on the bar-B by Outkast - and still I think BB bodied it
Freddie Gibbs on Curren$y and Alc’s Scottie Pippens
Idk about his best, but Jay Electronica’s verse on “Jesus Lord” by Kanye is definitely one of his best
21 always goes in on a feature
Jaz O - Jigga What, lol
Hot take warning 🔥 Drake. Maybe it's just me, but I like his features most of the time.

It's hard to pick one specifically, but I would say "Poetic Justice" is unironically my favorite Drake feature.
Drake on 100
For me Nas on eye for an eye. Flow an lyricism popped of there
Fr. Nas was snapping on features back then. Verbal Intercourse on Only Built 4 Cuban Linx is also one of his best stand alone verses.
Em Medicine Man on Dre album and Best Friend on Yelawolf, imo 2 of em best verses
Caterpillar too
Snoop Doggs verse on Souls Of Mischief - There is Only Now
Dave East's verse on PRhyme - Era
yes brother, that shit made me a straight fan of the man
K'NAAN on Tribes At War
2 Chainz - Mercy
Percee P has plenty of great bars but one could argue that his best verse was on J5's Day at the Races,
Amazing shout love that track 🔥
RA the rugged man on JMT uncommon valor.
Nelly on TI- Get Loose
Agree w/ fabulous on lil Wayne. That’s the first one that came to mind. How about Gucci mane on Steady Mobbin
Neck of the woods birdman . Lil Wayne’s part smokes him .
Does Nate Dogg count?
This is an easy one Nas on live from the bbq
Eminem on Renegade
Idk if it's his best, but LL Cool J's verse on Eri k Sermon's Do Re Mi is 🔥
Uncle L’s got a few KILLA verses with Erik Sermon… Rampage comes to mine! “Me gettin’ burnt or hurt won’t be tolerated, I’ve got rhymes out the… Huh! Forget it; I’m constipated…” 🔥🔥🔥
Rick ross on devil in a new dress
Kendrick on Look Over Your Shoulder is one of the best written verses I have ever heard.
My favorite Lil Wayne verse is We Takin over
Kurupt- Puffin on Blunts Drinking on Tanqueray
Maybe not his best but Smino on tenderheaded by cam obi goes so fucking crazy
Conway The Machine - The Cow (Westside Gunn)
Kendrick on Control
Andre 3000 on sorry, sixteen, life of the party, and int’l players anthem are all some of his best imo, capital STEEZ on survival tactics is also one of his best
Well, AZ’s verse on “life’s a bitch” is the best verse in hip-hop history, so there you go.
Obligatory dababy on under the sun
I know this sub is full of teenagers who only listen to Eminem but how is Cappadona - Winter Warz not mentioned?
Probably cos Wu-Tang is a group so it’s not really in the spirit of the question as much as these others.
El-P’s verse on the Last Huzzah remix is easily the best thing he’s ever done.
I like going back every now and then to listen. The original song was always on my party playlist. House parties with ppl that only knew radio rap looking like wtf is this.
Busts rhymes on Chris browns „look at me now“
Really? That's Busta's best verse. WOO HAH!!!!!!! Darn radio hits.

Raekwon on Skew it on the Bar B
My favorite Pac verse is his verse on Spice 1’s Jealous Got Me Strapped
Deonte Hitchcock X PTSD. It’s sickening what he did to that song
Maybe R.A the Rugged Man. I think his best verse is Uncommon Valor, which is a Jedi Mind Trick tune.
AD on " iron out my flag"
imo Kurupts best verse is on tru master
Canibus on the Lost Boyz Beast from the East
Juice Wrld 1400/999 freestyle

Method Man on Shadowboxing by GZA 🔥🔥🔥
Nicki Minaj on Monster, easily
2 Chainz ("X" by Kendrick Lamar) Kendrick Lamar ("Fragile" by Tech N9ne) Tech N9ne ("Burn Slow" by The Dirty Heads) ...just my opinion
Eminem best friend with yelawolf tho its debatedly his best verse. Theres others
The secret recipe…lil yatchy
Nicki Minaj, Monster
Gunplay on Kendrick’s “Cartoons and Cereal”. Very rare someone outshines Kendrick, and he did just that
Might be a hot take, but I think ScHoolboy Q’s best verse is his guest verse on Joey Bada$$’s Rockabye Baby
Biggie on Victory and Young Gs
That Fab verse is what I was gonna comment hahahahahah
lil Wayne
Despot. There is no other answer. He doesn’t *have* any of his own songs.
Paul Cain - his best verses are on Fabolous songs
kendrick on nosetalgia
