The third verse of Kenny's Not Like Us

 

[Mike the Executioner]

Came here to post this. I was guilty of overrating the verse too when it first dropped. I guess it was because Nicki was viewed as kind of a gimmick artist (which she really is/was) but kinda sounded better than expected next to Hov, people overhyped the shyt out of that verse.



Also Exhibit C as a whole feels overrated. Some people were acting like it was greatest shyt ever when it really wasn't THAT amazing, just good.

In a way Eminem's Forever verse, just because it was the first Em verse after Relapse where he didn't use those weird accents and just because he outrapped Kanye, Wayne & Drake and/or their ghostwriters it doesn't mean it's an all-time great verse.

Eminem had better verses on Relapse, but the "Forever" verse is one of the most important verses of his career.

Relapse didn't get the best reception and Eminem was in danger of looking old-school next to the new generation of rap. He was gone for five years and he was still popular, but he wasn't hot. Where he is now would have happened sooner if not for that verse.

Guy jumps on a track with the three hottest rappers in the game and puts it in a great performance. All of a sudden, his reputation changes. He's cool again. Then he carried that momentum to Recovery and he had one of the biggest albums of the year. His music literally changed after that verse. I know he saw the reaction, realized what he was missing, and went back to working on Recovery with that verse in mind. It's the moment that determined whether or not Eminem still had a place in hip hop.

Monster by Nicki

This is the only answer

Not here to hate, but just a few thoughts on Crooked I. I really liked him back in the mid 2000s based off his mixtapes and "hip hop weekly" freestyles.

I 100% thought he was that next dude from the West to blow based on his bars and crazy rhyming ability. But when it came time to drop his albums, nothing really stood the test of time!

That's crazy to me for an emcee of his caliber..

I can only name two Crook songs off the top of my head "Boom Boom Clap" - only because it was the first video I saw from him - and "God Bless the King".

My only take away is that some of the nicest spitters can't make good albums or songs.

 

[Reptile]

Busta Rhymes--Look At Me Now

shyt is pure garbage...

Only verse more overrated is Nickis verse on Monster.
