Crooked I Poses A Question to Hip Hop Heads :: "WHAT IS THE MOST OVERRATED VERSE IN Hip-hop/RAP HISTORY?"

[TripleAgent]

Oh and that Pun joe ....dead in the middle of little Italy didnt do diddly shyt. Never saw the big deal.

Yeah that fiddly diddly shyt way overrated. When somebody upped that thread saying Pun jacked Ned Flanders flow I was

I always thought it was overrated....I remember people going crazy over it and I was like

It started as a joke. He was saying it fukking around and Joe and the crew told him to incorporate it in the rhyme. Pun was a lyrical genius. If you rap/write verses, you can understand the skill involved. That verse was flames, the whole thing. The Pun slander in this thread period is wack.

Yeah, we can call out pun for a bunch of shyt but not his rhymes

Brehs just wanna be contrarians ITT

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Deck's verse on "Triumph"

Heads say that it's the GOAT, but it's lyrical spiritual babble looking back at it

GZA had the best verse and it was short as hell

I'm not slandering Pun, I think he was one of the greats. Just like no ones slandering Busta for saying his "Look At me Now" verse was a bunch of gibberish. It doesn't mean he's not great, it means that shyt was a bunch of nonsense.

There's dozens of other Pun verses that should get the shine that the Twinz verse does and that's what this thread is about, talking about what you think is overrated.

Sadly his best verse was on a album that no one bought:

Slap yourself. Twice. If I didn't think negging was gay, I would 100% neg you a few times.

It's not that overrated, though. No thinkpieces on it like the yearly Jay verse people dikkeat with fury. Not super high on best verse lists. People are just hating on "dead in the middle" as if the rest of what he said wasn't fire. It's a highlight, but there's nothing overrated about it.

Breh all that word jumble was sealed with

War of the masses, the outcome disastrous
Many of the victim families save their ashes
A million names on walls, engraved in plaques
Those who went back received penalties for their acts
Another heart is torn as close ones mourn
Those who stray, nikkas get slayed on the song

Dude painted the picture of those who fukk with the killa bees

Less is more

That takes nothing away from the sheer greatness that is Deck's verse. You have to understand the song structure and what Deck was there to do. He was there to set the song off, set the tone, and keep attention so you listen to the whole thing. He did that incredibly. Random cacs will start singing along to that if you start playing it, that verse is better than a lot of careers. Crowds will stop what they're doing to rap that verse. You can play it at a party and not fukk the thing up.

Rakim 7mcs verse. He's got way more that should've been talked about.

How is it nonsense?

He's telling a coherent story of a robbery that ultimately was a waste of time cause they were picking in some nobodies. Quick and to the point
