[Real Rap Talk] Who Had The Best Verse On "Education"??

[Morose Polymath]

Me and the homey @Zero and couple of other brehs been debating this topic since Bandana dropped. Who ripped "Education" the best?? Lets discuss it :rocmarcy:


Mos Def:

They go in one way, they come out crazy
Peace preparatory school, emperors and conquerors
Pharaohs and followers
Goblins and monsterers
Stone heart jewels and gold for the fools
The bones of the innocent is buckles on they boots
The jail overcrowded, they emptied out the school
See the devil twitchin', ears itchin' from the truth
Strange fruit, cyanide, soufflé, and soup
It's tasty for a few and murder for the group
A dead-end street with a lemonade stand
Where is the sky in upside down land?
That question is hard if you can't see the stars
I'm really not sure, ask me tomorrow
I may not be here
I'm feelin' like I might just leave before I start a fire or a fight
Or both, but nah, son, I couldn't just chill
Everybody gigglin', that kid was gettin' killed
And I knew when I stood they would turn on me
And I don't need no more trouble with my sleep
So I did what I did and that's what it is
Tell the sheriff and the deputy I don't give a fick
Tell my mama and my kin and all of y'all and them, it's like this
Get free and stay sick
And that's it
An education

Black Thought:

Peace parishioners, onlookers, and listeners
Visitors keepin' the consumption conspicuous
Kids graduatin' from public schools and prisoners
Underprivileged, aboriginal, indigenous
Sent images of that family that got adopted
The president of some nonprofits is out of pocket
I heard the world ending is trendin', I tried to watch it
I focused on sinnin' when winnin' was not an option
The system we compete against is farm to table hand
Pickin' them ingredients, civil disobedience
Encyclopedia, definition of greediness
Gluttony, please take heed of who you treaty with
Me, Freddie, Flaco, and Shot never forgot though
That Plymouth Rock landed on top of new Morocco
Couldn't see who was firin' shots, the shooter got low
And left a burnin' cross on the lawn just like a pothole
I may not be here
I'm feelin' like I might just leave before I start a fire or a fight
They sayin the six bands are higher for the flight
So I may be a hitman for hire for the night
If you're figurin' this man's maniacal, you're right
Bar codes on the wristband, it's not an oversight
They intentionally expand, probably to extradite
If you wanna play blind, just look straight into the light
The puppeteers playin' you for spite
And worldwide, what we're payin' is the price
And that's life
An education

Freddie Gibbs:

Wooden leather buck talk
China white with cut talk
Kane train, a ho could never put me in a Slut Walk
Education, trap-onomics, narcotic plug talk
My hands was right back in the birds soon as they took the 'cuffs off
Gotta feed your fukkin' wolves or they gon' feed on a nikka
It's quite ironic how all this ice'll keep the heat on a nikka
My cousin beat me for a pack and I put the beam on a nikka
And I don't gotta finesse the plug because I Deebo that nikka
Used to be peace and O's, drop am opp like pop's stinky load
Last Friday hit by the pos, too dope in the commode
Got off the stove and slowed my role, I'm in the mosque now
But I'll still serve you a baked potato Bobby Johnson style
You ain't lit, you litter like Trump Twitter feed
Black mobster shyt, I'm more Melvin Willams than Genevieve's
Them fist fights had me swappin' blood with my enemies
You ain't from no set if you wasn't gangbangin' in Little League
I may not be here
I'm feelin' like I might just leave before I start a fire or a fight
A million fukkin' dollars a year just won't suffice
Got a factor in that more bad habits and the cost of life
Cost of life, uh
We stay so high, that's why we can't come up
My credit score is zero, I'm still pullin' Ranges up
Them cash counters is counteractive
The paper cuts gas by a pump like when Dominque used to lace some up
I changed it up, I pray the streets don't take what's left of me
Drugs for the free, soul sold separately
Education

Yeah. It wasn’t really clear to me until I read it. Gibbs got the most standout lines.

I didn’t read Mos’ verse because I didn’t want to accidentally take a nap :PHandsup:

I’m going with my guy Gangsta Gibbs. But if we got back to Extradition which is a Gibbs and Black Thought record, Thought bodies him on that.

I just started getting into that Plugs I Met after somebody told me a dude called 38 Spesh had one of the verses of the year. The shyt was dope.

But I haven’t had a real chance to really listen to the rest of it. I just kept replaying Sunday School

Mos Def. The real Madlib heads know we been waiting for this track for over half a decade. Planet Asia did "We Made It" which is fire and uses the same sample... Nas did Bonjour whcih was cool... but this the original. I don't need to hear nothin else this year. Solidifies the fact that goddamn Madlib/Mos Def album ain't ever coming out and I'm hurt by that brehs

I thought BT ran with it. Another show stealer on his run of features as of late. Mos Def still has it but his delivery is so subdued lately, people will sleep on what he's saying. Got Gibbs coming in last simply because somebody has to. No weak verses at all on this one.

But if we wanna get critical...every guest on Bandana washed him (Palmolive being the most egregious example), which is quite a feat considering how great the album is. Gibbs is dope, just don't put him beside someone with more to talk about (Black Thought), or somebody who has mastered the lane he's in (Push).
