Hurt Me Soul is a good choice, except the third verse is where it's at on that one.
Best rap verse ever?
- Thread starter bigakizzle
- Start date
I think there are far too many to pick the best. The best is also too vague, I feel there are some verses better in some aspects and some in others.
One of my personal favs (albiet cliche) is Nas` first verse NY state of mind.
In recent memory, I really like Big Boi`s first verse on Shutterbug, too

Shad - A Story No One Told
So he wrote every quote spoken
And left every breath kept
Sketched in the next step of concrete
Then Death crept and lead him to his bed
As the sun began to rise
He titled his surprise
“The Story of the Man that Died”
Then his wife and the townsfolk awoke and were shocked
First by his passing, but then by what he wrote with his chalk
They got the roads blocked by a flock of postmen and cops
He wrote from his lot to the edge of town close to the docks
Where he used to watch the boats and often joked with his pops
His folks had not long ago passed and now both with him walk
People came from everywhere
They read the story through for days
It wasn’t nothing new or strange
Still they were moved and amazed
It wasn’t the places he’d been or the people he’d met
It was the spaces between and the secrets he’d kept
They wept joyfully, for the greatest story no one told
Was just the story of an ordinary man growing old

Notorious BIG - Victory
In The Commision, you ask for permission to hit em
He don't like me, him and wild wifey was wit em
You heard of us, the murderers, most shady
Been on the low lately, the feds hate me
The son of Satan, they say my killin's too blatant
You hesitatin, I'm in your mama crib waitin
Duct tapin, your fam destiny
Lays in my hands, gat lays in my waist
Francis, M to the iz-H phenominal
Gun rest under your vest by the abdominal
Rhyme a few bars so I can buy a few cars
And I kick a few flows so I can pimp a few hoes
Excellence is my presence, never tense
Never hesitant, leave a nigga bent real quick
Real sick, brawl nights, I perform like Mike
Anyone -- Tyson, Jordan, Jackson
Action, pack guns, ridiculous
And I'm, quick to bust, if my ends you touch
Kids or girl you touch, in this world I clutch
Two auto-matoes, used to call me fatso
Now you call me Castro, my rap flows
Militant, y'all faggots ain't killin shit
Ooops Cristal keep spillin shit, you overdid it homes
You in the danger zone, you shouldn't be alone
Hold hands and say it like me
The most shady, Frankie baby, fantastic
Graphic, tryin to make dough, like Jurassic
Park did quick to spark kids who start shit
See me, only me
The Underboss of this holocaust
Truly yours, Frank White

ΛLIΛS '91
Lyrics to Exhibit A :
i spit that wonder ryhmer shit
me and my conglomerates
shall remain anonymous
caught up in the finer shit
get that type of media coverage obama get
spit that Kurt Vonnegut
that blow your brain kurt cobain
that nirvana shit
who gone bring the game back
who gone spit that Ramo on the train tracks
that gold rope that 5 finger ring rap
runnin with my same pack
you can find find the christ where the lepers and the lames at
life is like a dice game
one roll can land you in jail or cuttin cake blowin kisses in the rice ring
nice whip nice chain a closet of skulls
the stench is like slave blood in providence hall
they built my city on top of a grave
nigga die nigga get high and watch the parade
back then the early 90s
where they at where they at get the gat get the gat was a popular phrase
bally animals and rugbys was a popular craze
this the vivid memoirs of a obnoxious slave
i pave ways like nat and harriet
i blast on judas iscariot
and peel off in a chariot
im sittin pretty spittin flames grippin grain
aint a damn thing changed
they say candy man candy man spit me a dream
blow a chunk of the levy out and spit me a stream
knock a man house down and build a casin'
a two thousand dollar government check from FEM'
i swam down shits creek and came up clean
with a new lease on life like andy dufresne
its the most poetical
nat king unforgettable
clarence 13 extra large
rhapsody from bellevue
im splittin atoms spittin flames bringin change
thingsll never be the same
i got the rap game singin at last like etta james
lames get they plane shot down like john mccain
its a dream its a dream
the flows elagant like mrs. coretta scott king
a lot of kings seen death and turned queen
crack they 24 inch rims in the ravine
respect the architect never test the Elohim
good night this is jay elect live from new orleans
i spit that wonder ryhmer shit
me and my conglomerates
shall remain anonymous
caught up in the finer shit
get that type of media coverage obama get
spit that Kurt Vonnegut
that blow your brain kurt cobain
that nirvana shit
who gone bring the game back
who gone spit that Ramo on the train tracks
that gold rope that 5 finger ring rap

It's so impossible to choose, but the more I listen to it, the more I love 3000's verse on International Players Anthem. It's just raw, unique, deep and lyrical.
"So,
I type a text to a girl I used to see
Saying that I chose this cutie pie with whom I wanna be
And,
I apologize if this message gets you down
Then I CC'd every girl that I'd see-see around town
I hate to see y'all frown but I'd rather see her smiling
Wetness all around me, true, but I'm no island
Peninsula maybe
Makes no sense, I know, crazy
Give up all this pussycat that's in my lap no looking back
Spaceships
Don't come equipped
With rearview mirrors
They dip
As quick as they can, the atmosphere is now ripped
I'm so like a Pip
I'm glad it's night
So the light from the sun
Would not burn me on my bum
When I shoot the moon
High, jump the broom
Like a premie out the womb
My partner yelling too soon!
Don't do it! Reconsider!
Read some liter-
ture on the subject
You sure? **** it.
You know we got your back like chiroprac-
tic If that ***** do you dirty
We'll wipe her ass out as in detergent
Now hurry hurry
Go on to the alter
I know you ain't a pimp, but pimp remember what I taught ya
Keep your heart three stacks, keep your heart
Ay, keep your heart three stacks, keep your heart
Man, these girls are smart, these girls are smart
Play your part, play your part."
It's just perfect to me. That Gladys Knight and The Pips line is just crazy.
There a lot of raps that could make a list, I don't think it's fair to name just one as the best, though.

First verse of Das Racist's 'nutmeg'
Queens Boulevard, Kierkegaard, hustle hard,
hustle bustle OMG, on my guard, oh my god,
Vic came back with three pizzas, give one to
Dap, his stomach under-crowded, proud kid, young
Samaritan, f cuk a George Harrison, embarrassing,
sitars no comparison, looking garish, hit it
out the park, Roger Maris, plus Shea Stadium,
Flushing, Corona, chop shop pop rocks,
My Sharona, ginko boloba,
hold up, slow up, blow up, pull-o, vuck, get
smart again, it’s a cardigan, play the race card
again, and again, and again, drinks at Bennigan’s,
where’s Ralph Waldo, Ellison, person of
color, yall can’t see me. Shoot at you actors like a
DP, Erna Anastos, aspestos
apartments, smarter in a starter jacket, custom
compartments, illuminati, in my mind soul and
my body, pause, young Bobby, Digital
hobby, physical, that’s amazing, that’s amazing

Man I had Jay-Z's last verse on If I Should Die on repeat
(IF I Should Die) I'll tell BIG they're still hearing his songs
Running to Pac asking, Where we went wrong?
Tell him life is miserable when you're dealing with the physical form
Is everything thats invisible gone? I need to know
Will I still feel pain? Or will it be ironic
Can I chill in the flame with all the ills in my brain?
Can I reveal the game to all the hustlers trapped in the race?
And if so, can I leave this place?
Can I puff cigars and drink cristal?
If this is heaven to me, is this considered heavenly?
Can I still touch lives? Answer their whats and whys?
And make sure everybody in my fam clutch fives
If I should die.......Dont cry my niggas...
