The watcher part 2 by far. Rakim's verse was fuckin sick.

Watcher 1 definitely, it had a bigger impact on my Dr. Dre listening history. Plus, I played out that James Bond theme long time ago. But I agree, Rakim had the best verse out of all verses, Pt. 1 or 2.

at first i thought that the Watcher was much better than part 2, but then i noticed the new added elements. part 2 just has a different vibe than part 1; not sure which one i would prefer now.

Rakim was sick on the 2nd one, I still prefer the first one even the way Dre raps it kinda has that Rakim vibe to it so you can pretty much tell he wrote it and Dre delivered it perfectly

Cool thread.

I'mma go with The Watcher from 2001. Don't get me wrong Watcher 2 is a dope track and one of the best off of BP2, but it's a bit too long and I'm not feeling those James Bond effects.

i was always under the impression that jay wrote ,dre's verse. Em does background vocals, im also pretty sure at one point he was on a version of it.

I say that because at his concert in brixton back in 99 he did a "freestyle" over it which clearly wasnt a freestyle.

Just like with BP, the original definitely. Jay-Z's flow was sick as hell, and Rakim came hard as hell on part two, and it just sounded good to hear the beat twisted. However, the message of the original track, especially with it bein #2 on the album, was just more than perfect.

I think you summed it up perfect.  The lyrics on part 2 are awesome, but part one just works so perfect on "2001" as an album track.
