everybody kills it but RBX verse is so catchy for some reason
http://youtube.com/watch/v/uvs38s84S3w
[Verse One: RBX]
While childish MC's battle over coastal fronts
I come with no fronts and smash in monkey fronts
If you want to be evil like Knieval then jump
I guarantee your punk ass catch the speed lump
The tactics, extract, morbid thoughts from the mental
custom designed, for instrumental
Yes indeedy, lyrical graffiti
And this one's a burner, baby
Truck, like Toyata driven
True and livin drivin with the gat
Uhh, pop the clutch, let the Cold Crush rush
Then I flush wack material
That's if I don't mash them all to mush
Hush, let me burst, dare I gush
Cock-diezel cuts
Lyrical arsenal equivalent to arsenic
[Verse Two: KRS-One]
Yo, why do they make me wanna ruin they career?
Before I bust your shit let's get one thing clear
Don't provoke Kris no joke this
I don't ride no rapper's nutsac yo I stay focused
Beefin without skills seekin will only weaken
The artist speakin over beats and, you be cheatin
Cacaphony of small talent rappers, claimin a coast
over instrumentals, ain't got no real street credentials
Here come the philosopher hip-hopppin ya correctly
Ignorant ass MC's continue to tempt me
Lyrics be empty like Alcatraz cellblock
Too many MC's rappin causin lyrical gridlock
Lyrical syllables interlock in my voicebox
Yet I'm still unknown like the X on Sadat
Just your typical, non-topical
Flex the optical illusion weak metaphoric style you be usin
I check one-two's and who's in the house
Like shit your lyrics ooze out ya mouth
Whattyou think this is? KRS-One from the Bronx kid!
[Verse Three: B-Real]
The most scandalous, cut the bad apple, we can handle this
Coast trippin goin on through out the business
East Coast West Coast anybody killer!
I don't give a fuck where you from I'ma Killa Hill-er
I got crews on both sides together
Deeper than the ocean and down for whatever
Fool I can roll through any block
from Central to Westland Avenue, without my glock
But some niggaz can't survive on both sides
So they try and break off, eliminate ties
Fools got to get wise, better realize
True, enemy lies killin in the highrise
office, analyzing the song
Look at them red niggaz, don't even get along
Kill that noise, four niggaz bringin the skill
Mad caps get peeled if you oppose the Hill
[Verse Four: Nas Escobar]
Now when I bomb like Sadaam, the world feels The Wrath of Khan
Desert Storm in this modern day Babylon
I be the twelve disciples strap arms
All black on running your spot hit the safe and I'm gone
Like a thief wrong, I keep the long 38 warm
Silent and calm, and blackout when the beef is on
Focus on your rap holsters, notice
I'm evil like the Exorcist to the locusts
Ferocious thoughts, are mergin at night
Like Jehovah towards the virgin in white
I'm wrapped in a turban for spite
Like a Israelite snatchin hoes up, my flow's up
When the fuckin world blows up throw your hands up
It's a holdup, frontin like you down for the real
to make a meal, but when plan fold, nigga you squeal
like Heavy Heel, but what's the fuckin deal?

They all got dope verses, can't choose which one is the best though...

All the verses are dope, but I think Nas drops his greatest verse on this track.
To me, this may be the greatest and most important hip-hop track ever. The reason I say that is because of Dre's vision and foresight; many people thought he was a fool for leaving Death Row empty handed (getting nothing from his 50% share of ownership) at a time when Death Row was on top of the music industry. But Dre ended up being the smart one, he spoke out against the East Coast West Coast beef and took a stand against violence in hip-hop, and made moves to replace bangin on wax with raw talent, creativity, and great lyricism. This was his statement record. And it was so large it went over the industries head. Many people missed it. But just after this track came out, 2pac was murdered, Death Row's ship sank, and hip-hop faded into it's shiny suit and Master P era. So this song represents hip-hop's last great climax, Summer of 96.
The theme of this track was apocalyptic, a one world government takeover, martial law, hip-hop undersiege... and Nas verse fits this theme perfectly, he references prolific figures in world polotics (when I bomb like Sadaam) world history (the world feels the rath of Khan) the last major war (desert storm in this modern day Babylon), and when the whole world blows up he tells you to ("put your hands up"). This verse is gigantic, it's a monster, Nas killed it... this track is larger than life.

Nas

I think they're all dope as fuck, too hard to choose one. I wonder if Group Therapy recorded anything else that's in the Aftermath vaults somehwere.

If Group Therapy produced by Dre ever recorded an album for Aftermath it would of easily been the greatest album ever.

between the Narrator and Nas for me on this, I give Nas the slight edge but RBX never dissapoints when it comes to guest spots one of the best in that area
-
thx 4 tha rmx.
-
KRS ONE, he smashes it. the opening lines to his verse still stick in my memory.
-
the beat could be better.
-
KRS-One
take off RBX and B-Real, add a Dre verse, then it would be a classic
-
I'd say Nas, followed by RBX, followed by B-Real, followed by KRS-One. Putting him last is a bit unfair though when only looking at lyrics, I just don't like his 'screaming-at-the-top-of-your-lungs'-style.
