When people heard Jay Electronica’s “Exhibit C”, it was like a neutron bomb went off… cats was mad when he didn’t make music for 10 years cause they love that song so much!!!!

[@Dologaming24]

I was about to comment this. When you think about It he’s literally In the conversation for top Emcees off that song. He’s like a poster child’s for this topic.

[@BSideRapReviews]

Exhibit C came on while I was in the car with my girl last week and I spent 10 mins explaining to her how hard hit the streets when it dropped….I just showed her your comment to drive the point home 😂

[@youngchief31]

@@BSideRapReviews and an underrated part about this: New York and Philly cats was claiming this dude as the savior of East Coast music despite him being from Louisiana!!!!

[@prograham2222]

Very true!

[@fernandoreyes680]

This the one that immediately came to mind

[@LookingForAName...]

Andre 3000 off of Aquemini. Two of my favorite verses ever for drastically different reasons. 1st for the imagery and metaphors. 2nd for the rhyme schemes and flow. In that song alone, 3K exhibits all the qualities needed to be in the GOAT conversation.

[@LookingForAName...]

Exhibit C is as close as you get to an objective answer to that question, because. That song alone IMMEDIATELY put him in conversations he didn't belong, you would start seeing him pop in top all time lists. That was a moment in hip hop.

[@BullyOG]

This was my thought.

[@Nomorequestionz62]

Great answer I got one for you tho. Kendrick Lamar Cartoons and Cereal

[@thesten6982]

Have missed these conversations, the live shows you've been doing are good but nothing beats this classic dead end video style. The audio is on point and the energy is good

[@dolphinking1417]

The classic vids are the best

[@MosaicButterfly]

I agree with Rod on Kendrick's "Control" verse. He climbed the throne with that one and threw down the gauntlet to all his peers. The competitive spirit in Hip-Hop was so stale at the time, he legit sent a shockwave through the culture. Someone else in the comments mentioned "Heart Pt. 5" as well. That piece of art has a message that is so culturally imperative. And I know ppl love to hate Em, but "Darkness" is a modern storytelling masterpiece to me. Damn-near (if not all the way) perfect, with a brilliant balance of technical yet substantive writing 🤌🏾 I think this song alone solidifies him as one of the 🐐's.

[@its_nat_I_guess]

Murals- Lupe Fiasco

[@maddox9511]

And it’s not even close

[@TheOneKeyToLife]

Rod was in his bag on this one. Exhibit C and Murals are great examples

[@deecool47]

AZ in Life's a Bitch had the greatest verse in hip hop history

[@dmoody4628]

[@ghostlyripper4403]

Nah. Nas had better verses on that album

[@mrchaotiq]

Visualizing the realism of life in actuality.........

[@jerrylanes8354]

Life’s a bitch is the most quoted song in hip hop history

[@oliverwashington96]

Na Bun b murder verse is legendary, my favorite verse ever.

[@___M99]

Danny Brown - 30 That verse just captures everything that makes hip hop great to me in one verse

[@Gintoki_Madao]

"tears in my eyes lemme get this off my chest" That voice crack 😭

[@ryleighrage]

Beat me to it.

[@HeavenOrHell74]

I completely agree brother. I'm at the age of 40 and the passion behind his delivery on that track is phenomenal to me. Great song to workout to as well

[@jerrylanes8354]

Danny is the black Eminem

[@LookingForAName...]

Props to Myke for mentionning Platinum Plus. BDK's closing line's still one of my favorites ever.

[@publicenemyb]

lupe - mural kendrick - sing about me ab-soul - book of soul vince - when sparks fly bun b - murder

[@Zach-lc6bs]

when sparks fly is such a good vince pick

[@jerrylanes8354]

Book of soul always makes me cry but Huey knew is fucking genius

[@jerrylanes8354]

And threatening nature is some outta this world

[@tropical9913]

The Notorious B.I.G. with Juicy. Flawless, catchy hook, incredible verses and almost no cussing either!

[@karimshuman9548]

Andre 3000 last verse on Aquemini Mos Def - Mathematics Aesop Rock - Rings

[@iamOTHER44]

Andre’s verse on Intl. Players Anthem is still amazing. One of the best features of all time

[@professorXcross]

Good answer. No bassline needed

[@jerrylanes8354]

His verse on t.I.’s sorry song🔥🔥☄️

[@rishiarjun9045]

that's not even in my top 5 Andre verses

[@markdennyjr.1939]

A few that comes to mind: Benny - Crowns for Kings Drake - Tuscan Leather Jay Z - The Dynasty Intro Rick Ross - Devil in a New Dress Andre 3K - Sixteen Lil Baby - Wants and Needs Jay Elec - Exhibit C

[@sunflowersamurai10]

sixteen fucking hell... andre 3000 might as well be the goat off that feature verse alone

[@nicholaswoollhead6830]

Tuscan Leather is a great call for Drake. I was thinking 0-100 but Tuscan leather stands stronger by itself

[@officialsonic1]

Lil Wayne -GOSSIP

[@kpenn213]

1. Bizzy Bone's verse on "Notorious Thugs" 2. KRS One "My Philosophy" 3. Cappadonna's verse on "Winter Warz" 4. Big Pun's verses on "Deep Cover '98" 5. Redman "Tonight's Da Night" 6. The D.O.C. "Mind Blowin'" 7. 2Pac "All Eyez On Me" 8. Biggie's verse on "Can't Stop The Reign" 9. Scarface "Now I Feel Ya" 10. C-Murder "Where I'm From"

[@gc033]

Redman Tonight’s Da night That beat is crazy🔥

[@luddman77]

good list

[@punszu]

Pun on deep cover is a good shout, that Italy scheme is so iconic

[@MetalCooler_1000]

That's a good Scarface song

[@pserrin0824]

Caps verse on Winter Warz is a top 5 verse…he just keeps going.

[@JrFlip500]

Heart Pt 5 never ceases to amaze me every time I hear it. His flow is incredible

[@austyn8942]

Myke only picked Platinum Plus because Big L says, "C-Town" in it

[@henrymarr974]

RA the Rugged Man’s verse on Uncommon Valor: A Vietnam Story immediately came to mind! That verse gives me goosebumps to this day, and the flow is something else! Also: Book of Soul - Ab Soul Mural - Lupe Eminem - Renegade Pusha T - Drug Dealers Anonymous El-P (Company Flow) - The Fire in Which you burn

[@crackswareg135]

My picks off th e top of my head Jay Electronica- Exhibit C (CRAAAZYYYY) Kendrick Lamar- Sing About Me (one of the greatest written and thoughtful hip hop songs I’ve ever heard in my opinion) Eminem- Stan Lupe Fiasco- Mural (absolutely insane verse)

[@johnmarston3395]

the thing is if Sing About Me was Kdots only song it would not make sense as GKMCs story would not be around so people would not fw it as much

[@Dbrig777]

Mural definitely that one from Lupe in my eyes

[@ImInYourBrains]

Everybody saying Mural but nobody really speak on why. Lupe's imagery in his Mural, the interweaving of several schemes (like 6-7 schemes) each of which Lupe keeps going with through the whole track with even single lines interweaving like three of them. The embedded riddles and double/triple entendres and even the overall message, all within a nonstop 8 minutes of lyrical beatdown. You know its something special when you hear others like Logic and Royce Da 59 try to go off on the same beat and fall way short not because their raps arent good but because of how high Lupe set the bars.

[@jtr1019]

Thing is…Lu does this sh*t commonly. Of course he went crazy on Mural, it’s his Mona Lisa for sure…but it isn’t like he transformed; He just stepped it up a gear from his usual.

[@lykaios313]

In no particular order: 1. Inspectah Deck on anything but particularly on Above the Clouds. 2. Royce on greed 3. Andre on international players anthem 3.5 Andre on Mighty"O"

[@braddyoung3523]

thank you Myke, Rhinestone Cowboy is my favorite DOOM track, "enought rhymes to spread throughout the boundless universes" RIP

[@julien9602]

I'm so glad Myke talked about that Kane verse. It's been one of my favs for years and I always thought it was overlooked.

[@Leviathanrko]

Despot’s feature in tougher colder killer. Always had me fiendin for more

[@___M99]

Mr Muthafuckin Exquire on Oh Hail No

[@switz6141]

How'd you like his verse on Versailles? I go back to that feature constantly.

[@srtoushh.9773]

The second I read the title Nas N.Y. State of Mind came to my mind. I was hoping someone would mention it.

[@switz6141]

Man I haven't seen the El P interview yet but when I saw the topic for this video I honest to God chose his verse from Last Huzzah, that was around the time I got into both El P and Danny Brown, that remix blew my mind. Despot was on there too, and just showed back up in immaculate form on Aethiopes last year.

[@NotorV23]

When I heard “the rules” of the conversation my mind immediately went to mural like rod, so when he said it, i was like ecstatic. Also props to the exhibit c pick cause even in the song people was mad he wasn’t dropping music lol

[@BigClipps]

I think it goes unsaid but the underlying background music yall have in every video really sets this cool laidback vibe. Really appreciated

[@BullyOG]

Jay Electronica - Exhibit C Lupe Fiasco - Mural Nas - I Gave You Power Biggie - Gimme the Loot K-Rino - The Grand Deception Big Pun - Twins

[@franklythisisapseudonym3454]

Nas: Verse: Verbal Intercourse Songs: It Aint Hard To Tell, Take It In Blood

[@RKfMaster]

This was a much more interesting conversation than from what I thought the title was saying..I thought it was saying who's a rapper who if you chose a single song would be considered the GOAT in rap.

[@Casper15CTRP]

Same

[@alejandromarmolejo13]

Thats what they did?

[@originalmoneybuckets]

The track that immediately came to mind for me is O.C.’s “Times Up”. Such a hard hitting song and still has that effect to me over 25 years later… “YOU LACK THE MINERALS AND VITAMINS!”

[@matthewallen1834]

Songs: Follow the Leader - Rakim 75 Bars - Black Thought (The Roots) Stakes is High - POS (De La Soul) Verses: Triumph - Inspectah Deck Sixteen - Andre 3000

[@RKfMaster]

Ask and you shall receive! Another DEHH conversation!!🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@aaronhill2572]

Myke scrolling on insta while Feefo was talking had me laughing harder than i shoulda been especially since no one else noticed what he was doin 😆 14:00

[@unhelpfulrevelations7989]

I immediately am thinking of Mr. Fantastik and the two verses he did for DOOM songs, Anti-Matter and obv Rapp Snitch Knishes. Only material I've heard from the guy and yet I think about those verses all the time

[@beinerthchitivamachado9892]

Rod KILLED IT with every answer. Lupe's Mural, Jay Elec's Exhibit C and King Kendrick's Control Verse are GOATED.

[@Gintoki_Madao]

- Last verse of Bad guy by Eminem - Lupe fiasco's Mural

[@justsaying4488]

Bad guy last verse is such a great pick.

[@regirayquaza]

Big Sean and Kendrick have the song Holy Key together off a DJ Khaled album which was back in 2016

[@silentsage2462]

Kendrick - Never Catch Me

[@QuandaleDingleBarnacleJonesIII]

[@Zach-lc6bs]

black thought - twofifteen earl sweatshirt - azucar

[@danielblair2684]

Kendrick with Sing About Me / I'm Dying of Thirst. Runner up for me would be Daveed Diggs, probably with Story 2 or Blood of the Fang for a showcase of pure technical skill.

[@tariqpittman]

[@dfrnt_hues]

J.Cole on Looking for Trouble! When I first heard that I was like he’s best and he just 💩on all these dude. EDIT: I’m with Feefo Ross on “Devil in a New Dress” is amazing. I’d believe he’s actually the New Biggie if someone told me off that 1 version.

[@coolin4now]

I hear what Mike is saying about Westside Gunn. You look at his earlier work and his flow was crazy on songs like Eric B.

[@sutter_kane_2689]

I’m glad these convos are back fr tbh ngl imo

[@eric3483]

Kind of cheating since it's a group track, but Black Star's Respiration gotta be up there. Talib, Mos, and Common all had unbelievable verses and it's one of my favorite beats ever.

[@sunflowersamurai10]

Talibs flow on that track was crazy

[@boodastillstanding2636]

[@Jay-ob8ip]

Thuggin is my shit

[@trentr8998]

Welcome to Jamrock by Damian Marley. Get By by Talib Kweli. Uncommon Valor by RA the Rugged Man

[@TrillyThough]

[@unhelpfulrevelations7989]

Booty Brown who raps on Gorillaz' "Dirty Harry" blacks tf out on his verse too, "I'm a peace-lovin decoy ready for retaliation" like come on. Another one of those verses that I think is just legend status

[@ollie511]

Maybe "Dance With The Devil" by Immortal Technique. I could maybe think of a better one if I thought about it more

[@DosSantos_leyenda]

It may not be for everyone but ima go with Del the funky Homosapien’s verse off of “Clint Eastwood” by Gorillaz . Just with that alone everyone knows the voice and the verse. I’m afraid to say it’s bigger than Hiero but at one point I felt like it was.

[@Ryda124]

That is a fantastic question. I actually have to think about it really deeply and still don't have a definite answer. I would say my top votes are MF DOOM with Great Day (or All Caps possibly) Jay Electronica with Exhibit C Lupe Fiasco with The Coolest If just verses are allowed, Andre 3000 with Sixteen I feel like Jay Z and Nas should be on here too but I can't think of a track that encapsulates their whole catalogue for either of them
