It's about time someone pay homage to 3000s verse on elevators. That's one of the illest verses that I still remember so vividly. I still remember where I was when I heard it. 3000 one of the greatest.

Elevators (Me & You) OutKast - ATLiens (1996) Andre 3000s 2nd verse




Mr. Three Stacks was already flowing something crazy since he and Big Boi laid that Southernplayalistic music for your trunk. There is nothing too outerworldy about the track or the flow, but the beauty is in the simplicity of it all. Illustrating his position as a layman that has a superior rap ability with tongue and cheek chutzpah, [True I got more fans than the average man but not enough to loot to last me/To the end of the week I live by the beat like you live check to check, if it dont move your feet then I dont eat, so we like neck and neck], his job security is since no longer an issue.

I could do a lot of the top artists right now, but I'm gonna do my man Big L. This cat dropped so many jewels and his career ended way too short. Dude wasabout to sign to the Roc before he died and he might've really blew, RIP



BIG L- EBONICS

Yo, pay attention

And listen real closely how I break this slang sh*t down

Check it, my weed smoke is my lye

A key of coke is a pie

When I'm lifted, I'm high

With new clothes on, I'm fly

Cars is whips and sneakers is kicks

Money is chips, movies is flicks

Also, cribs is homes, jacks is pay phones

Cocaine is nose candy, cigarettes is bones

A radio is a box, a razor blade is a ox

Fat diamonds is rocks and jakes is cops

And if you got robbed, you got stuck

You got shot, you got bucked

And if you got double-crossed, you got f**ked

Your bankroll is your poke, a choke hold is a yoke

A kite is a note, a con is a okey doke

And if you got punched that means you got snuffed

To clean is to buff, a bull scare is a strong bluff

I know you like the way I'm freakin' it

I talk with slang and I'ma never stop speakin' it

VERSE2
Yo, yo

A burglary is a juck, a wolf's a crook

Mobb Deep already explained the meanin' of shook

If you caught a felony, you caught a F

If you got killed, you got left

If you got the dragon, you got bad breath

If you 730, that mean you crazy

Hit me on the hip means page me

Angel dust is sherm, if you got AIDS, you got the germ

If a chick gave you a disease, then you got burned

Max mean to relax, guns and pistols is gats

Condoms is hats, critters is cracks

The food you eat is your grub

A victim's a mark

A sweat box is a small club, your tick is your heart

Your apartment is your pad

Your old man is your dad

The studio is the lab and heated is mad

I know you like the way I'm freakin' it

I talk with slang and I'ma never stop speakin' it


VERSE 3
The iron horse is the train and champaign is bubbly

A deuce is a honey that's ugly

If your girl is fine, she's a dime

A suit is a fine, jewelry is shine

If you in love, that mean you blind

Genuine is real, a face card is a hundred dollar bill

A very hard, long stare is a grill

If you sneakin' to go see a girl, that mean you creepin'

Smilin' is cheesin', bleedin' is leakin'

Beggin is bummin, if you nuttin you cumin

Takin' orders is sonnin', an ounce of coke is a onion

A hotel's a telly, a cell phone's a celly

Jealous is jelly, your food box is your belly

To guerrilla mean to use physical force

You took a L, you took a loss

To show off mean floss, uh

I know you like the way I'm freakin' it

I talk with slang and I'ma never stop speakin' it





BIG L- DAY ONE

I went from standin on the corner sellin cocaine

To rippin shows live on stage, h*es yellin my name

To be precise rippin mics is the light of my life

You frontin like you trife but never pulled a heist in your life

The price of my ice is sky high, I'm a fly guy

Its every thugs dream, I really love cream, its in my blood stream

You mad cause I got more chicks than you, more bricks than you

More nines and extra clips than you

Where I live it ain't a nice town

You can't walk around with ice down

Some clown probably gettin stuck right now

Peace to D-I-T-C, Show and AG, Fat J-O-E

Diamond D, Lord Finesse and me

I'm from the East Coast, this is how we roll in New York

A bunch of rowdy n****s holdin the fort

Jackin creeps, packin heat, these Harlem streets is for keeps

Much love to all my peeps who got a couple of sheets
 
I think they tried not to repeat artists that is the reason for the omission of more BIG and Nas. They dropped the ball on the hov selection tho. The reasonPac is not on the list is because his trademark was his emotion and raw energy, not complex lyrics. 2 thumbs up on the Pun and Deck verses.
 
The list is pretty good. There's some stuff I might change, but overall they did a pretty good job.

Cube, Kings of Rock, Cappa, Deck, and Pun are some of my favorite verses. I would have thought about using Red's last verse from "How High".

Also, I agree with North Dade Represent about Busta on Scenario and Foxy on Affirmative Action. She just went above and beyond on that joint. And that mightnot be busta's best verse, but I would have wanted him on the list somewhere else.

My main gripe would be with the choice of Jay's verse. I think I would struggle to put that in HIS top 20.
 
ANYthing by AZ should NEVER EVER appear on a list of "Greatest" ANYthing . . . Or Twista, Camron, Jadakiss . . . Basically all of that dude upthere's list.

You're telling me that his Life's A %%!@# verseain't the truth?


And anybody who thinks 2pac has a top 20 verse all-time is out of their mind. He's in my top 5, but he may not have even a top 300 verse ever.
