The list is verse specific and not based on the song, per se. More so verses with cultural significance that caused a moment. (ex: when I say Yonkers, you know I mean the first verse)
they've been trying to discredit this verse ever since it dropped
That first 2010’s hip hop “era” documentary gonna hit like crack but they haven’t even really done a good 2000’s one yet
No amount of fries in the pool or goofy tweets can take what this was in 2012-2015 away
Honestly, I'd say these:
Lil Wayne on 6 Foot 7 Foot
Busta Rhymes on Look At Me Now
Nikki Minaj on Monster
Drake on Tuscan Leather
Kendrick on Control Remix
Jay-Z on What's Free
Kanye's verses on Gorgeous
Lupe on Mural
Man...everybody and their mother was quoting that word for word when it came out.
I remember even my oldhead uncle in Brooklyn was trying to question some of the bars and my younger cousins were breaking it down for him.
