Here's a list of the five best hip-hop/rap posse cuts as someone who knows ball. Read the article for my reasons, and my rankings for each verse (from worst to best). All of these songs are 10/10s by the way.


5. Monster - Kanye West, Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, Bon Iver (Justin Vernon)

This list simply wouldn't be complete without it. Everyone gives their absolute best with their verses. I'm not a huge fan of Nicki or Rick, but damn I would be lying if I said they didn't have great verses. I still think Kanye is a terrible human being, but damn his music is so good.

Honestly, it's a tie between Nicki and Kanye for best verse. This is honestly Nicki's only good feature, sorry (not really).

Monster verses ranked:

5. Rick Ross

4. Jay-Z

3. Bon Iver

2. Nicki Minaj

1. Kanye West

--------------

4. 1Train - A$AP Rocky, Kendrick Lamar, Joey Bada$, Yelawolf, Danny Brown, Action Bronson, Big K.R.I.T.

Insane beat produced by Hit-Boy (who has produced some of the greatest hip-hop songs of all time, such as Backseat Freestyle by Kendrick Lamar). Each verse feels like it just one-ups the previous one, until it gets to Danny Brown who just steals the entire show. Honestly one of his best features.

And also, I feel like people seriously underrate Big K.R.I.T.'s verse, and also Kendrick's and Bronson's.

1Train verses ranked:

7. Yelawolf

6. Joey Bada$

5. A$AP Rocky

4. Action Bronson

3. Kendrick Lamar

2. Big K.R.I.T.

1. Danny Brown

--------------

3. Sticky - Tyler, The Creator, GloRilla, Sexyy Red, Lil Wayne

I might be biased because I love Tyler, but damn this is a good song. The weird beat, each verse bouncing right off each other, it's perfect. Not my favourite off CHROMAKOPIA (as I could name many songs off that album that are way better), this is still a strong song.

And although Wayne is very much washed (I say this coming from someone who likes a lot of his music, especially Tha Carter series), his verse honestly might be the best, and he legit had 15 seconds.

Sticky verses ranked:

4. Sexyy Red

3. GloRilla (wish I could rank her higher, but Tyler just did it better)

2. Tyler, The Creator

1. Lil Wayne

--------------

2. Picture Me Rollin' - 2Pac, Big Skye, CPO, Danny Boy

I love Pac (rest in peace by the way), absolute legend, and honestly my favourite song by him. The beat is silky smooth, each verse is amazing, this is one of the best hip-hop songs of all time, and one of the best songs of all time just in general.

Picture Me Rollin' verses ranked:

4. CPO

3. Big Skye

2. Danny Boy

1. 2Pac

--------------

1. Really Doe - Danny Brown, Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, Earl Sweatshirt

Dear god this song might be one of the greatest things to ever grace my ears. The dark, eerie beat suits everyone involved. Especially Earl, as it fits his deadpan, monotone, and exhausted voice. Kendrick slides on just about any beat he's on. Ab-Soul's verse is so addicting. And Danny goes harder than he should.

The dark, industrial, grimy, dirty beat. The creepy twinkling synths. It honestly might be a top three best rap beat ever. No joke, no ragebait, I'm being completely honest.

Honestly the best song on Atrocity Exhibition, which is Danny's best album (just right behind Quaranta). Go listen to this song and album when you have the time to.

Really Doe verses ranked:

4. Ab-Soul

3. Kendrick Lamar (I hate to have one of my goats this low)

2. Danny Brown

1. Earl Sweatshirt

--------------

That's my list, hope you enjoyed :D
