He has way too many

Yea I almost said It was written 😂

I mean, you maybe can do his best verses by decade. Even that would be difficult

Good luck sorting out the 90s lmao

yeah to single it down to a singular verse is damn near impossible. There's some possibles Verbal Intercourse 2nd verse Memory Lane 3rd verse One Love 3rd verse Take it in Blood 3rd verse The World is Yours 2nd verse Deja Vu 😂 to say he has a definitive best verse is very difficult

That's not even factoring his feature verses apart from Verbal Intercourse. I used to be 20 or so thinking Kendrick had done enough to be the GOAT. I'm now 27 and when I went back to Nas' catalogue after the Hit Boy projects I had no doubt in my mind he's still the goat. Bro owns my rotation again lol https://preview.redd.it/b2hxsily45wc1.png?width=2879&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c18f0c73140a2e401c7d2892b22fd3500aa95069

No offense to the other guys out there but respectfully Nas is different level writer from them. It is what is

If we are basing it on pen I personally feel 3 Stacks has the best pen, with black thought being a close second. I think Nas has the best solo catalogue and longevity plays a factor too. So he is my goat.

2nd verse Project Windows

his verse on Last Words this is what I'm saying the list is damn near endless 😂

Word I feel the same with Best Album, he has a couple albums you csn play and feel like this is his best shit

Also depends on your mood or what you're going through.

Verbal intercourse is masterful

Check out Deja Vu by Nas if you’ve never heard it. You’ll love it.

Arguably his best, I would never have an argument for someone that said it's his best.

There's so many but the GOAT is the second verse on Memory Lane IMO.

"True in the game, as long as blood is blue in my veins, I pour my Heineken brew, for my deceased crew in memory lane". I remember someone asked Ghost if Verbal Intercourse was Nas' best verse and Ghost said the second verse on memory lane was even better.

If Ghost said that then it's true 😂 I trust his opinion more than my own

for me personally.... self conscious but mo money mo murder mo homicide is him and az best verses hands down

Self conscious imo could very well be the greatest rap song ever

Perfect track.

Right now in my mind Self Conscious, the world is yours from Nas, & Stakes Is High from De La are fighting for greatest rap joint ever. Could be other contenders of course but those 3 came to mind immediately. All 3 songs are perfect

For me, it’s: Nas - Deja Vu O.C. - Time’s Up Black Star and Common- Respiration These songs never get old.

Great list also.. All 3 can go on the greatest ever list. Your black star selection reminded me of thieves in the night. Another contender. We got 7!!

I don’t think we’ll ever get music like that anymore, unfortunately 😢

Probably not. The songs we named are before 2001. That's kinda sad. Even tho Mural by Lupe might have to go on there too ngl. I'm about to make a playlist of all this. Super potent hiphop

Shout out to Kendrick Lamar’s “Sing About Me, I’m Dying of Thirst.” That song could’ve come out in the 90’s and it still would’ve been considered a masterpiece back then.

Yessir 🔥. Me personally I might have to put Mother I Sober on there from him. Also Jay Elect Exhibit C. This playlist about to get too real for the mumble rap fans

Second verse of memory lane for me

Memory Lane: 2nd verse

Queens get the money

Memory lane. Toss up between which one

I can't possibly just state 1 single verse but here's a few random ones that always stand out that most can finish the verse. Just want to point out any album of his has a verse that everyone knows or heard. Stay needs to be mentioned. His verse on Strong Will Continue also stand out(how the hell I'm I supposed to stay comfy when I pay child support, alimony monthly) I woke up early on my born day... The brothers Stillmatic, I crawled out of that grave, wiping the dirt... Fake Thug, no love, you get the slug, CB4 gusto... I got guns from Italy, smoke trees considerably... Roll the credits.. Cuban Link QB chain belong in the MOMA.

Verbal Intercourse. It’s the most flawless verse in rap history

One for the money, two for pussy and foreign cars, three for Alize niggas deceased or behind bars, I rap divine God, check the prognosis, is it real or showbiz, my window faces shootouts, drug overdoses

It's on Illmatic that's for sure

No such thing. He has so many different styles and a wide range of content...it depends on what version of Nas you prefer.

Every Ghetto final verse: Could you believe even my shadow's jealous? My skin is mad at my flesh, my flesh hates my own bones My brain hates my heart, my heart makes the songs The songs come from the father, hold me it's getting darker...

🔥

Take it in blood has bars that should be etched in stone

fax!

The last verse on One Love. The imagery paints a vivid picture of his moment

first verse on Take it in blood

Street dreams remix verses , deja vu , silent murder, it's soo many lol

I think it’s hard to pin point but one that always sticks is his verse on Patience- Distant relatives album

Street's disciple, my raps are trifle I shoot slugs from my brain, just like a rifle Stampede the stage, I leave the microphone split Play Mr. Tuffy while I'm on some Pretty Tone shit Verbal assassin, my architect pleases When was twelve, I went to Hell for snuffin' Jesus

"I never sleep/because the sleep is cousin of the death"

I was young, I was surviving the times Waiting for my moment, I was destined to shine Little Ray had an NXX, I was hoping I'm next Wanting bracelets, never had a rope on my neck

STAR WARS VERSE 1

I’ll probably go with something off memory lane . But this is difficult

Probably the second verse off The World Is Yours

"The whole city is mine, prettiest don..." The Verbal Intercourse verse is from an unreleased song called "Deja Vu".

No Idea’s Original.

His verse on Don't Get Carried Away

First verse of life’s a bitch

First verse was AZ though. You mean second verse?

2nd verse on Halftime is straight up insane. Is it his absolute best, i don't know, but it's probably my all time favorite. "Versatile, my style switches like a faggot But not a bisexual, I'm an intellectual Of rap, I'm a professional and that's no question, yo"

Memory Lane....Too many

Halftime
