Best opening to a verse?

[stardust]

Just wondering what people's favourite entries into verses are? BTW, I don't mean lyric wise, but more based on the delivery, originality, charisma, etc.

Off the top of my head I'd say Jigga on Kanye's Diamonds Remix where he cuts him off: "Yep . . . I got it from here 'Ye, damn". And also Krayzie Bone on the Don't Forget About Us remix, he flows flawlessly over that stuttering hi hat or whatever it is.

There's too many to name, there's alotta shit that just draws you in right away, example:

"I got Glad bags wit enemies, cut up so they rememba me, soak 'em wit Hennessey so they relatives know it's me"

- 2Pac in "Fuck Em All"

 

[AmerikazMost]

"I wrote this rhyme with a sharpie" - GZA, "Knock, Knock"

 

[ARon]

Nas on NY State of Mind. Yo I dont know how to start this..then just comes in and kills it. I read somewhere, some interview wiht Preme saying that is what really happened, he didnt know what he was gonna say and just did that, wasn't planned or anything just bam. Shit is tight.

[stardust]

C'mon, I didn't want ones chosen on solely on lyrics. Knew I should've said no Triumph answers in the criteria, lol.

 

[DutchMakaveli]

The nigga don't get mad, I got mad styles of my own/

GZA's verse on Guillotine.

 

[Fataldawg]

I shoulda been out I'm deadly when I pull the pen out/

2pac - niggas done changed

Hey! Now picture me rollin'
Biggie Smalls got his eyes swollen
My hands on my nuts, I gives a fuck, I'ma die holdin' 'em
Makin' these hoes pause, while schemin' on no drawers'
No money and ball, down to pussy, dick, and alcohol
Picture me rollin' (what) corny hoes get they holes dug
I might show 'em thug passion but I'll never show 'em love
Can't hit me in combat, relentless when I ride
Strategize on my enemies, plottin' till they die
Ask me why I'm high, and my reply "Till the day I die"
Don't wanna picture this cold world through sober eyes
Thugs don't die we multiplyConnect with the spirits of fallen homies and bustas, then we ride
Suprise niggas when they seen us, they duck down
(Hahahaha) 'cuz we anticipated endo and bust rounds
Fuckin' clowns still watchin' clips of I Get Around
Scream like a bitch when I beat 'em down
Niggas done changed


The bold parts is what I like the most about this verse.
