    I'm trying to compile a massive list of the top 100 rap verses of all time and I want your feedback.

    Criteria:
    1. Flow, lyrics, delivery, message, storytelling, personality and voice are the main factors.
    2. The artist needs to have had at least some kind of mainstream success or familiarity.
    3. No one artist can have more than 5 verses on the list (even more than 3 is a point of reluctance).
    Candidates: (There are not necessarily going to be the top picks of the list, but rather just ones that may make it to the list)
    • Victory (v1) - Notorious BIG
    • B.O.B. - Andre 3000
    • Hellrazor (v2) - Tupac Shakur
    • 99 Problems (v2) - Jay-Z
    • Winter Warz - Cappadonna
    • Fast Money - Big Pun
    • 5AM in Toronto - Drake
    • Lose Yourself (v3) - Eminem
    • One Mic (v2) - Nas
    • Triumph - Inspectah Deck
    • Juicy - Notorious BIG
    • Capital Punishment (v2) - Big Pun
    • Diamonds from Sierra Leone (Remix) - Jay-z
    • C.R.E.A.M. - Inspectah Deck
    • Dream Shatterer (v1) - Big Pun
