    There have been verses over the years that have been overhyped to the point of no return. One verse that comes to mind is Busta Rhymes' verse in Look At Me Now. All he did was rap fast. Everyone swore those were the best bars that year lol

    AND I GOTTA GO AND I GOTTA GET IT

    yea flow wise and technical wise he is better
    but his lyrics are so f---ing corny when compared to the s--- jay is saying

    Not a single line spit by eminem comes close to "how do u rate music that thug's with nothing relate to" or "That same dude you gave nothing, I made something doing"

    eminem comes in with talking about how white parents hate him lmao

    Jay's second verse was the best verse on the entire song.

    I had to hustle, my back to the wall, ashy knuckles
    Pockets filled with a lot of lint, not a cent
    Gotta vent, lot of innocent of lives lost on the project bench
    What you hollering? Gotta pay rent, bring dollars in
    By the bodega, iron under my coat, feeling braver
    Doo-rag wrapping my waves up, pockets full of hope
    Do not step to me I'm awkward, I box leftier often
    My pops left me and often my momma wasn't home
    Could not stress to me I wasn't growing, especially on nights
    I brought something home to quiet the stomach rumblings
    My demeanor thirty years my senior
    My childhood didn't mean much, only raisin greener
    Raising my fingers to critics, raising my head to the sky
    Big I did it multi(i) before I die (n-----)
    No lie, just know I chose my own fate
    I drove by the fork in the road and went straight.

    em's verse on renegade is really great, but i would also argue that it is overrated. too many people use the term renegade now to describe a guest feature owning a track, and that wasn't even the case for the actual song, as imo hova had the better verse.

    but kendrick in control is the best relevant example of an overrated verse
