Favorite verse of the year?

Such a fruitful year for hip hop. Picking a favorite album was super difficult (I landed on the new Freddie Gibbs joint) but there was one verse in particular that’s been stuck in my head all damn year.

For me, Lil Wayne’s verse on Benny’s “Big Dog” is top shelf. Maybe not the most thought provoking verse, but damn it is so hard. It’s a classic example of why Weezy was at the top for so long. Wildly good flow, and wordplay with a centralized theme based on the song title. This verse certainly makes me feel a bit nostalgic for mixtape era Wayne.

What are your favorite verses of the year?

Edit: The good folks of the hiphopheads community reminded me that Big Dog was released as a single in Nov. 2023. I’ve still had that mf on repeat all 2024 nonetheless. Apologies for the blunder, but please keep the righteous submissions and discussion coming! Planning to create a playlist with everyone’s favorites to start 2025 with. (:

Edit 2: As promised, here is a (spotify) playlist of everyone's submissions, roughly sorted by most upvotes. Would love it if any of our apple music folks could help recreate the playlist for that platform. Happy new year everyone!
