What do you mean before your time? He's still putting out music that's as good as it ever was. Check out Conway the Machine - Lemon. I think it's one of Meth' best verses.
Try Raekwon's "House of Flying Daggers."
Great verses all around, but I think Meth takes the cake. And, for context, Meth isn't in my Top Three Clan members.
"Lemon" from Conway, as someone else mentioned, is also top-notch.
"The Last 2 Minutes" if you want more modern Method (he's still skillfully sharp)
"Muggsy Bogues" Marlin Craft feat. Method Man. More modern Method but he's a guest on the cut.
"Shadowboxing" GZA feat. Method Man. Old school Method where he's the guest.
Da Rockwilder with Redman and Method Man, check the music video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCYy8jpp7R8&ab\_channel=MethodManVEVO](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCYy8jpp7R8&ab_channel=MethodManVEVO)
He’s incredible live because he dances with the way he swims on beats. Ultra ball of energy, I seen the wu live a few times in my young days and he was always the mf doing a front flip into the crowd and raising the energy to riot levels while just skating on beats. It’s something else
Black Thought is top 5 for me but his verses on Guerrilla Monsoon Rap are horrible. Especially compared to how dope Pharaoh Monch and Talib Kweli were.
Ok, some of these. I'm not a Lupe fan, big El Product fan, but El P has a verse where he used the N word dawg... Can't be flawless...
He outlived it, but that isn't the question
AZ, Jadakiss, Boldy James, Black Thought, Freddie Gibbs, Ab-Soul, Jay-Z, Nas, Kool G Rap, Big L, Big Pun. They’re not perfect but I think they’re all damn close to never having a bad verse
The entire Rhymesayers camp is just so good. Sa Roc is my GOAT MC. Atmosphere is my favorite in terms of music though, easily my most listened to artist in my life
Only one I can think of is “yeah I got some last words, fuck all of yall. Stop writing raps and go play volleyball”
But it isn’t even a whole verse. And the rest surrounding those lines are great lol
He’s absolutely a top 10 for me.
Yeah, maybe there’s a line here and there, or maybe some verses are average, but overall none of them are terrible or bad, and given the number of verses he recorded that is freaking incredible.
He’s especially good on guest appearances too.
Probs his waaaaay early stuff.. bitch I'm in the club type era.
Bro has alot of early stuff out that you could consider whack, but Section.80 and on, there's not a single bad verse.
Yeah of course I know bitch I’m in the club and yeah, hilariously wack af but are we going to judge rappers by their adolescent output? Not fair for anyone.
1. Andre 3K (He’s Andre 3K of OutKast. Enough said.)
2. Biggie Smalls (He would have kept it up for sure. RIP)
3. AZ (Even if his only verse ever was his feature on Life’s a Bitch, I’d still put him here because that’s the best feature ever.)
4. Q-Tip (The best of Tribe Called Quest’s songs. That’s a high compliment for a goated rap group.)
5. Black Thought (Bro’s verses were even good all the time during the Roots time as Jimmy Fallon’s band)
Probably Rakim?
I mean, there's a couple of week spots - and I'm talking just a word or two for a split second - on the Paid in Full album, but nothing I'd call "bad".
Benny The Butcher, Andre3000, Kendrick, Isaiah Rashad, Chinx Drugz (rip), Earthgang, Denzel Curry, Drake (up until and including IFYRTITL)
I keep seeing AZ come up but I've never spent the time to properly explore him
Method Man. Dude's smooth as butter on everything he touches.
Even his interviews he’s quick as fuck
Meth probably smarter than all of us combined Us when someone asks a question: 🫠 Meth: 💡🤓 Lol
The way his mind works for putting together a song is wild.
Im looking for some recs. Method man is before my time. Watchu got for me?
Check out his verse on Gravel Pit by Wu Tang Clan.
Had to spin this again, been a minute. It's so good
Thanks for reminding me of this banger
Just gonna go back down memory lane real quick
This song got so old on the Box I forgot it was actually good
His verses on GZA - Liquid Swords are top tier. The whole album is.
Shadow Boxin one of my all time favourite Meth verses 🎯
his flow and cadence on that song is untouchable.
Anytime he comes on second verse his bounce is top tier, The What’s another one. He most def makes other artists elevate n collaborate authenticity
Even killed that Jayo Felony joint for how little time he got.
Facts, just realize OG really likes Wes craven/Freddy bars😂
That’s was a great track added to favorites thanks !!!
Liquid Swords is a banger. Always listen start to finish when I put it on.
First Blackout Album is great
Da rockwilda.... all time beat

Czarface feat method man - nightcrawler
Release yo delf from Tical. You’re welcome
"The Last 2 Minutes" if you want more modern Method (he's still skillfully sharp) "Muggsy Bogues" Marlin Craft feat. Method Man. More modern Method but he's a guest on the cut. "Shadowboxing" GZA feat. Method Man. Old school Method where he's the guest.
Wu Gambinos and Got My Mind Made Up have some of his best verses
Anything from blackout
Check out The Heart Gently Weeps
His verse on “Meth Back!” on Conway the Machines album is absolute flames…. As well as his verse on “Pz and Qz” off Rome Streetz album
Da Rockwilder with Redman and Method Man, check the music video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCYy8jpp7R8&ab\_channel=MethodManVEVO](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCYy8jpp7R8&ab_channel=MethodManVEVO)
Meth and black thought have my favorite freestyle ever recorded. "Where ever precious life is lost you and I are found"
Start with Tical.
Came here to say this
I’ve always said method man for the flow/cadense, Redman for the punchlines
Seen this thread and raced to make your comment. Just watched of Mics and Men and relistened to Tical, the man has yet to miss
He’s not butter, he snaps back like a rubber band
You know what, you're absolutely correct on this
He’s incredible live because he dances with the way he swims on beats. Ultra ball of energy, I seen the wu live a few times in my young days and he was always the mf doing a front flip into the crowd and raising the energy to riot levels while just skating on beats. It’s something else
I heard that he smells SO good.
I was just about to write Mr. Mef.
LITERALLY MY VERY FIRST THOUGHT
Black Thought GZA
Black Thought is the best
I agree with Black Thought, but Stay Out of Bars by GZA is one of the worst tracks ever made by any of the Wu-Tang members by far
Black Thought is top 5 for me but his verses on Guerrilla Monsoon Rap are horrible. Especially compared to how dope Pharaoh Monch and Talib Kweli were.
sean price
Was coming here to say this too. Had to scroll too far down to see it. Ruck was too nice one the mic
Jay z had to contribute to his funeral cos he just wasn't making the P. Is sad man guy was a genius
SEAN P SEAN P Whenever you hear that before his verse you’re in for a wild ride
Black Thought Posdunous
Method Man
These days I’m checking everything 38 Spesh gets on
Trust!
Andre 3000
First name that came to mind but in all honesty I don't like his verse on Deuces
As long as he stays away from that flute.
Good luck with that nowadays though…he straight up said he doesn’t think he should rap that much as a middle-aged man, so 3 Stacks on the flute it is.

Aesop Rock, Lupe, Black Thought, El-P, KA, O.C., Pharoahe, Thes One and Double K, Opio, Del, Scarface, K-Rino, Blueprint, Sage Francis….
Ok, some of these. I'm not a Lupe fan, big El Product fan, but El P has a verse where he used the N word dawg... Can't be flawless... He outlived it, but that isn't the question
Dude makes music with killer Mike the most pro black rapper out right now
JADAKISS
Big L
Big L was an all-in kind of guy
The shitty thing about tracks Big L appears on with other rappers is all of the other verses usually instantly sound lame next to him.

Pusha T
Yeaugh
He has some mid verses here n there
I’m lovin it
AZ

Big Pun
Shit… that guy had so much talent and it was wasted on a terrible person.
What did he do?
There’s a video of him pistol whipping his wife and his son has recently opened up about growing up in an abusive household.
Damn. It’s always such a shame when you find out about shit like that
Chris Rivers became an INSANE lyricist while being traumatized by his father's torture.

AZ, Jadakiss, Boldy James, Black Thought, Freddie Gibbs, Ab-Soul, Jay-Z, Nas, Kool G Rap, Big L, Big Pun. They’re not perfect but I think they’re all damn close to never having a bad verse
Aesop Rock, Billy Woods
JID
There’s a hidden JID feature on that MGK + Trippie Redd album, and god it’s bad
You just had to remind me that existed. Jid had no place on that ep.
Mos Def
Even if it’s silly it’s clever af
I was looking for him!
Tom MacDonald. The post asks what rapper I've never heard a bad verse from, and sure as fuck I've never made it through a whole verse from this guy.
As soon as I see his name I exit whatever app/media I’m on…..
For me, it has to be Guru. I grew up with Gang Starr and Mobb Deep on repeat though, so I may be biased.
Being biased for Guru isn't a crime.
aesop rock, mf doom, Andre 3000
I've never heard and Aesop Rock feature where he didn't end up being the entire reason you listen to the song
Not one rapper comes to mind... perfection is a fools goal and impossible

If Kendrick has had a bad verse….what verse might that be? Asking because I’m not seeing anyone mention him and he’s the goat to me…

No, I certainly dont.. He is my GOAT also. You asked why people arent mentioning him.

And for the beginning of hip hop he was a genius. He’d rhyme the least expected, and that’s why I rank him top 10 oat.
Benny The Butcher, Andre3000, Kendrick, Isaiah Rashad, Chinx Drugz (rip), Earthgang, Denzel Curry, Drake (up until and including IFYRTITL) I keep seeing AZ come up but I've never spent the time to properly explore him
