Dude, it was a good verse, but it wasn’t even the best verse on the album.

damn dude do you listen to hip hop?
Your hood pass is hereby revoked. Top 20 what? Never that. And even if it were, all credit goes to Safaree for writing the verse. Fuck outta here. Your frame of reference is suspect. She doesn’t even have one verse that’s better than any of Jean Grae’s catalog. I can name 20 songs just by female emcees that destroy…
My man, what you’ve just described is a “one-hit wonder.” People always bring up Juicy because it’s one of BIG’s best known songs. But BIG’s whole catalog is filled with dope rhymes. Nicki’s verse on Monster was great. Not top-20 great, but it was great. But name 5 other verses of hers that are as good. I’ll wait.
Awful awful opinion, shit stinks. No one who knows lyricism gives a goddamn about a throw away rhyme from “Monster”. That fact you quoted and compared it to mad commercial songs, many of which aren’t all that lyrically impressive, let’s us know you swim in the shallowest of pools. Comparison with “Juicy”? Fuck outta…
i guess i just don’t find her style to be technically good...its like Drake and Wayne to me all flash no substance or structure for that matter...i also hate Young Money because everything they’ve done..so maybe that clouds my judgment a little but only a little
The best verse in hip hop is probably something you’ve never heard since you’re just listings songs that got play on the radio. There’s a big amount of subjectivity that goes into it, but not enough to allow for that Monster verse to be considered the best—of ALL TIME mind you, not the last 15 years, as you put it. As…
Top 10 best verses? Eminem has 10 better verses in the first 3 songs of *pick an album*.
Are you actually trying to tell us that something Nicki Minaj said 6 years ago is one of the top 10 verses OF ALL TIME? You must be out of your fucking mind. I can find 20 verses better than that without even hearing what that chick had to say.
also i think you are confusing popularity for lyrical quality...all of this is almost entirely subjective anyway...but just sayin’
truth...not one verse that any “rapper” in Young Money wrote will ever grace a real top 10 list...especially aubrey
biggie hated juicy and noone exlcusively brings it up when referencing biggies lyrical greatness so poor example...also there are conflicting accounts of whether she wrote that verse herself...feel free to name any one of her other top 10 “Juicy” tier verse if you’d like
Top 10?! Top 10 what radio verses? Even then that is extremely questionable. If you mean top 10 in hip hop then hell no! Even compared to individual artists it wouldn’t make a top 10 list
I think it’s telling that anytime someone wants to mention that Minaj is a “technically proficient rapper”, or some such thing, they always and exclusively mention the Monster verse. It’s undeniably good, even really good, but 6 years is a long time to coast on one verse...
