Illest Masta Killa verse Pre-"Forever"

**claaa7** · 10-21-2011, 05:10 AM

Compared to the other generals overall had very few verses from "36 Chambers" upto "Wu-Tang Forever". But every single one he spit was just super sick, his shit on "Snakes", "Da Mystery of Chessboxin" and "Glaciers of Ice" - mindblowing stuff. So what's your personal favorite of these? I bet alot of peeps will say "Chessboxin'..." on the strength of it being an incredible verse and also Masta's first plus it stands out as it's his only apperance on the LP... but personally i think most of the other verses here are on the same level as that, so it's a tough decision. i might have to go with "Snakes" but I need to think about it.

Good thread. coz as you say each one wasn't just sick - they were super sick. Haha llike that - and its just the truth.

Asassination Day. Super-poised nastiness that one.

I voted for "Duel of the Iron Mic", but "Chessboxin'" is really close behind that.

MK's consistency was really incredible in this era.

Assasination day. Perfect for MK's style. Went beautiful together.

Voted "Glaciers of Ice". His slow tempo works so well on that together with Rae and Ghost.

**djskillz** · 10-22-2011, 01:59 PM

I chose Snakes because of his flow on that verse and how well he handled his tempo on that beat. Honestly it was really hard to choose haha. This just reminded me how amazing MK really was
