Raekwon's un-Raekwon verses on The Sun, Can It Be...., Spot Rusherz, CREAM,...

[Ghost In The 'Lac]

I wish we had more Chef verses like this around like a single topic, or story, he's really fucking good at it. He usually stream of consciouses it going from topic to topic at random based around some general feeling or topic. But I think this style works for him almost better.

Post more Chef "story verses"



The most obvious other one is Can It Be All So Simple, which incidentally is also one of his best ever verses







And another of his best, CREAM

[Rev Jones]

first off, nice new avatar

secondly, I agree with you

here's a story telling song I've always liked

[Ghost In The 'Lac]

^ahhh good one

[Ghost In The 'Lac]

Pam sucking his dick, Maxine Al Greened him/
Screaming, slipped in piss, he ran in the seed's room/
Grits down cryin' aight with his balls out/

"Al Greened him - On October 18, 1974, Al Green’s girlfriend, Mary Woodson White, threw a pot of boiling grits on him while he was showering, burning his back, stomach and arm."

[RADIOACTIVE MAN]

the sun is such an excellent track man..grizzly always come through with them rhyme schemes

[RADIOACTIVE MAN]

another great grizzly..story like verse

that shit goes too fucking hard!!!!

[RADIOACTIVE MAN]

masterful shit right here

[grt05]

Chefs style switched up so crazy from 93 to how it sounded in 97.

now it's like he's tryna fit so much shit into just one bar...whereas back then, his rhymes were simpler but still dope, and allowed a better flow.

[GHOSTTOAST]

the whole 12 RTD 2 album.....he was washing Ghost on every track....!

[Ghost In The 'Lac]

1st verse for sure

[Soulless]

I agree that Rae is at his best when telling stories, but I disagree that his verses like that are "un-Raekwon." He tell stories almost as much as he does the stream of consciousness and probably moreso when you account for all the verses he does with Ghost.

Just a couple of my favorites from recent years.
