I'm not asking for the most iconic verse of all time. I'm not asking for the most popular verse of all time, not the one attached to one of the greatest artists. I'm asking purely for lyricism, penmanship, creativity, standpoint.

What is one of the greatest rap verse ever written?

Focusing on things like the wordplay, the rhyme schemes, the layered meaning, the stories telling precision, the complexity, the creativity.

I don't care if it's an old school or new school. I don't care if it's mainstream or underground.

And please do not just default to a verse because of the artist's legacy. Strip away the name, strip away the hype, strip away the impact, the nostalgia,

If verse was written by an unknown artist right here, right now. Would it still hold up as elite? Also, please avoid bandwagon answers, unless you can actually break down why the verse deserves that level of praise.

I want you to give verses that are objectively impressive on a technical and lyrical level, and not emotionally attached picks or nostalgic attached picks. Curious to see what generally stands at the top, one bias is removed.
