32. “New Slaves”
Kanye West
Yeezus
Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam
The greatest rap verse of all time is only Kanye’s 32nd best. We hate to break it to you Yeezy, but you’ve done better quite a few times. Yes we admit the conspiracy theory-ridden, borderline Pearl Harbor theme you adopted for the entire latter half of the Frank Ocean-assisted “New Slaves” was pretty damn captivating, but this verse is great for its disrespect and abrasiveness, rather than its well written raps. Still, its good enough to make the list, which counts for something, doesn’t it.
