One of The Greatest Hip-Hop Verses I've Heard In Ages

Kelvin Mercer, a/k/a Posdnous, from De La Soul's "Much More" (The Grind Date, 2004)

I got verb skills, babies and bills, brothers who smoke krills
and still tryin to get himself together from it
Knowin he can't quite run it like me
I'm on the cutting edge of what's alleged to be, hot
And when you rock, it's just impersonations of me
The rightest MC, MP with the V in the middle
I belittle your plan, courtesy, of NY dirty C my man
My base of fans are made up of many; with kids allergic
to belts letting they mind melt from drinkin the Henny
And them straight and narrow types who be waitin to hear
them drums say the revolution is near -
are you listening?
Are your eardrums open for christening?
We God Body MC's with these tools
While some others play God, they just god damn fools with it
I don't cuff mics, I rough mics up rough and rugged
Get the girls to love it
Still and all five-oh came to my mic check
Tellin me I left lacerations around my mic's neck
Domestically disputed and you just might get
the undisputed underdog servin y'all threat


He is undoubtedly, undisputedly one of the very best MCs out there today and, IMHO, if you know De La's work, you know he's one of the best ever.

Heard of all them cats, and I agree that they get nice with theirs, but Kelvin Mercer is one of the best ever. Check out his ill lyricism, especially from Stakes Is High on . . . he's kicked it to another level.
