10 Best Guest Verses In Rap History

Nuthin but a G Thang was the bestselling single off Dr. Dre’s magnum opus The Chronic. A chill party jam that was as welcome at a party as it was playing on the car radio and it had the side effect of making whoever played it look cool as hell. It rode those vibes to the number two spot on the US Billboard Hot 100.

In 92 Dr. Dre was in his prime, a 27 year old who had been kicking ass in the rap game with N.W.A. for years. But Snoop? Snoop was 20 years old when he showed up one of the best rappers alive on the best song on his best album. There are many rap fans today who only think of Snoop as a washed up stoner who features on Katy Perry tracks, but they should know that wasn’t always the truth.

Surprisingly, Snoop is actually on the track more than Dre, totaling two verses and the hook. He opens the song with effortless cool but he doesn’t peak until his second verse. After Dre gets his bars Snoop steps in again and kills it. His style is cool and calm, a sharp contrast to Dre who’s at his best spitting fire in a thunder of anger and aggression. He performs admirably, but the chill vibes on Nuthin but a G Thang were built for Snoop.

One, two, three and to the fo'
Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre are at the do'
Ready to make an entrance, so back on up
(Cause you know we 'bout had to rip s**t up)
Gimme the microphone first, so I can bust like a bubble
Compton and Long Beach together, now you know you in trouble
Ain't nothin' but a G thang, baaaaabay!
Two loc'ed out G's so we're craaaaazay!
Death Row is the label that paaaaays me!
Unfadable, so please don't try to fade this (Hell yeah)
But, uh, back to the lecture at hand
Perfection is perfected, so I'm 'a let 'em understand
From a young G's perspective
And before me dig out a b***h I have ta' find a contraceptive
You never know she could be earnin' her man,
And learnin' her man, and at the same time burnin' her man
Now you know I ain't wit that s**t, Lieutenant
Ain't no pussy good enough to get burnt while I'm up in it
(yeah) Now that's realer than real-deal Holyfield
And now all you hookas and ho's know how I feel
Well if it's good enough to get broke off a proper chunk
I'll take a small piece of some of that funky stuff
