2011 will probably be remembered for quite a few things. The rise of crews, the roaring sound the underground made on the train tracks of every mainstream stage in music, and, to be quite honest, Watch The Throne. But Deal With No Deal is going to countdown 25 verses, that are more than just verses, but moments rather, that will undoubtedly be a reminder of what 2011 had to offer. Lyrics is just the foundation. Which rapper stepped up to the plate? The bigger the risk the bigger the reward. From now until the number one verse is announced on December 31st you'll have 25 times to answer that question. Guest verses and freestyles only...and to start it off, why not check out #25 & #24.

Jadakiss - Its Good (Lil' Wayne f/ Jadakiss & Drake)
This is probably one of the more memorable records of the summer, for numerous reasons. Three of the biggest names in rap on the same track, on what was (for reasons unbeknownst to me) a heavily touted and highly anticipated album, with not-so-subliminal shots tossed back towards the Roc Nation general from Lil' Wayne, stemming back from an indirect spat they had in January. Needless to say, it was a huge stage, and while people debated endlessly about Drake and Lil' Wayne's possible involvement in a public beef with Kanye West and Jay-Z, Jadakiss kinda just walked in the back door and preached a little gospel. Just imagine a crowd full of inner-city youth gathering around a pulpit listening to one of the greatest say things like...
"I'm still in the hood, but I probably should move
Made enough money, I don't fuck around
I just felt they needed me so I stuck around
Feds got my my man, shit is real son,
'Cuz my god-son just became my real son."
