3025458, You're Talking About An Era When Every Rap Song Had 3 Verses
Posted by Dj Joey Joe, Mon Jun-29-20 10:04 PM
Three verses were the basic model for any rap song, shit, you want to complain just think of all those early 80's rap songs which had five to six verses, or even worst when some rap songs had one long ass verse that was the entire song, what I don't like is how dancehall reggae artists do their verses and chorus without any pauses or breaks inbetween once in a while you might hear the beat by itself at the very end.

I thought C.L.'s third verses were great on some songs, he stayed true to the subject matter, but I will say on some songs he could've dropped a few third verses and paired them up with another song & beat and have an entirely new song.
