The first verse of Lose Yourself by Eminem. Nearly perfect rhyming.

"His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin what he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out He's choking how, everybody's joking now The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah! Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked He's so mad, but he won't give up that Easy, no"

Not my favourite, but the only one I can think of right now is this. Now, I ain't no Lil' Wayne cock-rider, but this line seemed quite intelligent for him and it surprised me enough to put it on here. From No Love - Eminem (Recovery) "I don't go around fire expecting not to sweat" The rest of the verse was just his usual one-dimensional wordplay, not REALLY making any sense at all, but this is actually one of my favourite lines now :/

It's Lord Finesse, the rhyme vet

Like Biggie, I'm "Ready to Die" but it ain't my fucking time yet

I bring the noise like static, I cause havoc

When I grab the mic I pack a party like traffic

You know my style, I got the hip sound

I should be a construction worker, the way I be tearing shit down

I don't front when it's time to kick a rhyme or two

I get raw and show the crowd what I could do

And steal a show before others have a chance to

By givin party people somethin funky to dance to

Kickin the lyrics and let the beat get them

Man, I sound groovy even on a weak system

I warm up the scene like a bottle of brandy

And if that fails, then I just go to Plan B
