10. All 70 (Benny the Butcher)
Bars. Con’s delivery on this track compliments the guitar heavy instrumental very well. He’s flexing his lifestyle of luxury while still spitting the hard street bars that got him there. Just a very very good verse.

9. Half of It
Conway absolutely SLIDES over this beat. One of the best showcases of his flow. He’s spitting his usual hard hitting bars, and although he isn’t at his peak lyrically here, his flow and delivery make this a standout.

8. Fendi Seats
Conway rapping over godly sounding beats is something that I need more of. He just sounds so good on this track. He raps about how other rappers lie about the lifestyle they live, saying he actually lives it and he’s authentic.

7. Forever Droppin’ Tears (verse 1)
This is probably Conway’s deepest, most vulnerable song. He completely opens up about his relationships with his friends who have died. The second verse could have easily made this list, it’s a tribute to DJ Shay who recently passed.
This is probably Conway’s deepest, most vulnerable song. He completely opens up about his relationships with his friends who have died. The second verse could have easily made this list, it’s a tribute to DJ Shay who recently passed.
But the first verse is where he really shined to me. Conway reminisces on his childhood friend and all the things they used to do together. Then he tells the story of the night he died. Conway was in the studio with him, and he decided to stay and work on music while his friend..
..left, saying he would be back late. Then 2 hours later Conway found out he crashed in a high speed chase and passed away. He ends the verse with powerful bars. “I know God got a purpose, music saved my life
If I wasn& #39;t recordin& #39;, I would& #39;ve been with him that night”
If I wasn& #39;t recordin& #39;, I would& #39;ve been with him that night”
6. Bullet Klub
Conway opens up the outro track on his G.O.A.T. tape with a super hard verse. He fits his braggadocios bars about his connections inside prison inside some dope rhyme patterns. He then proceeds to give a run down of his career and life, stating that despite..

.. his “twisted face” there’s still nobody that can rap like him. This verse basically serves as a warning to anybody who’s standing in Conway’s path to success, within the rap game or not.
5. Spurs 3
Spurs 3 is the latest track that the core trio of Griselda has linked up for, and it’s one of their best yet. Conway starts it off on a high note with one of his best verses. This is lyrically top notch. He goes on a rant about how the Griselda crew is on top..

.. of the game right now, and he name drops a bunch of hip hop figures such as Joe Budden, Sway, and Ebro, saying if you ask them about Griselda they will tell you exactly what Conway is saying. This verse just hits super hard and Conway’s pen game is on full display
4. Blakk Tape
This verse starts off with some really dope wordplay from Conway, spinning “body” in a bunch of different ways throughout the opening bars. Content wise it’s nothing out of the ordinary for him but this verse is filled to the brim with dope punchlines

I especially love his Cavaliers bars, that will likely go over your head if you don’t follow basketball. “Cuz they just wanna be under a King, like Kyrie
N****s took the Love out the game like Olynyk”
N****s took the Love out the game like Olynyk”
3. Front Lines (verse 2)
This verse touches on a lot of current events and heavy topics. He first addresses the 6ix9ine situation and expresses his dislike for him/the people who support him. He then transitions into the most important topic of the year, police brutality..

..starting by saying “I just seen a video on the news I couldn& #39;t believe,
Another racist cop kill a n***a and get to leave”. He raps about police profiling black men for having dreads and tattoos, how the system is flawed, and how he would react if it was his son who was...

The victim of police brutality. (He would run up in that precinct with his MAC). This verse has a lot to unpack and he touched on these topics while keeping a great flow and delivery throughout. One of his best no doubt.
2. Salute Me
This one might be a little bit of a biased pick, because it’s my favorite Conway song, but Salute Me features a 2 minute verse, where Conway is just really talking his shit. Based on the title alone you can assume that this song is about his status on the streets..

..and that’s exactly what this verse delivers. Hard hitting bars, dope punchlines, great flow and a lot of really tight rhyme schemes. Overall this is just Conway rapping at a very high level, he was in his bag on this one
1. The Cow (Westside Gunn)

..felt ashamed he never found out who the killer was. But then he recognizes that maybe it was a sign from God that he was meant to be a rapper, and if he were to find the killer he would likely be in prison. Then Conway opens up even more touching on the incident where he..
..got shot in the back of the head/neck, and how he struggled with accepting his appearance after half his face was paralyzed. He mentions how he struggled to speak and was ready to give up rapping. Overall I just love this verse and every time I listen I get the same feeling.
