Now I have made a lot of videos on Mr XXXTurkeyGobble, but today we’re switching it up with a video
that’s more positive and looking at the 10 fastest verses he has ever laid down. Real
quick, shoutout to the XXXTENTACION subreddit who helped me find a couple of songs on this
list that I wouldn’t have found otherwise, the link to their community will be in the
description below if you wanna join a community where you can talk about his music with other
X fans. So with that being said, this is CDTVProductions, you can find me on Instagram under that name,
and let’s look at the fastest XXXTakeoff verses of all time.
Honourable Mentions:
12 - I & M (Verse 2) - 6.8 SPS
So kicking off our list, we have a pretty damn old track from X. Now I noticed most
of the rhymes on the fast part are just the word “bitch”, it’s said 6 times in that
10 second clip, but the rhymes mixed with the faster flow makes it sound really nice.
I wouldn’t mind hearing a remastered or updated version of this.
11 - Jocelyn Flores (Verse 1) - 6.8 SPS
This
song is an undeniably heart felt track from X, and it’s one of his songs that really
got to me. The emotion here isn’t really something that stops him from rapping somewhat
fast though, as his scattered thoughts on the situation he’s rapping about just spill
out on to the beat. It’s a sadly beautiful track.
10 - Everybody Dies In Their Nightmares (Verse 1) - 7 SPS
And after that we have another sad song found on X’s 17 album. Much like Jocelyn Flores,
it’s just a song where it feels like X is just flowing all his thoughts over a downbeat
instrumental. Now personally I don’t love this song, but I can appreciate it for sure,
and I’d probably say it’s one of the better ones featured on
the 17 album.
9 - remedy for a broken heart (Verse 1) - 7 SPS
Now maybe I’m crazy, but I’d say this song is very comparable to the previous one,
it’s essentially the Everybody Dies in Their Nightmares of “?”. Although I find this
track to be a little bit more dull than that one, I’m not a huge fan of when X raps over
more acoustic instrumentation, and that’s one of the reasons why I’m not a huge fan
of this song. Smooth rapping for sure, but it’s just something that I didn’t enjoy
too much.
8 - Infinity (Verse 2) - 7 SPS
And here we have a song that I actually really enjoy on this list. I think X does a pretty
great job flowing over this 90s themed instrumental, and just personally, I like when he cuts down
on those weird vocal inflections he sometimes uses. It’s a very solid verse from him.
There’s also the fact that it has a brilliant guest verse from Joey Bada$$, and this all
makes me look forward to the long rumoured collab tape between X and Joey. This also
makes it one of my top tracks from ?, if not THE top one for me.
7 - In This B***h Lit (Verse 1) - 7.1 SPS
This is an incredibly short track, it only runs for 55 seconds, but X makes sure he rips
it apart at the very end of the track. This sounds like an early X track, what with the
distorted 808’s and growling delivery, which does hinder my enjoyment of the song, but
the switch from his broke up flow to the much faster flow is quite cool and makes for a
nice contrast.
6 - XXXANAX (Verse 1) - 7.3 SPS
Now you may have seen this song under a few different names, but whether it’s the original
name Crush, or other names like Bricks and XXXANAX, it’s a fast verse regardless. I
recall this being the second track I ever fully heard from X, and it showcased to me
that he had a lot of potential. It shows that he’s incredibly capable flow wise, even
if he’s not really saying anything too special on this particular track. I also like the
fact that he shows aggression here without having to shout to do so, it’s a verse I
really enjoy from him.
5 - Off the Wall (Verse 2) - 7.4 SPS
This is a track that contains one of Ski Mask the
Slump God’s fastest verses, and X made sure he matched this with a fairly speedy verse
of his own. The beat has a pretty aggressive, hostile sound as it samples the song Spit
It Out by Slipknot, but X and Ski make sure to keep the song fun and wild with their unique
and playful flows. If we’re just comparing speed here, Ski Mask was faster, but not by
a huge margin. Either way X did bring a nice verse where he switches up his rapping style
a few times. It all makes for a pretty entertaining song.
4 - Shining Like The Northstar (Verse 1) - 7.6 SPS
This is one that I wouldn’t have found without the help of the XXXTENTACION subreddit, so
yet again, thanks for that. This one kinda flew under my radar as it had quite a few
issues with its release, it was on Apple Music, then it wasn’t, but apparently it’s not
an official release, I don’t really know. Now I’m not gonna lie, I find the hook incredibly
unbearable on this song, and a lot of the song sounds a bit messy and all over the place
to me. Of course I can understand why people would enjoy it, it’s just I don’t. I can
respect the fact that he uses multiple different flows and vocal styles, but it’s something
that doesn’t appeal to me personally.
3 - Up Like An Insomniac (Verse 2) - 7.8 SPS
Again not a
fan of the hook on this one, but it’s definitely a much better X and Ronny J collab than the
previous song, and X actually handled some of the production on here, which is always
a plus. The different ways in which X raps on this song sound more logical, and I enjoy
the first verse on here, and of course the fast part, because honestly X can do fast
rapping quite nicely at times, as displayed by this list. Even though he’s nowhere near
the fastest, he still does speed rapping in a relatively clear delivery most of the time.
2 - Kings Dead (Remix) (Verse 2) - 7.9 SPS
And now we have another X and Joey Bada$$ collaboration song, and whilst I don’t enjoy
this as much as Infinity, they still both do a pretty good job. The main thing that
impressed me here honestly was when X did that weird sounding alien voice when he was
rapping, it sounded pretty great and I don’t think I’ve really heard him rap like that
before. He does manage to kill most of his verse, and that’s something I can really
appreciate. I wish he didn’t cut off his rapping after that part, but it did make for
an entertaining little skit in the middle of the track. I think I prefer the original
Kings Dead (I mean where the LaDiDaDiDa here?), but it’s a very good remix.
1 - #PROUDCATOWNER #IHATERAPPERS #IEATPUSSY (Verse 1) - 8.3 SPS
Seriously though, I can’t get over that title. But moving past that, with a lot of
the songs on here, the reason that they’re not faster is because X doesn’t consistently
keep up his speed, usually he’ll switch his flow before we hit that 10 second mark.
However, this song doesn’t have that issue, and it lands X his first, and only, song that
peaks at over the 8 SPS mark. It’s a decent enough track, and that “Harder than the
Kimpossible theme song” line made me laugh harder than it should’ve, that was good.
So there you have it, the song which I’m just gonna refer to as ProudCatOwner is the
fastest XXXTENTACION verse that I could find.
