Treach rates verses by Eminem, Tupac, Redman, and more.
Treach recently sat down with BET for the latest episode of their Rate The Bars series where the legendary Naughty By Nature rapper rates some of the verse by other rappers. Treach rates the verses of the likes of Eminem, Tech N9ne, Tupac, Redman, Joyner Lucas, and more. First, he reads some lines of Tupac’s 1993 song “5 Deadly Venomz” and gave it 5 out of 5. “That’s 5 right there. That’s something where you love to listen cause you know you ain’t actually gonna catch a charge for your homie right there, your co-defendant. That’s straight blackened, not only was it gangster but it was just the flow and the wordplay.”
Then he reads Redman’s lyrics from his feature on Obie Trice’s “The Set-Up Remix” from 2004 and rates it 5 as well. He also gives 5 out of 5 to Joyner Lucas’ “Litty Freestyle” which was a diss towards Tory Lanez. Tech N9ne’s 2019 “Hit The Ground Running” lyrics also get a 5 out of 5.
Treach then raps lyrics of Eminem’s “Book of Rhymes” which appeared on his latest Side B of “Music To Be Murdered By” album. “Lyrics, word patterns, not the normal, not something that the regular rapper would hear, that you would write that you yo… this is 5 man, this is 5,” says Treach.
Treach reads the subsequent bars from Eminem’s “Book Of Rhymes”: “Lone sniper, I hold a microphone like a loaded rifle / My dome’s brighter, all I spit from my skull’s fire All that’s missing’s a motorcycle with the chrome wires, spoke tires / And y’all are flow biters, so I don’t gotta / Explain why they call me your ghostwriter.”

“Book Of Rhymes” is the fifth song on Eminem’s most recent release, the deluxe edition of Music To Be Murdered By: Side B, which features scratches by famed beat-maker DJ Premier and was produced by Luis Resto, Illa Da Producer, and Eminem.
The title also refers to Nas’s ‘Book of Rhymes’ song from God’s Son, which was produced by Alchemist. There is also a possible sample of the Nas song at the end of the song in the DJ Premier mixing section.
