Top 15 Fastest Asa Verses | The Fastest Rapper in the UK | 2024

Asa (or Asa Jake) is a rapper who has gained much popularity in recent times due to his ability to rap at exceptional speeds whilst maintaining crystal clear enunciation and perfect clarity. Asa overall as a rapper is a very unique case, being that he is from the United Kingdom whilst entirely differentiating from the usual style seen in UK rap. It’s evident that Asa is heavily influenced by the American legends of Hip-Hop, and it has helped shaped his style into this fast-paced rhyme-centred approach that makes him an oddity in the rap scene of his own country. This video presents his fastest verses. I hear very frequently “rapping fast does not equal good“, and yes there is more that goes into a rap song than just the speed and I have never said otherwise. However, I believe the ability to rap fast on its own is a great demonstration of talent, and Asa in particular is very worthy of presentation. My channel is dedicated to showing fast rap from across the world, so if this video has at all piqued your interest - feel free to check some of my other videos (preferably the newer ones, we don’t talk about the ones from pre-2023). Fastest Rappers in the World: Fastest Turkish Rappers: Fastest Hungarian Rapper: (I’d link more but I’ve ran out of description space) || blah blah blah, explaining the calculations || SPS, Syllables Per Second, is the long accepted unit of measurement of a rapper’s speed. On a fundamental level the process is simple enough, as the result is obtained by dividing the amount of syllables said by a rapper by the length of the timeframe they occupy on a song. You’ll notice that this video’s method of calculation likely differs from more popular videos covering fast verses. Some people prefer calculations where verses are timed up to 10 seconds. This method is more suited to figuring out the AVERAGE speed of a verse, whereas our aim is to figure out the PEAK speed of a verse. A reference frame of one second or, more often than not, slightly longer than that, is still faithful to the “syllables per second” denomination while showcasing the absolute fastest speed reached by a rapper. It is, in our opinion, more compelling from a ranking standpoint, as well as a presentation one, as it results in a higher variance of results between rappers. Longer timeframes, usually 10 seconds, end up watering down the results by a relevant amount, as it’s unlikely that a fast burst goes on for longer than 3 or 4 seconds at the speeds showcased in the video (13-14 SPS and higher), meaning that those 3 seconds are surrounded by 7 seconds that may include slower rapping (bringing the average speed down), no rapping (tanking the average speed), or vocals from different takes (making it impossible to count the entire section as steady rapping): in other words, there are too many things that can go wrong in 10 seconds. Two rappers could have the same results of 130 syllables in 10 seconds, with the difference being that one raps a steady 13 SPS all the way through, the other one hits peaks of 16 SPS and slows down to regular speeds in other sections. Our intention is to acknowledge such accomplishments, as the main focus of these lists is sheer speed, instead of something such as stamina, which is still impressive in its own regard. That being said, there is nothing wrong with preferring an alternative method. If you believe a 10-second method provides a better viewing experience, then I fully encourage for others to make videos with such formats. However, personally for me (and many others), we believe the method used in this video is perfectly enjoyable and remains faithful to SPS. || Some answers to likely questions || Q: Is the artwork you used for Infinite Choppers 2 the official artwork? A: No, the artwork for the track is not done - so I decided to use one of the roster announcement artworks. And yes, I have permission to share this preview of Asa’s verse on this video. Q: For Groundhog Day Remix, shouldn’t there be 14 syllables highlighted? A: No. It would be 14, however “offering“ is pronounced as 2 syllables, “off-ring“. So the total is 13. Q: Why is the calculation for From the D 2 The LBC Remix so much different from when it was in your 150 list? A: Ultimately, it was just something we missed. It happens. Q: When is the next 150 list? A: Much later into the year is what I feel is best. ||Credits|| This video was made possible by: NahDah: you’re on my channel NFM: @nfm9428 ayng: @ayng_sps Idylll: @IdylllOfficial All verses performed by Asa Asa on YouTube: @officialasa Asa on Instagram: All song & burst links: ||Contact Me|| Instagram: nahdahvebb Discord: nahdah Email: nahdahvebb@
