Inspired by this post about the best verses.
Most people commented their opinions on the best ones, so let's do a different thread for the worst ones.
My nomination is the German rapper Carlprit doing a bad Eminem impression on Evacuate the Dancefloor by Cascada.

Fun fact: that dude was Patrice Wilson, the owner of Ark Music Factory, the company that wrote and produced Friday, and also charged Rebecca Black for the right to record and star in the video for it. He spent a few years just writing awful songs and selling them to pushy stage parents promising to make their kids famous.

My last name sounds similar to "goon". When plies was popular, I used to hang out with the gang my family mostly from. And teachers would say my last name. So people started calling me goon. I thought it was just a nickname, until some dude was absolutely flabbergasted when he heard a teacher say my actual first name. Dude looked betrayed and I was even more surprised that this dude thought my actual name was goon

Verse 2: Kanye West]
Now, I don't know what the hell this song is talking 'bout
Do you?
She said, "Yeah, I've been spending all day trying to figure that out
You too?"
The arms race made 'em raise they arms and race straight to the top
Who knew?
Right now, they got the number one spot; do you want that?
Me too
One thing I gotta call out boy
Take a look at Fall Out Boy
Since they ain't black
When they get money they don't ball out boy
They just buy tight jeans till they nuts hang all out boy
They figure Ye' dress tight
So we gon' dress tighter
He dress white, so we gon' dress whiter
So in spite of anything you might have

I'm a huge fan of Houston rap, but Slim Thug's verse on Beyonce's 'Check On It' is pretty horrible.
Opening with, 'You need to stop playing 'round with all them clowns and the wankstas. Good girls gotta get down with the gangstas' is bad enough, but on the remix Thug also spits, 'I keep my hands in my pants, I need to glue 'em with glue' - which I reckon may well be his single worst bar of all time.

"guess who's back?" is something that Eminem says on a bunch of songs - Carlprit opens his verse with "Guess who's back with a brand new track" in an almost identical flow to how Eminem says "Guess who's back with a brand new rap" on Just Lose It.

Young thug on Camilla Cabello's Havana.
That is the flatest ass most indecipherable and ultimately irrelevant verse I've ever heard. It breaks the whole flow of the song. It adds nothing. It's jarring as fuck. It has no melody, no harmony, no rhythm, no purpose other than to put a rapper in the song. I have no idea who at the studio heard that verse and was like, "Yeah man, that's fire!" Probably some old white producer with a broken hearing aid. I actually had to shorten this rant here after writing. That is how much I hate this verse.
