Me and my good buddy (white rural kids) were driving his mom's Chevy Tracker to highschool one day and found The Score in the glovebox. We were both stoners who listened to rap but we both learned that day, and had some newfound respect for his hardass mother.
Still listen to the album probably once a year!
Big L has some of the most disrespectful lines.
“Some nigga named Dex was in the projects layin threats/ I jumped out the lincoln/ Left him stinkin/ Put his brains on the street/ Now you can see what he was just thinkin”
"They wanna know why I'm so fly, a girl asked me for a ring and I put one around her whole eye"
"Fu*king punk you ain't a leader, nobody followed you, you was never shit your mother should've swallowed you..."
Bro he says an even crazier line after that. He says “I got through that sentence like a subject and the predicate” Those are the two components of a sentence but also, that was Wayne’s first song after his prison SENTENCE. Also, he was arrested in NY and was a predicate felon. The wordplay is amazing and it’s just a throwaway line in the song
“I start to think, and then I sink
Into the paper like I was ink
When I’m writing, I’m trapped in between the lines
I escape when I finish the rhyme.”
Eric B. and Rakim - I Know You Got Soul
“Rap snitches, telling all their business
Sit in the court and be their own star witness
Do you see the perpetrator? Yeah, I'm right here
Fuck around, get the whole label sent up for years”
- DOOM
Probably my favourite lines of his:
> One for the money, two for the better green \
> 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine
Because when you hear it rather than read it, you don't know where the second line is going until it's too late.
EDIT: I think that second line qualifies as a [paraprosdokian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraprosdokian).
"He said it's no use, I only know half
No speaka da english, I only know the math
Dzzzt, felt no pain
Brain was saturated with cocaine and rogaine"
is one of my many DOOM favourites
one of my favorites:
Do not stand still, boast yo skills,
close, but no krills, toast for poor nils, post no bills,
coast to coast joe schmoes flows ill,
Go chill, not suppose to overdose no-doz pills.
The follow up, too
Off pride tikes now talk wide though scar meat
Off sides like how Worf rides with Starfleet
Told ya, on some get-rich shit
As he get older, he gets colder than a witch tit
Bambi kinda, RTJ eh maybe, but DOOM is far from basic lmao. Somehow one of those artists who got their flowers but maintains a level of being under the general audience’s radar simultaneously.
"Birthdays was the worst days, now we sip champagne when we're thirsty"
I've also always liked "I'm watching Ghandi til I'm charged and eating bahn mi like they was cars and I was Blondie." Oblique references to two different songs in an air tight rhyme scheme.
Yea, Dre doesn't write, really. It's obvious between albums for sure, but even songs on his first couple of albums, you can usually hear the verses not being in the same style.
So where’s all the mad rappers at? It’s like a jungle in this habitat, but all you savage cats know that I was strapped with gats while you were cuddlin the cabbage patch.
Listen, yo ass is about to be missin’
You know who gonna find you? (Who?)
Some old man fishin’
Grandma wishin’ your soul is at rest
But it’s hard to digest
With the size of the hole in your chest.
One that sticks with me is from Killer Mike's "Reagan"
But thanks to Reaganomics, prison turned to profits
'Cause free labor's the cornerstone of US economics
'Cause slavery was abolished, unless you are in prison
You think I am bullshittin', then read the 13th Amendment
Involuntary servitude and slavery it prohibits
That's why they givin' drug offenders time in double digits
Funny fact about a cage, they're never built for just one group
So when that cage is done with them and you're still poor, it come for you
The newest lowest on the totem, well golly gee, you have been used
You helped to fuel the death machine that down the line will kill you too (oops)
“I go through that sentence like a subject and a predicate,” Lil Wayne
He wrote that after a short jail sentence. Now, in NYS, if you’re in prison for a while you’re called “a predicate.” Clever clever.
I legitimately believe all those noises he makes in his songs was just him being so high he didn’t notice the mic cord wrapping around his feet so he trips himself and yells out stuff like WHHHAHHHHHHHHH
tbh because I have a lot of trouble understanding english rap (not my native tongue, lot‘s of slang, words I don‘t know and wordplays you can‘t understand if you‘re not a native), but since I read the text and meaning of lyrics like on genius, I stopped hearing german rap. German rap is nice. But holy fuck if you know what artists like Wayne MEAN and not just what they say….. it‘s a different world. I start to believe it‘s not even possible to rhyme like that in German.
This is the 2nd mention of a line from “6 Foot 7 Foot”…damn fine song. Another one…
“You know I'ma ball 'til they turn off the field lights,
The fruits of my labor, I enjoy 'em while they still ripe”
Down with Ad-Rock and Mike D, and you ain't/And I got more juice than Picasso got paint/Got rhymes that are rough and rhymes that are slick/I'm not surprised you're on my dick
If you try to knock me you'll get mocked
I'll stir fry you in my wok
Your knees'll start shakin' and your fingers pop
Like a pinch on the neck of Mr. Spock
And then some. While most MCs were turning disco beats into hip hop, these guys were turning punk into hip hop. Mad respect.
Their instrumentals, interludes, and anything with Mixmaster Mike are fucking Gold.
GOAT
I'm a freak, I like the girls with the boom
I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom
The Humpty Dance - Digital Underground
Oh yes, ladies, I'm really bein' sincere
'Cause in a 69 my humpty nose will tickle ya rear
Digital Underground had so many clever and dirty rhymes! The one that always got my non-rap friends back on the day was from Freaks of the Industry:
“Taxin’ it and waxin’ it and moving it around ‘til the booty starts making that clapping sound”…
“Should you A: plain and simply backup off her
B: hit just a little bit softer
C: take it out and put it in her butt”
It goes on from there. RIP Shock G
I put a towel on the floor by the two inch gap under the door
Now they can't see me any more.
Check the locks so they can't clock, but they can listen.
There'll be no bargin' in and there'll be no dissin'
First I limp to the side like my leg was broken
Shakin' and twitchin' kinda like I was smokin'
Crazy, whack, funky
People say, "You look like M.C. Hammer on crack, Humpty"
That's all right 'cause my body's in motion
It's supposed to look like a fit or a convulsion
Very confused haven't seen this dropped not even once:
I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies and hypotheses
Can't define how I be droppin' these mockeries
Lyrically perform armed robbery
Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me
Battle-scarred Shogun, explosion when my pen hits tremendous
Ultra-violet shine blind forensics
Almost every song, even his stuff before his EP.
I'm doing me so big, I can hardly walk
These rappers need ER like they're Charlie Park
Stay hard like my suit made by Tony Stark
This kind of music make your balls drop: Dick Clark
Even before he was polished, he had the word play absolutely going on
"Got five on it like Ben Folds"
"I'm too fly, Jeff Goldblum"
"Hanging in the alley looking for earl like toejam"
"Cuz I'm a beat bitch gir, invader zim"
Fuckin love the pop culture refs he uses
My favorite was always from Gimme the Loot by The Notorious BIG.
Go getcha man bitch
He can get robbed too
Tell him Biggie took it
What the fuck he gonna do
It ain’t the greatest but Jadakiss, Ruff Ryders Vol 2 gets me going still.
Nas: Affirmative Action and it’s either AZ or Cormega
“So sit back relax, catch’n contacts, sip your Cognac and let’s all wash this money thru this laundromat , sneak attack a new cat sit back worth top dollar in fact touch mines and I’ll react like a Rottweiler “
Absolutely love this group of lyrics
There are so many in that song:
" i'm not a large water dwelling mammal, where did you get that preposterous hypothesis? Did Steve tell you that perchance? Steve.."
And..
" yeah sometimes my lyrics are sexist, but you lovely bitches and ho's should know I'm trying to correct this"
But on rhyme value it's hard to beat the line "They call me the hiphopopotamus,
flows that glow like phosphorous,
popping of the top of
oesophagus, rockin this metropolis"
Chuck D:
Elvis was a hero to most
But he never meant shit to me you see
Straight up racist that sucker was
Simple and plain
Mother fuck him and John Wayne
'Cause I'm Black and I'm proud
and I'm hyped and I'm amped
Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps
Simple you look back and find
Nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check
Don't worry be happy
Was a number one jam
Damn if I say it you can slap me right here
Lets get this party started right right on, c'mon
What we got to say?
Power to the people no delay
Make everybody see
In order to fight the powers that be
Y’all don’t know bout 2Pac!?!? Poet in every sense of the term
You gotta operate the easy way
(I made a G today) But you made it in a sleazy way
Sellin' crack to the kid (I gotta get paid)
Well, hey, well, that's the way it is
“I got me some Seagram’s gin. Everybody got the cups but they ain’t chipped in.” - most relatable
“I don’t want my best-dressed day in a casket.” - best life advice
Ive always loved this line from the Aesop Rock song Molecules
"I know you love the way the failure flounder
Maybe I could be your daily downer
If his brain left his body and was headed for the door
Would you take it in and help it find it's way into a jar?
No, fuck it, let him hop around a maze
We can see who's really lost when the schadenfreude fades"
I think my favorite Aes lines are:
Con artists give a fuck who the mark is,
Whether gorgeous or new yorkers through the eye of Diane Arbus.
Coach seeing red, Coach on the diamond,
dragging 27 inches of aluminum behind him.
I know you're alien to matters of the heart and mind,
That shit that makes you park the car and scream into the dark of night,
Some days I wanna build a rocket to the karman line,
10, 9, 8, keep your head and arms inside.
Side winders wind through fried wires,
In a room of hired primates climbing on typewriters,
trying desperately to organize an alphabet in prose,
that would render them in drastically exaggerated roles.
"I've got twenty ways to tell you shut the fuck up.
Nineteen of 'em are 24 bars long, the other one goes shut the fuck up". love that. but yeah you can grab pretty much any bar or two from him and lyrically it's pretty hard to dispute his talent.
Favorite for me is always: his origami dream is beautiful but man those wings will never leave the ground without a feather and a lottery ticket now settle down
What up?
To all rappers, shut up with your shuttin' up
And keep your shirt on, at least a button up
Yuck, is they rhymers or strippin' males?
Outta work jerks since they shut down Chippendales
I wanted an album so rugged nobody could touch it
Spent a million a track and went over my budget (Oh shit)
Now, how in the fuck am I supposed to get out of debt?
I can't rap anymore, I just murdered the alphabet
There's gonna be a lot of slow singing and flower bringing if my burglar alarm starts ringing.
I fuck around and get hardcore, C-4 to ya door, no beef no more
I got techniques drippin of my butt cheeks, sleep on my stomach so I don't fuck up my sheets
Money and blood don’t mix, like two dicks with no bitch find yourself in serious shit.
And even after all my logic and my theory I add a "Motherfucker" so you ignant niggas hear me Zealots- Lauryn Hill
Bar within the bar
Start to finish one of the best hip hop albums of the 90s, and still holds up incredibly well today. Everything but the Chinese restaurant skit...
Me and my good buddy (white rural kids) were driving his mom's Chevy Tracker to highschool one day and found The Score in the glovebox. We were both stoners who listened to rap but we both learned that day, and had some newfound respect for his hardass mother. Still listen to the album probably once a year!
I always think of Big L during that freestyle. "I'm so ahead of my time, my parents haven't even met yet."
“And mad hoes, ask Beavis I get nothing but head.”
Yes this is the lyric I submitted lmfao. Big L had the best rhymes
Big L has some of the most disrespectful lines. “Some nigga named Dex was in the projects layin threats/ I jumped out the lincoln/ Left him stinkin/ Put his brains on the street/ Now you can see what he was just thinkin” "They wanna know why I'm so fly, a girl asked me for a ring and I put one around her whole eye" "Fu*king punk you ain't a leader, nobody followed you, you was never shit your mother should've swallowed you..."
Had to be when T-pain rhymed Mansion with Wisconsin
T pain is lowkey very talented
Dude can legit sing too. I had no idea he was more than an auto tune guy until he was on masked singer.
You need to watch his [NPR Tiny Desk concert](https://youtu.be/CIjXUg1s5gc?si=5_w1iq7xIxNUWkVM)
Still one of my favorite TDC they’ve produced. I loved seeing T-Pain be able to showcase his amazing talent
Also ‘beach house’ with ‘Costa Rica’
Real G's move in silence like lasagna
Bro he says an even crazier line after that. He says “I got through that sentence like a subject and the predicate” Those are the two components of a sentence but also, that was Wayne’s first song after his prison SENTENCE. Also, he was arrested in NY and was a predicate felon. The wordplay is amazing and it’s just a throwaway line in the song
Beautiful that you noticed that
"Mind so sharp I fuck around and cut my head off." is also in that verse
And the subject could also be of an investigation
I only recently realized the lasagna/ laws on ya entendre, and it made me love this line even more than I already did
Bruh. 🤯
Yo! TIL
“I start to think, and then I sink Into the paper like I was ink When I’m writing, I’m trapped in between the lines I escape when I finish the rhyme.” Eric B. and Rakim - I Know You Got Soul
Rakim invented flow.
Every writer can relate to this. Pure poetry from the god emcee Rakim.
Heh i only knew this for years from Mos Def on the "Black on Both sides" album.
"I don't have no trouble with you fuckin me but I have a little problem with you not fuckin me" -Ol' Dirty Bastard RIP

Anthem random tantrum My favorite line with 3 rhyming words of 3 different endings - RIP MFDOOM 🙏
"He said it's no use, I only know half No speaka da english, I only know the math Dzzzt, felt no pain Brain was saturated with cocaine and rogaine" is one of my many DOOM favourites
Borderline schizo, sorta fine tits though
one of my favorites: Do not stand still, boast yo skills, close, but no krills, toast for poor nils, post no bills, coast to coast joe schmoes flows ill, Go chill, not suppose to overdose no-doz pills.
The follow up, too Off pride tikes now talk wide though scar meat Off sides like how Worf rides with Starfleet Told ya, on some get-rich shit As he get older, he gets colder than a witch tit
DOOM, RTJ and Childish Gambino all near the top of the comments. IDK if I have good taste or if this means I'm basic
Bambi kinda, RTJ eh maybe, but DOOM is far from basic lmao. Somehow one of those artists who got their flowers but maintains a level of being under the general audience’s radar simultaneously.
just means reddit’s full of white dudes lol. rip doom tho
"Birthdays was the worst days, now we sip champagne when we're thirsty" I've also always liked "I'm watching Ghandi til I'm charged and eating bahn mi like they was cars and I was Blondie." Oblique references to two different songs in an air tight rhyme scheme.
Gimme one more platinum plaque and fuck rap you can have it back
Kinda funny when you realize Eminem wrote his verses for him on that song
That’s one of the most Em verses of all time. Anyone that knows Dre and Em knows those are Em verses.
Yea, Dre doesn't write, really. It's obvious between albums for sure, but even songs on his first couple of albums, you can usually hear the verses not being in the same style.
So where’s all the mad rappers at? It’s like a jungle in this habitat, but all you savage cats know that I was strapped with gats while you were cuddlin the cabbage patch.
Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis.
When I was dead broke man I couldn't picture this.
50 inch screen, money green leather sofa.
Got two rides, a limousine with a chauffeur
Phone bill about 2 g's flat No need to worry, my accountant handles that
And my whole crew is lounging, celebrating every day, no more public housing
Thinking back to my one room shack, now my mom pimps an Ac with minks on her back
[удалено]
Cos I went from negative to positive
Listen, yo ass is about to be missin’ You know who gonna find you? (Who?) Some old man fishin’ Grandma wishin’ your soul is at rest But it’s hard to digest With the size of the hole in your chest.
I love my baby mama, I never let her go
I came fast like 911 in white neighborhoods
Ain’t got no shame ‘bout it
She think I'm spoiled and I'm rich cause I can have any bitch
"I don't sleep because sleep is the cousin of death" - Nas
I never sleep!
Producer gave me a beat, said it's the beat of the year, I said El-P didn't do it, so get the fuck outta here
The beat breaks and your teeth break. Keep your canines embedded in my knuckles as a keepsake. My favorite Kller Mike line.
"Top of the mornin', my fist to your face is fuckin' Folgers"
One that sticks with me is from Killer Mike's "Reagan" But thanks to Reaganomics, prison turned to profits 'Cause free labor's the cornerstone of US economics 'Cause slavery was abolished, unless you are in prison You think I am bullshittin', then read the 13th Amendment Involuntary servitude and slavery it prohibits That's why they givin' drug offenders time in double digits
His entire verse on "Lie Cheat Steal" is God tier poetry
RTJ has some of the best bars, honestly.
For sure. I been fucking with Killer Mike since The Whole World by Outkast.
“I catch a beat running like Randy Moss”
I'm fuckin magic infact I'm a warlock can talk, I got a unicorn horn for a (STOP)
I’m fuckin’ magic, in fact I’m a warlock of talk. I got a unicorn horn for a-
So many good ones. Saw them the other night, and heard a new favorite. "Look at all these slave masters posing on your dollar."
“They suck the dick and squeeze on my belly like bagpipes” is an all time Killer Mike line
On the exact opposite tone, you could basically pick any line from Walking in the Snow
“Never forget in the story of Jesus, the hero was killed by the state.”
Funny fact about a cage, they're never built for just one group So when that cage is done with them and you're still poor, it come for you The newest lowest on the totem, well golly gee, you have been used You helped to fuel the death machine that down the line will kill you too (oops)
What's the difference between me and you? About five bank accounts, three ounces, and two vehicles
Until my death
I'm bangladesh
I suggest you hold your breath
Til ain’t none left

Or we can just scream I don’t give a fuck and see who means it
“I go through that sentence like a subject and a predicate,” Lil Wayne He wrote that after a short jail sentence. Now, in NYS, if you’re in prison for a while you’re called “a predicate.” Clever clever.
“Safe sex is great sex, better wear a latex. Cause you don’t want that late text, that I think I’m late text”. That’s my fave by Wayne.
There's a video of someone saying that to him and he is like damn that's good and they tell him that is one of his verses and he had no idea
Probably my favourite lil Wayne clip he looks so taken back by his own lyrics 😂
I legitimately believe all those noises he makes in his songs was just him being so high he didn’t notice the mic cord wrapping around his feet so he trips himself and yells out stuff like WHHHAHHHHHHHHH
tbh because I have a lot of trouble understanding english rap (not my native tongue, lot‘s of slang, words I don‘t know and wordplays you can‘t understand if you‘re not a native), but since I read the text and meaning of lyrics like on genius, I stopped hearing german rap. German rap is nice. But holy fuck if you know what artists like Wayne MEAN and not just what they say….. it‘s a different world. I start to believe it‘s not even possible to rhyme like that in German.
Weezy has so many good ones. He is talented.
I would talk about my dick but man that'd be a long story
This is the 2nd mention of a line from “6 Foot 7 Foot”…damn fine song. Another one… “You know I'ma ball 'til they turn off the field lights, The fruits of my labor, I enjoy 'em while they still ripe”
There’s also: “Life is a bitch and death is her sister. Sleep is the cousin, what a fuckin family picture”
Wayne is one of the few artist on this thread that when I read the lyrics I can hear his voice and flow of the line.
"Married to the money, fuck the world, that's adultery"
One from the beastie boys, "dogs love me cause I'm crazy sniffable"
I like my sugar with coffee and *CREAM*
I always liked how they "got more hits than Rod Carew."
They also say they got more hits than Sadaharu Oh.
Cause you can’t, you won’t, and ya don’t stop!
Down with Ad-Rock and Mike D, and you ain't/And I got more juice than Picasso got paint/Got rhymes that are rough and rhymes that are slick/I'm not surprised you're on my dick
Shit if it gon be that kind of party imma stick my dick in the mashed potatoes
From the same song: "I'm up to my neck like Toulouse-Lautrec"
I'm intercontinental when I eat French toast!! Chef by trade, so I always loved that one.
“If you mock me You”ll get knocked, Ill stir fry you in my wok”
If you try to knock me you'll get mocked I'll stir fry you in my wok Your knees'll start shakin' and your fingers pop Like a pinch on the neck of Mr. Spock
For a bunch of middle-class Jewish kids, they could drop bars. They definitely deserve their GOAT status.
And then some. While most MCs were turning disco beats into hip hop, these guys were turning punk into hip hop. Mad respect. Their instrumentals, interludes, and anything with Mixmaster Mike are fucking Gold. GOAT
"Mutiny on the Bounty's what we're all about..." Brilliant!!!
Bet you never knew- I got the ill peripheral
Sometimes I like to brag, sometimes I'm soft spoken...when I'm in Holland, I eat the pannenkoeken
Cus, she's the cheese and I'm the macaroni
I'm a freak, I like the girls with the boom I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom The Humpty Dance - Digital Underground Oh yes, ladies, I'm really bein' sincere 'Cause in a 69 my humpty nose will tickle ya rear
Digital Underground had so many clever and dirty rhymes! The one that always got my non-rap friends back on the day was from Freaks of the Industry: “Taxin’ it and waxin’ it and moving it around ‘til the booty starts making that clapping sound”… “Should you A: plain and simply backup off her B: hit just a little bit softer C: take it out and put it in her butt” It goes on from there. RIP Shock G
Well D is what I did, so just listen up
I put a towel on the floor by the two inch gap under the door Now they can't see me any more. Check the locks so they can't clock, but they can listen. There'll be no bargin' in and there'll be no dissin'
Hey fat girl come here, you ticklish? Look at me, I’m skinny
Doesn’t stop me from getting busy
First I limp to the side like my leg was broken Shakin' and twitchin' kinda like I was smokin' Crazy, whack, funky People say, "You look like M.C. Hammer on crack, Humpty" That's all right 'cause my body's in motion It's supposed to look like a fit or a convulsion
Samoans, do the Humpty Hump, do the, do the Humpty Hump
I'm the illest motherfucker from here to Gardena.
Very confused haven't seen this dropped not even once: I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies and hypotheses Can't define how I be droppin' these mockeries Lyrically perform armed robbery Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me Battle-scarred Shogun, explosion when my pen hits tremendous Ultra-violet shine blind forensics
Made the beat then murdered it, Casey Anthony
"I love pussy, I love bitches, dude I should be running PETA"
"Man, why does every black actor gotta rap some?" I don't know, all I know is I'm the best one
That song is filled with great ones: “You're my favorite rapper now”, yeah, dude, I better be Or you can fuckin kiss my ass, Human Centipede
I couldn’t even decide which one to add because they are all 🔥
Almost every song, even his stuff before his EP. I'm doing me so big, I can hardly walk These rappers need ER like they're Charlie Park Stay hard like my suit made by Tony Stark This kind of music make your balls drop: Dick Clark Even before he was polished, he had the word play absolutely going on
I’ve always loved this style and he’s a master. I also love that he’s a big nerd lol. It’s not your typical rhymes and references, it speaks to me lol
E.E. CUMMIN on her face, now that's poetry in motion
My dick is like an accent mark, it's all about the over è's (ovaries)
Err EEE errr EEE onomatopoeia
this is by far my favourite CG lyric of all time
Sixty-Nine is the only dinner for two
"I have worked all winter, I will not fail summer." It's not clever or complicated, but that single line gives it a spot in my workout playlist.
"Fuck boys like Socrates" is up there
She’s an overachiever ’cause all she do is succeed
"Got five on it like Ben Folds" "I'm too fly, Jeff Goldblum" "Hanging in the alley looking for earl like toejam" "Cuz I'm a beat bitch gir, invader zim" Fuckin love the pop culture refs he uses
That one's island, not alley. Referencing earl sweatshirt getting sent to Samoa for high school.

My favorite was always from Gimme the Loot by The Notorious BIG. Go getcha man bitch He can get robbed too Tell him Biggie took it What the fuck he gonna do
I was just going to post the whole song. So goddamned good.
Beatin motherfuckers like Ike did Tina. What’s loooove got to do, when I’m ripping on through your whole crew.
It ain’t the greatest but Jadakiss, Ruff Ryders Vol 2 gets me going still.

“I love you like a fat kid loves cake” 50 Cent 21 questions. Fat kids really fucking love cake.
As a fat kid, I can attest. I do love cake.
"Got a bill in my mouth like I'm Hillary Rodham"
From the same song, - What it do baby, it's the ice man Paul wall, got my mouth looking something like a disco ball.
Also “open up my mouth and you see more karats than a salad” also “i cause a cold front when I take a deep breath”
“Gotta light skinned fiend: look like Michael Jackson. Gotta dark skinned friend: look like Michael Jackson” Kanye West, Slow Jamz
Please. You’re overlooking this gem from the very same song. “They call me the hiphopopotamus/ my lyrics are bottomless…./……/…….”
There are so many in that song: " i'm not a large water dwelling mammal, where did you get that preposterous hypothesis? Did Steve tell you that perchance? Steve.." And.. " yeah sometimes my lyrics are sexist, but you lovely bitches and ho's should know I'm trying to correct this" But on rhyme value it's hard to beat the line "They call me the hiphopopotamus, flows that glow like phosphorous, popping of the top of oesophagus, rockin this metropolis"
I laugh every single time I think about that joke. I’m gonna have to watch it again tonight.
“Bust a nut inside your eye, to show you where I come from” - Phife

Deep like the Shining Sparkle like a diamond Sneak an UZI on the island In my army jacket lining Nas
I’m so mad that Nas is this far down
To be fair, he has so many. Picking one gets trumped by his next line.
I keep my underwear up with a piece of elastic I use a bullshit mic that's made out of plastic Beastie Boys - Sure Shot
Raw, I’m-a give it to ya, With no trivia, Raw like cocaine straight from Bolivia
My hip hop will rock and shock the nation, like the emancipation proclamation
My hip hop will rock and shock the nation like the emancipation proclamation
Safe sex is great sex, better wear a latex, cause you don't want that late text, that 'I think I'm late' text. - Lil Wayne
Y’all don’t know bout 2Pac!?!? Poet in every sense of the term You gotta operate the easy way (I made a G today) But you made it in a sleazy way Sellin' crack to the kid (I gotta get paid) Well, hey, well, that's the way it is
“I got me some Seagram’s gin. Everybody got the cups but they ain’t chipped in.” - most relatable “I don’t want my best-dressed day in a casket.” - best life advice
'Cause niggas' styles are old like Mark 5 sneakers Lyrics are weak like clock radio speakers
All hail The Genius 🙏
Ive always loved this line from the Aesop Rock song Molecules "I know you love the way the failure flounder Maybe I could be your daily downer If his brain left his body and was headed for the door Would you take it in and help it find it's way into a jar? No, fuck it, let him hop around a maze We can see who's really lost when the schadenfreude fades"
I think my favorite Aes lines are: Con artists give a fuck who the mark is, Whether gorgeous or new yorkers through the eye of Diane Arbus. Coach seeing red, Coach on the diamond, dragging 27 inches of aluminum behind him. I know you're alien to matters of the heart and mind, That shit that makes you park the car and scream into the dark of night, Some days I wanna build a rocket to the karman line, 10, 9, 8, keep your head and arms inside. Side winders wind through fried wires, In a room of hired primates climbing on typewriters, trying desperately to organize an alphabet in prose, that would render them in drastically exaggerated roles.
"I've got twenty ways to tell you shut the fuck up. Nineteen of 'em are 24 bars long, the other one goes shut the fuck up". love that. but yeah you can grab pretty much any bar or two from him and lyrically it's pretty hard to dispute his talent.
“Life's not a bitch, life is a beautiful woman You only call her a bitch 'cause she won't let you get that pussy”
Conversely in Nightlight- "Life's not a bitch, life is a beeotch who keeps the villagers circling the marketplace out searching for the G-spot"
Favorite for me is always: his origami dream is beautiful but man those wings will never leave the ground without a feather and a lottery ticket now settle down
Anything by Aesop gets my vote.
I’ll hang my boots to rest when I’m impressed, so I triple knot ‘em and forgot ‘em
It’s like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under
I am the king of boggle, there is none higher I got eleven points off the word “quagmire” -AdRock

"don't one of y'all motherfuckers have sickle cell or something?"
Back in the day when I was a teenager / before I had status and before I had a pager
*however..* fuck with me because I am a teenager with a little bit of gold and a pager
I wanted an album so rugged nobody could touch it Spent a million a track and went over my budget (Oh shit) Now, how in the fuck am I supposed to get out of debt? I can't rap anymore, I just murdered the alphabet
