OT: Rap lyrics that still make you say WOW!!

[TKF]

Since we have been talking about rap here quite a bit and since we are all captivated about a possible zach deal, I want to switch things up a bit. Now with airing of the horrible VMA awards, many of us "old heads" are just fed up with the state of rap. So I spent the other day just looking up lyrics of great rappers and rap songs. I am going to post a verse or two. Maybe this will bring back some memories for some of us. I will start with Big daddy kane and raw. the first verse was crazy.. and honestly he was ahead of his time back in the 80's..

Here I am, R-A-W
A terrorist, here to bring trouble to
phony MC's, I move on and seize
I just conquer and stomp another rapper with ease
Cause I'm at my apex and others are below
Nothing but a milliliter, I'm a kilo
Second to none, making MC's run
So don't try to step to me, cause I ain't the one
I relieve rappers, just like Tylenol
And they know it, so I don't see why you all
try to front, perpetratin a stunt
when you know that I'll smoke you up like a blunt
I'm genuine like Gucci, raw like sushi
To stage a rage is what rap did to me
To make me want to create, chaos and mayhem
Cold rock a party, until the A.M.
I'll make a muscle, grab the mic and hustle
While you stand dazed and amazed, I bust a
little rhyme with authority, superiority
And captivate the whole crowd's majority
The rhymes I use definitely amuse
Better than Dynasty, or Hill Street Blues
I'm sure to score adored for more without a flaw
Cause I get RAW!



Kane's Delivery was sick!!!!

I always have a plethora of 2pac music in my car...

Changes
How ahead of his time was this guy?
"And though it seems heaven sent, we ain't ready for a black president"

I ain't Mad Atcha
Now the whole **** changed
and we dont even kick it
got a big money scheme
and you aint even wit it

I know we grew apart
You Probably don't rememba
I used to feen for your sista
but never went up in her... LOL

I miss pac, but listening to his music today I am happy I was a teenager in the 90's

[adjacent2bench]

I have plenty but I'm gonna start with some Slim Shady

First verse of Eminem's "Infinite"

Aiyyo, my pen and paper cause a chain reaction
To get your brain relaxin, cause they be actin maniac in action
A brainiac in fact son, you mainly lack attraction
You looking zany whack with just a fraction of my tracks run
My rhyming skills got you climbing hills
I travel through your mind into your spine like siren drills
I'm sliming pills or roaches, we sprayed and disinfects
and twist the necks of rappers till their spinal column disconnects
We disinfect then check the monologue, turn your system up
Twist them up, and indulge in the marijuana smog
This is the season for noise pollution contamination
Examination of more cartoons than animation
My lamination of narration
Hit's a snare and bass in a track **** up rapper interrogation
When I declare invasion, there ain't no time to be stare and gazing
I turn the stage into a barren wasteland...
I'm Infinite

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2ne2nZzqJ8

His delivery was reminiscent of like comvbo of AZ and Nas. Whenever ignorant people call Eminem wack I always refer them to this song.

[Fury]

Also Eminem:

My Dad's Gone Crazy, last verse:

"My songs can make you cry, take you by surprise
And at the same time, make you dry your eyes with the same rhyme
see what you're seeing is a genius at work
Which to me isn't work, so it's easy to misinterpret it at first,
Cuz when i speak, it's tongue in cheek
I'd yank my **** teeth before id ever bite my tongue
I'd slice my gums, get struck by ****' lightning twice at once
And die and come back as vanilla ice's son
And walk around the rest of my life spit on
And kicked and hit with ****, every time i sung
Like r kelly as soon as "bump n' grind" comes on
More pain inside of my brain, than the eyes of a little girl inside of a plane
Aimed at the world trade, standin' on ronny's grave,
Screaming at the sky, till clouds gather as clyde mathers and bonnie jade
And thats pretty much the gist of it,Parents are pissed, but the kids love it
Nine millimeter, heater stashed, in two-seaters with meat cleavers
I don't blame you, i wouldn't let hailie listen to me neither "

[kfig5]

This one is one of my all time favorites...

I got you stuck off the realness, we be the infamous
you heard of us
official Queensbridge murderers
the Mobb comes equipped with warfare, beware
of my crime family who got nuff shots to share
for all of those who wanna profile and pose
rock you in your face, stab your brain wit' your nosebone
you all alone in these streets, cousin
every man for theirself in this land we be gunnin'
and keep them shook crews runnin'
like they supposed to
they come around but they never come close to
I can see it inside your face
you're in the wrong place
cowards like you just get they're whole body laced up
with bullet holes and such
speak the wrong words man and you will get touched
you can put your whole army against my team and
I guarantee you it'll be your very last time breathin'
your simple words just don't move me
you're minor, we're major
you all up in the game and don't deserve to be a player
don't make me have to call your name out
your crew is featherweight
my gunshots'll make you levitate
I'm only nineteen but my mind is old
and when the things get for real my warm heart turns cold
another **** deceased, another story gets told
it ain't nothin' really
hey, yo dun spark the Phillie
so I can get my mind off these yellowbacked ****
why they still alive I don't know, go figure
meanwhile back in Queens the realness is foundation
if I die I couldn't choose a better location
when the slugs penetrate you feel a burning sensation
getting closer to God in a tight situation
now, take these words home and think it through
or the next rhyme I write might be about you

[eviL]

Oh man.. Killah Sin off Masta Killa's 9th Chamber:

I stay lurking, circling the premisis
Dark Killah Sin on the search for arch-nemesis
Concoctin neuro-toxin out of synonym
Send your physical in triple shock
Crippled in the detox with no rememberance
While I rocks the maximum shows with no minimum
Capacity to pack the front row with flows naturally
Killing 'em, swing on stage like jagged pendulums
And blow like 30 schrapnel grenades with no pins in them

I miss pac, but listening to his music today I am happy I was a teenager in the 90's

I love changes, and this verse in changes was classic tupac

And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace
It's war on the streets & the war in the Middle East
Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs
so the police can bother me
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do
But now I'm back with the blacks givin' it back to you
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up,
crack you up and pimp smack you up

white man's world by 2pac

Dear sister, got me twisted up in prison I miss ya
Cryin lookin at my niece's and my newphew's picture
They say don't let this cruel world get ya, kinda suspicious
Swearin one day you might leave me, for somebody that's richer
Twist the cap off the bottle, I take a sip and see tomorrow
Gotta make if I have to beg or borrow
Readin love letters; late night, locked down and quiet
If brothers don't recieve they mail best believe we riot
Eatin Jack-Mack, starin at walls of silence
inside this cage where they captured all my rage and violence
In time I learned a few lessons, never fall for riches
Aplogizies to my TRUE sisters; far from bitches
Help me raise my black nation reperations are due, it's true
Caught up in this world I took advantage of you
So tell the babies how I love them, precious boys and girls
Born black in this white man's world - and all I heard was

Bein born with less I must confess only adds on to the stress
Two gunshots to my homie's head, dyed in his vest
Shot him to death and left him bleedin for his family to see
I pass his casket gently askin, is there heaven for G's?
My homeboy's doin life, his baby momma be stressin
Sheddin tears when her son, finally ask that questions
Where my daddy at? Mama why we live so poor?
Why you cryin? Heard you late night through my bedroom door
Now do you love me mama? Whitey keep on callin me ****?
Get my weight up with my hate and pay 'em back when I'm bigger
And still thuggin in this jail cell, missin my block
Hearin brothers screamin all night, wishin they'd stop
Proud to be black but why we act like we don't love ourselves
Don't look around busta (you sucka) check yourselves
Know what it MEANS to be black, whether a man or girl
We still strugglin, in this white man's world

So tell me why you -
changed to choose a new direction, in the blink of an eye
My time away just made perfection, did you think I'd die?
Not gon' cry, why should I care
Like we holdin on to lost love that's no longer there
Can you please help me, God bless me please keep my seeds healthy
Makin all my enemies bleed while my G's wealthy
Hopin they bury me with ammunitions, weed, and shells
Just in case they trip in heaven - ain't no G's hell
Sister sorry for the pain that I caused your heart
I know I'll change if you help me, but don't fall apart
Rest in peace to Latasha, Lil' Yummy, and Kato
Too much for this cold world to take - ended up bein fatal
Every women in America, especially black
Bear with me, can't you see, that we under attack
I never meant to cause drama, to my sister and mama
Hope we make it, to better times, in this white man's world

On some real, Cuban Link gotta be one of the most underrated rappers out there.

This is the first verse off of Big Pun's "Glamour Life."

Yo, I plan to live a life a-glamour
Like my man tony montana
Stand and pose in front of cameras
With my golden silk pajamas on
Smoking havanas, drinking don p
Thinking beyond deeper than ghandi, while Im in the diamante
Counting my gs, Im out to be a millionare
Dipped in gear, flickin hundred dollar bills in the air
Oh yeah, cuban link is into getting benjamins
Cuz if doesnt make dollars, then it doesnt make sense
I represent, Im in to be the king of new york
Went from living in tenements to up in house resorts
Im the latino, thatll take you to war like al pacino
Even de niro know not to gamble in my casino
Vino wanna rock, slaps, to dinners with mobsters
I got **** locked from prospect ave. to the tropics
Sitting on top of the world like the sun
A living legend from the bronx, second to none, unless its pun

[BBALLER4FR]

Throughout the years the situation's gotten hectical
My life is in a septic so, it's yet to be respectable
I've lived the vile life, it's hard to grow without a hero
when added up my days on earth will just amount to zero
I be the bonafide, my lyrical is modified
and though it's hard to strive I'll never have a nine to five
Or any job, you care to come an see the cards that I be holding
Not sellin' heroine, but keep a million dolla's rolling
I hang with true freaks and snatch whatever I seeks
whenever I speaks My versatility's unique
I spit the fluid like a camel in the desert sand
I take flight, but after flight the reaper never lands
I call the shots keep it real kid ya just pathetic
I'll paralyze ya so ya best to call a paramedic
Cause as I paraphrase I'm parachutin' all up in it
Paraphernalia will keep me parallel a minute
And then I give em sh*t to ponder on
My word is born, so you can let the mind-a just-a wander on
And if you parents never heard of me
Well I'm a deviantal delinquent, ya mom's will wanna murder me
Get in line, best to wait cause I never stop
I'm the bomb detonate and blowin' up the spot
Nagasaki, Hiroshima we can get it on
Because my sh*t is on

- BBALLER4FR is Nasty!!!

Freestyle of the Arsonists on Blaze:

I suggest you keep your distance
my death blow's inevitable and your susceptible
to physical injury this music industry if full of sh*t
that's why I'm flippin, dippin, and diving,
phony executives who keep always consecutive,
we also got alot of actors who claim they bring the drama
the only way you getting laid out is with your momma
commas, couldn't stop me semi colons and hyphens
when I freestyle 200 words per minute, speed type when I'm hyping,
I see the light at the end of the tunnel like one in the chamber
ready to penetrate a stranger, I love the smell of danger
hearing the word Arsonists ain't hard to figure yet
gotta stop smoking MCs, somebody pass me the Nicorette

[Brownsville's Finest]

black girl lost by nas

A young wild beautiful love child
You like them thug style link rockin, then mink coppin
Hit you on the sink a hundred dollar drink poppin
The head'll make you take him shoppin, a foul doctrine
Reminiscent of my first time up in a chick
You was innocent, but now you rent-a-dick, wear the tightest ****
Chanel lookin real, airbrushed nails
Hit the gym, hit the scales, heaven-sent but negligent (so fine..)
To see a prophecy, your ebony tone is lockin me
The way you moan make me daydream of you on top of me
Wishin I could be the one man; but you juggle
way too many Willies all in one hand
You wanna run up in clubs, gettin rubbed on
**** pull your hair, shake your fat rear
Get your **** on - followin week, you back there
But what you stuck on, weed, clowns and cars
Puffin with some lil ****, husband not knowin she's out
Could you believe Eve, Mother Earth of the seas
**** thirst you, you just let em hurt you and leave
What up mah, frontin like you naive
Pusherman's whip, callin police when you flip
Can't understand it, yo it should be a throne for us
But for now that's a whole different zone from us, word!

Like Isis, she got you heartbroke and felt lifeless
Grow up girl instead you want revenge so now you act the nicest
to who'sever gettin down and trifless
To get his mind all you do is give him somethin priceless
Cause in time he'll realize the thighs is all he needs
More than weed, then you hit him off with lies and greed (deceit, yeah)
There you go again, startin wars, makin me more yours
Seem to get a kick out of keepin me on all fours
Face glistenin, I'm addicted to you
Original, Wisdom Body got me picturin you
Igloos of ice trickin on you, you never listen
to this **** spendin Franklins on tennis anklets
Must've had a bad deal in the past though
Can't even keep it real with a **** with cash flow
Say men are all the same, what we need to do is break this chain
You got a job part-time and school's your night thing
With dreams to settle down, it ain't far from now
You gettin interviewed, but your boss is into gettin screwed
Typical day that the black girl sees
Comin home wantin more from a college degree

Where are you focused, on legit **** and where the coke is
Nice and Thug Life ****, yo you seem hopeless
Your value - too much to be measured, I wonder how you
could ever be played, your pussy worth gold amountin to
more than the world, but not knowin nothin about you
You leavin the crib, takin all your kids out to
drop them off, lettin some **** knock you off
So hot and soft, that's the same thing that got you lost (you should be ashamed)
Growin up seein it, it should remind you, you bein lied to
Everything that move be inside you
Sacred as you are, left with these wannabes to guide you
I watched you, hard to knock you, I tried not to
They spot you out dancin topless in your drawers
Damn look, there goes a black girl lost

[BLACKFEET]

went to the mall the other day heard a call from the other way tht i just came from
some **** was sayin' some'n talkin' bout,"..'sup man, 'member me from school?"
nah not really but he kept smilin' like a clown facial expression looking silly
then he starts askin' me,"what kinda car you drive? i know yall paid i know you got
beaucoup witholds from all them songs that yall done made"
then i replied i been going through the same thing that he has
true i got more fans that the average man but not enough doe to last me...
til the end of the week we move to the beat like you live check to check
so if you dont move yo' feet then we dont eat so we like neck to neck
and we done come a long way like them slim ass cigarettes from virginia ...
no we wont stop so we just gon' continue...

andre 3000 of outkast
"elevators (me and you)"
of the atliens album
one of my favorite verses all time
dude is a poet

[Brownsville's Finest]

every ghetto by nas

My skin is a art gallery, right - with paintings of crucifixes
Hopin' to save me from all the dangers in the music business
Was once a young gangsta hangin' with youth offenders
But since I tasted paper it started losin the friendships
Watchin' kids freeze in winters, they still poor
How could I tease them with Benz's and feel no remorse
Drivin' past them in the lively fashion, diamond colors clashin'
Red stones, blue stones, red bones and black ones
**** did I expect with bucket seats in a Lex
And spendin' time in Chuckie Cheese with Little Des
Got guns when I'm with my daughter
Hate to bring a violent aura in her presence
She knows what daddy taught her, it's lessons
Black princess it's a ugly world
I put my life up for yours, see I love that girl
Could you believe even my shadow's jealous
My skin is mad at my flesh, my flesh hates my own bones
My brain hates my heart, my heart makes the songs
Though my songs come from the Father
I'm lonely...
Hold me, it's gettin' darker

[HEZI]

Jadakiss "Bring you down"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LP1vT0m2IU4

Top of the food chain, It's just the way that I do things
The dungaree seats in the blue Range
I'm working with new change, a Gemini **** with mood swings
had the fiends looking for new things
I stopped playin' with birds and stated playin' with words
the money wasn't right, so I had to stay on the kerb
And I'll be a player later. But for now
Call me pootay 'Kiss, if not that? Montega Jada
I kick hard bars and blow hard weed
and be everywhere, 'cause I move at God's speed
And my aim is to make y'all bleed
Y'all got embarrassed in the class when the teacher used to make y'all read
Uh-huh, Mind over matter
And that's all good but **** that
My new **** is spine over bladder
And everybody tryin'a get to the top, and that's all good too
but right now - I'm on the ladder

diamonds are forever by jay z

Yeah, "The Blueprint 2" homey, follow the moves
You put on two tube socks, you couldn't walk in my shoes
I was dealt a bad hand, **** what else could I do
but keep somethin up my sleeve that'll help me through
But can you believe, everywhere I'm at, models come through
Cat-fightin, cat-walkin, it happens often
It's true how society don't want me to move
into the penthouse building with spectacular views
They're like uhh, "He's a menace he could never be a tenant"
I'm like ooh, what's a young **** to do?
I bring the brothers to the building give a feeling that I don't
give a **** we just chillin watchin chandelier ceilings high as ****
Old lady, don't blow my high
'specially if you don't know my life, don't make me bring
Sharpton in it cause I'm dark-skinneded or
dude with the 'fro and the Rainbow Coalition, I'ma
victim of a single parent household, born in a mousehole
Mousetrap, **** wanna know
How so, how Jay get up out that, here, yeah
I snatched purses I per-se-vered, yeah
I had work, fiends purchased, it was clear
I was out there sellin hope for despair, but stop there
I swear, I only make good from my mouth to God's ears
Had to get out the hood
And I can't justify genocide
But I was born in the city where the skinny **** die
Born in the city where the skinny **** ride
And as a skinny **** I had beef with high size

dynasty intro by jay z

The theme song to +The Sopranos+
plays in the key of life on my, mental piano
Got a strange way of seein life like
I'm Stevie Wonder with, beads under the doo-rag
Intuition is there even when my vision's impaired, yeah
Knowin I can go, just switchin a spare
On the highway of life, **** it's sharp in my sight
Oh! Keen senses ever since I was a, teen on the benches
everytime somebody like Enus was mentioned
I would turn green, me, bein in the trenches
Him, livin adventureous not worryin about expenditures
I'm bravin temperatures below zero, no hero
No father figure, you gotta pardon a ****
But I'm starvin my ****, and the weight loss in my figure
is startin to darken my heart, bout to get to my liver
Watch it my ****, I'm tryin to be calm but I'm gon' get richer
through any means, with that thing that Malcolm palmed in the picture
Never read the Qu'ran or Islamic scriptures
Only psalms I read was on the arms of my ****
Tattooed so I carry on like I'm non-religious
Clap whoever stand between Shawn and figures
****, say it's the dawn/Don but I'm superstitious
**** is as dark as it's been, nothin is goin as you predicted
I move with biscuits, stop the harder **** actin too suspicious
This is, food for thought, you do the dishes
