"Sentence begins indented with formality
My duration's infinite, moneywise or physiology
Poetry, that's a part of me, retardedly bop
I drop the ancient manifested hip-hop, straight off the block"

"My intellect prevails from a hanging cross with nails
I reinforce the frail, with lyrics that's real
Word to Christ, a disciple of streets, trifle on beats
I decipher prophecies through a mic and say peace."

"It's like that, you know it's like that
I got it hemmed, now you never get the mic back
When I attack, there ain't an army that could strike back"

"Versatile, my style switches like a ******
But not bisexual, I'm an intellectual
Of rap, I'm a professional and that's no question, yo"

"It ain't hard to tell, I excel, then prevail
The mic is contacted, I attract clientele
My mic check is life or death, breathin a sniper's breath
I exhale the yellow smoke of buddha through righteous steps"

"Vocals'll squeeze glocks, MC's eavesdrop
Though they need not to sneak
My poetry's deep, I never fell
Nas's raps should be locked in a cell
It ain't hard to tell "

 

[IAmBlu3]

Post more Mos. I can't listen to his music but I know he can spit.

 

[IAmBlu3]

I'm still trying to understand that Killing Fields line.

 

[soap]

I'm still trying to understand that Killing Fields line.

like the sierra leone diamonds for example. People die/ are enslaved and killed for other people's profits. The literal killing fields need blood so that the cash cow (diamonds in this case) can be reaped.

But the metaphor is pretty universal. Type of **** has been going on forever.

reminds me of another line. "Well the answer is, it's not me where the cancer is, they've been doing this since before Jesus of Nazareth." - K'naan

 

[soap]

Can't decide if I like the crazy smooth sounding aesthetic type lines more, or the ones with a pretty cool message/meaning.

When the two are combined it is the ****.

 

[Jane]

Can't decide if I like the crazy smooth sounding aesthetic type lines more, or the ones with a pretty cool message/meaning.

When the two are combined it is the ****.

and thats why i love mos and andre 3k so much. they intergrate both so well its ridiculous.

 

[IAmBlu3]

Ah. Okay. Back to Nas.

"Life's a *****, but God-forbid the ***** divorce me
I'll be flooded with ice so hellfire can't scorch me"

"Beef with housin police, release scriptures that's maybe Hitler's"

"I'm the young city bandit, hold myself down singlehanded
For murder raps I kick, my thoughts alone get remanded
Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne
I'm deep by sound alone, caved inside a thousand miles from home
I need a new *****, for this black cloud to follow
Cause while it's over me it's too dark to see tomorrow"

"Some do minor **** swear they on the top of they game"

"The glimmers of hope provoke those without dollars to dream
Through your existence become wealthy knowledge is king

That last one didn't catch how dope it was the first time i listened to the song.

 

[soap]

Can't remember too much Andre off the top of my head.
except for:
"Dearly beloved we are gathered, like soap is to lather we come clean"

only remember it cuz my tag is in there lol

I love that book of rhymes line. Didn't really pay attention at first either. The last verse of that song about his daughter had me like, whoa, first time I heard it. Thought it was really poetic.

 

[soap]

there are so many ridiculously dope lines out there, but I will try to stick to some lesser known ones, or just the ones that I have found personally inspiring and have stuck with me.

"**** wishing on a star, cuz the percentage you gettin of what you envisioned is small." - blu (don't waste your life dreaming and waiting for **** to happen)

"I take inspiration from the most heinous of situations, creating medication out of my own tribulations." - k'naan (I guess just a positive outlook when **** is fuked up)

there is typically always some kind of inspiration in every song of my favorite mc's. I forget the lines and stuff but I like to think that it is still there sub-consciously.

I've also thought about how you empower the lyrics yourself by believing in them. Much like with other ideas and opinions you have to agree and endorse them for it to stick with you. The crazy range of ideas just kind of makes music listening a fun process imo. Even listening to bad stuff occasionally, cuz it's fun to hate on stuff too. lol.

 

[IAmBlu3]

Agree entirely with the last statement. Now, back to Nas.

"Rap became a version of Malcom and Martin"

"The beauty of life, was when my mom said ***** you could be Christ
I wasn't old enough to hold my **** and pee right, "Jesus"!
What is he like? I picture him standing with diamonds on him
Little different from the way my mommy saw him"

"My lawyers only see the Billboard charts as winning
Forgetting - Nas the only true rebel since the beginning
Still in musical prison, in jail for the flow
Try telling Bob Dylan, Bruce, or Billy Joel
They can't sing what's in their soul"

"Do not speak to fools; they scorn the wisdom of your words"

"I'll never leave the streets, it's all in my mind
Even with sleep I'm duckin nines in my dreams
Si-rens, wide awake, why'd I think it would change
Can't hide when you famous or even try to do the same things like
Somebody's always watchin, my life
Before I, walk out the door I size up every option
Eyes cut every direction, it's like God or guns
Which is better protection? Can't decide, that's a hard one"

 

[Jane]

tl;dr

 

[MBlaze]

Well since Blu3 went and ****ed it up for me being as Nas stan too and pretty much got my favorite ones I guess I'll do a Jay-Z one that I lilke a Big L one and one Nas one that he didn't manage to take xD.

"The closest of friends when we first started
But grew apart as the money grew, and soon grew black-hearted
Thinkin' back when we first learned to use rubbers
He never learned so in turn I'm kidnappin' his baby's mother
My hand around her collar, feeding her cheese
She said the taste of dollars was ****ty so I fed her fifties
About his whereabouts I wasn't convinced
So I kept feedin' her money 'til her **** started to make sense" - D'Evils, Jay-Z

"Turn your tux red, I'm far from broke, got enough bread
And mad hoes, ask beavis I get nuttin butt-head
my game is, vicious and cool
****in chicks is a rule
If my girl think I'm loyal then that ***** is a fool" - 98 Freestyle, Big L

I just got that "If my girl think I'm loyal then that ***** is a fool" line today. lol clever.

"I still remain the mack flyest in the phat Kani, it's --
-- just the killer in me, slash drug dealer MC
Ex-slug filler, semi mug peeler
Demi, bottles of Mo', yo simply follow me flow
Put poetry inside a crack pot and blow" - Take it in Blood, Nas

There's some others but I don't feel like thinking that far into it right now, back to my paper.

 

[Jane]

Big L's 98 freestyle is quotable from start to finish.

 

[Luigitoilet]

I thought the question was favorite lines, not whole stanzas

[Boofy!]

also wtf serin any self respecting black dude should not be watching that ****

 

[o-Serin-o]

I have a huge sense of self-loathing right now. But I can live with it.

Just watch it. It's a good show. Be open-minded about it and disregard the fact that it's suppose to be for little girls.


And for the record, I'm 16. Least I'm not a 24 year old man watching it <_<

 

[ETWIST51294]

I would get my *** beat if I said I watched that gay *** ****. Either that, or get absolutly no ***** for the rest of my HS days.

 

[Jane]

 

[rhan]

There is no manhood in MLP.

No matter what age you're watching it.

Lmfaoooooo @ Jane's post!

 

[o-Serin-o]

Nobody outside of SWF is gonna know.

But I'll be damned if I change my avatar, sig, etc.

 

[Boofy!]

 

[Reizilla]

This thread is hilarious.

 

[o-Serin-o]

*de ad*

 

[Boofy!]

This thread is hilarious.

what an incredibly appropriate avatar you have there.

 

[Reizilla]

Only because I lost a pride match.

 

[Boofy!]

"And i don't wanna keep bringing up the greater times, but I'm a dreamer and nostalgic with the state of mind"

 

[o-Serin-o]

Where the Lupe quotes at?

 

[Boofy!]

"Took both pills, when a bloke in a trench coat
And the locs in the chair had approached him here
And he clear as a ghost, so a biter of the throats in the mirror"

-Dumb it down

"my songs carrying the clubs like Bagger Vance" -- Bagger Vance was a caddy

"And I flip pies
3 14-inch rims and they runnin' on the side
West that is, yes, F to the I (West Side) throw it up
Now back to the pies
Wasn't talking 'bout Snoop Dogg's wheels there"

"Yessuh my lifestyle's the sh*t
They sh*t lifestyles of that sh*t"

- Absolut Freestyle

"Guess who's on third?
Lupe steal like Lupin the 3rd"

"Here like ear 'til I'm beer on the curb
Peachfuzz buzz but beard on the verge"

"I'm back on the block like I'm laying on the street
I'm trying to stop "lion" like I'm Mum-Ra
But I'm not lyin' when I'm laying on the beat"

-Touch the sky

if any of that goes over your head or if you missed a reference go to rapgenius.com and look up the song

 

[Savon]

I like how Serin says that as if his pachirisu avatar is much better. And holy **** I died watching that niki lil Kim battle.

 

[Boofy!]

^I like how you knew exactly what that thing was called

 

[o-Serin-o]

You can back the **** up off my Pachirisu, *****.

 

[T3h Albino]

alright let's get to it with these lines

"Friendship don't mean **** cause most *****s is worms; That means they faker than snakes but still slither and squirm"

"I'm at wary of these weak MC's, That exploit they own people like BET;
You ever seen an EBE on MTV, Naw these bars belong on the BBC;
But **** rap I should work as an EMT, the way I turn protools to an EEG
An that booth to an ER, After each bar I tell the beat dont you ****ing die on Me"

"It aint all about economy so the fact that all these wack MC's is making G's don't bother me;
Honestly my number one policy is quality, Never sell my soul is my philosophy;
High velocity, lyrics like Nastradamous make a prophecy, Told you cat's a long time ago there ain't no stopping me"

"Over here it's the drug trade we die from drugs, Over there they die from what we buy from drugs"

"Let me catch you tappin' my floor like Savianna Moss
Hope you like the sound of hollow, I got more
I black out like boss, how you gonna back out?
There's no back doors, like Porsche"

"Who gon' bring the game back?
Who gon' spit that Ramo on the train tracks
That gold rope, that five-finger ring rap
Runnin' with my same pack
You can find the Christ where the lepers and the lames at"

"I used to have
Peace, serenity, teaching divinity
Break bread, sipping the blood, eating with enemies
Blind, pearl on my mind thinking we fittin' to be
This, that, and the third
Boy did I learn, tables turn"

"This the vivid memoirs of an obnoxious slave" (This line hit me like :O)

"Scholars wonder why does he bust
Allah blessed me with a midasy touch
Everything I lay to hand turn to Ethiopian gold, shiny and buff
I got a firm understanding of the minus and plus"

 

[ETWIST51294]

^I like how you knew exactly what that thing was called

I know all the pokemon by heart besides the gen 5 joints. I told my friends that **** too. And what nigga.

Spoiler

But I told them that I've known them from a young age as an excuse.

And i can't do this "top rhymes" ****. Too many.

 

[soap]

tl;dr

lmao

I thought the question was favorite lines, not whole stanzas

Swooping the industry like a bird to prey
My stanzas got stamina, ya verses lack vertebrae
- kweli

but ya, people are posting god damn entire songs

lil kim vs nicki battle

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9ft1S10PSA

lmao

the best female rapper, is hardly you...
I spit fire, turn this barbie into barbecue

abadadadadadadbaaadadadaaaa lmao nailed it. She always does that order of voices.

Where the Lupe quotes at?

Lupe off the top:

You don't stand a chance, matter of fact you don't have the half the stance to stand if you stood half a chance

Coupled with compositions from Pac, Nas' It Was written
In the mix with my realities and feelings
Living conditions, religion, ignorant wisdom, and artistic vision I began to jot, tap the world and listen, it drop.
(I like both those couplets separately, but since I wanted to post them both I decided to post them together as they appeared)

I found a condom on the ground and thought what constitutes a prostitute is the pursuit of profit

And I'm gonna stop quoting Hurt Me Soul now but I could keep going

Working Like a, hmm.... reverse archaeologist, except, his buried treasure was sunshine

I'm on my black man in the future ****, I'm on my Billy Dee
(even though star wars was A LONG TIME AGO in a galaxy far far away)

"I'm at wary of these weak MC's, That exploit they own people like BET;
You ever seen an EBE on MTV, Naw these bars belong on the BBC;
But **** rap I should work as an EMT, the way I turn protools to an EEG
An that booth to an ER, After each bar I tell the beat dont you ****ing die on Me"



"I used to have
Peace, serenity, teaching divinity
Break bread, sipping the blood, eating with enemies
Blind, pearl on my mind thinking we fittin' to be
This, that, and the third
Boy did I learn, tables turn"

who spit that emt line? dopeee

I love Amnesia

 

[T3h Albino]

It was Prince EA, in his Make Smart Cool verse.
@soap

 

[IAmBlu3]

Alby, learn a little marketing, would ya? You're supposed to use this moment to post some of your lines, show us your not that wack.

 

[Jane]

Prince Ea is now one of my favorite rappers.

 

[~N9NE~]

c/s the love for Amnesia.

I'ma reel off some Budden bars off top.

''There's always a million more pages when my stupid *** keep thinking I'm on the last chapter.''

''Everybody in the hood I dap, since I'm responsible for everybody in the hood that rap
they don't like how I do ****, say I changed
I'm thesame ***** that you all went to high school with''

''After all these years I'm still the same drug addict
and it's ****ed up I'm sober with them same drug habits
I still pinch, thief, con and lie, rob, shoot
difference now is I ain't high''

''They say you soft when you move out the hood.
And so my goal is to make all of my loved ones punks.
My Pop. My Mother. My Son. His Mother. My Girl. My Brother
My entire squad will be soft from far!''

''I never had an issue with trust,
Never knew u had an issue with lust
We can get thru anything in the world if the issue's discussed
Was it a whole separate issue? or an issue with us?
But it gets bigger, you doubting you, you like sh*t *****!
Was his money longer? or his d*ck bigger?
You getting sick ***** when u alone
And just you & your imagination you paint a sick picture ''

''Half of me still witchu & I don't care ya'll
Other half with her, I'm stuck, so I compare ya'll
Me & her's now, me & you got memories
Me & you got love, me & her got chemistry
She's like a friend 2 me, you like the enemy
Or maybe she's there jus 2 cover that resentment B''

''Just when you think you wanna go on without the hype
Is when you go to do a show and see the crowd so hyped (And the...)
Die hard fans say "you changed my whole life"
So I sacrifice mine and gratify you with the rhymes (Yeah!)
Folks from the hood, that see you as a stand out
Outweigh the *****z in the hood with their hand out''

''Listen... ain't **** like seeing your moms crying on the floor
Knowing you the reason why she ain't alright no more''

''Oxymoron, stubborn as a brick yall
I'm a five star suite with the view of a brick wall.''

''I'm everything the hip hop critics try to slide
Got no problem bringin' out the **** hip hop hides
So I do the club **** for the blind, they can't see
You write some substance and sometimes they can't read''

And this verse >>>>

''I got a brother always keeps it real, his name's Guilt
Let's me know I can't stand however it is I feel
I got a cousin named Pride, ***** acts like a lawyer
Gotta a sister named Karma, I be tryna' avoid 'er
Gotta ex that's bitter, wants me to be her *****
Hates my girl Self-Pity 'cause I'm always with her
But bitter's beef is valid, she don't like shorty 'cause she use me
One time she seen 'er verbally abuse me
Got a friend that's passive, friends call him Passive
He just says whatever hoping that **** passes
My Uncle Hindsight wears real thick glasses
Reminds me of where I been and how **** gets drastic
Got a Aunt named Humility, she speaks low mumbles
Don't care that I'm a rapper she keeps me so humble
In my head I'll debate it, outloud I'll never say it
I'm pretty sure it's a good reason we all related.''

More to come.
