I WANNA KNOW YOUR FAVORITE VERSE…

FROM ANYBODY, ANY GENRE. I KNOW, HARD ASS QUESTION. GIMME SOME COMMENTS TO THIS POST PEOPLE! CHECK MY FAV:


“Me and everything around me, is unstable like Chernobyl
Ready to go at any moment, jumpin like a pogo stick
Life never lived up to my expectations, so I accept the patience
Expect the worse but now I’m pacin, back and forth
Inside I’m melting like water on wicked witches
A monster truck done came and ran over my picket fences
I had the best of life in my clinches but monkey wrenches was thrown
Like chairs kings sit on, my prayers seem to long
I fall asleep before the endin, don’t even get to say Amen
I hope He understand I be on bended knees
At times, I think I’m crazy, so I say forget it
Or maybe it’s the devil infiltrating and like Riddick…Bowe
I’ve been fighting this since them fetus days
I count from one to twenty, when I’m through, repeat the phrase
It’s just a phase, it’s gon all pass, but that gets old too
I’m weakening like a deacon doin dirt
What am I supposed to do?”

Andre 3000, “Millenium“, from ATLiens

I’ve never heard realer shit said in a verse before. I love it.
Beat that!

    To me, just classic flow and boasting. I could listen to this verse all day:

    Clear like a megaphone
    Pretty nigga heart skipped the metronome
    Rocked the Trump Tower to the terrordome
    Poor house to pleasure domes
    Soprano, alto, tenor to baritone
    MOS DEF one of the illest that you ever known
    Rock steady baby, you a stepping stone
    Smash your foundation into pebbles
    My words leave your nerves unsettled
    You take it to the next level down
    Looking like a circus clown
    Cats like you can’t even get a pound
    Worldwide from the river to lakeside
    My stage show stay live, make the sound man stage dive
    I cut fat cats to eight lives with my eight ball lines
    I’m home ‘fore I’m done with all nine
    Got you shook like a fault line
    Come all shine and get tarnished
    Brooklyn got your pay roll garnished
    They form a huddle
    Whisper like they want trouble
    I melt the ice grills into rainwater puddles
    Make the proud-hearted leave on the humble
    Black steel in the hour
    Assemble my skill form my power
    My poems crush bones into powder
    You mumble like a coward
    I’m Mos Def, you need to speak louder
    SUPER HEREOS!
    Get your power, your masks and capes snatched
    Brooklyn take what you can’t take back
    I know a lot of cats hate that
    All I can say black
    There’s a city full of walls you can post complaints at
    All the doubters and believers adjust your receivers
    “I feel it,” you can taste it through the speakers
    The three six oh-riginal sketch lyrics so visual
    They rent my rhyme books at your nearest home video

    common; aquarius

    people say electric circus was wack…oh contraire…check it

    Nigga deep in the rhythm
    experience speak
    I’m keepin’ the wisdom
    the life hustlers seek
    I seeking it with em
    i’m dope…
    the streets need me to hit em
    With some of that (revolutionary rap)
    Revolutionary blunted rap
    My peoples want hits, I hit it from the back
    Under the cherry moon
    I hold notes and carry tunes
    My guys pack heat enough to bury June
    on my feet, Im getting married soon
    walking in the clouds like Mary Bethune
    Fumes of a real nigga seep into your room
    Or thru fifteens of the jeep that you boom
    Son/sun so many cats, they call me high noon
    Offerings to Osun
    hoping war is over soon
    Guard your grill
    like George Foreman
    Time to build
    far as building im the doorman opening doors
    My blood I expose on the floors tell them the game aint only the score
    Hold on to your life as I carry these styles, to
    have you tapping your head like Darius Miles
    You aint supposed to rhyme
    better off with a clothing line
    In this business of pimps many hos get signed
    Opposed to shine so
    me holding the blinds
    Mixing golden seal and wine, holding a nine
    in the age of aquarius

    Folk in your face, you’re a superstar
    Niggaz hang around cause of who you are
    You get a lot of love cause of what you got
    Say they happy for you but they really not
    Sell a lot of records and you rollin in
    Swoll up in the spot, now you losin friends
    All you wanna do is get to where you are
    but the label tried to make you compromise your art
    You make a million dollars, make a million mo’
    First class probably treat you like a nigga po’
    You wanna say “Wait!” but you’re scared to ask
    as your world starts spinning and it’s moving fast
    Try to stay sane, it’s the price of fame
    Spending your life trying to numb the pain
    You shake that note off and sing a song
    Liberate the minds, then you go on home..

    Erykah Badu - Liberation … and she aint even a rapper… thats off of Outkasts track … a rap verse would have to be

    I got two
    Mos Def on Re Definition
    What, lyrically handsome, call collect a king’s ransom
    Jams I write soon become the ghetto anthem
    Way out like Bruce Wayne’s mansion, move like a phantom
    You’ll talk about me to your grandsons
    Cats who claimin they hard be mad fag
    so I run through em like, flood water through sandbags
    Competition is mad, what I got, they can’t have
    Sinkin they ship, like Moby Dick, did Ahab
    Son I’m way past the minimum, it’s a verb millenium
    My rap’s hold a gat to your back, like Palestinians
    Ancient Abyssinia, sure to hold the Gideon
    Official b-boy gentlemen, long term, never the interim
    Born inside the winter wind, day after December 10
    These simpletons they mentionin the synonym for feminine
    Sweeter than some cinnamon from Danish rings by Entenmann’s
    Rush up on adrenaline, they get they asses sent to them
    (Gentlemen) you got a tenement, well then assemble it!
    Leave your unit tremblin like herds of movin elephant
    Intelligent embellishment, follow for your element
    from Flatbush settlement, skin posseses melanin
    Hotter than tales of crack peddlin, makin em WOOP
    like blue gelatin, swing like Duke Ellington
    Broader than Barrington Levy, believe me
    The hot oppresion rent who burn down your chief teepee
    You see me

    Joe Budden Dumb Out .. the whole track

    AZ from Nas’s Life’s A Bitch:

    Visualizin the realism of life and actuality
    Fuck who’s the baddest a person’s status depends on salary
    And my mentality is, money orientated
    I’m destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made it
    cause yeah, we were beginners in the hood as five percenters
    But somethin must of got in us cause all of us turned to sinners
    Now some, restin in peace and some are sittin in San Quentin
    Others such as myself are tryin to carry on tradition
    Keepin the schwepervesence street ghetto essence inside us
    Cause it provides us with the proper insight to guide us
    Even though, we know somehow we all gotta go
    but as long as we leavin thievin we’ll be leavin with some kind of dough
    so, and to that day we expire and turn to vapors
    me and my capers-ll be somewhere stackin plenty papers
    Keepin it real, packin steel, gettin high
    Cause life’s a bitch and then you die

    So sick of niggas, I want money like Cosby who wouldn’t?
    This’ the kinda talk that make me think you probably ain’t got no puddin’
    Niggas got them kinda dreams from jail
    You in the streets nigga make your moves, get your mill’
    Niggas’ll coast in the SL but can’t post bail
    Niggas’ll, roast a L but, scared to throw your toast, well
    I’m here to tell niggas it ain’t all swell
    there’s heaven, then there’s hell niggas
    One day your cruisin in your 7 next day your sweatin forgettin your lies
    Alibis ain’t matchin up, bullshit catchin up
    Hit with the rico, they repo your vehico’
    Everything was all good just a week ago
    ‘Bout to start bitchin’ ain’t you? Ready to start snitchin’ ain’t you?
    I’ll forgive your weak ass, hustlin’ just ain’t you
    Aside from the fast cars; honey’s that shake they
    ass at bars you know you wouldn’t be involved
    with the underworld dealers, carriers of mac-millers
    East coast bodiers, west coast cap peelers
    Little monkey niggas turn gorillas
    Stopped in the station; filled up on octane
    and now they not sane and not playin’ that goes without sayin’
    Slayin’ day in and day out with money playin’ and then they play you out
    Tryin’ to escape my own mind, lurkin’ the enemy
    Representin’ infinite with presidencies, you know?

    Nas, Escobar 97

    The path we all walk, starts out long it’s like a boardwalk
    monopoly, some make it around, some go down, it’s prophecy
    happy days balancing with life’s atrocities
    hoppin’ in v’s, knowin’ some day I got to lead properly
    high up in a five realizing the price paid
    for this life laid in the light shade
    one might say, top of the world’s two whips, a crib and a girl
    quick to celebrate it, poppin’ corks like they made it
    pretentious, arrogant niggas is senseless
    pro ball players with white wives, peep they night lives
    while you could catch me in a crisp white five
    dark tinted, dijon-scented, with Al Green on
    my theme song, love and happiness, how can it seem wrong
    I mean before this, I used to rock a taurus with the donuts
    now I grown up, got it chromed up
    got the rap game sewn up, sho-nuff
    niggas acting cool, but it’s really no love
    I feel a slow buzz, off the dutch
    this is everyday, every second
    got to make it pay, every lesson I learnt
    got me open while most of these rappers’ll stay burnt

    Talib Kweli, 2000 Seasons

    Im not a human being into no spirtual shit,
    Spiritual being remanifested as a human that’s it
    When i spit i spray thoughts that’s representing my life
    Yo i step into the spot leave niggas open like mics
    Take on em on a tour
    Explore psychologies of war
    Things you can’t imagine if you’ve never seen em before
    Shorties come back raw
    Straight out the c- 74
    I welcome them back to the world they think is run by laws
    The world is run by men who use laws for tools
    I come thru war tactics like Shaka Zulu
    Mcs is soft like play-doh
    I shape ‘em
    smash em to pieces
    Slaves crave the words i’m painting
    The masterpieces
    You hear em on the radio babbling
    But the truth is traveling with the word
    As they’re flying through the air like a javelin
    Unraveling like a verdict
    Pound it in your chest like a gavel in the highest court
    In Bablyon, let’s travel on
    If the world is foul, and you think foul is how you got to live
    Then from the get your ass was foul
    And foul just is how you is
    No excuses see, life’s dilemmas are set up like a mirror
    Just to show you all your faces
    Now your clearer understanding is clearer
    You had your chance for revolution.
    You let it pass you by
    That’s why
    I’m dissing wack mc’s till the day that I die
    Reflection getting you high
    We stand our ground with the believers
    The leaning tower of Pisa and the Pyramids of Giza
    No comparison
    The way I flip it is embarrassing
    Tis the season
    Ain’t no caroling

    This one needs no intro. You newbies will never understand.

    In front of two-inch glass and Arabs I order fries
    Inspiration when I write, I see my daughter’s eyes
    I’m the truth, across the table from corporate lies
    Immortilized by the realness I bring to it
    If revolution had a movie I’d be theme music
    My music, you either fight, fuck, or dream to it
    My life is one big rhyme, I try to scheme through it
    Through my shell, never knew what the divine would bring to it
    I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want millions
    More than money saved, I wanna save children
    Dealing with alcoholism and afrocentricity
    A complex man drawn off of simplicity
    Reality is frisking me
    This industry will make you lose intensity
    The Common Sense in me remembers the basement
    I’m Morpheus in this hip-hop Matrix, exposing fake shit

    Dodging duty for years
    Hating the process

    Oh man, I could play this game all day. Let’s see…..Ish on Digable Planet’s “La Femme Fatal” always hits hard, ’cause it’s truly some other shit to hear a brother talkin about women’s reproductive rights.

    the fascists are some heavy dudes
    they don’t really give a damn about life
    they just don’t want a woman to
    control her body or have the right to choose
    but baby that ain’t nothin
    they just want a male finger on the button
    because if you say war they will send them to die by the score
    aborting mission should be your volition
    but if souter and thomas have their way
    you’ll be standing in line unable to get welfare while they’re out
    hunting and fishing
    it has always been around it will always have a niche
    but they’ll make it a privelege not a right
    accessible only to the rich

    Of course, Mos killlllled it on “Thieves In The Night”

    Yo, I’m sure that everbody out listenin agree
    That everything you see ain’t really how it be
    A lot of jokers out runnin in place, chasin the style
    Be a lot goin on beneath the empty smile
    Most cats in my area be lovin the hysteria
    Synthesized surface conceals the interior
    America, land of opportunity, mirages and camoflauges
    More than usually — speakin loudly, sayin nothin
    You confusin me, you losin me
    Your game is twisted, want me enlisted — in your usary
    Foolishly, most men join the ranks cluelessly
    Buffoonishly accept the deception, believe the perception
    Reflection rarely seen across the surface of the lookin glass
    Walkin the street, wonderin who they be lookin past
    Lookin gassed with them imported designer shades on
    Stars shine bright, but the light — rarely stays on
    Same song, just remixed, different arrangement
    Put you on a yacht but they won’t call it a slaveship
    Strangeness, you don’t control this, you barely hold this
    Screamin brand new, when they just sanitized the old shit
    Suppose it’s, just another clever Jedi mind trick
    That they been runnin across stars through all the time with
    I find it’s distressin, there’s never no in-between
    We either niggaz or Kings
    We either bitches or Queens
    The deadly ritual seems immersed, in the perverse
    Full of short attention spans, short tempers, and short skirts
    Long barrel automatics released in short bursts
    The length of black life is treated with short worth
    Get yours first, them other niggaz secondary
    That type of illin that be fillin up the cemetary
    This life is temporary but the soul is eternal
    Separate the real from the lie, let me learn you
    Not strong, only aggressive, cause the power ain’t directed
    That’s why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive
    Not free, we only licensed
    Not live, we just excitin
    Cause the captors.. own the masters.. to what we writin
    Not compassionate, only polite, we well trained
    Our sincerity’s rehearsed in stage, it’s just a game
    Not good, but well behaved cause the ca-me-ra survey
    most of the things that we think, do, or say
    We chasin after death just to call ourselves brave
    But everyday, next man meet with the grave
    I give a damn if any fan recall my legacy
    I’m tryin to live life in the sight of God’s memory
    Like that y’all

    “Return Of The Crooklyn Dodgers” was just classic all over. Can’t find the lyrics. But my a few of my all all ALL time fave verseS can be found on “Stakes Is High”:

    (Pos)
    The instamatic focal point bringing damage to your boroughs
    Be some brothers from the east with some beats that be thorough
    Got the solar gravitation so I’m bound to pull it
    I gets down like brothers are found ducking from bullets
    Gun control means using both hands in my land
    Where it’s all about the cautious livin’
    Migrating to a higher form of consequence, compliments
    Of strugglin’, that shouldn’t be notable
    Man every word I say should be a hip hop quotable

    [Dove]
    I’m sick of bitches shakin’ asses
    I’m sick of talkin’ about blunts
    Sick of Versace glasses
    Sick of slang
    Sick of half-ass awards shows
    Sick of name brand clothes
    Sick of R&B bitches over bullshit tracks
    Cocaine and crack
    Which brings sickness to blacks
    Sick of swoll’ head rappers
    With their sicker-than raps
    Clappers and gats
    Makin’ the whole sick world collapse
    The facts are gettin’ sick
    Even sicker perhaps
    Stickabush to make a bundle to escape this synapse

    [Pos]
    Man life can get all up in your ass baby you betta work it out
    Let me tell you what it’s all about
    A skin not considered equal
    A meteor has more right than my people
    Who be wastin’ time screaming who they’ve hated
    That’s why the Native Tongues have officially been re-instated

    ([Pos]
    Yo, it’s about love for cars, love for funds
    Loving to love mad sex, loving to love guns
    Love for opposite, love for fame and wealth
    Love for the fact of no longer loving yourself, kid

    We living in them days of the man-made ways
    Where every aspect is vivid
    these brothers no longer talk shit
    Hey yo, these niggas live it

    ‘Bout to give it to you 24/7 on the microphone
    Plug One translating the zone
    No offense to a player, but yo, I don’t play
    And if you take offense, fuck it, got to be that way

    J.D. Dove, show your love, what you got to say?

    [Dove]
    I say G’s are making figures at a high regard
    And niggas dying for it nowadays ain’t odd
    Investing in fantasies and not God
    Welcome to reality, see times is hard
    People try to snatch the credit, but can’t claim the card
    Showing out in videos, saying they cold stars
    See, shit like that will make your mama cry
    Better watch the way you spend it
    ‘Cause the stakes is high

    (Pos)
    I think that smiling in public is against the law
    ‘Cause love don’t get you through life no more
    It’s who you know and “How you, son?”
    And how you gettin’ in, and who the man holding
    Hey yo, and how was the scams and how high
    Yo what up, huh? I heard you caught a body
    Seem like every man and woman shared a life with John Gotti

    [Pos]
    But they ain’t organized!

    [Dove]
    Mixing crimes with life enzymes
    Taking the big scout route
    And niggas know doubt better
    Than they know their daughters
    And their sons
    (Oh boy)

    [Pos]
    Yo, people go through pain and still don’t gain
    Positive contact just like my main man
    Who got others cleaning up his physical influence
    His mind got congested
    He got the nine and blew it
    Neighborhoods are now hoods cause nobody’s neighbors
    Just animals surviving with that animal behavior
    Under I who be rhyming from dark to light sky
    Experiments when needles and skin connect
    No wonder where we live is called the projects
    When them stakes is high you damn sure try to do
    Anything to get the piece of the pie
    Electrify
    Even die for the cash
    But at last I be out even though you wantin’ more
    This issue is closed like an elevator door
    But soon re-opened once we get to the next floor where the….

    (Vibes….vibrations)
    Stakes is high
    Y’all know them stakes is high
    When we talkin’ ’bout the
    (Vibes….vibrations)
    Stakes is high
    Stakes is high, come on

    Hip-Hop quotable, indeed.

    here is another of my personal favorites…

    brand nubian - dont let it go to your head (lord jamar)

    I heard your single on the battle of the beats
    It won five nights, I bet you had the time of your life
    Workin so hard, and so long, to make a record
    Finally to make a song people respected
    Collect the dough at a show as you sip the Mo’
    Now you hittin the flo’, you never hit befo’
    Got you trippin, how much better could it get?
    Got the leather with the work check, all up in the whip
    They’re all legitimate, callin it what it’s really not
    This is just one single you got, that’s really hot
    Tomorrow it could bust just like a blood clot
    Leave you in the dust with your body to rot
    Another party to rock, if it’s you or if it’s me
    it doesn’t matter cause it just won’t stop
    Don’t let your gray matter pop
    Cause when you release the album
    If they don’t cop, you gonna get dropped, so..
    “Don’t let it go your head, no!”
    Cause one single don’t make you a hit
    “Don’t don’t let it go your head, no!”
    Stay true to who you are don’t never forget
    “Don’t let it go your head, no!”
    Keep your feet on solid ground
    “Don’t let it go your head, no no no no no!”
    Cause what goes up, must come down, uhh
    “Don’t let it go your head, no!”
    “Don’t don’t let it go your head, no!”
    “Don’t let it go your head, no!”
    “Don’t let it go your head, no no no no no
