and to perform
some had to snort cocaine,
to act insane
but some dudes don't even do that at all
this is a thread where we pay tribute to some prime wordplay

sometimes, the RZA is the smooth leader of the wu-tang
other times, he is an angry dude that's tired of his old lady's shit
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tfGULPOrik
jay-z's career and mystique as a rapper is of a dude on his way out of "THE GAME"
but the dude can come out of left field and do some shit like create a mega hit from sampling "Little Orphan Annie"
he's rumored to have ghost written hundreds of
solid gold hits
hell, he can even surprise you by doing some shit i don't think i've ever seen a rap artist do
which is not even appear in his own video

THE N
NASTY NAS IN YO AREA

Tryin' to outrun these bitches who all want me to die
Waitin' for some rappers to die so maybe I can get a chance
Without a song about makin' bitches dance
I hope all the clubs close
'Cause so many assholes trapped in one building
Should burn like Great White shows
And all our hope is to pose a threat
Try to change what rap music hopes and I forget
Million dollar boat, yeah thats whiter then whats spilling down your throat.
Alternatively it's Gangsters paradise.
"Why are we so blind to see, the ones we hurt are you and me."
here is a great Ice Cube song

Song: Beauty Jackson
She turned around and this grown lady said hi
I was quite stunned from the way she replied
Peace, nice to meet ya, sweetie call me Tony Starks
Ghost if you like ta, mind if invite ya
over for some red wine, nice Barry White huh
She pulled out a cigarette, hon here's a lighter
Her voice was a slow jam, full length white mink
Hella fine with a beauty mark on her right cheek
When she spoke her smoke floated when it left her throat
Spelled honey when she blew it out it turned to water word
I was infatuated
She put the perfume to her neck and sprayed it
Plus the bottle was nickel plated
It make a young girl steez yo feel outdated
And know the married chicks shopping with they man's hated
One stone on her finger was green, Maybeline
Cover Girl lipstick, plump color fingertips
Revlon face blush, oh-five-six shit
The ashes was hangin off her stog' so she flicked it
Damn, had to bundle up, I call goosebumps
Plus the windchill factor had dropped, here the bus come
I never rush one, here take my number miss
I live alone, her face fell when I dropped the chrome
Damn, can I have YOUR number?
this is the GZA's magnum opus
it proved what many people already knew about the east coast's sounds and lyrical range
and you also knew that while rza and gza are brothers, and rza is the "leader" of sorts
gza ain't second fiddle to anyone
He was the greatest samurai in the empire, and he was the shogun's decapitator.
He cut off the heads of 131 lords...it was a bad time for the empire.
so much so, that the GZA is going on a liquid swords tour for the Hip Hop Chess Federation
People said his brain was infected by devils.
The first time I listened to that song, I had chills going down my back.
chicago is just a few hours away
oh god this would be so awesome but i'm so white
reDublo: good call, man. my favorite song on it is probably cops keep firing if only because of the sick Jigga sample
you're so white you can't make it to a chess tourney?
but where does it say that the tour is associated with the Chess Fed? i know it's on their blog and all but it doesn't really mention them at all in the article
this is getting me excited for the new album
a lot of tracks from the new album have leaked on youtube, actually. there's even one trashing fox news, which i can definitely get behind. i think i'll post it now actually.

Song: Spaceship
Man, man, man
If my manager insults me again I will be assaulting him
After I fuck the manager up then I'm gonna shorten the register up
Let's go back, back to the Gap
Look at my check, wasn't no scratch
So if I stole, wasn't my fault
Yeah I stole, never got caught
They take me to the back and pat me
Askin' me about some khakis
But let some black people walk in
I bet they show off their token blackie
Oh now they love Kanye, let's put him all in the front of the store
So i'm on break next to the 'No Smoking' sign with a blunt and a Marl'
Takin' my hits, writin' my hits
Writin' my rhymes, playin' my mind
This fuckin' job can't help him
So I quit, y'all welcome
Y'all don't know my struggle
Y'all can't match my hustle
You can't catch my hustle
You can't fathom my love dude
Lock yourself in a room doin' five beats a day for three summers
That's a different world like Cree Summers
I deserve to do these numbers
The kid that made that deserves that Maybach
So many records in my basement
I'm just waitin' on my spaceship
Also Lupe Fiasco
Song: Superstar(third verse)
So chauffeur chauffeur come and take me away
'Cause I've been standin' in this line for like five whole days
Me and security ain't getting' along
And when I got to the front, they told me all of the tickets were gone
So just take me home where the mood is mellow
And the roses are grown, M&Ms are yellow
And the light bulbs around my mirror don't flicker
Everybody gets a nice autograph picture
One for you and one for your sister
Who had to work tonight but is an avid listener
Every songs her favorite song and mics don't feedback
All the reviewers say "You need to go and see that"
And everybody claps 'cause everybody is pleased
And then they all take the stage and start performin' for me
Like, ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha, ha
Seriously, listen to this and then poke around in the suggested videos. Motherfucker has got not only rhythm, but style.
i mean it certainly helps that he's basically rapping about a gangsta zombie fall in love but man the wordplay is so tight

Goddamn Slick Rick has the best voice
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebHExqYx5uY
I just can't do it.
it's basically the best song on Idlewild and HOLY SHIT MARCHING BAND PROVIDING THE BEAT
also it has a stoneriffic video which is just great
http://youtube.com/watch?v=u-RK_tNT3sw
who don't know the meaning of water nor soap
whitest thing i've heard today
kinda don't want to sleep anyway
as the day ahead of me is even worse
