One I always enjoyed was that one from Craig Mack - flava in ya ear. Liked it a lot so thought i'd give it a mention. I can't post the video as I'm on my phone.

As a teenager I often had Wu Tang and the individuals of the Wu's solo stuff on my Walkman. You could pick any of them and they'd deserve a mention in this thread.

This is a Dublin band who are just starting to make it over here though it helps when you understand what they are saying.

Also I've always thought Canibus was a fantastic lyricist.

Might not reckon on many peoples radars against some of the greatest but I like him.


I've always loved those lines from Funk Master Flex Vol.3 over Raekeon's "Ice Cream":
"For all you niggaz sayin that my shit is sick,
just imagine the ninety percent of my brain that I ain't even used yet
Take a deep breath, quick, suck in as much air as my lungs will permit --
then I start to kick that shit
I been gettin busy before the planets started to turn
Before the bees, the birds, and Adam and Eve occured
Prior to all creation, in other words
When the female egg will merge with the man's sperm
I stand firm, my words burn through your exterior
The eat away at your materia, I'm superior
While you only pretend to be, I can double my density
from three-sixty degrees to seven-twenty instantly
Six, multiplied by five by four by three by two
then one, go head and calculate the sum
The time has cometh, I was summoned to punish
Motherfuckers with mouths to run it ? with rubbish
When I come through, niggaz stand stiller than statues
Cause if I have to, I'll battle your whole rap crew
Then I'll attack you with words that's absurd
and rip your fuckin skin off just to get on your nerves"

Love that last line. Genius!

One of my favourite Hip Hop albums is Houserocker by Lovebug Starski. Still can't get it on CD which is criminal.
