Favourite Rap Lines

Shands said:
Just to widen the thread out a touch following the comments about NaS who would you each pick as your 5 favourite MC's?

Personally I like the Chicago MC’s (Lupe, Ye, Naledge, Common, Gemini, Rhymfest). They seem less concerned with proving their street credentials than say their New York counterparts. I think they tend to be more socially conscious and there’s more humour in their rhymes.

My 5 would be
Lupe
Kanye
Phonte (Little Brother)
Common
Talib Kwelli

EDIT: and back to the rhymes [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGvZ9aXg5Xs[/youtube]

Somedays I take the L to gel with the real world
Got on at 87th, stopped by this little girl
She recited raps, I forgot where they was from
In 'em, she was saying how she made brothers cum
I start thinking, how many souls hip-hop has affected
How many dead folks this art resurrected
How many nations this culture connected
Who am I to judge one's perspective?
Though some of that shit y'all pop true it, I ain't relating
If I don't like it, I don't like it, that don't mean that I'm hating
I just want to innovate and stimulate minds
Travel the world and penetrate the times
Escape through rhythms in search of peace and wisdom
Raps are smoke signals letting the streets know I'm with 'em
For now I appreciate this moment in time
Ball players and actors be knowing my rhymes, it's like

"Broken Glass Everywhere, People pissin on the stair
you know they just don't care"
 
This just came up on my I.pod, forgot how much I liked it. Great way to start an album.

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, nigga 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 nigga
But I'm starvin my niggaz, and the weight loss in my figure
is startin to darken my heart, bout to get to my liver
Watch it my niggaz, 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 niggaz
Tattooed so I carry on like I'm non-religious
Clap whoever stand between Shawn and figures
Niggaz, say it's the dawn but I'm superstitious
Shit is as dark as it's been, nothin is goin as you predicted
I move with biscuits, stop the hearts of niggaz actin too suspicious
This is, food for thought, you do the dishes

I love to go low, I'm freaky like that
I even hit my man's girl cause I'm sneaky like that
It ain't my fault your girl be ho-hoppin'
And matter fact the last time you gave her loot to go shopping
She picked me up some dope shirts
It's because of me why she's walking crooked and her throat hurts

'we got to her place in a flash real quickly, she knelt on the floor began to unzip me, 2 great things like basket balls, and down below was like Niagara Falls, she nibbled and giggled and pulled me to the ground and whispered in my ear Derek B get down'

Derek B and the B Mob.
 
"ticket to ride,white line highway"
"tell all your friends,they can go my way"
"pay your toll,sell your soul"
"pound for pound costs more than gold"
"the longer you stay,the more you pay"
"my white lines go a long way"
"either up your nose or through your vein"
"with nothin` to gain except killin` your brain"
---grandmaster flash and melle mel-white lines,1983..proper old skool.....
