If you came to have dinner, I would be so gratified." The teacher replied, "It's six o'clock, seven o'clock, you decide." She replied, "Seven o'clock, do you like stir-fried?" She was mystified and felt so dignified The teacher was coming to the house where she resides So she purified with pesticides" - KRS One "Beef, what a relief When will this poisonous product cease? This is another public service announcement You can believe it, or you can doubt it Let us begin now with the cow The way it gets to your plate and how The cow doesn't grow fast enough for man So through his greed he makes a faster plan He has drugs to make the cow grow quicker Through the stress the cow gets sicker Twenty-one different drugs are pumped Into the cow in one big lump So just before it dies, it cries In the slaughterhouse full of germs and flies Off with the head, they pack it, drain it, and cart it And there it is, in your local supermarket Red and bloody, a corpse, neatly packed And you wonder about heart attacks?" - KRS One "Black cat is bad luck, bad guys wear black Musta been a white guy who started all that (Make the Gas Face!) For those little white lies My expression to the mountainous blue eyes Then form a face, and shake my skull cap Dismiss the myth, that evil is not black but opposite spectrum, this done by red man with horns on his head, laid down the ill plan Got all his helpers, said, "Make it snappy! Tell all the people that their hair can't be nappy!"

Something tells me Ted prefers hip hop from the late 80's/early 90's. "Through the lights cameras and action, glamour glitters and gold I unfold the scroll, plant seeds to stampede the globe When I'm deceased, by then the beast arise like yeast to conquer peace leaving savages to roam in the streets Live on the run, police paying me to give in my gun Trick my Wisdom, with the system that imprisoned my son Smoke a gold leaf I hold heat, nonchalantly I'm grungy, but things I do is real it never haunts me while, funny style n----s roll in the pile Rooster heads profile on a bus to Riker's Isle Holdin weed inside they p---y with they minds on the pretty things in life, props is a true thug's wife It's like a cycle, n----s come home, some'll go in Do a bullet, come back, do the same s--- again From the womb to the tomb, presume the unpredictable Guns salute life, rapidly, that's the ritual." -- Nas on Raekwon's "Verbal Intercourse"
I be what is known as a bandit You gotta hand it to me when you truely understand it 'Cause if you fail to see, read it in brail Would it still be funky, so what's next is the flex Of a genius, mirander stutter stepping, if you seen this Dope, you hope that I don't really mean this But it play, making greater high top fade It's not my trademark when I get loose in the dark You guess it was a test of a different style It's just another muthafuker on the pile Driving your ass with the floor of your tongue You hung yourself short, be after knowledge was brung To your attention by the hardest muthafuking artist That is know for lenching any sucker in a minute Stagger 'em all When I start flowing like Niagra Falls Ice Cube is a quick to rip ************ in a battle Move like a snake when I'm mad and then my tail rattle I get low on a flow so let your kids know When I bust, parental discretion is a must Ice Cube-"Parental Discretion Iz Advised" by N.W.A.
You spend a buck in the 80's, what you get is a preacher Forgivin' this torture of the system that brought 'cha I'm on a mission and you got that right Addin' fuel to the fire, punch to the fight Many have forgotten what we came here for Never knew or had a clue, so you're on the floor Just growin not knowin about your past now you're lookin' pretty stupid while you're shakin' your ass Mind over matter, mouth in motion Can't deny it cause I'll never be quiet Let's start this right PE - Rightstarter
I am the king of rock, there is none higher Sucka MCs should call me sire To burn my kingdom, you must use fire I won't stop rocking till I retire -- King of Rock, Run D.M.C. Midnight chillin' at A.M P.M. Coolin' drinkin' apple juice In Evil's BM The sound's up loud To attract attention rmoraled tires On a lowered suspension Nardi to steer with Alpine deck was glowin' Bumpinn' Big Daddy And the *************** was definitely flowin' I was ridin' shotgun Donald and Hen in back Look thru the tint recognized a jack Two brothers strolled up Talkin' bout get out Donald D blazed Shot one fool thru his ************in' mouth Why would they step When they know we're strapped? I never cruise L.A. Without a Gat in my lap The other fool shot Caut the E in the shoulder blade I busted thru the ca door That's where the *************** laid Hen jumped out Dropped two nines in his forehead Evil was bleedin' bad The car seats were turnin' red Looked to my left There were two more carloads ***************s in hats and hoods In an attack mode And they hadn't yet begun to fight E hit the gas It was one past midnight! We boned down Vernon Right on Normandie Left on Florence Gettin' thru the E.T.G.'s Spun out on Vermont Made a left on Colden Right on Hoover E where we goin'? He didn'T even answer that Checked the reaar view They were still out back Where were these brothers from? What made these brothers come Bang! our back window Was removed by a shotgun Now Hen G was shot Don caught a ricochet These mother************ers was ill They didn't come to play Bust a right turn, parked and then we got left Hid in the the bushes Shot the gas tank to fake death But would this really Keep them psyched? Three of us bleedin' It was ten past midnight! I really didn't like How this ************ was goin' down Wrong night, wrong time Wrong ************in' part of town Ya see we was deep In the Hoover's hood Three ***************s bleedin' That ************ don't look good! See over there red don't go Some places red's all they know But not our luck Tonight we was real ************ed Borke down an alley And we instantly had to duck ************in' police on a gang sweep No time to deal with one time So we had to creep Broke thru a back yard Ran thru a vacant lot E, Hen and Don kept up To be some ***************s shot ************ was gettin' craazy So I had to get busy Hen was bleedin' worse And Evil was gettin' dizzy Looked in a parking lot I needed a snatch bar Had to hot wire So I moved on an old car It was a bucket, but ************ it, it had to do Started it up And scooped my whole crew Two blocks later We saw ************in' blue lights The pigs were behind us It was half past midnight! When they pulled us over ************ got worse I waited till they got out And then I hit reverse ************ed 'em up, I seen one cop fall Threw it in gear, yo I'm outty yall Don't know how But somehow we got away Lost the jackers, the cops Dumped the G.T.A. Made it back to the hood Fixed the crew up And even though Evil's car blew up We made it home and then I crashed out Thinkin' bout my all-night death bout Then somethin' woke me up From my dark sleep The sound of ************in' police When they're tryin' to creep Broke thru my door With no goddamn warning Looked at my watch It was six in the mornin'! -- Midnight by Ice-T. BTW, this song has one of the greatest bass lines ever. We tried to get DC United to license it as entrance music for the team. Sachin

Now I see the importance of history Why people be in the mess that they be Many journeys to freedom made in vain By brothers on the corner playin ghetto games I ask you lord why you enlightened me Without the enlightment of all my folks He said cuz I set myself on a quest for truth And he was there to quench my thirst But I am still thirsty... "Tennessee" - Arrested Development I leap over lies in a single pound [who are you?] The black prophet One day I got struck by knowledge of self They gave me super scientifical powers Now I, run through the ghetto Battling my arch nemesis Mr. Ignorance He's been trying to take me out since the days of my youth He feared this day would come I'm hot on his trail But sometimes he slips away because he has an army They always give me trouble mainly Hatred, Jealousy and Envy they attack me They think they got me But I use my super science and I twist all three I see sparks over that building They're shooting at me I dip, do a back flip Then hit em in the heart with sharp skilled book marks Ignorance hates when I drop it But no matta what he do He can't stop the prophet. "Can't Stop The Prophet" - Jeru The Damaja You wanna front what? Jump up and get bucked If you're feeling lucky duck Then press your luck I snatch fake gangsta MC's and make em ****************** flambe Your nine spray my mind spray Malignant mist steadily pumps the funk The results you're a gang stuffed in a car trunk You couldn't come to the jungles of the East poppin that game You won't survive get live catchin wreck is our thing I don't gang bang or shoot out bang bang The relentless lyrics the only dope I slang I'm a true master you can check my credentials Cuz I choose to use my infinite potentials Got a freaky, freaky, freaky-freaky flow Control the mic like fidel castro locked cuba So deep that you can scuba dive/my jive Origin is unknown like the Jubas I've accumulated honies all across the map Cuz I'd rather bust a nut then bust a cap in Ya back in fact my rap snaps ya sacroilliac I'm the mack so i don't need to tote a Mac My attack is purely mental and its nature's not hate It's meant to wake ya up out of ya brainwashed state Stagnate nonsense but if you persist You'll get ya snotbox bust you press up on this I flip hoes dip none of the real n****s slip You don't know enough math to count the mics that I ripped Keep the Dirty Rotten Scoundrel as his verbal weapons spit. "Come Clean" - Jeru The Damaja Yeah, you pronounce my name (Kweli), any questions? I bring many blessings with my man Hi-Tek and he from the Natti (Natti) We make the sky crack, feel the fly track, get your hands up like a hijack Fist in the air for (Kweli), keep 'em there like Natural mystic or smoke when they spliffs lit It's a revolutionary (party), they ask me what I'm writing for I'm writing to show you what we fightin for Say Taleeb or Talib (Kweli), if it's hard try spelling in phonetically If not then just let it be like Nina Simone, you probably (ably) don't listen B Even when we suffer loses I account the victory Sometimes it's far and between I'm sad to say it got my brain crowded like sunset on a Saturday I know my son wept 'cause his dad's away Stop crying be strong is what I had to say to my little man named Amani (mani) Chorus: repeat 2X Start the party, my crew hot feel these two shots Like the blast from a double barrel shottie (shottie) It's got to be, your man Hi-Tek and Kweli Who make you rock your body (body) "The Blast" - Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek

One of my recent faves is J-Live's "Like This Anna" (Background) It's like this, Anna, it's like that, Anna It's like this, Anna, it's like that, Anna It's like this, Anna, it's like that, Anna So much hair I can't even wear a hat, Anna It's like this, Anna, it's like that, Anna Am I supposed to still think the world flat, Anna (Lead) It's like this, Anna, it's like that, Anna I'm only starin' cause your ass is so fat, Anna I noticed as soon as you walked up in the place, Anna (damn!) You can't blame a man for havin' good taste, can ya? That's not fair, Anna, it's not right, Anna Please turn around or I'll be starin' all night, Anna So many men, Anna, they wanna play, Anna They all wanna get their name up in your day planner I swear, even if it's only for a day, Anna For a majority, you'd be the only way, Anna It's on you, Anna, what you gonna do, Anna? I'm hopin' that's the type of man you see through, Anna Whether you're lookin' for ménage or a matrimony A man say he wanna be your lovin' friend, homey Just keep your eyes open so that you can spot a phony A lot of snakes wanna get up in your tenderoni Unless you're just horny and wanna ride a pony You'd rather be left alone than left lonely It's like this, Anna, we both know, Anna It's kinda nice when a man spend dough, Anna Although, Anna, you can't salary cap your mojo, Anna You're not a ho, Anna, it's okay if all systems ain't go, Anna You gotta tell a brother "no means no," Anna CHORUS: It's like this, Anna this is a message to my homegirl, Miss Anna You're so fly, Anna I can't let nobody desecrate my Anna I'm not your man, Anna I just really want you to understand, Anna Life is rough, but, uh Somebody cares enough to tell you this stuff, Anna (Repeat CHORUS) Hey yo, you can either dance and check the rhyme later or hear me out now A lot of these ballers at the plate don't care if they fair or they foul It doesn't mean that you should stop trustin' all brothers, straight throwin' in the towel The next just might just be just right, like Baby Bear style But choose wise, don't bother with the knucklehead that can't teach you shit. And never ever think you gotta tolerate a man that's gonna beat you, kid But please don't toy with their heads like "green light 1, 2, 3,"' Cause that's the kinda blue ball game that even frustrates guys like me But you're ill, girl, full o' ideas, like the five-figure salary career And a education take you ten years And a man that'a give you both ears When you talkin' ‘bout your hopes and your fears And you're damn near ‘bout to shed tears Cause your baby been coughin' all day And the daddy ain't there and won't pay And there's so much drama round the way Cause the streets are too dangerous to play And the world got you feelin' insecure Cause you think you're fine, but you're not sure But your beauty lies not just in your booty But your face, all natural (it's a cutie!) Don't you ever let the bullshit blind you If you forget, I'll be quick to remind you (CHORUS, 4x) It's like this... it's like that, Anna It's like this, Anna, it's like that, Anna It's like this, Anna, it's like that, Anna It's like this, Anna, it's like that, Anna It's like this, Anna, it's like that, Anna It's like this, Anna, it's like that, Anna It's like this
Muchos greasy a$$. Unfortunately, only erika v common's new cut is the only real hip hop in their top 10. The rest are by in large comercial rappers, though eminem & camron aren't strickly about the almighty dollar. And no success doesn't equal sellout, that mark applies to targeted marketing to potential buyers. ps J-5's new single is hella tight.
"Left my ***************'s house paid Picked up a girl been tryin to ************ since the 12th grade It's ironic, I had the brew she had the chronic The Lakers beat the Supersonics" Ice cube - It was a good day (my favorite rap/hip-hop song EVER)
You know I'm serious like cancer/ When I say rythm is a dancer/ Rythm is a Dancer-Snap (I know it's not a pure hip-hop song).
"He wore the crown but not the Jimmy hat Now he wears a frown and the Jimmy hates that" - A Tribe Called Quest from a song called "Pubic Enemy"
'I love who you are love who you ain't you're so Anne Frank Let's hit the attic and hide out for about two weeks' So Fresh So Clean - Outkast Tasteless, but I still think it's great. Actually it's the combination of tastelessness and bizarreness that makes it.
Because yo, I make fresh rhymes DAILY You burn me, REALLY? Think just blink, and I'll make a million rhymes Just imagine if you blinked a million times. Damn I'd be paid. I got it made -Special Ed
New Pu was dope ever since I was semen Swimming in my daddies big nuts Now, i'm scooping girls with the big old butts. -Brand Nubian
