Lines From Your Favourite Artist

topic posted Wed, September 5, 2007 - 5:23 AM by  philip
Here's something I'd like us to play. Choose one of your favourite Hip-Hop artist/Group, and write out five of your most memorable lyrics from any of their albums/songs that you so much enjoy. Here are mine, coming from Nas:

1. "I'm like Scarface sniffing cocaine, holding an M-16, you see with the pen I'm extreme."
- New York State of Mind
2. "I carry the cross that helped you afford that plasma screen."
- Nazareth Savage
3. "All I need is one mic."
- One Mic
4. "I never sleep, 'cause sleep is the cousin of death."
- New York State of Mind
5. "I gave you power, I made you buck wild."
- I Gave You Power.

    "I live for the moment of truth when Big Willy rapper
    ackgnowledges failure and states "Goddamn my sh*t is trash"
    "It's time to let go", the tin man bangin' upon his chest to hear the echo
    Heartless kid, hollow compartments
    Be we the people of the united, starving artistic
    Militia keep movin' in order to form a more perfect union"
    -aesop rock's abandon all hope

    "If first you don't succeed try, try again
    Step up to the mic and die again
    This is the next lifetime and you wanna battle
    Either you like reincarnation or the smell of carnations
    The sample's the flesh and the beat's the skeleton
    You got beef but there's worms in your Wellington
    I'll put a hole in your skull and extract your gelatin"
    -cannibal ox's rasberry fields

    "I bit the dust tongue kissing documents in a smoke stack
    faith is harder to swallow than pride it, turns our throats black
    I want my home back. I know that's not an available option
    it's the way that I'm walking in between a cradle and coffin
    that makes me pace myself. if half the battle is done right
    the other half won't take my health while jacking my shadow's sunlight
    to crack it open and find the space between my breaths are desolate
    life is just a lie with an "f" in it and death is definite"
    -nonprophet's the cure.

    "You're just embarrassed
    Cause it's your "Last Tango in Paris"
    And even after all my logic and my theory,
    I add a muthaf**ker so you ignint niggas hear me.
    And you remember take notes,
    As I sow my rap otas
    And for you biting zealots, here's a quote,"
    -the fugee's zealots (lauryn)
