Ice Cube on "Straight Outta Compton" -- "Straight outta Compton, a crazy motherf*cker named Ice Cube..."

needs to be higher

Def that was the line on my mind coming into the thread...

L.L. Cool J I'm Bad
No rapper can rap quite like I can
I'll take a musclebound man and put his face in the sand
Not the last Mafioso I'm a MC cop
Make you say, "Go L.L. and do the wop"

Surpised I didn't see any Pun joints posted....these are CLASSIC.....in my opinion.

Big Pun

I'm Not A Player:
I ain't a player, I just fuck a lot
Jump on top of my dick and work them hips, until I bust a shot.

Superlyrical:
Ay-yo my murderous rap verbal attack is actual fact
Tactical tracks match perfectly with graphical stats
Half a you lack the magical dap of tragical rap
That tackles you back and shackles and laughs at you

The Dream Shatterer:
Ay-yo I shatter dreams like Jordan, assault and batter your team
Your squadron'll be barred from rap like Adam & Eve from the garden

Whatcha Gon' Do:
It's hard to explain how my squad can harbor the strain
of being the largest name in rap, since the almighty Kane
Acknowledge the fame, my call was to reign the streets
from Harlem to Queens, back to the Bronx who fathered the dream

I can't deny it, I'm a straight ridah you don't fuck wit me
Got the police bustin at me
But they can't do nothin to a G

So many battlefield scars
while driven in plush cars
This life as a rap star
is nothin without heart

.....Ambitionz Az A Ridah--Tupac Shakur

Maybe I read the list too fast, but where does this one fall?:angry: cmon son, this shit was an anthem!

33. Inspectah Deck on "Triumph" -- "I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies and hypothesis can't define how I be droppin' these..."

:yes::yes:

Another one of my favorites is by Ghostface on Nutmeg;

Scientific, my hand kissed it
Robotic let's think optimistic
You probably missed it, watch me dolly dick it
Scotty watty cop it to me, big microphone hippie
Hit Poughkepsie crispy chicken verbs throw up a stone richie
Chop the O, sprinkle a lil' snow inside a Optimo
Swing the John McEnroe, rap rock'n'roll....
