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

Hell yeah, especially Dream Shatterer....that shit blew my mind as a kid.

Here's some:

"It was a clear black night, a clear white moon
Warren G was on the streets, tryin to consume
Some skirts for the eve, so I can get some funk
Just rollin in my ride, chillin all alone"

"Yo, a day in the life of a player named Quik
I'm just a stubborn kind of fellow with a head like a brick
And just because I drink the 8, they say that I'm hopeless
But I don't give a fuck, so blame it on the loc-est"

"Have you ever heard of a slughter, I oughta start dippin
Sippin on that S-T get's me to trippin
I don't slips I bangs
with that mad ass Dogg Pound Gang it's a DPG thang"

Ok I'm bacc with more:


I sit alone in my 4 cornered room staring at candles - Scarface

Wake your punk ass up for the 93 shot-Mc eiht

I'll probably be punished for hard living blind to the facts
Thugs is convicts in gods prison hand on my strap - 2Pac

Cruisin down the street in my six-fo''
jockin the bitches, slappin the hoes
went to the park to get the scoop
knuckleheads out there cold, shootin some hoops -Eazy-E


The recently deceased
from what was released
From the chrome beast to the dome piece
Visions in my mind bein increased by inner beef
with some grief, but when I chief on some strong leaf
I'm snappin hard enough to make a nigga try to check his own chief.-Twista


I'm from the place where the chruch is the flakiest
And niggas is praying to god so long that they Atheist-Jay-z

"Yo, sit back relax catchin contacts, sip your cog-nac
And let's all wash this money through this laundry mat
Sneak attack, a new cat sit back, worth top dollar
In fact, touch mines, and I'll react like a Rottweiler" - AZ


AZ never blew like I thought he would.

I said a hip hop,
Hippie to the hippie,
The hip, hip a hop, and you don't stop, a rock it
To the bang bang boogie, say, up jump the boogie,
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat.

You love to hear the story, again and again
Of how it all got started way back when
The monument is right in your face
Sit and listen for a while to the name of the place

when it comes to sex...
I'm similar to the thriller in manilla, honeys call me bigga the condom filler
whether stiff tongue or stiff dick, honeys scream biggie squeeze it to make shit fit- now check this shit,

-One More Chance, Biggie

Who the fuck is this?

-you already know

Listen closely, your attention undivided,
many in the past have tried to do what I did,
just like I came off then, I'm going come off
stronger and longer even with the drum off

-Symphony, Masta Ace

La di da di we like to party, don't cause trouble, we don't bother nobody,
we're just some men thats on the mic, but when we rock on the mic we rock the mic right

-you already know

How are you guys going to post in this thread and no one has pointed out #1 yet.

The very first line from Chuck D in "Night Of The Living Baseheads".

There's no greater opening line/scene in Hip Hop history. As soon as the S1Ws and Professor Griff march by . . .

How did I forget one of the best openings in hip hop history?

Through the lights, cameras, and action, glamour, glitters and gold/
I unfold the scroll, plant seeds that cover the globe
