Favorite Hip Hop Quotable

[TheProtege]

"As far as rap go its only natural I explain, my plateau and also what defines my name"

Nas

[Dirt E. Dutch]

The hardest verse ever:

"Number one’s a hard spot; either you fight
Or get shot, so this is what I got (bo!)
Three tec-9’s, my uzi, ten grenades, my razor blades
And I aim to get paid!
So who wanna step to this, don’t come soft
Cause i’ma straight up knock niggaz off (pom! pom!)
And when the cops come to get me
I’ma take a dead body, and bop ten cops with me
I’m sick and tired of hearin rappers talk smack
About who’s nice, and who’s whack, motherfuck that
They know my style, and my rep, every stage
That I stepped on - I was the rapper they slept on
But y’all rappers keep sleepin - cause when they plant
Bombs in your house, i’ma wake you up and punch you
In your motherfuckin mouth, knock your wife out
Take your sons to safety, cause they’re just kids
And I wanna raise em to face me
And when they get a little bigga
I’ma mark them little niggaz, and put their fingerprints
On the trigger -- double homicide, call the vice
Another rapper and his family with no life
Yeah you’re mr. tough and, you’re full of stuff and
And freddie foxxx caught you bluffin
I got you in my torture chamber and you scream
Oh God damn, it’s like _silence of the lambs_
But I don’t mangle em and eat em
I take mc’s to the war zone, and there I defeat em
It gets much worse, with every verse
As the f-r-e-d-d-i-e f-o-x-x-x, hurts!
Punishes, stomps, smashes, crushes, maims
You suckers know my name!
Aiyyo kris! I’m rhymin long enough (say what? )
Get on the mic and get ruff, ruff"

Bumpy Knuckles aka Freddie Foxxx

"I'll shit on your dreams and wipe my ass on your prayer rug" Cage

[Mo Niklz]

[Sketch Tha Cataclysm]

one of my favorites:

"The new moon rode high in the crown of the metropolis
Shinin, like who on top of this?
People was tusslin, arguin and bustlin
Gangstaz of Gotham hardcore hustlin
I'm wrestlin with words and ideas
My ears is picky, seekin what will transmit
the scribes can apply to transcript, yo
This ain't no time where the usual is suitable
Tonight alive, let's describe the inscrutable
The indisputable, we New York the narcotic
Strength in metal and fiber optics
where mercenaries is paid to trade hot stock tips
for profits, thirsty criminals take pockets
Hard knuckles on the second hands of workin class watches
Skyscrapers is collosus, the cost of living
is preposterous, stay alive, you play or die, no options
No Batman and Robin, can't tell between
the cops and the robbers, they both partners, they all heartless
With no conscience, back streets stay darkened
Where unbeliever hearts stay hardened
My eagle talons STAY sharpened, like city lights stay throbbin
You either make a way or stay sobbin, the Shiny Apple
is bruised but sweet and if you choose to eat
You could lose your teeth, many crews retreat
Nightly news repeat, who got shot down and locked down
Spotlight to savages, NASDAQ averages
My narrative, rose to explain this existance
Amidst the harbor lights which remain in the distance"
Mos Def-"Respiration"

I battle you on the net,
I battle you in the flesh,
I battle you over the phone you can call me collect,
I battle you for the respect,
I battle you over a blank check I battle you wit a gun to my neck.

or

Its the truth like vodka 180proof dont drop you drawers I fuck through your daisy dukes (TRUE!)

those were just the first to come to mind and meth on "Shadow boxing" but i dont even want to get started cause I'll be here for weeks.

[phenetiks]

slightly biased

this celebration of self is in remembrance of my character
it's four dimensional.
the fourth one is for the talent that i sport like my melonin
reveal flesh and stand naked in my exellence
my testaments a sure record of my...
life style, crowd manager,
spark panic by sliding this here little switch to on.
as a listener,
i force the hearing impaired to listen on till they hear it they're souls and they start to sing along.
i'm from amongst the thinkers...
that share the same idea
ears to the ground
trying to tune in whats coming from downstairs
see i can find music in my wrists pulsating
making it easier to bleed on these pages
so..
in this notebook that deto stole i intend to inseminate the rythym
and birth the sounds your listening to.
my mission is to...
paint the most beautiful landscapes for man to
invision,
hear,
smell,
taste...
fear, love, hate.
and feel the significance
as the sound settles, underneath your soul
like that small pebble on the bottom of your timbs.
after all, i'm just a fan...
just trying to voice my opinions.

The whole Buckingham Palace song by Cannibus.

Pretty much all of Illmatic, particularly "..ya'll niggas was born I shot my way out my mom dukes!"

let's see here..."...I got divine chromosomes in me, my sperm'll scramble the eggs in a woman's ovary"-Cannibus on a mix tape with Charlie 2na.

"..he only came to save the game like a memory card, ooh shrewd, alot of dudes is too rude, plus there's too many let's not and say we do dudes"-MF Doom (or more technically, Viktor Vaughn)

"I don't try to be different I am, so inevitably my style'll still survive when your now turns to then"-El-P

And my all time favorite...

"no idea's original, there's nuthin' new under the sun
it's never what you do but how it's done,
what you base ya happiness around? material women and large paper
that means you inferior not major"

"If niggas could look inside my mind you'll find,
where bodies are buried, first look past the hotties and dimes,
go into the center enter with caution,
past the brain cell graveyard, where weed's responsible for memory looses,
witness, the horrific, the stench'll make you nautious,
see what i see, everyday i live with this torture,
lightin' spliffs up to stay high like 24 hours,
sleep wit' my heat, wash with my gun in the shower,
my tongue is power, it thrills women, kills demons,
long as I'm still livin' i'm still winnin' i teach 'em,
the hood converted from trey bags to 20s a girl,
everybody had money, every summer was real ill,
four-finger rings, dope dealers, kane,
no'half steppin' wit' flat-tops, but Rakim reigned,
radios on card tables, (benetar?), the gods buildin',
ask for today's mathematics, we Allah's children,
and this was goin' on in every New York ghetto,
kids listen 5 percenters said "it's pork in jell-o",
we coincide we in the same light,
maybe a time difference, on a different coast, but we share the same sunlight,
you're part of the world, maybe like colors and gangs,
while on my side brothas get murdered for different thangs,
but it all revolve around drugs, fame and shorties,
stuck for ya bling, stripped of ya chain the same story, from,
Czechoslovakia to Texas metropolis,
them, treachorous rocksters, and them Mexican mafias,
be scrappin' with tatts on they back, violent wars,
nuthin' less than a lethal injection if ever caught,
courtrooms, eagles in flags, American style,
while in our world, the ghetto stays incredibly foul,
watchin' for paint chips, don't want no lead in yo child,
but them gangstas put lead in yo child, the bezzy be out,
the chain be like a hundred k,
shinin' since Roxanne Chante made "runaway", that's been a minute,
Genesis is deep, my features are that of a god, it's not a facade,
it's a fact these rappers wanna be Nas,
my exodus doesn't exist, I never leave the streets,
it's all in my mind, even asleep i'm duckin'g 9s in my dreams,
sirens, wide awake, why'd I think it would change?,
can't hide when you famous or even try to do the same things,
like, somebody's always watchin'
my life, before I walk out the door I size up every option, eyes cut every direction,
it's like god or guns,
which is better protection?, can't decide, that's a hard one,
I mean, they want to see me imprisoned in chains, bamboozled,
headline readin' 'rapper slain from a man shootin'"- Nas: No Idea's Original

[phenetiks]

i was trying to stay away from aes rock one liners but...

"i told this cat the earth was flat, he walked till his beard grew long enough to strangle himself for bein' stupid"

"even when i say nothing it's a beautiful use of space" el-p

[Mo Niklz]

another great el-p quote

This is for new jacks trying to decide were they fit
get busy destroy the walls when you spit
For writers with the krylon in there brain print
Translate it leave your name dripping from bricks
For cats that come to fame with my name on their lips
rethink it stop sucking poison milk from fake tits
This is for kids worried about the apocolypse
do something create yourself and stop talking shit

[TheProtege]

"Fuck ya'll, ya'll dont impress me and noone can test me. An MC so ill I got AIDS scared to catch me".

-Cannibus

[Sketch Tha Cataclysm]

This whole song should be up here. . . in fact I think its one of my favorite hip-hop songs period. . .

"look i've never had a dream in my life
'cause a dream is something you want to do but still haven't pursued
I knew what I wanted and did it til it was done
so i've been the dream that i've wanted to be since day one"
-Aesop Rock "No Regrets"

[Workforce]

Just a couple right quick...

"Used to think 30 years old then the end comes/
now Ifeel like I'm just gaining momentum." - Gift of Gab

" What part would a rapper like me, with my postive talents /
play, if there was no negativity to keep the balance" - Kweli

-Digg
