I said-a hip, hop, the hippie, the hippie To the hip hip hop-a you don’t stop the rock It to the bang-bang boogie, say up jump the boogie To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
Was that a test?
No what you hear is he’s rappin to the beat.
HO-TEL MO-TEL HOLLIDAY INN!!!
I’ve always thought this was a pretty good one:
real G’s move in silence like lasagna
I don’t get it. What is lasagna, here?
The “G” in “Lasagna” is silent
Except it’s not really, because it changes how the N is pronounced
Gotcha, so it’d be “real g’s are soft like lasagna”
Sure, but what does lasagna have to do with being silent?
It’s a metaphor.
The “g” is silent in the pronunciation of lasagna.
This gives the meaning that “real gangsters” operate silently.
OH! Wow did I whoosh myself there. Thanks for the friendly clarification!
They call me the Hiphopopotamus
My lyrics are bottomless
They call me the Hiphopopotamus Flows that glow like phosphorous Popping off the top of this esophagus Rocking this metropolis I’m not a large water-dwelling mammal Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis? Did Steve tell you that perchance?
You can’t just say “perchance”.
…Steve. >.>
This was my first thought too lol
fuck tha police
I like big butts and I cannot lie

Really that whole song is a masterpiece.

But, ya know, who understands those rap guys?
On Doomsday, ever since the womb ‘Til I’m back where my brother went, that’s what my tomb will say
Right above my government; Dumile. Either unmarked or engraved, hey, who’s to say?
-MF Doom, Doomsday
I really love the wordplay with his government name ‘Dumile’ having a double meaning of ‘Doom’ll lay’. There are a bunch of other MF Doom lyrics in contention for goat status, in my opinion.
“Lookie here, it’s just the way the cookie tear, prepare to get hurt and mangled like Kurt Angle, rookie year.” -Great Day
DOOMS lyrics are insane.
Rip
I never listen to him myself, but everything I hear of his lyrics are genius on another level, I’m unsure anybody else can really compete, at least not as consistently
“In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey”
fuckin magnets how do they work?
Ice cream scoopin’, shittin’ poopin’, shittin’, poopin’
But more seriously, MF DOOM (RIP) is one of my favourite artists, but he’s been covered in a few comments already. But one of my favourites from him is:
Getting paid like a biker with the best crank

Head to Bali, smoking cuban cigars, And we fuck up the party like acoustic guitars
“fuck up the party like acoustic guitars” always cracked me up so much.

Any couplet from Warren G’s Regulate.
sixteen in the clip and one in the hole, nate dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold
I don’t know if it’s the best of all time, but I really enjoy this from Common ('Sixth Sense’):
I start thinking, how many souls hip-hop has affected
How many dead folks this art resurrected
How many nations this culture connected
Who am I to judge one’s perspective?
Though some of that shit y’all pop true it, I ain’t relating
If I don’t like it, I don’t like it, that don’t mean that I’m hatingAs I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I take a look at my life and realize there’s nothing left.
As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain I take a look at my wife and realize she’s very plain
