It's the greatest genre of all time.
"Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne I'm deep by sound alone, caved inside, 1,000 miles from home I need a new brother for this black cloud to follow Cause while it's over me it's too dark to see tomorrow" - Nas "The World is Yours"
"I reinforce the frail, with lyrics that's real
Word to Christ, a disciple on streets, trifle on beats
I decipher prophecies through a mic and say peace.
I hung around the older crews while they sling smack to dingbats
They spoke of Fat Cat, that brothers name made bell rings, black" Nas "Memory Lane"
"One for the money, two for the better green
3-4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine
Told the knock kneed ghetto queen get the head fiend
Tell him it's for Medallin and use oxcyocetaline" MF DOOM "All Outta Beer"
"How DOOM hold heat then preach non-violence? Shhh, he about to start the speech, come on, silence!! ...On one starry night, I saw the light Heard a voice that sound like Barry White, said "Sho you right" Don't let me find out who tried to bite They better off goin' to fly a kite in a firefight During tornado time with no coat than I caught ya Wrote the book on rhymes, a note from the author With no headshot, he said it's been a while Got a breadwinner style to get a inner child to finna smile And that's no exaggeration The doctor told a patient "It's all in your imagination negro" Ahh, what do he know? About the buttery flow, he need to cut the ego... Trippin', to date the Metal Fellow been rippin' flows Since New York plates was ghetto yellow" Madvillain "Raid"
