I was listening to the Slaughterhouse album and came across this gem:

If you are what you eat, how come I'm not a pussy?

Thinking of the topic, another line comes to mind:

One of Mini Me's shoes got more sole/soul than you

Please GAF, share your favourite hiphop one liners here. Funny, agressive, or just plain stupid. Everything is allowed.

 

[Leunam]

No role model, provoke him to shift focus
Cus he noticed that a cookie tastes better when it's stolen

Aesop Rock - Five Fingers

 

[Slizz]

Money to be made best believe a n**** clockin
I run it myself like the quarterback option
I pitch a 10 g's tell a bitch to go shopping
She buy herself some clothes
an she brought me back a chopper
N****s tryin to kick it but no i dont play soccer
I'm all about my cake trying to marry Betty Crocker
A package on the way you kno my whip game proper
And off of 1 key i see 70 thousand dollas

 

[Zoramon089]

And imma open up a store for aspiring MCs, won't sell em no dreams but the inspiration is free

The books that take you to heaven and let you meet the lord there, have become misinterpreted reasons for warfare, reread them with blind eyes I guarantee you there's more there, rich must be blind, cuz they don't see the poor HERE

Some of my favorite lines

[DarkMage619]

You got a gat n*gga, use it, go 'head pull it
Scientists got raw footage of me dodgin bullets
I walk the streets with heat, three biscuits
Outnumberin n*ggaz twin glocks with triplets
When I spit shit I lace it, you get punched in face with
Puncutations of five-knuckle phrases
I assure you the vocalist standin before you
Will destroy you with temperatures hot enough to flamebroil you
My tongue moves much faster than yours do
Every three thousand styles I change my voiceboxes oil
Embarass you in front of your crew to annoy you
If you know some chicks that suck a good dick, then I'll employ you
To this hip-hop shit, canibus stays loyal
That's why every killuminati I battle somebody for you
I'm warnin you, me versus you, I hurt you
My balance enables me to squaredance in a circle
Your head'll spin so fast you'll catch whiplash
I practice lyrical witchcraft on your bitch ass
Make your hard drive crash to c colon backslash (c:/)
Go back to the roots and reprogram your wack ass, n*gga

The man had such talent. Why wasn't he more successful?

Mos Def's entire verse - Thieves in the Night

That song is the defining moment in my music taste. I found Blackstar's album by chance (while searching for Pac's MP3 online) and absolutely fell in love with that song. I knew I'd be addicted to hiphop forever after that.

Especially this part:

Not strong, only agressive
Cause the power ain't directed
That's why we are subjected
To the will of the oppressive

OK, the rest of the verse is just beautiful:

Not free, we only licensed
Not live, we just excitin
Cause the captors.. own the masters.. to what we writing
Not compassionate, only polite, we well trained
Our sincerity's rehearsed in stage, it's just a game
Not good, but well behaved cause the camera survey
most of the things that we think, do, or say
We chasing after death just to call ourselves brave
But everyday, next man meet with the grave
I give a damn if any fam' recall my legacy
I'm tryin to live life in the sight of God's memory

 

[Stat Flow]

That song is the defining moment in my music taste. I found Blackstar's album by chance (while searching for Pac's MP3 online) and absolutely fell in love with that song. I knew I'd be addicted to hiphop forever after that.

Especially this part:

Basically. Favorite Album of all time. One of my favorite songs of all time.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

I actually Remember where i was when i first heard this from Ras Kass

Verbally, I'm takin off from the baseline
With my nuts in your face like Scottie Pippen
As opposed to flippin' chickens
So kill game like Chris Webber in sudden death
'Cause you callin' for timeouts when you got no time left

:lol

 

[jon bones]

much love for blackstar here, i like that <3

 

[The Faceless Master]

When it come to beef, he don't wanna do nothing but cook

always loved that line

 

[RJT]

Fuck it. Now I can't stop:

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

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

Breathin in deep city breaths, sittin on shitty steps
we stoop to new lows, hell froze the night the city slept

Look in the skies for God, what you see besides the smog
is broken dreams flying away on the wings of the obscene
Thoughts that people put in the air
Places where you could get murdered over a glare
But everything is fair

For trees to grow in Brooklyn, seeds need to be planted
I’m asking if y’all feel me AND THE CROWD LEFT ME STRANDED
My blood pressure boiled and rose, cause New York niggaz
actin spoiled at shows, to the winners the spoils go
I take the L, transfer to the 2, head to the gates
New York life type trife the Roman Empire state

[~Devil Trigger~]

much love for blackstar here, i like that <3

So much on my mind that it can't recline
Blastin holes in the night til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, inhale vapors from bright stars that shine
Breathe out, weed smoke retrace the skyline
Heard the bass ride out like an ancient mating call
I can't take it y'all, I can feel the city breathin
Chest heavin, against the flesh of the evening
Sigh before we die like the last train leaving

Best Hook Ever Written

 

[Stat Flow]

BLAST IT OPEN with one of the sickest flowing verses ever!

What, lyrically handsome, call collect a king's ransom
Jams I write soon become the ghetto anthem
Way out like Bruce Wayne's mansion, move like a phantom
You'll talk about me to your grandsons
Cats who claimin they hard be mad fag
so I run through em like, flood water through sandbags
Competition is mad, what I got, they can't have
Sinkin they ship, like Moby Dick, did Ahab
Son I'm way past the minimum, enterin millenium
My raps'll hold a gat to your back, like Palestinians
Ancient Abyssinia, sure to hold the Gideon
Official b-boy gentlemen, long term, never the interim
Born inside the winter wind, day after December 10
These simpletons they mentionin the synonym for feminine
Sweeter than some cinnamon from Danish rings by Entenmann's
Rush up on adrenaline, they get they asses sent to them
(Gentlemen) you got a tenement, well then assemble it!
Leave your unit tremblin like herds of movin elephant
Intelligent embellishment, follow for your element
from Flatbush settlement, skin posseses melanin
Hotter than tales of crack peddlin, makin em WOOP
like blue gelatin, swing like Duke Ellington
Broader than Barrington Levy, believe me
The hot oppresion rent who burn down your chief teepee
You see me?

Bold = Holy shit

 

[The Faceless Master]

put you on the nigga news, UPN and 11

oh yeah, that one too...

 

[Stat Flow]

And of course, this gem

Nice whip, nice chain, a closet of skulls
The stench is like slave blood at Providence Hall

Incredible line

Speaking of Copywrite, one of my favorite verses:

I can't fully become my mother's guiding light
Till my dad returns to tell me what the other side is like
I keep the things you taught trapped in mind
I know you cared even though you weren't here half the time
But who am I to blame
I'd probably do the same in your shoes
I never held that against you
Complained or assumed
You never went through what I'm living
Hell who am I kidding?
Depression is practically
A part of family tradition
So I keep the time we shared close
It sucks to lose
It also sucks we had to share the month of june
I woulda shared eternal time before I left
Each year I celebrate my birth
I'm reminded of your death

Please download this song, because the way RJD2 slows down the song before the start of the verse and then the first two lines are said in almost complete silence (I can't fully become my mother's guiding light / Till my dad returns to tell me what the other side is like) brings goosebumps to me just for thinking about it.

Common's entire verse on Hungry

I walk the night in rhymin armor, bomb a nigga like a winter coat
Have him on Death Row searchin for an Interscope
Yet I sparkle like Irene Cara
Symbolize dope, like sirens do terror
Mariel just had a baby someone else decapitated
Flashbacks of past raps make me so glad I made it
Players is gettin traded
I drop a gem off, them who's style is jaded
My juice is grated
Shit is so bangin niggaz say it's gang related
On philosopher's rink of thought, I've skated with precision
Crews is gettin split like decisions
Com will let it ride in collision
Vision like Coleco or tele, I battle stars in stellar...
Regions, my thought scheme was my like my offspring
Now, it's teethin
My reason of rhyme applies to season and time
Season of mind, body and regions divine
In mom's cookouts, I'm leavin the swine
Verbal vegeterian, squashed beef with Ice Cube
Came in this rap life nude
Now I'm fully clothed with flows
You tricks can't hide behind expensive cars and clothes
Old niggaz I expose like Luke does hoes in videos
With classic material, imperial and rugged like
Got mag, but my slugs a mic
You fake like a smile, like a hug, I'm tight
Skip ladies, this is rip a muthafucka night
Oracle arouse, niggaz don't even run for cover right
Downtown interracial lovers hold hands
I breathe heavy like an old man, with a cold can of Old Style
Hold a Stone Isle profile
Mix between Malcolm X and Sef when I go wild
Hold mics like a second nut until the second comin
Hummin comin towards you with power like forwards do
Hip hop, you my bitch and like a Ford, I'm Explorin you
So, wack niggaz be cool, with them, I stay cordial
Flowin room temperature, cats is presumed miniature
Like golf. Soft like Tiger Woods
And real nigga angles I've stood with ways that's geometric
Don't need to rob banks with dike broads to Set it
I levitate to the occasion, lounge like a lyricist
Rhyme wise, you a rest haven
You sat by the door spooked like I was Wes Craven
You need to do more deletin and less savin
A praise in hell, raisin heaven
Like the bill on my pager leavens
What you should have known from day one
You will on day seven

 

[Jill Sandwich]

Yeah these aren't really quotes anymore.

'Baby mamas I hate 'em.../They just want you to pay 'em!'
-RR


'I'm so ill for real/give myself slight chills...'
-AZ


'I'd rather be broke w/ my niggas than rich by myself.../nah I'm lyin', I'd rather be rich by myself!'
-HR

'It don't look cool with you in a coupe...ridin' around the hood while your crew's on the stoop...'

'Life without money... That's like breathin' wit' no air...'
-Korupt

'Couple mistakes here and there, not always right/but I'm always real that's how I sleep at night...'

[~Devil Trigger~]

from Canibus - Beast from the East. Classic Verse .

I grab mics and push niggas to the left
so fast their hearts end up on the right side of their chests

 

[zon]

Listen cause for your mind I got the right nutrition
We keep shit hard like fat asses and cases of Heineken
Here in Brooklyn, home of the warrior and villain
Trife type chicks Top Billin's, the anthem
Rastas smoke marijuana
Enterprising businessmen shoot dice on the corner
Excuse me while I light my spliff but some choose to sip
So bullets hits brains, when bottles hit lips
Clips whatever happened to 38 special
Now it's Desert Eagles, government issue
Probably the same one that killed Noriega
Chips that powered nuclear bombs, power my Sega
Subliminal hypnotism and colonialism
leaves most n****** dead or in prison
In Crook-land, right hand cuts off the left hand
despite the hand jealous of the next man
So violent crimes, black on black plus mad crack to boot
Everybody can't rap, so most hustle and shoot
Make money money, get money take money
I can't understand that concept cause Jah rules everything around me
Fire burns the unjust like arson larsony
melt MC's with mental telepathy
With precision, we're slicing and dicing
Peace to the East New York, Perverted Monks, and Mike Tyson

I'll post some more later.

 

[SmokyDave]

They said, Mr Smith, please calm down,
We're not here to hurt you,
You're feeling a little bit paranoid
Your brain is over-heating
You're overworked, you're underpaid
and your body's taken a beating.

Another verse from the same song that I love...

My sanity's back on the line again
Last year, I said I wouldn't rhyme again
But I'm, back for punishment, time again
If I should lose my good mind again
Tell my management not to waste good money
Sendin' me away to the farms of the funny
Them places only make me worse
they full'a, crooked doctors and kinky nurses
that poke you in the arse, and measure your schlong
Put that tape measure down, that practice is wrong
They thought I didn't know what was goin' on
But I, knew the drugs was strong
Claw-polma, oxidisa-what?
Tell me doctor, why I got purple snot
I'm feelin' happy when I know I'm sad
and now they wanna certify me mad

I know this isn't quite what the topic intended but it is UK hip-hop.

Sage Francis - Crack Pipes

It's like a whirlwind of emotions that occurs when moms and dads fight
It's like when a girl grins, an emotion of hers
That holds your arm, and grabs tight
Hurl him into the ocean, one of them cold sweat heat flash types
But extreme fluctuations and temperature changes
Have been known to crack pipes...

 

[Brobzoid]

If we're talking actual lines I like to quote and not just the usual 'list your favorite verse':

Probably aint the best but I bet I'm the best YOU'VE had - Slug

Pussy don't drive this car, bitch dick do - MURS

I got, myself a fourty
I got, myself a shorty
And I'm about to go and stick it
Yes I'm about to go and stick it - method man

Fuck it though, Thug it through - Brother Ali

 

[RJT]

To get back to quotes, one that is videogame related (in Portuguese though).

Fui ao programa do Lecas mas não fui o melhor,
só ganhei uma amiga, primeiro nome Commodore

Translated:

I went to Lecas' show, but I wasn't the best
Just gained a friend, first name was Commodore

Of course in Portuguese it rhymes, the flow is perfect, and "Amiga" means both a friend and the old computer brand.

 

[Bleepey]

I think you lot need to be introduced to some truly conscious MCs, whenever times are hard and i need to listen to some truly inspirational and thought provoking lyrics i think of these lyrics:

Gurl shake dat laffy taffy
Dat laffy taffy
Shake dat laffy taffy
Dat laffy taffy
Gurl shake dat laffy taffy
Dat laffy taffy
Dat laffy taffy (candy gurl)
Dat laffy taffy

 

[RJT]

The king of syllables per rhyme ratio:

I'm Slim. Shady is really a fake alias
To save me in the case I get chased by space aliens

 

[gamergirly]

"And you know I love em for that one night,
I can take on ten with one pipe"

Chingy - Balla Baby

 

[RJT]

I think you lot need to be introduced to some truly conscious MCs, whenever times are hard and i need to listen to some truly inspirational and thought provoking lyrics i think of these lyrics:

Well...

My arts is crafty darts while you stuck with 'Laffy Taffy'

 

[Falt]

Not exactly funny, aggressive or stupid...but I've quoted this line a few times.

Scroobius Pip (Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip - Thou Shalt Always Kill)

"Thou shalt not use poetry, art or music to get into girl's pants...
...use it to get into their heads."

DJ Fourtet feat. Abdominal - Vicious Battle Raps

"Doctor is it true when they say that he's as handsome as a deity"
Like a chiselled greek god, plus nimble like a tree frog
But with the strength of 10 men, who each possess the strength of ten men!

Abdominal has such a phenominal flow, severely underated MC, imo.

 

[atomsk]

Lungs blackened from this filth that I'm breathing.
Polluted phrases are the kill of the season.
My ears bleed and in turn I speak treasons,
weaving through a system that dubs realists as heathens.

It's not just the metaphors and synonyms
It's how I assemble 'em, I'm gettin them independent percentages
Spendin the benjamins, eatin' venison with my friends and 'em
Servin them international women, it's like it's Wimbledon

My life is like a magazine, so many issues

i'm killin cats like a chinese restaurant

.

 

[methane47]

There are too many quotables in my mind but this one is right at the top as i was just lisn to it.

Rap snitches, tellin all their business
Sit in the court and be they own star witness
Do you see the perpetrator, yeah I'm right here
Fuck around and get the whole label sent up for years

 

[theignoramus]

:lol You motherfuckers got nothin'


Canibus-Tibetan Black Magicians.

I’m in for hardcore Hiphop, the surrogate father
Protecting rap like the exoskeleton of a Lobster
I’ll moonwalk on water, harpoon jackers
and drag em back to the harbour for the local photographers

GZA Genius-Fame

The saints marched in, Kurtis +Blow+ing his horn
Tom +Cruise+d the boulevard, Chris +Rock+ed the song
For the hundredth time, they pressed rewind to the beginning
They toast to the rhyme, the juice spilt from John's +Lennon+

Fucking love that song.

 

[Saya]

RZA

Yo, yo, the A-1 sauce, the Divine Force
My mind blind force is known to blow time off course
Even, if I rode around the world on a blind horse
Strapped down, I'd still get my point across
Allah is father of all
You debate whether big, whether small
Whether short, whether tall
Whether dense, whether length
Whether strength, whether width
Either man, animal, bird or fish
Whether, black or white, more shapes than snowflakes
Existin', everywhere but you still can't locate
The man of steel couldn't bend me
Time couldn't end me
Even the great devil Satan that tried to befriend me
Understand the equality, God in a bodily
Form, lettin' my knowledge be born
Lettin' my knowledge be born...

 

[AnkitT]

King Geedorah - The Fine Print

Geedorah the professor, add a question to the lessons
He suggest you get a full assessment instead of guessing
It's too stressing, did he stutter like rookie yes-men?
Or did he just bring the butter, like the cookie chessmen

 

[Guled]

Inspectah Deck - Triumph

I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies
and hypothesis can't define how I be droppin these
mockeries, lyrically perform armed robbery
Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me
Battle-scarred shogun, explosion when my pen hits
tremendous, ultra-violet shine blind forensics
I inspect you, through the future see millenium
Killa B's sold fifty gold sixty platinum
Shacklin the masses with drastic rap tactics
Graphic displays melt the steel like blacksmiths
Black Wu jackets queen B's ease the guns in
Rumble with patrolmen, tear gas laced the function
Heads by the score take flight incite a war
Chicks hit the floor, diehard fans demand more
Behold the bold soldier, control the globe slowly
Proceeds to blow swingin swords like Shinobi
Stomp grounds and pound footprints in solid rock
Wu got it locked, performin live on your hottest block

Jay-Z Reasonable Doubt the whole album

 

[soultron]

Don't even feel like drinking,
or even gettin high
'cause all that's gonna do really, is accelerate
the anxieties that I wish I could alleviate.

I think about this line sometimes when I'm really stressed or down and see friends using alcohol/drugs as an escape. I'd rather just wait until I'm in a better mood to get loaded, is what I'm saying.

Off the Wall (f/ Eminem)

I'm 'What's Happenin?' with no Rerun
Doc rob Dinero when the Heat come

Let's Get Dirty

Poppa Bear at the table
and the porridge is poured
since Def is the Label
I'm alarming them whores
I'm walkin half dead, actin' senile
with bigger n*ggas from jail than the one in Green Mile

Da Goodness

Ooooh-weeee! I think the heat is on
Ninety-seven Cheech and Chong, I'm reachin y'all
Right on, my palm is like the cape on Spawn
Active frequency, trip the car alarm
Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit, got moves to make
Choose the date, today you hallucinate
Smokin me out without wartorn, ghettoes
Opposite of Goodfellows, Dinero
Go to any borough who rock the mic thorough
Got your wife sayin, "Not tonight, hullo!"
Money talk, bullshit walk, ask Kris
The baptist, roll Garcia's with hashish
You need classes for practice to tap this
Jurassic crab shaft nasty ass bitch
Hot potato, drop the data
Ganja Emancipation Proclimator
Lock shit down, cock the pound - no doubt
As a juvenile, brought cazals off canal
Brick City be the pros at wildin out
off at the mouth, get dressed like Thousand Isle
Got a degree, on the hash and the leaky
Crash in the V while we Master the P
I beez Bout It Bout It, causin low mileage
Blacka, make Zsa Zsa Gabor cha-cha
Spit somethin to you then turn your eyes cockeyed
Down with the Outz - ah ha ha, ha ha!
Yo tremblin, pickin up the pen again, adrenaline
Got impact like DJ Clue on "Benjamins"
Sentiment, hit you with your thongs and your Timberland
Fuck ya, rob ya, cops say, "It's them again!"

For more serious stuff...

Talib Kweli- Around My Way

We got mice in the crib and roaches in the toasters, rice in the fridge
Bread in the oven by the roaster
We be takin' gypsy cabs and chasin' 50 bags
They be laced with shitty swag and it really get me mad
The way we saluting flags, wrapping them around our heads
when niggaz ain't become American till 9/11
Feeling like you gotta sneak into heaven
When the reverend looking like a pimp and the pimp look like the reverend

Nas- One Mic

All I need is one life, one try,
one breath from one man

Jay Z- Minority Report

Poor kids-- just 'cause they were poor kids
Left 'em on their porches same old story in New Orleans
Silly rappers, because we got a couple Porches
MTV stopped by to film our fortresses
We forget the unfortunate
Sure I ponied up a mill, but I didn't give my time
So in reality I didn't give a dime, or a damn
I just put my monies in the hands of the same people that left my people stranded
Nothin' but a bandit
Left them folks abandoned
Damn, that money that we gave was just a band-aid
Can't say we better off than we was before
In synopsis this is my minority report

 

[karasu]

Thank you Canibus people. There is hope for this world yet.

The best:

"I drink Moet with Medusa give her shotguns in hell from the spliff that I lift and inhale, it ain't hard to tell."

OOHHH illmatic is so.... ILL

the part right before that is one of my favorites as well

Hit the Earth like a comet, invasion
Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian, half-man, half-amazin
Cause in my physical, I can express through song
Delete stress like Motrin, then extend strong
