"I switched my motto -- instead of sayin fuck tomorrow
That buck that bought a bottle could've struck the lotto"

Best line on Illmatic (but seriously, the whole album is brilliant)
 
For some reason, this quote has been stuck in my head for over a year:

"Went to sleep real, woke up realer"


Of course this comes from the infamous "Plies".
 
i'm a big fan of

I woke up early on my born day, I'm twenty years of blessing
The essence of adolescent leaves my body now I'm fresh in
My physical frame is celebrated cause I made it
One quarter through life some God-ly like thing created

and of course

sometimes i sit back with a budda sack
mind's in another world thinking how can we exist through the facts
written in school text books, bibles, etcetera
fuck a school lecture, the lies get me vexed

EDIT: FUCK BEATEN TWICE :lol

So the question is...

AZ or Nas' verse on Life's a Bitch?

AZ said:
Visualizin the realism of life and actuality
Fuck who's the baddest a person's status depends on salary
And my mentality is, money orientated
I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made it
cause yeah, we were beginners in the hood as five percenters
But somethin must of got in us cause all of us turned to sinners
Now some, restin in peace and some are sittin in San Quentin
Others such as myself are tryin to carry on tradition
Keepin the schwepervesence street ghetto essence inside us
Cause it provides us with the proper insight to guide us
Even though, we know somehow we all gotta go
but as long as we leavin thievin we'll be leavin with some kind of dough
so, and to that day we expire and turn to vapors
me and my capers-ll be somewhere stackin plenty papers
Keepin it real, packin steel, gettin high
Cause life's a bitch and then you die
Click to expand...

Looks above for Nas.
 
My answer...just start posting stuff from Jay Z, GZA, and AZ.
:D


Jay Z - "my mind was fine till the dough hit it, and told me that the mo' did it..."

GZA - "It ain't hard to see, my seeds need God-degree. I got mouths to feed, unnecessary beef is more cows to breed..."

AZ - "Fuck if y'all don't like I'm here and I'm shown niceness. Appear in my own likeness, I zone as my own phychic...
 
Immortal Technique has some serious shit:

"I spit nastier than regurgitating period juice.
I'm about to drop like frozen airplane shit through your roof"

"You better watch what the fuck flies out of your mouth
Or I'm a hijack a plane and fly it into your house"

"Give me a hundred grand, gimme your watch, gimme your chain
That your girl? Bitch get over here and gimme some brain(!)
I'll bust off on her face, and then right after the segment
She'll probably rub it in her pussy, trying to get herself pregnant(!!)"

Fuck, if you like awesome lyrics, just listen to some Technique tracks on youtube:

Gangstar always has good rhymes. I like this one from Moment of Truth:

"While others struggle to juggle, tricky metaphors
I explore more, to expose the core"

Lloyd Banks has some funny lines, too:

"Everyday I got a new bitch
And when I'm done with her it looks like she dive head first into cool whip"

"A lot of niggaz want Banks gone
But my kinda beef will fuck up your grill, and not the kind you put Franks on"

Lots of Banks old freestyle shit is off the chain.
 
I love this one

I think it's wabbit season, nah-uh duck season
Wabbit season, duck season
Wabbit season, duck season
Wabbit season.. AWWWWW SHUT UP!
Hey button your lip it's MC season dagnabbit
And ohhwowowowowwwwwwwwwwwww (whattup Chip?) I hate rabbits!
(shhhhhhhhhhhhhh) Be vewy vewy quiet, a hunting we will go

Canibus on "Desperados"

"I scalp you like the indians on horseback
Running Bull will hit you harder than runningback
Stunning man with brave and cunning rap
Swiftly running laps around 48 tracks"

Royce Da 5'9" on "Boom"

"I'm the verbal-spit Smith Wesson
I unload with sick spit the quick wick could split a split-second
Bomb with a lit wick expression"

Nas' whole verse on "Verbal Intercourse"

"Through the lights cameras and action, glamour glitters and gold
I unfold the scroll, plant seeds to stampede the globe
When I'm deceased, by then the beast arise like yeast
to conquer peace leaving savages to roam in the streets
Live on the run, police paying me to give in my gun
Trick my Wisdom, with the system that imprisoned my son
Smoke a gold leaf I hold heat, nonchalantly
I'm grungy, but things I do is real it never haunts me
while, funny style ****** roll in the pile
Rooster heads profile on a bus to Riker's Isle
Holdin weed inside they pussy with they minds on the
pretty things in life, props is a true thug's wife
It's like a cycle, ****** come home, some'll go in
Do a bullet, come back, do the same shit again
From the womb to the tomb, presume the unpredictable
Guns salute life, rapidly, that's the ritual"
 
"You beef wit me, I'ma even the score equally
Take you on Jerry Springer, and beat yer ass legally"
--
"Extraterrestrial, runnin over pedestrians
in a spaceship while they screamin at me: 'LET'S JUST BE FRIENDS!'"

EM is funny.
 
The Pharcyde said:
I got a big ol' blunt
I'm lampin' on my front porch
about to put a torch to it
then Coco said don't do it
please don't hit that shit in front of my little four year old son
she sent him inside the house meanwhile my Sheri steadily rolled one
[what are you doing (daddy)?]
after the other
then another
'cause I'm rollin' in the dough
so we rolled in the indoe
as if the kid didn't know
he's lookin' through the windoew yo while we tryin' to hide it
to make a boy grow to be ignorant and misguided
about the bud
now I have to play the part of the advisor
because the bud is just the tasty tantalizer
the bud not the beer 'cause the bud makes me wiser
[figaro]
so I said come're little man
[whatcha want old man]
and with his little hand
he grabbed the pipe
a lesson in buddah blessin'
not too young
just right
so he started blazin'
it was amazin'
my lungs are black and shriveled up like a raisin
but who am I to deny the kid a try
at nature's little way of sayin' hi?
[thank you old man]
so pack

I was an emcee while you was in Nutville
On a world tour, you was gettin' your guts spilled
Ten years your senior but I flow like I'm twenty-one
Straight out Medina with a mass of many sons

And I'll finish this, only 'cause I let off first

Jeru The Damaja - Can't Stop the Prophet
I leap over lies in a single pound
[who are you?]
The black prophet
One day I got struck by knowledge of self
They gave me super scientifical powers
Now I, run through the ghetto
Battling my arch nemesis Mr. Ignorance
He's been trying to take me out since the days of my youth
He feared this day would come
I'm hot on his trail
But sometimes he slips away because he has an army
They always give me trouble
mainly Hatred, Jealousy and Envy they attack me
They think they got me
But I use my super science and I twist all three
I see sparks over that building
They're shooting at me
I dip, do a back flip
Then hit em in the heart with sharp skilled book marks
Ignorance hates when I drop it
But no matta what he do
He can't stop the prophet.

Can't really narrow it down to a single verse, the entire song is brilliant.

i sleep on my back cause it's good for the spine

i know a psychic who reads her own palms
and the findings are personal
she keeps her fists shut tight and she sleeps on her side,
well maybe she knows something i don't know

"Just cause you got money don't mean you made it
Just cause you made it don't give you the right to be on that fake shit"

"Plan B before I take the ring and pawn it
The long arm of the law couldn't even put their fingers on it"
 
The single BEST VERSE EVER from a rhyming standpoint (not to mention the HOLY SHIT flip regarding parents):

Eminem in Renegade said:
Since I'm in a position to talk to these kids and they listen
I ain't no politician but I'll kick it with 'em a minute
Cause see they call me a menace; and if the shoe fits I'll wear it
But if it don't, then y'all'll swallow the truth grin and bear it
Now who's these king of these rude ludicrous lucrative lyrics
Who could inherit the title, put the youth in hysterics
Usin his music to steer it, sharin his views and his merits
But there's a huge interference - they're sayin you shouldn't hear it
Maybe it's hatred I spew, maybe it's food for the spirit
Maybe it's beautiful music I made for you to just cherish
But I'm debated disputed hated and viewed in America
as a motherfuckin drug addict - like you didn't experiment?
Now now, that's when you start to stare at who's in the mirror
and see yourself as a kid again, and you get embarrased
And I got nothin to do but make you look stupid as parents
You fuckin do-gooders - too bad you couldn't do good at marriage!
(Ha ha!) And do you have any clue what I had to do to get here I don't
think you do so stay tuned and keep your ears glued to the stereo

Ludacris has a song called "Hip Hop Quotables" Does that count?

You'll never hear nothing as evil as this
I carry desert eagles into the cathedral and lick

My people are sick your people unbelievably bitch
in Mogadishu counting money inconceivably rich

A feverish pitch I'll hit you so you bleed where you piss
I feel sorry for any rapper think he equal to 'Bis

I see thru the mist I see you faggots weak in the wrist
I ain't rapping no more Pazienza speak with the fists

I see the abyss but I ain't going there no more
I'm too old so I ain't licking in the air no more

Ayo 'bis who these motherfuckers that's thinking it's war
in '88 the only white boy spitting it raw

I kicked in the door I spoke on metaphysics in awe
but they was too stupid to understand the vision involved

I wish that we all had platinum that could christen the wall
but I'm a ride for you regardless if its business involved

It's tough.

Az's verse has the better flow, but Nas' has the more powerful lyrics.
Click to expand...
The part starting with "Got rhymes 365 days annual plus some" feels out of place and sort of ruins the mood. We all like ego trippin, but that song was supposed to be serious. So, AZ for me. He started strong, stayed on topic, had a better flow. But Nas has the best lines of the song, no doubt.

One of the best songs about Victory I have EVER listened to.
Jay-Z History - History / The Blueprint 3 (Extra tracks)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRw8s6EvUNw

Verse 1:
In search of victory she keeps saluting me
if only we can be together momentarily
We can make love and make history
why wont you visit me
until she visits me
I’ll be stuck with a sister her name is defeat
She gives me agony so much agony she brings me so much pain
So much misery like missing your last shot and falling to your knees
As the crowd screams brother of the team I practiced so hard for this moment
Victory don’t leave
I know what this means im stuck in this routine
Whole new different day same old thing
All I got is dreams no body else can see
Nobody else believes nobody else but me
Where are you victory
I need you desperately
Not just for the moment to make history

Verse 2:
So now im flirting with death
Hustling like a g
When victory wasn’t watching
Took chance repeatedly
as a teenage boy before acne
Before I got proactive I couldn’t face she
I Just threw on my hoodie and headed to the streets
That’s where I met success
We lived together shortly
Now success was like lust shes good to the touch
Shes good for the moment but shes never enough
everybodys had her shes nothing like v
but success is all I got unfortunately
but im burning down the block
I been in and out of v
But something tells me that theres much more to see
Before I get killed cuz I cant get robbed
So before me success and death monage
I gotta lost I gotta find v
We gotta be together to make history

Verse 3:
Now victory is mine she tastes so sweet
Shes my trophy wife coming with me
We’ll have a baby who stutters repeatedly
We’ll name him history he’ll repeat after me
hes my legacy son of my hard work future of my past
can explain who I be rate me amongst the greats either 1 2 3
if I aint number one then I failed you victory
aint in it for the fame that dies within weeks
aint in it for the money you can take it when u leave
I wanna be remembered long after u breathe
Long after Im gone long after I breathe
I leave all I am in the hands of history
That’s my last will testimony
This is much more than a song its a baby shower
I been waiting for this hour history is ours


PICK IT UP... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Some harder shit from Freddie Foxxx aka Bumpy Knuckles.

On to some more humorous ones.

It’s bumpy knuckles baby, I got lyrical styles forever
My endeavor is to smash you punk motherfuckers
I do it to young n*****, old n*****, rock n*****, soul n*****
Scared n*****, bold n*****, since ’89 I told n*****
I’m still ripping with this timeless shit
While you n***** spit that offbeat rhymeless shit
My life is full of hard times and shit
So all I rhyme about is whooping n***** asses and crime and shit

Immortal Technique

"I'm iller than any plague God gave Moses to send"

" I jerk off inside books, and give life to words, leaving concepts stuck together you've probably never heard"

"Using numerology to count the people I sent to heaven produces more digits than twenty-two divided by seven."

"Attempts to extinguish me don't even bother me none. Like retarded kids throwing ice cubes at the sun, a victory against Immortal Technique will never be done."

"When I was a child, the Devil himself bought me a mic. But I refused the offer, 'cuz God sent me to strike, with skills unused like fallopian tubes on a dyke."

'Oh my god, is that a Black Card?'
I turned around and replied, why yes but I prefer the term
African American Express
Brains, power, and muscle, like Dame, Puffy, and Russell

If we are gonna try to whore our own lines out then ill go ahead and embarrass myself

this art form, so far from the start where our hearts wore//
the scars for every part of our hard road we carved forth//
 
Scarface-Never Seen a Man Cry

I hear you breathin' but your heart no longer sounds strong-But you kinda scared of dying so you hold on-And you keep on blacking out cuz the post is near-Stop trying to fight the reaper just relax and let it go

The entire song is Bonkers, one of my favorite rap songs.
