yeah some shit is getting really played out…  
bling is played

i’m tired of 40" rims and iced out chains.

what ever happen to just plain sick lyrics

Yo y’all (y’all) one more time I come  
Knucklehead flow that make you act REAL DUMB  
Yo (yo), I burn your food like Florence  
Run up in your crib like my name was search warrants  
Shut your mouth nigga don’t you complain  
Fix you up, mix you with cut like pro-caines  
Ooh!! Insane to your brain  
Right on your subconscious, I leave my SHIT stain  
I be the mostest with rhyme overdoses  
Hot stepping over shit like Ini Kamoze’s  
Sick lyrics like multiple sclerosis  
Focus, while I display flows ferocious  
Weak niggaz just fall and keep tumbling  
Distribute lyrics like I’m hand to hand herb hustling  
Hardcore like Quick Draw McGraw  
Fuck what you heard you ain’t heard this before

i miss tight flow with slick lyrics

Now motherfuckin case closed  
The shit blow your speaker, keep turnin your base low  
Spaz out because I motherfuckin say so  
Before I blow this bitch like we down in Waco  
Thick in cock diesel, that’s the way we roll  
Big truck shit, even my bitch whippin the Range Rov’  
We 'bout to skyrocket and THE WAY WE GO  
The way the bitches lookin love THE WAY WE BLOW  
Check it, we light shit up like Broadway yo  
The crack-head rappers better JUST SAY NO  
Before I turn stupid and back the heat slow  
Lay and wait for niggaz in the back street yo  
Weak flow, take your shit like I’m comin to Repo  
Create a crowd scene and stack a bunch of people  
We bustin through the doors, shootin through your peephole  
The shoot that never miss is like shootin a free throw  
All you niggaz better go and…

more TIGHT shit…lyrical mastery!!

They was told not to ride in Patty’s +Hearse+  
and stay out of Charles’ +Manson+  
Took Abraham’s +Lincoln+ through the tar bridge expansion  
Willis +Reid+s a map that marks the spot showin  
On his left George +Burns+ a blunt William’s holdin  
Tara +Bank+ed the money that Chaka +Khan+ed the poor  
Alicia +Key+ed his car for givin Melbourne +Moore+  
For the Redd +Foxx+ who bought off the block, but though twice  
As Debora +Cox+ the gun cuz she beat Kelly’s +Price+  
When Rosa +Park+ed the truck on the farm that Kim +Fields+  
Linda +Tripp+ed for tryna to walk in Lauryn’s +Hills+  
Water dripped outta Farrah’s +Faucette+ in the glass  
She was ‘Superfly’, Curtis +Mayfield+ her ass  
Chris +Tucker+ to a show, Ted +Turner+ to a hoe  
Robert +Dicks+ the beat, but ain’t feelin the flow  
But he signed it fast, for half of Johnnie’s +Cash+  
Niam Long took her out in the drop, camera’s flashed  
Tom +Sawyer+ at the Lucielle +Ball+ up at the foyer  
He confronted Richard +Pryor+ to hiring his lawyer  
Suge’s +Knight+ removed the rook off the board  
Donna +King+ was checked and Al +Sharpton+ the sword

‘With CREAM I ain’t with the fame’  
‘Fame is the measure’  
‘Rap celebs’  
‘The place where stars are born’

[Verse 2]  
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+  
They took her to Elizabeth +Taylor+ to dry clean  
The lone seamstress, who was schemin on Al’s +Green+  
You know they shoot for the stars and buckwild  
Like the kids in the yard who play with James’ +Towe+  
A beautician laced Erykah’s +Badu+  
Sean +Comb+ed through the evidence, just to get a clue

The needle in the haystack, from outta earth this kid  
The tiger would kill him once thrown in Brad’s +Pitt+  
Jesse +Owen+ the money from the weed Bubba +Sparxxx+  
They was journeys seen far as he walked in Dick’s +Clark+  
Jeffery +Lyons+ stuck with a thorn from George’s +Bush+  
Paul +Pierce+d in the heart as the crowd pushed  
Acting alone… Drew +Barrymore+ bones  
of the victims, three blocks from Jim’s +Brownstone+  
They shared the same bowl, he caught Natalie’s +Cole+d  
The producer, threw the butter on Esther’s +Rolle+  
Dempsey +Russel+ed him down, got his jaw wide  
In a instant, Brooke +Shields+ him from the gunfire  
Angie +Stone+d him to death, with those vocals  
Keith +Sweat+ from the workout, just from runnin local

‘With CREAM I ain’t with the fame’  
‘Fame is the measure’  
‘Rap celebs’  
‘The place where stars are born’

[Verse 3]  
Larry’s +Bird+ flew outta Nicholas’ +Cage+  
Joe +Tex+ messages from Sachel’s +Page+  
Betty +Wright+ letters with ink from Sean’s +Penn+  
Infinite bars, you couldn’t tell where the song end  
Glenn +Close+ enough to quickly duck the tapes  
Richard +Gere+ ripped while he was climbin Bill +Gates+  
He was a southerner, posing as a, native New Yorker  
The Jason +Kidd+ took his first steps in Jimmy’s +Walker+  
He stayed on line chattin with rap celebs  
Used Bernie’s +Mack+ to search Veronica’s +Webb+  
It cost them their life for the advice you gave  
Now Pete +Rose+ lay on Vanessa’s +Redgrave+

‘With CREAM I ain’t with the fame’  
‘Fame is the measure’  
‘Rap celebs’  
‘The place where stars are born’  
‘With CREAM I ain’t with the fame’  
‘Fame is the measure’  
‘Rap celebs’  
‘The place where stars are born’

lyrically GZA is top dog in Wu…in my opinion.  
Style wise i like Ghost & Rae  
RZA & Inspectah deck have some tight stuff too, but sometime the RZA is too off the wall…did you ever hear the CD he did with other languages?..thats a little much for me.

my hiphop rotation lately is  
GZA  
MosDef  
Talib  
Fugees  
Common  
Roots

most of the time yes, but not always  
Roots put on one of the best shows i’ve seen.  
and i’ve heard the Fugees live too…great show.

JayZ did an MTV unplugged that was released on CD and it was decent.
