Your Favorite Rap Couplets of the Moment, You Contrarian-Ass Mutha!

ha there was this one time i got a lift home from work with this real lyrical new york aficionado guy (seriously there's loads of these dudes around! in london! telling me about uncle murder and joell ortiz and whoever the fuck! bizarro) and the whole time he's turning his nose up at a random cd i made of regular chart rap stuff mp3s when dro 'rubberband banks' comes on - THE VERY SECOND he hears that "put u up on astronomy" / i do trigonometry" line he perks right up like it was the 2nd coming of organized konfusion and refuses to accept dro is dsouth. that's when i knew these guys are shallower than any paris hilton fan!

anyway dro's cool, i liked that album a lot.

i should find out more about lil c as well, cos some of those beats there are fucking sick to death

We eat so many shrimp/ I got iodine poisoning

Figured out I went the wrong route
So I got with a sick ass click and went all out

you got more exes than the honorable ellijah muhammad do
and that ain't even my problem with you

This may be stretching "couplet"....

You cool out to the music 'cause it makes you feel serene, with the birds and the bees and all those groovy things
Like getting stomach aches when you gotta go to work, or staring into space when you're feeling berserk

That's most definitely not a couplet. What was I thinking?

lemme tell you my funniest joke
...i'm broke.

A quatrain?

xpost

Yeah, a quatrain. But anyways...

I'm in the cut, the type you don't recognize with shades
Tattoos? None to trace

i like to pull up my pants and lean back too
organic vegetables mixed in with fast food

you got more exes than the honorable ellijah muhammad do
and that ain't even my problem with you

hahahaha, this one is great!

Ah...now the high starts to settle
So I'm kicking fat lyrics that rock like heavy metal

t-t-totally dude

Not Richard Prior,
But prior to rap I was cookin' crack over an open fire

-Malice (Clipse) "Definition of a Roller"

Not pic-i-nic baskets
Pic-i-nic caskets!

not much love for doom on this thread...

sufferin' soccotash, she took him for his last buck of cash
he love her...motherfuck her ass

and i love you, cuz you a sweet bitch
a crazy rat that might make my dick itch

--biggie

ctrackerz try t' 2 step i'll make that ass walk away
elegant. catch me at a symphony or opera play

??? fat lady (l/it)-ai
'n' o'er til the trap lady s'ang

Now i got 32 flavors of that bootylicious bubblegum
rasberry, grape, cherry, come and get this honeybun

U-God on "Da Mystery Of Chessboxin'":
"Raw I'ma give it to ya, with no trivia
Raw like cocaine straight from Bolivia"

just bought a new crib inside so dumb
got some money put away case the hurricane come

we go through episodes too like attack of the clones
wait til we break a bag then you'll hear the crack of the bone

Fantastic and I start to act drastic
When I see my wedding band on the ho's left asscheek

We had to grow dreads to change our description
Two cops is on the milkbox, missin'

Eenie meenie
We funk like Whodini*

* Or maybe Houdini. I don't have a clue which, since context means nothing here.

As for their rims, they were so high they were awesome; and their rims were full of eyes, all around the four of them.
Ezekiel 1:18

Probably Whodini (reference to their song "Five Minutes of Funk", I bet), although I have heard a Houdini reference recently too but I can't remember where (or swear it was a couplet!). It was very much in the "Ghost like Swayze" vein, as you can imagine.

pussy popperz burnin seams

that's actually the inspectah...u god wasn't even on 36 chambers...incarcerated while it was being recorded...

Deck really is mad dangerous on that record. I was disappointed by the solo stuff.

agreed!...imo deck and the gza were the 2 standouts on 36 chambers...uncontrolled substance was so disappointing and that new album (resident patient) is almost unlistenable...but he definitely gets the award for most consistent best 8 bars on the clan cuts.

my partner's cousin's uncle got killed by a shooter
i'm depressed so there's a rumor "boots is gonna hit the buddha!"

"Boy you lost your mind" - No, I lost my virginity
And I shot quick like that fool shot Kennedy

nice

I'm a young Yoda
Yo, my tongue does yoga.

that's actually the inspectah...u god wasn't even on 36 chambers...incarcerated while it was being recorded...

unless Deck completely changed his voice and then went back to normal for the second verse, it's def. U-God.

she said she dont fuck with rap since Mase got saved
but baby got back like mase got sprayed.

This is why I'm hot
I don't gotta rap
I can sell a mill
Sayin' nothin on the track

MIMS

got a liter of Knob Creek, and a bottle of ether
got the second Mobb Deep creepin' out of the speakers
would prefer to sit at home and drink 'cuz it's cheaper
why you tryna hide the eggs, girl, you think that it's Easter?

OK, let me get this straight....

Is this thread actually restricted to "couplets"?

i guess not necessarily, but that is sorta the design.

"Touch language the best way that english will let us
Just to explain half the thoughts I develop
You gotta change the alphabet and add like ten letters"

Oh yeah, I'm an outlaw!

haha, what is that from?

DJ Zeph and Azeem "Ten Steps Ahead" from the album Rise Up.

you mistook me for a rapper, huh?
well that makes me an actor
cuz i would rather clap a gun.

(this isn't a couplet, sorry.)

i understand that envy is part of the game
but make no mistake, you and i, we are not the same
naw bitch, i'm liable to splatter your shit
light up your world 'til you start to stagger and shit
watch how them hollows straight rattle ya shit
and then i'll leave it to y'all to freestyle and battle and shit.

i'm great in the kitchen like morning cookware
uncle jamima, with my braids wrapped
and three-minute recipes for cooking flapjacks.

And it's Worthless, I got the whole town rappin'
If England lose the football then the whole town's scrappin'
Lying to yourself thinking you're creating the genre
Your drums sound like Pringles cans, you couldn't be wronger

Worthless "Croydon Politics"

Some great flow on the rest too...
