"Cardiff" by UD is a pretty hot joint! Like an even lamer PUTS, but in a good way.

pop quiz peasantino which backpacker-hating yahh brigadier referred to boss hogg barbarians as sounding like "a misogynist jurassic five"

Was it the starter of this classic ILX thread?

This is the thread where we hate on people who start threads about hating on the D Plan

very good guess

it was in fact lil wayneamerica's sweetheart jordan sargent

"tony sunshine > fat joe" not "pitbull > nas"

Tony Sunshine's misconceptions in the "100%" video that, if there is an after life, Big Pun would somehow have escaped hell for beating the shit out his wife, and thus gesturing repeatedly at the heavens, is pretty funny though.

rank these from best to worst

tony sunshine
fat joe
pitbull
nas

Nas
Fat Joe
Tony Sunshine
G.O.A.T. candidate Pitbull

Haha ben look at the last verse of "Has It Come To This" which has far more metaphors than nas, as well as plenty rhythmic complexity though granted not on lines which you need to cycle breathe to deliver.
I step out my yard through the streets
In the dead heat
All i got's my spirit and my beats
I play fair don't cheat
And keep the gangster's sweet
Turn the page
Don't rip it out at your rage
Move to the next stage
Lock the rage inside the cage
Like SK, it's a new day
But don't take the shortcut through the subway
Its pay or play
These geeza's walk the gangway
Deep seeded urban decay
Deep seeded urban decay
Rip down posters alight from last week's big garage night
And the next Tyson fight
I cook 'em at 90 degrees farenheit
And don't copy the copyright
I got 'em in my sights
Blindin with the lights
Takin 'em to dizzy new heights
Blindin with the lights
Blindin with the lights
Dizzy new heights

lord infamous does this somewhere, on mystic styles maybe? something like "juice be killing, koop be kiling, what more can i say - even children". anyone remember?

That Jemini track about drug dealers. "Whitney's chilling, Bobby's chilling", that one.

But for real though. This is the mother of them all, for better or worse (as it caused much controversy in Hip-Hop circles at the time)

mc lyte 10% dis...

with the beat...

Milk's bodyguard, is my bodyguard too

dan, let's get all pedantic style for a moment here.

it's not a tribute; it's a sibling.

literally.

:)

Since Lyte was dissing Antoinette for jacking the Top Billin' beat, does Antoinette get in too? :)

Young Maylay - I Showed You is written so as to fit around loads of Milk D lines . It's on the DJ Premier Time 4 Change mixtape.

Crooklyn Dodgers - here in Brooklyn, home of the warrior and villain / rife type chicks, Top Billin's the anthem

MC EZ - Get Retarded off ego trips Big Playback. this is one-thousand nine-hundred and eighty-eight / this is the year to make money and be chillin / i might not be Milk D, but I am Top Billin'

Method Man - Uh Huh Meth is killin', M.C. killin'/ what more can I say, stop grillin'

Biggie - Intro soundtracks his life up to the making of Ready to Die with Superfly, Rapper's Delight, Top Billin' and Tha Shiznit.

Dr. Dre - Bitch Niggaz scratches "stop schemin', and lookin hard"

Dr. Dre - Shittin' on the World Dre is chillin' Ruff is chillin' / What more can i say? Make millions

KRS One - Stop Skeemin

Styles P - Stop Skeemin

LL & Busta - Starsky & Hutch Busta: Yo, ice-watery lyrics flow like water spilling / LL: You know the rules of the giz-ame, milk and top billing

Still loads more...annoying me...

the creamy white powder, yeah we sellin that MILK D
my AUDIO TOO raw for children its filthy

- celph titled

rife -> TRIFE

You'd think there's gotta be way more '90s indie types demonstrating they know the 'ledge.

i really wanted to make this more for wholesale bites or hook samples not just a couple lines or a ref but thanx for the post subroc back to haunt

Backspin that that to just Young Maylay then! Heh sorry, thanks.
