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

I'm now listening to the first Camp Lo album, and I have no idea what the fuck they're talking about at any given moment. Somehow this doesn't hurt my enjoyment.

haha i love that album, been listening to it a lot lately

trying to figure out some shit to do w/ "park joint," the vocals are so upfront and there's so little music behind the drums i want to blend it with some dance tracks or something. plus dudes sound just as silly at normal speed as sped up, as long as you don't go past 10 bpms or something

"traffic come to a dead stop/
rain find ways not to fall on my head top"

...and you could picture like a photo...
...with rhymes displayed that engrave deep as x-rays

my hand around her collar, feedin' 'er cheese
she said the taste of dollaz was shitty so i fed 'r fifties

about 'is whereabouts i wasn't convinced
so I kept feedin her money 'til her shit started t' make sen'(t)

all the yea'z we wrr real close
now i see his fears through he(r) teaz know she's wishin we wz still close

don't cry, it is th' be / in time
i'll take away your miseries and make it mine,

i refugee from guantanamo bay
dance around the border like i'm cassius clay

Take a ride with me nigga to eternity
And watch me live to see another century

Lifes a bitch, who do you trust
I put my fate in my glock, cause I know its gonna bust

I used to think the hood was cool
But my ghetto ties keep me checking in my rearview'.

Lord you showed me, even dealt me these cards, I gots to play em'
My life is like a game, I'm up from a.m. to a.m.

an i'm duckin an dodgin, gettin glass all in my fuckin hand--
i caught some shelta-- my souljas, they was fulla sand.

'Them same hoes you be repping to, believe it or not, the same hoes
Behind your back, run and tell me, each and everything you do'

you and i are the past c'est la vie much respect girl
but now you're my ex girl and i'm on to the next girl

Our cars look like cra-yon, hoes know I'm the man though
I can shoulder lean... ionno how to dance tho

ionno

haha hell yes

Dizzee:

Bloke from Waitrose is knobbin me old Gran, rubbin in the jizz like Winton with fake tan

sumthin' like jeff'ry dahm'rr my bullets be eatin' human flesh | if u got it thenn i wan' it, i get this shit off my ches'

dro's album is full of catchy quotable shit

i like the song from the grand hustle comp
he does a good job singing about seafood

squid and tilapia

lol 'singing'

rapping

from the "we fly high" remix:
skatin on ice like kristy yamaguch
sittin up in the chevy eatin blowfish sushi

yamaguchi*

how can there be any logic
in biological war?
we all know this is wrong
but the new world order is beating down the door

- megadeth

smart bombs
lazer guided armaments
a more sophisticated way
to wake up dead

also: dro RAPS the phrase "blowfish sushi"
try even saying that.

so many great couplets from that song.
juelz:
i'm about my green no it ain't tennis
mess with my green and i'll become your dentist

diddy's whole verse (whoever ghostwrote that is a beast).

I can't be dealt wit
When I'm on this felt tip

how can there be any logic
in biological war?
we all know this is wrong
but the new world order is beating down the door

- megadeth

haha this reads like some poor righteous teachers shit.

I'm a bboy, I'm the real mccoy
I'm chocolate all over like an almond joy

walk around in this record industry
with all these pharisees tryna look at me

what's that last one oily? bells be ranged.

it's mr. luda, jada and nas
and our bullets give you a deep tissue massage

That's from the chorus of AceyAlone and Abstract Rude's "B-boy Real McCoy" (Accepted Eclectic, Ground Control 2001)

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
