rap music's memorable banalities

PB? PB? Who is Peabo Bryson?
Two years ago I renewed my license

Now I'm not all about dissing someone else personnel
But there's no quota on your odor, that's right, you smell

thats what the song is about tho

well yes, i suppose so.

*Insert 2 Chainz lyric here*

I fucked Sherane and went to tell my bros
Then Usher Raymond "Let it Burn" came on

^Wondering if that one is maybe an oblique gonorrhea joke tho. Or something deeper ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"I'm rollin thicker than a milkshake
I like to eat crab but I prefer steak" - Spice 1

I go on and on
can't understand how I last so long

Every time "I Got It Made" comes up in my playlist, I think of this thread and thank ILX.

And, for the thread:

Two white cups and I got that drink
Could be purple, it could be pink
'pending on how you mix that shit

He the track coach and a asshole
Know that didn't have shit to do with this, I was just stating the facts though

-kevin gates

is there a rap equivalent of "i just wanted to say i have been otm in this thread"

"word is born", essentially?

its 'bond'

Born makes more sense.

it's definitely "word is bond", although obv Run-DMC had a song called "Word is Born", soooooooooo

it's both and they have different meanings

word is born = "i just wanted to say i have been otm in this thread"
word is bond = well, word is bond

hence the first being used by childish gambino and the latter used by basically everyone who's ever been in hip hop.

when i was 5 my favorite movie was the gremlins
ain't got shit to do with this but i just thought that i would mention

and if you're looking for divine or a little intervention
well the birds don't fly without my permission
WEEZY

sorry those lines aren't banal. i just needed to finish that phrase

When I went to school I carried lunch in a bag

The opening line of EPMD's "I'm Housin'" -- "Coolin' on the scene like a horse in a stable" -- is like the opposite of this. Heard it a million times but never noticed it started with such a weird-ass line.

You break in my car, you will hear 'Viper armed.'

"Word is Born" vs. "Word is Bond" was an Important Debate during my high school years. I think of "Word is Born" as being like "And thus it was written" or maybe "QED"

I don't know Word is Born outside of the Run DMC track but Word is Bond is from the Five Percenters:

Five Percenters were the innovators behind early hip-hop slang, including "'sup, G?" (originally "G" means God, not gangsta), "Word is bond," "Break it down," "Peace," "droppin' science," and "represent."

Oh man, I've had this wrong for years, it's actually "Listen to me now, don't listen to me later."

The rhyme: "I eat the fuckin' pineapple Now & Laters."

Not banal in content, but Drake's delivery of "Last night I tried some raw oysters" really puts it in this category IMO.

"And when I was five, my favorite movie was the Gremlins / Ain't got shit to do with this, but I just thought that I should mention"

-Lil Wayne

Niggaz in the Bronx call me Lex 'cause I push a Lex.
