Yo, check it, exit the old styleEnters the newBut nothing's new 'bout being hawked by a crewOr should I say flock cause around every blockThere's Harry, Dick, and Tom, with a demo in his palmNow I'm with helping those who want to help themselvesAnd flaunt a nut that's doggy as in dopeBut it's not the mood to hearThe tales of limousines and pailsOf money they'll make like a proI be like, "Yo black, just play me the tape"But at the show the time to spare I just makeBut the songs created in they shacksAre so wick-wick-wack, situations like thisAnd now I hate they give me smiles Kool-Aid wide and ask,"Was it def?"And with the straighest face I be like, "Hell yes."I slip them the digits to Papa Prince Paul...

You gotta get a label that's willin' and ableTo market and promote, and you better hope(For what?) That the product is dopeTake it from Diamond, it's like mountain climbin'When it comes to rhymin' you gotta put your time inGet a good lawyer so problems won't pileYou don't wanna make a Pitch that's Wild.

ah i knew there was a thread for this ... well not exactly lyrics, but nasally white a&r's who wander onto the track todo voice overs or skits
i was asking d40 if they still do this shtick anymore and he wasn't sure if they still did but confirmed my suspicion it's maybe not as common but we weren't sure why or why not

thought this pharaohe monch line was the most brilliant lyric ever when i was 18:
"still get it poppin without artists and repertoire / cause monch is a monarch only minus the A&R"

I live large, caviar and limosSpent most of my time refusing bullshit demosCan you understand, do you understandWell let me explain I'm the A and R manDave Gossett. Yes I rock itI rip the mike and I stuff pockets
Black Sheep - 'Pass The 40' has a pretty decent freestyle from their A&R man Dave Gossett (above) and a dodgier one from Chris Lighty who ended up managing most of the big NYC acts in the 00's
