rap music's memorable banalities

on 285 i keep ridin in a circle
inside of my ride smellin like a pound of purple

Man I bring some prime Com and Whiney has to get on some Asher bullshit.

This is another one that I think counts as a legitimate lyric, I have had lots of friends who have relished the joys of getting high and driving around the loop (whether 285 or insert-your-town's-perimeter-highway) with your buddies.

YKK on your zipper

Julio Iglesias...We gettin cream like that nigga

More WTF than banal really

It's like this and like that and like this and uh

Don't shoot the messenger. We could have a thread of 1000000 rappers talking about playing video games.

This is the only actual good one since los blue jeans's Big Mac post like 50 posts up.

I never had any idea what that line meant until like 5 years later when I was taking a shit and started examining my zipper in detail for some reason.

Huge chunks of "Rapper's Delight" really do fit wonderfully under this umbrella. The whole discussion of eating bad food at a friend's house is instantly memorable and totally banal...but then there's also stuff like:

I got a color TV
So I can see
the Knicks play basketball

It's like this and like that and like this and uh

best rap lyric ever hands down

who ate all the pies

I'm puttin' on my shades
to cover up my eyes

I get the cream, cops see me flick my beams
I'm allergic to doc-prescribed antihistamines

And everybody knew the pattern of Pac-Man
Rams was 15, and that then was happenin'

I go by the name of the King, Ad-Rock
I don't wear a cup, nor a jock

next day's luncheon
high class function
food is served
and you're stone cold munchin'

i'm infallible
not into failure

i went to the gate to ask where was her dorm
this guy made me fill out a visitor's form

Shouts out to jet jaguar and James brown, so glad I took the time to write their names down, just to big them up.

Doom on Rhymes Like Dimes

I sang on 'Doowhutchyalike,' and if you missed it
I'm the one who said, ''Just grab 'em in the biscuits.''
Also told you that I like to bite...
well, yeah, I guess it's obvious I also like to write.

The clock tick-tocks as I lay in my bed
It's visions of you, circlin' through my head
I sip lemon ice tea, read a magazine
Wish we were involved, in a sneaky love scene

aw

I'm the type of guy that says, "The pudding is delicious."

4 15's didn't see no wire's, and then I heard boom from the amplifiers

and my mom is nice and my dad is dead

Ali said 'pay for lunch,' so I did it.

We shared chicken sandwiches. They was a dollar fifty.

hahahaha

four fifteen inch speakers aren't very banal, that's a lot of bass

You don’t cook, you don’t clean or press my jeans / you don’t scrub or wash clothes or buy food / or make any cream in this bitch, you don’t read to the seeds. All you do is watch TV and smoke weed / get your nails done and feet scrubbed and hair weaved / sleep all day, eat, gain weight, can’t breathe.

yes my name is roman, last name is zolanski, but no relation to roman polanski

I'm like 'probably if you clean up and read a little.'

Went to buy me a pair from the skateboard shop/Went home, they didn't fit, so I had to re-cop

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 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
