What's up y'all? It's Van, making a return appearance to Wex's Wednesdays. So yesterday, I'm at home listening to some mix CD I made a ways back and Redman's "Whateva Man" comes on. The first line of the second verse is something I get a kick out of every single time I hear it: "I smoked with a lot of college, students/Most of 'em, wasn't graduatin and they knew it." Genius!
Anyway, today's Wex's Wednesdays is list your favorite rap lines. Aside from that one, here's a couple of others I really dig:
1) "Well I'm that kid in the corner/All fucked up and I wanna so I'm gonna"--Beastie Boys, "Sure Shot". Man, that line gets me hype every time I hear it!
2) "What a way to go out, out like a sucker/But I'm on track, like a Long Island train conductor"--EPMD, "I'm Housin'". Sadly, it took me about 15 years to make out E saying "Long Island train conductor." Now that I know, I'm hooked on that lyric.
3) "I got 7 mac 11's, about 8 38's, 9 9's, 10 mac 10's/the shit never ends/You can't touch my riches/Even if you had MC Hammer and them 357 bitches"--Notorious B.I.G., that Biggie/2pac live song (I'm not sure of the title.) When I moved up here, that was on the radio all the time and I thought it was pretty dope. That still runs through my head all the time.
Those are a few. What's yours?

grand puba - step to the rear
Never in a scandal and I'm never caught schemin
Knew Pu was dope ever since I was semen
Swimmin' in my daddy's big nuts
But now I'm scoobin' girls with the big ol butts

Move back muthafuckas, the Onyx is here!!
My name is Sticky Fingaz, I'm the nigga in ya nightmare
Forget da crowd cheer, I live of fears, it's the beast in me!
Even the music couldn't soothe me.
-Sticky Fingaz, Bichasniguz
Now, my oral demonstration be like clitoral stimulation
to the female gender, ain't nothin better
Let me know when it's wet enough to enter
If not I'll wait, because the future of the world depends on
-Andre 3000, ATLiens
Places where you could get murdered over a glare
But everything is fair
It's a paradox we call reality
So keepin it real will make you casualty of abnormal normality
-Talib, Respiration
There are too many to list. . . so I'll jsut go with my favorite lines with Star Wars references:
Talib Kweli "Get By"-
"We sell, crack to our own out the back of our homes
We smell the musk at the dusk in the crack of the dawn
We go through "Epidodes II," like "Attack of the Clones"
Work 'til we break our back and you hear the crack of the bone"
The Roots "Web"-
"I'm a big bounty hunter like Boba Fett
Y'all more shell shocked then a soldier get
If the prize in my sights then I'm goin' for this
Whoo whoo 'Riq Geez be the ultimate"
NORE, Sour Diesel:
i go to sleep smoking diesel, wake up smokin diesel.
change my name to sour and the last name diesel.
ice cube, doin what it pose 2 do
Don't fuck with her, her ass is average
Only fuck with the ones with the whole package
Who gives a fuck if yo' ass look good
If yo' ass can't cook good, that's on the hood
Fine bitches, you shit out of luck
'Cause I'm prolly gon' eat more than I fuck
You got do it all, not just in the mall
Cook and cleaning, love a nigga's shitty drawers
Mike, my stromie, don't be so selfish
Get on the mic, 'cause you know you eat shellfish.
-MCA in Beastie Boys, "Get On The Mic (B-Boy Bouillebaisse)"
'Cause on the mic I got more presence Than attendance in a class of schizophrenics
Here, here
-J-Treds in Company Flow, "The Fire In Which You Burn"
I got more flavor than 7-11 slurpees,
If Magic can admit he got AIDS,
Fuck it, I got herpes.
-Fatlip in Pharcyde, "Soulflower (Remix)"
D. pulled me over said, "Hide your gold,
The girl is crafty like ice is cold!"
The girl is crafty - she knows all the moves
I started playing records - she knew all the grooves
Pharoah Monch of Organized Konfusion has perhaps 1 of the greatest verses in rap history on "Stress" - here's a snippet of poetry in motion:
Why must you believe that something is phat just because its played on the radio 20 times per day?
My perception of poetical injection is ejaculation, the Immaculate Conception.
Thats some deep ish.
