"yo it's the starvin', happy Harlem, rap magician
chained underwater, in sixty seconds the body's missing
snake in the grass at six feet you can hear him hissin'
I got a problem with your mouth, so I don't listen
stress rap, you got one, I got five
you do yours, I do mine, but I'm still alive
they used to call me crazy joe, had a bazooka
now they can call me batman, beyond your maneuvers
shit, I'm Atoms Fam to the bone marrow
f**k a soul, even God knows this body is hollow
you love New York, but New York don't love you
you're just a toy with Lucille Ball's hairdo
on the mic it's all magic and I got short sleeves
and I'm just that nice, I might let you breathe
put a mic in front of me, and I'm gonna bless it
hummingbird style, seventy times in one second
hummingbird style, seventy times in one second"
-Vast Aire
one of my fav verses^

MURS is just one guy, but yea he's dope.I like "3:16" and "MURS Rules The World" a lot."Felt" was pretty good.It was MURS and Slug with Grouch doing the beats.Has some really nice tracks.My favorite MURS album would prolly be "Good Music" or "Varsity Blues".Hockey, you should check out "The End of the Beginning", by MURS.It's a really dope album and one of his best.I think you'd like it.As for M.O.P, they're good but i'm not a fan or anything.I definatly dig a few of their tracks.

I said I'd give my 2 cents but since this was started as a general hip hop topic, I don't have to go with the flow of current conversation. I want to mention a few things that I've read in other hip hop topics in here: -
1. 50 Cent doesn't write his own lyrics - what source did that come from?
2. DMX struggles with his freestyle - I've heard that he impressed that Def Jam Jew (can't remember his name) with an amazing freestyle where he outshined I room full of other rappers. I also heard how he used to freestyle about everything all the time when he was growing up.
3. Emenem's a racist - was the racist line from his Infinite album and what song is it from?
