one of the best verses of all time
If we're gonna talk about the best verses of all time, Pharoah's opener on Prisoners of War has gotta be a contender:
I stand here before the forces of evil with a style,
The poetically God-gifted child,
Bringin' forth the story of a lyrical soldier
Blessed to manifest in the eyes of the beholder,
Words of wisdom never abuse the lines
They increase as I release a phrase like an Uzi nine,
From the larynx,
Shot in repetition words never heard before
But still the rendition of rap will enable me to attack
From dawn to dusk, for liberation
Driven I will never give in to interrogation
The rank, given to me, the Pharoahe
Cause every bro flows like a crossbow,
Equipped to pierce your soul with a poison-tip arrow,
Any man wearing a blindfold can be misled
But wise are the ones with the eyes in the backs of the head,
Here's the key to unlock the door:
Imagine a poet without poetical form,
Rhymes are for sure as an attack
Cos they adapt to combat for the prisoners of war.
These is another classic
I got you stuck off the realness, we be the infamous
you heard of us
official Queensbridge murderers
the Mobb comes equipped with warfare, beware
of my crime family who got nuff shots to share
for all of those who wanna profile and pose
rock you in your face, stab your brain wit' your nosebone
you all alone in these streets, cousin
every man for theirself in this land we be gunnin'
and keep them shook crews runnin'
like they supposed to
they come around but they never come close to
I can see it inside your face
you're in the wrong place
cowards like you just get they're whole body laced up
with bullet holes and such
speak the wrong words man and you will get touched
you can put your whole army against my team and
I guarantee you it'll be your very last time breathin'
your simple words just don't move me
you're minor, we're major
you all up in the game and don't deserve to be a player
don't make me have to call your name out
your crew is featherweight
my gunshots'll make you levitate
I'm only nineteen but my mind is old
and when the things get for real my warm heart turns cold
another nigga deceased, another story gets told
it ain't nothin' really
hey, yo dun spark the Phillie
so I can get my mind off these yellowbacked niggas
why they still alive I don't know, go figure
meanwhile back in Queens the realness is foundation
if I die I couldn't choose a better location
when the slugs penetrate you feel a burning sensation
getting closer to God in a tight situation
now, take these words home and think it through
or the next rhyme I write might be about you
classssic^
i love this song
"R to the I, D to the E, check out how we the I.N.C.
Get more Biz than Markie as I spark thee
mike like lightnin, that's frightenin, I'm hypin
niggaz up, cuz they don't know the score
Ooooh here comes the roar, knock on your door
I wonder who it is and who could it be
Ain't nobody but the I.N.C.
Wit mo' Soul than the Train I'm a reign
With 808 beats that hit big like Kane
Daddy, caddy, Coup DeVille, chill
Jump in my ride and slide down the hill
To see if we catch dem kids talking that was talkin that mess
And tryin to impress, never the lesstheless, yo
I gotta let em know they can't find us, so get behind us
Cause we cruise in the I.N.C. Ride"
This one of my favorite Viktor verse
A modern day marvel but terrible, better horrible
When he grab the mic, son he crushed up all his metacarpals
He said he ain't mean it, totally by accident
After the show, he didn't follow where y'all taxi went
Will this be available on wax? Ask Max Mill
They on the opposition to his ass wack tax bill
But will it pass the senate? Slum lord tenant
And super like 1-A, have a fun stay
One day, he plan to put in a runway
With enough land for his own projects and gun play
Section 8 penthouse, maid look like Faye Dunaway
Alotta y'all assed out like gay runaways
It's how they say "semi-risque"
All day everyday, give out Emmy's the quick way
Have the average mc say, "Gimme a sick day!"
They really ain't got shit to say like Timmy McVeigh
Get a hunch, a real rag tag bunch
In school, he kept a doo rag in his bag lunch
Just to eat heads on some breakdance shit and spit
one a my favourite all time verses is rza's from 4th chamber
Aiyyo, camoflouge chameleon, ninjas scalin your buildin
No time to grab the gun they already got your wife and children
A hit was sent, from the President, to rage your residence
Because you had secret evidence, and documents
On how they raped the continents, and it's the prominent
dominant Islamic, Asiatic black hebrew
The year two thousand and two, the battle's filled with the Wu
Six million devils just died from the Bubonic Flu
Or the Ebola Virus, under the reign of King Cyrus
You can see the weakness of a man right through his iris
Un-loyal snakes get thrown in boilin lakes
of hot oil, it boils your skin, chickenheads gettin slim
like Olive Oyl, only plant the seed deep inside fertile soil
Fortified with essential, vitamin and mineral
use the sky for a blanket, stuffin clouds inside my pillow
Rollin with the Lands, the tribe's a hundred and forty four thousand chosen
Protons Electrons Always Cause Explosions

so today my friends and i were just driving around, and the only cd's i had in the car were Masta Ace- Long Hot Summer, A Tribe Called Quest- Anthology and Quasimoto- The Unseen
they hated Quas' album and ATCQ was too "old school" for them. they hated the Masta Ace, but track 15 made them laugh for a long ass time...i mean long ass time, we listened to the damn song about 30 times.
funny moments for them:
[Masta Ace]
Wendy Barker
Chick was a friendly stalker
Met her in India in a Fendi parka
Switched the plan, never got to sniff the plant
'Cause her dad came home he had a pistol man
So I jumped out the window like a ***** and ran
[Masta Ace]
Cristol-Ann
Met her in Bristol man
Had a show with Shauwny-T and Mr. Jam
Listen fam, she had a big rack of lamb
And they caused mad problems like math exams
Ask my man, her **** caused traffic jams
[Punchline]
Yo, in India
I got an Indian chick named Dirty Red
When I cum I just aim for the dot on the forehead
Legs spread, got this girl Benet in France nice
Won't hit it 'cause the ***** too big like Kelly Price
Got head in the bathroom before my next flight
[Wordsworth]
Uh, yo, yo
I got Nina in Vienna
Tina in Sierra
Even Phoebe in Atlanta
Trish and Trina in Savannah
Dede, Kiki, Cece and Tameka in Havannah
Sabrina, Alexandra, Hannah, three in Indiana
Athena and Samantha from Tahiti and they dancers
Genie who was squeezy, did graffiti and a Cancer
While leaving Louisiana gave a CD as a sampler
Was me and me and Tamber
Drove to meet me with her grandma
She's from Alabama
Freaky and be easy in a camper
But I squeeze her
Had a threesome in her Mitsubishi Lancer
im kinda sick of the song now 😛
Behind the Mask of a Villain, Part I
The first installment of Loosie’s interview trill-ogy with MF Doom, Hip-Hop’s most demented mind.
by Douglas Passion | 2005.09.25
MF Doom basks in contradiction. The metal mask, originally installed as a shield from the gimmickry of contemporary Hip-Hop, has become an iconic accessory he remains unrecognizable without. His lyrics are baroque strings of pop-culture references and colorful slang, all delivered in a conversational deadpan more suited for the recitation of an impotency drug's side-effects. He's a veteran rapper that has somehow redefined himself as a hot commodity in an industry where the young devour the old and comebacks are limited to $500 guest appearances on underground rap compilations. Yes, this is an old-school street dude who has been incongruously embraced by the same trendoids who tremble with excitement at each new release from Kid Robot. But these apparent inconsistencies all wither into inconsequential dust when confronted with one simple, easy truth: MF Doom is obsessed with words. It’s not “true-school” cliché; it’s who he is and what he values most in his art. His single-minded devotion to arcane terminology, rhyming architecture and just plain being more ill than the next dude is what makes him a unique artist. After fawning over his releases for several years, Loosie finally had the chance to talk with the Metal Face Villain. We didn’t squander the opportunity. Broken down into a three-part series, we offer one of the most comprehensive and sprawling interviews ever conducted with MF Doom. We begin by discussing his current project, the collaborative DangerDoom album he created with producer Danger Mouse.
So how does DangerDoom tie in with Adult Swim?
Those are our peoples. The way they do it creatively and the way they spin it, it’s similar to how we spin it. We all laugh at the same jokes and shit. The humor side of it. One of the key points, on Aqua Team in particular, your man Karl, dude sometimes be talking about Rap or Hip-Hop and how it’s corny or bubblegum music. He’s giggin’ on them a little bit. So kinda I played off that a little bit, like I’m an emcee and I’m giggin’ on it too like, “Yeah, the shit is corny now, they got it on TV.” But at the same time, I’m rhyming and it’s straight Hip-Hop shit. It’s almost contradicting itself, one of those slight, funny contradictions.
What sort of input did you receive from the people who produce the show?
They let us run with it. “Whatever you guys want to do…blaow! See what you come up with.” We had kind of full creative control on it. So that was peace – that’s how I usually work, anyway. I knew Danger was like that; he ain’t tryin’ to have nobody telling him what to do. It was a mutual respect. They respect how we get down and know how professional we are. And at the same like, they doing their thing too. We met at the crossroads.
The internet has been buzzing about the album's collaboration between you and Ghostface.
Starks is my people! While I was working on this joint with him, I was finishing up this one and he’s finishing up his solo joint for Def Jam. We traded back and forth like “Ba-Boom!” I’d throw him a beat; it was like on of those kind of moves. It was the chemistry. I’m not gonna be working with nobody if I ain’t got no regular chemistry with him. It ain’t gonna be like, “Okay, I got beats and we never meet and I just send beats online and we got an album out all of the sudden”. A character like Starks -- you just gotta love him when you meet him. Cool dude, real positive brother. We got to the point where we were like, “Yo, let’s do this record! You was feeling this joint? It’s about the masked rapper.” And I’ll trade something, we trade something -- it’s good.
Being that both of you had both have worn masks, how did the concept for a song like that evolve?
I came up with a song about the mask before I knew I was gonna have him spit on it. But the angle I was coming on was more about the mask was its own being -- it’s an entity by itself. And it’s really like the mask is the star in this whole thing and I’m just an emcee trying to come up. It’s that particular accessory that makes it noticeable. Then it’s up to me catch the wreck. It’s like a partnership, in a way. The mask, he’s his own being; the emcee (which is Doom in the song), he’s kinda of upset about the way the mask is splitting the money funny. He’s trying to have me doing all the work. It’s almost like the mask is trying to front on me, so I’m trying to get rid of the mask. I’m pointing out the reasons why. So then [Ghostface] comes with the reasons why he had to get rid of his shit and why he had it on. It’s just based on the fact of how the mask is its own entity in itself.
John Updike that said, “Celebrity is the mask that eats into your face.” I thought that was an ill-ass quote. I wanted to throw it at you.
You know what? I would say that’s definitely ill and true in its own way. My mask, in particular, is a shield from that, in a way. The mask, whatever face that you got…it definitely works like that.
I remember seeing you back at Wetlands in like ’99 or 2000. It was probably about 105 degrees in there.
It was mad hot, I remember that.
You rocked without the mask. Have you done that since?
Nah. The mask at the time was under construction. The show came up and I had to throw the stocking on. I had a stocking cap on out there to cover the face. I ain’t have the metal joint, though, definitely not. There’s a few metal ones, different models of the same one. Ever since I had the first one, I’ve made sure I’ve had enough backups so when you see Doom, he will have the mask on.
