Best Line of All Time.... HipHop, Spoken Word, Rap, Whatever

I know this isn't a line, but I think it's one of the dopest runs in a while.

"She said, 'Why you in the club, you don't make it precipitate?
You know, make it rain when you can make it thunderstorm'
I'm like, Why?
The world needs sun
The hood needs funds
There's a war going on and half the battle is guns
How dare I throw it on the floor
When people are poor
So I write like Edgar Allen to restore"

"Im so like a Pip, Im glad its night"

there's somethin' bout your love that makes me weak

I wonder if this is where the SWV song Weak was born from...

I get so weak in the knees
I can hardly speak
I lose all control
And something takes over me
In a daze your love's so amazing
Its not a phase I want you to stay
With me
by my side
I swallow my pride
Your love is so sweet
It knocks me right off of my feet

Finally! As a black poet I always feel weird that I don't consider Langston Hughes to be my favorite poet. I read Khalil Gibran's " The Prophet" at least once a month to keep my wisdom and understanding sharpened. He is without a doubt my favorite poet of all time.

In fact, this book is the inspiration for the project I am working on now.

I find myself reaching for The Prophet quite often. His wisdom is timeless. Truth is timeless. With this as your inspiration, your project is going to be bananas!

What da hell does that even mean? I think I know what he's trying to say but this statement makes no sense to me.

I'm really feeling Cee-lo right now as a writer. I've always thought he was brilliant, but I absolutely love this new Gnarls CD. It's like hiphop meets beach boys style music, meets the early Beatles. Dope!

The songs "Neighbors" is real sick.

"Now my neighbor likes my clothes
But hadn't seen me with my scars exposed"

Also really feeling that "Fried Chicken" track with Nas and Busta.
"Hmm... Fried chicken, fly vixen
Give me heart disease but need you in my kitchen

That's a hot line!

He really gets into the "self" thing a lot...I love it. Seems like a dude that stands on a real sturdy foundation.

I'm going to get the new this weekend.

As much as I liked some of his solo stuff, it makes no sense that the only Gnarles Barley song I've heard is "Crazy." Embarassed

Read it in context Damali:

[Nas]
Reginald Lewis, the black billionaire
Before Oprah, Bob Johnson, how'd he disappear?
Conspiracy theories, UFOs in the air
I've seen it with my own two eyes, and I swear
Like Warren Buffet, real money I'm just trying to touch it
The diamond encrusted shit, live illustrious
'Cause we was deprived of it, suffered
Now we pop to prove anything's possible
My pimp strut was invented when they whipped us
Now we diddy bop just to show you that our strength's up
Just when niggas 'bout to see they cut
Global warming about to burn us up
Niggas never really seen paper in this world
American Black's the teenager of this world
Give us 20 more years to grow up, already geniuses
What I mean is this
I used to worship a certain Queens police murderer
'Til I read the words of Ivan Van Sertima
He inserted something in me that made me feel worthier
Now I spit revolution, I'm his hood interpreter

Ahhhh..that makes sense.

I don't feel that particular line is dope considering that the destruction of the ozone layer will effect the white people who have no melanin compared to us that do. However, I do get what he is trying to say.

The entire stanza that he wrote is dope as shit when put altogether.
