Good call on the Jay Z. I know a lot of people don't like him, but he has a ton of great lines. I love his subliminal disses that go over people's heads. They serve as jabs like "back the hell up off me or it's gonna be a problem!" Examples:

Look but don't touch, motherf***er think twice
'Cause the gat that I clutch got a little red light
Need a light?
(Jab at Sean Paul after the video he did with Beyonce. Look but don't touch, "Gimme the Light" Need a light?)


You plan to bang, I plan to bang too
You playin the GAMEs, I'm seein the thing through
You sayin my name to entertain ya crew
I don't play no GAMEs, when shots exchange you're through
Fresh off probation I gotta charge to throw away
My lawyer say for eighty large it'll go away
And that ain't no money to Jay
So you could get it broad day on broadway while TRL's tapin'
You playin the GAME you know you aight gon win
Quit playin them childish GAMEs with grown men
I don't give a fuck about cars or chrome rims
I got apartments you could put your home in
Can I live?
(Game kept mentioning Jay Z on mixtapes and in interviews)


This n***a ready for war, well where that fool at?
I bruise wack rap n***az severely punish them
Especially those that get f***ed for they publishing, heh
Always gotta be the weakest n***a out the crew
I probably make more money off yo' album, than you
You see the respect I get everytime I come through
Check your own videos, you'll always be number two
N***az talkin real greasy on them R&B records
but I'm platinum a million times n***a, check the credits
S. Carter, ghost writer, and for the right price
I can even make YO' shit tighter
(coming at Mase after he made a track dissing Mase on a secret mixtape no one was suppose to know about)


I heard motherF***ers saying they made Hov
Made Hov say, "Ok so, make another Hov"
(Dame Dash shot)


"The pressures on, but guess who ain't gon' crack?
*Ha Ha* Pardon me, I had to laugh at that"
(shot at Fat Joe who calls himself Joey Crack)

"It's all about the Benjamins baby, pockets Puffy, Big Poppa of the Property dummy!"

"King of Philly, none before me none to come, I got it locked like the wig on Stunna's Son." (did yall get that)

"pull up in a 2008 Spoken Word...." Shyster from the new "Poems In The Key of Life" CD
like lyrical skills are the new hot car to have
i know, i know.
in comparision to the pertinent info he serves with regularity it's a small thing but- WHO WOULDA THOUGHT OF THAT?
BTW this is his best CD ever!
EVER I said!

It's on, I'm packin weight like nina simone's piano flow
It's like a Michaelangelo painted a portrait of Maya Angelou
And gave it to a sick poet for they antidote

If music gets you choked up this is the tree and the rope

They researched my stem cells, cloned ten of me
Sent one of 'em back in time just to get rid of me
Stop Pharoahe Monch from having verbal epiphanies
Now that's new definition to "your own worst enemy... Pharoahe Monch
Now this is Just Creative...

Drop Lines Like Enter... Lupe Fiasco
Mann it took me so long to catch on to this line...

If my kids hungry snatch the dishes out ya kitchen... Freeway
Mann this was the line of all lines... This just defined that [Hood] Philly grind and determination...

"great scott! are you a thief?
seems like you have a mouth full of gold teeth..."
Ha! Ha! Ha! had to find that funny
so I said, "no child, I works hard for the money!
and callin' me a thief? Please! don't even try it!
sit down, eat your slice of pizza and be quiet!"

I had to post some Lauryn up in here.. Fugees - The Score - Family Business

[LAURYN:]
My circle it can't be broken
Open, cut-throatin', provokin'
Record promotin, tokens chokin' on they words like smoke and.
Cause we soft spoken, doesn't mean that we've forgotten
Your bootie smells rotten and one day you will be gotten
See joker's is scatter-brained, their focus is unrestrained
My army is trained, you never find us beefin' in vain.
Cause I've seen fire and I've seen rain
You claim fame, while modest niggas remain.
I can judge a character like Ito judge a verdict
And if you bringin' threats I give you sex if I ain't heard it.
See poppin' s***'s about your attitude and how you word it
I've seen the biggest niggas on the block get murdered
And they deserverd it
Or so the beast said when they served it ???
That s*** is nervous
So what's my purpose?
Family, we must preserve it.
Your number's retired
I hope you like the hell fires
You'll be screamin' Murder she Wrote like Chaka Demus and Pliars.

[CHORUS: (Omega)]
Just walkin' the streets death can take you away
It's never guaranteed that you'll see the next day
At night the evil armies of Shaton don't play
So defend the family that's the code to obey

[LAURYN:]
If I should fall asleep and death takes me away
Don't be surprised son, I wasn't put here to stay
At night the evil armies of Shaton don't play
So the family stick together and we never betray.

Unhappy with your riches because you're piss-poor morally."
