Favorite Rap/Hip Hop.....Metaphors/Similies/Lines

I love picking up on this shit in songs. All the metaphors and just straight up sick lines where you're like "oh shit." Heres some of my favorites from some of the best.

..."9-to-5 is how you survive, I'm not tryna survive, I'm tryna live it to the limit and love it a lot"...

..."Just some thoughts for the mind, I take a glimpse at the time, watch the blimp read 'The world is mine'"...

..."If money talks, the whole world's about to hear me out"...

..."I dabbled in crazy weight, without rap, I was crazy straight, I'm still spendin' money from Eighty-Eight"...

..."I'm out for dead presidents to represent me"... - Love that one

..."No lie, just know I chose my own fate, I drove by the fork in the road and went straight"...

..."And you scared I can tell, and I'ma get Bucks like Milwaukee, cuz like Sam, I Ca-ssell"...

..."I'm far from broke, got enough bread, and mad hoes, ask Beavis, I get nothing Butt-Head"...

..."Go to leave and she giving me hell, told her bend over, I'ma crack that ass like the Liberty Bell"...

Everyone list some good ones...

im sorry i find 0 taste in rap its cool if its your thing or whatever but i dont see how people can get so hooked on it

I dunno...I like it mostly because of the music. Its doesnt all sound the same like banging on drums and guitar chords. There is actually a flow to it, its like the jazz of today. As for the lyrics...I agree there is to much violence and street slander, but its part of life and they address that. My favorite 3 (not sure which order) is Jay, Slim, and Nas. They address other issues besides guns and shit, and have some of the best production behind them. Also, i hate any of that Southern shit in the mainstream. That to me has nothing to do with rap at all, its not creative and it all sounds the same. Paul Wall...wow.

Please stop posting here. Go listen to your suicide music ...J/K lol

Yea not all rap/hip hop is about violence. I'm hoping to see some nice bone thug lines soon and people under the stairs. Right now i love listening to K-os his new album is coming out october 10th i can't wait!!

This is the last course of love song i like how it sounds and its got a nice message not shoot that ganster and steal his drugs...

It's easy not to care what people say
It's harder to pretend and try
Cuz they can only love you from yesterday
I'm looking at them now they pose high
I'm just a man who's walking
They stand around and keep talking
They tried to clip my wings
But wisdom fills so many things
Say it again
I'm just a man who's walking
They stand around and keep talking
They tried to clip my wings
But wisdom fills so many things

It's funny how life can go
Dont get high off your own supply
This is my message to the world...

probibly not rap if it has a jazz feel, maybe its r&b ?

he would call it hip/hop... but if you listen to it, it almost needs its own class

if you ambient and like to just chill out to music you'll like k-os, trust me :D
