Nuri Otus starts a series highlighting some of the best lyrics in the rap game right now. Each presentation will have anywhere from 5-10 featured songs. Hip-hop is an important part of our generation and taking time to appreciate the work that rappers do is necessary. As a hip-hop enthusiast, I want to share some of the more creative/clever/strong bodied stanzas I think are out. Check it out!

LINES PART 1

2. WHAT IS THIS?
Hip-hop is one of my passions, so I especially appreciate strong
lyrical content.
This is a series called “Absolutely (fire) Lines” where I show
you some of the best hip-hop stanzas out. Each presentation
will feature 5-10 songs depending on how amazing the game is.
** Disclaimer: I’ve censored the lyrics for profanity. But
definitely know that artists use powerful words for bold
statements. Every word counts.
LETS GET IT!

3. “So don’t matter how much I say
I like to preach with the Panthers
Or tell Georgia State “Marcus
Garvey got all the answers”
Or try to celebrate February like
it’s my B-Day
Or eat watermelon, chicken, and
Kool-Aid on weekdays
Or jump high enough to get
Michael Jordan endorsements
Or watch BET cause urban
support is important
So why did I weep when Trayvon
Martin was in the street?
When gang banging make me kill
a n**** blacker than me?
Hypocrite!”

4. “I heard a little little homie
talking reckless in Vibe
That’s quite the platform you
chose, you should’ve kept it
inside
Oh, you tried
It’s so childish calling my
name on the world stage
You need to act you age and
not your girl’s age
It gets worse by the annual,
my career’s like a “how to”
manual
So I guess it’s
understandable, man
Oh, you gotta love it”

5. “I hope you get a paper cut
on your tongue
From a razor in a paper cup
I hope every soda you drink
already shaken up
I hope your dreams dry like
raisins in the baking sun
I hope your t*tties all saggy
in your early 20s
I hope there’s always snow
in your driveway
I hope you never get off
Fridays
And you work at a Friday’s
that’s always busy on
Fridays”

6. “Always gon’ be a bigger
house somewhere, but n****
feel me
Long as the people in that
m****rf**ker love you dearly
Always gon’ be a whip that’s
better than the one you got
Always gon’ be some clothes
that’s fresher than the ones
you rock
Always gon’ be a b**ch that’s
badder out there on the
tours
But you ain’t never gon’ be
happy till you love yours”
LOVE YOURZ – J. COLE

7. “Uh, m***rf****in’ microphone
checker
Keep that grip tight, like my
Smith & Wesson
Ike with the mic, which n****
tryna turn up?
Hit you with the hurtful f****n
truth, like Sojourner
M****f***n’ microphone eater,
Spittin’ hot s***, hit ya dome
with the heater
Wouldn’t wanna be ya, dish
lyrical fajitas
Got dragon balls, like my
name was Vegeta”
