Greatest opening bars of all time?

[CrashBand]

got my balls licked by a Zooey Deschanel look-alike, cocaine addict

[DƎRDYPK]

My name is HOV!
H to the OH VEE
I used to sell snowflakes by the OH ZEE!

[dead prez]

I break laws, jaws, and false promises
Still livin in the same hood where my momma is



The Shakespeare of 16's, dipping my ink pen
Made a sculpture of me but my dick was too thin

(the hook to the above song is like the best thing ever)

Rappers I monkey-flip 'em, kangaroo-box 'em
Out-fox 'em, Hannibal-Cannibal-Ox 'em
My lines hook you like fisherman that reel in they bait
from Great Lakes, Michigan, with fake bishops in the churches
be preaching for a purchase, not a purpose


Pop goes the flow of the weasel
Strapped with an Ox full of diesel
Trapped in the desert with eagles
Thoughts of ghetto acapellas in cathedrals

[CrashBand]

Can't be bothered, Boxes of CDs in my room...
Can't be asked to shut em
Outside of the gig with an unconfident pitch
Buy my album....... Bizarre is on it

(the hook to the above song is like the best thing ever)

that;s y this thread's a bit silly

[dead prez]

do like opening bars in sequential verses count cause Vordul Mega opens up with some bomb ass verses, Crash you should listen to Cold Vein. Vordul Mega's writing is phenomenal and the wordplay is rly subtle and gud, and the beats are amazing.

Straight out of the depths of hell
Reflect the sec and
Inhale the buddah wisdom
Envision and edit inscriptions of a Megalah spiritualism
Paint a picture from the spiritual
And seriously spit a lyric
That'll rip through a physical ligament

[CrashBand]

hmmm, i guess i will 1 day. u give it 5 stars?

cos it's hard getting that dead prez seal of approval

[dead prez]

lol can't tell if it's sarcasm, but I'm not really finicky and could stand to be more hardheaded, even if I don't like Vast Aire as much he still has great chemistry with Vordul.

Straight out of the depths of hell

these lyrics kinna suck

[dead prez]

ur a faglord, what's wrong with them. Or are u a BREVITY IS THE SOUL OF WIT, guy and anything that isn't imitating hemingway's iceberg theory is shitty.

Those are great though seriously

[CrashBand]

i wasn't being sarky.

i'm kinda addicted to elliott smith atm ay, so not rly checking out new hip-hop...

were u dissing davey foster wallace in te embase thread muhfucka?

[CrashBand]

between the bars is an argument for best lyricism ever....

[dead prez]

No, I'm not. I told you he writes great prose, and I find Hemingway's prose kinna boring, I'm all for brevity but I also enjoy flowery writing just as much. And love both of them combined, which is why The Stranger is awesome (loll I realize how pretentious this looks, but I duncurr, fuckwithme)

[dead prez]

Also I feel like I'd really dislike Elliot Smith' music for reason

[CrashBand]

oh jokes, i aws being slow.

so he makes dfw look simple, cos embse is a next level verbose af cunt

for wot reason?
