    I said-a hip, hop, the hippie, the hippie To the hip hip hop-a you don’t stop the rock It to the bang-bang boogie, say up jump the boogie To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat

    I’ve always thought this was a pretty good one:

    real G’s move in silence like lasagna

      I don’t get it. What is lasagna, here?

        The “G” in “Lasagna” is silent

          Sure, but what does lasagna have to do with being silent?

            It’s a metaphor.

            The “g” is silent in the pronunciation of lasagna.

            This gives the meaning that “real gangsters” operate silently.

    On Doomsday, ever since the womb ‘Til I’m back where my brother went, that’s what my tomb will say

    Right above my government; Dumile. Either unmarked or engraved, hey, who’s to say?

    -MF Doom, Doomsday

    I really love the wordplay with his government name ‘Dumile’ having a double meaning of ‘Doom’ll lay’. There are a bunch of other MF Doom lyrics in contention for goat status, in my opinion.

    I don’t know if it’s the best of all time, but I really enjoy this from Common ('Sixth Sense’):

    I start thinking, how many souls hip-hop has affected
    How many dead folks this art resurrected
    How many nations this culture connected
    Who am I to judge one’s perspective?
    Though some of that shit y’all pop true it, I ain’t relating
    If I don’t like it, I don’t like it, that don’t mean that I’m hating

    I’m sorry, Puff, but I don’t give a fuck
    If this chick was my own mother, I’d still fuck her with no rubber
    And cum inside her and have a son and a new brother
    At the same time and just say that it ain’t mine—what’s my name?
