Chip$: La Bamba [The Lyrics]

by Thomas September 20, 2011 Lyrics

When track two from Chip$’ Couch Potato comes on, it mesmerizes you with its off beat drum pattern and addictive vocal sample, which sounds like someone speaking in tongues. Chip$‘ verses are a mixture of style, ish talking, humor, and numerous background vocal effects (growls, mumbles, etc). Add those elements with his knack for emphasizing [...]

The Left: Binoculars [The Lyrics]

by Thomas October 27, 2010 Lyrics

Apollo laces a somber almost gloomy track for Journalist 103 to provide his first person view of the world, through “Bincoulars.” The track comes with all of the Apollo Brown trimmings he is becoming known for: static filled beat, dirty drums, and wicked vocal sample. This track bangs as he seems to summons his enter [...]

Marv Won: Real Detroit (Remix) [The Lyrics]

by Thomas October 22, 2010 Lyrics

Marv Won bullies this beat. The cocky and witty bars are there as well as the precise (almost perfect) flow. The track first appeared on The Reset in May and now is featured on The Left‘s Gas Leaks EP. Gas Mask hits stores next Tuesday, but The Reset [buy], Gas Leaks [buy], and Marv Won‘s [...]

Boog Brown: Friends Like These [The Lyrics]

by Thomas September 29, 2010 Lyrics

Boog and Apollo Brown‘s album, Brown Study is an extremely dope album, nuff said. Apollo crafted mellow, but hard knocking tracks for Boog to spit her poetic rhymes over. From start to finish the album is straight crack, but “Friends Like These” is my ish. I have to listen to the track at least three/four [...]

Danny Brown: Black & Brown [The Lyrics]

by Thomas September 6, 2010 Lyrics

I know by now everyone has download and at least given Black Milk‘s fourth album, Album of the Year AT least two or three spins by now? I’m on my 1012th listen in little over a day and it’s like “Whoa!” (c) @therealblackrob. I can honestly say I’ve just started following Black like two years [...]

Phonte (Little Brother): Tigallo for Dolo [Lyrics]

by Thomas April 24, 2010 Lyrics

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JEDUqFEZHE”>

I’ve been “working” on this post for two days now trying to put into words the dopeness that is “Tigallo for Dolo.” I’ve had four or five drafts of this post for some unknown reason. Phonte in this one verse tells us where he’s been, where is at (currently), and where he sees his future [...]

Method Man: Shaolin What [Lyrics]

by Thomas April 1, 2010 Lyrics

Method Man absolutely destroyed 4th Disciple‘s track as he weaves in and out of the piano laced track. Tical 2000 was uneven at times (mostly the skits), but this song is the one of the highlights from the album. Hit the cut for the lyrics. Lyrics from OHHLA.

The Notorious B.I.G.: Oh My Lord [Lyrics]

by Thomas March 9, 2010 Lyrics

R.I.P. to Christopher George Latore Wallace aka The Notorious B.I.G.

The Notorious B.I.G.: Things Done Changed [Lyrics]

by Thomas March 8, 2010 Lyrics

Big Poppa‘s third verse is a sad reality for many youth growing up in the concrete jungle. Lyrics from OHHLA.

The Notorious B.I.G.: Kick in the Door [Lyrics]

by Thomas March 7, 2010 Lyrics

My favorite song from Life After Death‘s first disc. DJ Premier‘s flip of Screaming Jay Hawkins song is crazy, brilliant even. The track allows B.I.G. to get some ish off his chest. This was played repeatedly on March 25, 1997 and still gets the same treatment thirteen years later when the disc is popped in [...]

The Notorious B.I.G.: Who Shot Ya? [Lyrics]

by Thomas March 6, 2010 Lyrics

“The greatest rapper of all time died on March 9th.” Canibus uttered those words on “2nd Round Knockout” back in 1998. March 9 will be upon us next week so the net will be flooded with Big Poppa tributes, mixtapes, fan remixes, video clips, etc. I’m pretty sure the KN crew will cook up something [...]

Big Pun: Drop It Heavy [Lyrics]

by Thomas February 7, 2010 Lyrics

Probably one of my favorite Big Pun verses. We’ll be paying our respects to the Punisher along with Dilla today. RIP Christopher Lee Carlos Rios: November 10, 1971 – February 7, 2000 . Hit the cut for the lyrics from OHHLA.

Killah Priest: Street Matrix [Music Video]

by Justin January 7, 2010 Lyrics

Check out the visuals for Killah Priest’s song “Street Matrix” off his slept on album Elizabeth, which is available now. as a bonus, hit the jump for the lyrics to song.

Wu-Tang Clan: Triumph [Lyrics]

by Thomas December 13, 2009 Lyrics

Masta Killa‘s nugget “The dumb are mostly intrigued by the drum” = best line on song. I didn’t say verse, but “best line.” Lyrics from OHHLA.

Jay-Z: December 4 [Lyrics]

by Thomas December 4, 2009 Lyrics

Happy born day to the Jigga man. Hit the cut for the OHHLA lyrics to the song.

Lupe Fiasco: Fireman (Yoga Flame) [The Lyrics]

by Thomas November 27, 2009 Lyrics

Lupe dropped his mixtape Enemy of the State: A Love Story at 12am on Thanksgiving day as promised. The tape seems to be getting praise for it’s strong lyricism and witty wordplay. I’m about ten listens already and dopeness is what I call it. Lupe gives great performances on all of the songs and I [...]

Ol’ Dirty Bastard: Brooklyn Zoo (The Lyrics)

by Thomas November 15, 2009 Lyrics

If you are a Wu-Tang Clan fan you know this song. If you’ve been to any underground type club/party you’ve heard this song. When this song is played the head starts to nod, neck starts to snap, and the face is contorted a little. Probably of the the Clan‘s best songs solo/group. “Brooklyn Zoo” is [...]

Wu-Tang Clan: Life Changes (The Lyrics)

by Thomas November 14, 2009 Lyrics

“Life Changes” from Wu-Tang Clan‘s heavily slept on 8 Diagrams [sample set] album was a beautiful tribute to Russell Jones. All of the clan except Ghostface contribute a dope verse to Ason. Deck‘s verse has always been the stand out for me because of the pain, hurt, and shame he felt because of Dirty‘s death [...]

Ol’ Dirty Bastard: Raw Hide (The Lyrics)

by Thomas November 13, 2009 Lyrics

Paying tribute to Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s life and music will be taking place until Sunday, which happens to be his born day. Highlighting some of Dirt Dog’s lyrics is a must over the next three days as well. “Raw Hide” is one of my favorites off of his debut album as it has Dirt, Rae, [...]

Phonte (Little Brother): The Becoming (The Lyrics)

by Thomas October 20, 2009 Lyrics

My frustration of not finding Boy Meets World and some other albums (Born and Raised, Street Hop, or Elizabeth: Introduction To The Psychic) in Best Buy today had me thinking about Phonte‘s first few bars of “The Becoming.” Its fitting as Fashawn dropped an extremely dope album that isn’t in the stores (or at least [...]
