Classic Quotables 1…

Classic 1:
Yo, my man, the rhymes I write, they be the illest
And I be fucking up careers like those of Arnold, Kimberly and Willis
You’ll take the penicillin, Run DMC & Jay say “I’ll be illin”
My crew ain’t juicy, I am not Cold Chillin’.
I’m a super villain.
Why I’d even room with Dr. Doom and we’d be killin’!
I’d rip a bitch in London for just one shilling.
I’m on your cable, channel X
I’m causing strife, but it make me wanna holler, son,
The way they do my life.
Check it…
(Dow Jonz, Endonesia, in Chuck D’s The Autobiography of Mistachuck)

Classic 2:

No gimmicks, just me bein’ me
But you ain’t bendin’ or offendin’ me
Cuz anyways Hennessy used to be a better friend to me
But I had to stop drinkin’ so many pints (Why?)
‘Cuz I have the tendency to forget
It ain’t baseball, America’s favorite national pastime is white supremacy
Never seen a nigga granted clemency
My metaphors is meta-five
My styles go up in your raw dog little boy,
you get fucked like pedophiles…
(Ras Kass, The End, in Ras Kass’ Rassassination)

Classic 3:
While you proceed to cut the mustard, I cut the cheese
Mr. Freeze givin’ cold shoulders to MCs
The sickest of disease
Johnny Blaze at three hundred and sixty degrees
My PLO stees is from here to overseas
Guerillas in the mist swingin’ from the highest trees
Bombin’ enemies
See me in the global war being all that I can be
Camouflage fatigue, hard headed major league
Got’em under siege your battleship in sinkin’
20,000 leagues beneath sea level
Adjust the treble on that thang thang got your shovel
Can you dig it? Keep talkin’ bout it while we live it
All day, every day’s a Billie Holiday
Lady sings the blues get the street news by the way
Have you heard crime pay?
Hit your block like that lava that burnt Pompei, mega hot
In the melting pot, felt the shot around the world
We unstoppable like Juggernaut baby girl
Armed and dangerous treat militia, I’ll make you famous
Chemo-radiated verbal going through changes…
(Method Man, Next Up, in Sunz of Man’s The Last Shall Be First)
