I am trying to make a playlist of some hardcore, verbal brain shattering hip hop songs with an east coast sound. Think Cannibal OX or Wu-Tang Clan of course. Although I enjoy it as well, I am not looking for local Houston rap or south rap stuff, more cerebral--cold and menacing hard stuff. Anything you can suggest would be appreciated and listened to. Thanks in advance.
Possibly one of the greatest first verses <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/qqzeizVR7F8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I wanna hold em like they do in Texas Plays Fold em let em hit me raise it baby stay with me, I love it Luck and intuition play the cards with Spades to start And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart

DMX hands down. He's NY and hard. Lyric from Some X ****, "If you know a b****, you don't listen to that b****!
