    What lyrics /song phrases stand out to you
    as particularly. . . . outstanding

    I'm not a big Jay-Z fan
    but
    he had a great line

    "I feed her 50s
    until her sh*t made sense [cents?]"

    The use of the homonyms was great

    For Ma$e
    "If I die now
    My Love will still Haunt You"

    I like that one too.

    I killed my dinner with karate
    Kick him in the face, taste the body
    Shallow work is the work that I do

    I'm also partial to "Ghetto Vet."

    A couple of verses from Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog" - One of the best songs ever made, IMO.

    Didn't take too long 'fore I found out, what people mean my down and out.
    Spent my money, took my car, started telling her friends she wants to be a star.
    I don't know but I been told, a big-legged woman ain't got no soul.

    All I ask for when I pray, steady rollin' woman gonna come my way.
    Need a woman gonna hold my hand, won't tell me no lies, make me a happy man.


    The third verse from Ludacris's "Number One Spot" - I think all the lyrics in this song are genius. They sound a lot better when you actually hear him flowin'.

    Causin lyrical disasters, it's the master
    Make music for Mini-Me's, models and Fat Bastards
    These women tryin yo get me out my Pelle Pelle
    They strip off my clothes and tell me, "Get in my belly!"
    Stay on the track, hit the ground runnin like Flo-Jo
    Sent back in time and I've never lost my mojo
    Ladies and gentlemen ahh, boys and girls
    Ludacris sent down to take over the whole world!

    Have you come here for forgiveness,
    Have you come to raise the dead
    Have you come here to play Jesus
    to the lepers in your head

    Got a gun, fact I got two
    That's ok man cause I love god
    Glorified version of a pellet gun
    feels so manly, when armed


    They're piling in the back seat.
    They're generating steam heat.
    Pulsating to the back beat.
    Blitzkrieg Bop.

    but it's rushing around
    seems what's wrong the world
    don't lose the dreams inside your head
    they'll only be there 'til you're dead
    dream

    "....I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black..." from Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box. Also, from the same song, "...throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back..."

    Ice Cube...

    Just wakin up in the mornin gotta thank God
    I don't know but today seems kinda odd
    No barkin from the dog, no smog
    And momma cooked a breakfast with no hog (damn)
    I got my grub on, but didn't pig out
    Finally got a call from a girl I wanna dig out
    (Whassup?) Hooked it up for later as I hit the do'
    Thinkin will I live, another twenty-fo'
    I gotta go cause I got me a drop top
    And if I hit the switch, I can make the ass drop
    Had to stop, at a red light
    Lookin in my mirror and not a jacker in sight
    And everything is alright
    I got a beep from Kim, and she can f**k all night
    Called up the homies and I'm askin y'all
    Which park, are y'all playin basketball?
    Get me on the court and I'm trouble
    Last week f***d around and got a triple double
    Freakin n***z everyway like M.J.
    I can't believe, today was a good day...

    This has always been in my estimation the greatest verse ever spit.

    Now I was raised as a young black male
    In order to get paid, forced to make crack sales
    Caught a n**** so they send me to these overpacked jails
    In the cell, countin days in this livin black Hell, do you feel me?
    Keys to ignition, use at your discretion
    Roll with a twelve gauge pump for protection
    N***** hate me in the section from years of chin checkin
    Turn to Smith and Wesson war weapons
    Heavenly Father I'm a soldier, I'm gettin hotter
    cause the world's gettin colder, baby let me hold ya
    Talk to my guns like they fly b****es
    All you bustas best to run look at my b****es
    Now I know the answers to the question, do dreams come true
    Still starin at the world through my rearview (I say)
    They got me starin at the world through my rearview
    Go on baby scream to God, he can't hear you
    I can feel your heart beatin fast cause it's time to die
    Gettin high, watchin time fly -- and all my mother****ers can
    die

    - 2Pac, Starin through my rearview, off the Phil Collins sample.

    Oh and BTW, I was offline for about a week so the Rap Tourney was delayed, I almost have the list ready and we'll probably see it up by the start of next week.

    Mother's Little Helper (Jagger/Richards)


    What a drag it is getting old
    "Kids are different today"
    I hear ev'ry mother say
    Mother needs something today to calm her down
    And though she's not really ill
    There's a little yellow pill
    She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
    And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day

    "Things are different today"
    I hear ev'ry mother say
    Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
    So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak
    And goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
    And two helps her on her way, get her through her busy day

    Doctor please some more of these
    Outside the door, she took four more
    What a drag it is getting old

    "Men just aren't the same today"
    I hear ev'ry mother say
    They just don't appreciate that you get tired
    They're so hard to satisfy. You can tranquilize your mind
    So go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
    And four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight

    Doctor please some more of these
    Outside the door, she took four more
    What a drag it is getting old

    "Life's just much too hard today"
    I hear ev'ry mother say
    The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
    And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
    No more running to the shelter of a mother's little helper
    They just helped you on your way through your busy dying day

    Dude, I don't know about that... you'd probably cause 3814 to have a mental breakdown. He seems on edge with the tourneys, so if you post that, he might find a way to crash the site.:D;)

    The opening verse from Dr. Dre's "Forgot About Dre" - Arguably one of the best rap songs ever. His attitude, the lyrics, and the way he responded to all the critics out there was unforgettable for me. It was also the first song Eminem was on, so that was nice. I rap the whole verse along with him everytime I hear it, aren't I special?

    Y'all know me, still the same O.G., but I been low key
    Hated on by most these n***** wit no cheese, no deals and no G's
    No wheels and no keys, no boats, no snowmobiles, and no ski's
    Mad at me 'cause I can finally afford to provide my family wit groceries
    Got a crib wit a studio and it's all full of tracks
    to add to the wall full of plaques
    Hangin' up in the office in back of my house like trophies
    Did y'all think I'ma let my dough freeze? ** please
    You better bow down on both knees
    Who you think taught you to smoke trees?
    Who you think brought you the oldies?
    Eazy-E's, Ice Cube's, and D.O.C's
    The Snoop D-O-double-G's
    and the group that said mother-"**** Tha Police"
    Gave you a tape full of dope beats
    to bump when you stroll through in your hood
    And when your album sales wasn't doin too good
    who's the Doctor they told you to go see?
    Y'all better listen up closely
    All you n***** that said that I turned pop, or The Firm flopped
    Y'all are the reason that Dre ain't been gettin no sleep
    so **** Y'ALL, all of y'all; if y'all don't like me, BLOW ME!
    Y'all are gonna keep ****in around wit me
    and turn me back to the old me

    ". . . . preparing for the feast
    The stabbing with their skinny knives
    but they still can't kill the beast"

    " . . has alot of pretty pretty boys . .. that she calls friends"

    "you can check out any time you want
    But you can't ever Leave"

    Hotel California

    Trying to figure out what this song is all about still

    Did we expect that life was ever fair my God
    I sowed a field of rose and reaped a whipping rod

    --------

    How many roads must a man walk down
    Before you call him a man?
    Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
    Before she sleeps in the sand?
    Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
    Before they're forever banned?
    The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
    The answer is blowin' in the wind.

    How many times must a man look up
    Before he can see the sky?
    Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
    Before he can hear people cry?
    Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
    That too many people have died?
    The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
    The answer is blowin' in the wind.

    How many years can a mountain exist
    Before it's washed to the sea?
    Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
    Before they're allowed to be free?
    Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
    Pretending he just doesn't see?
    The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
    The answer is blowin' in the wind.

    ------

    Oh - and any song by Paul Simon. "Something so Right", "Old Friends" and "American Tune" are some of my favorites.
