"I've excellent news for the world, there is no such thing as trip-hop.
It does not exist.
It's a... figment of ... lame cunt's imagination.
there is never any thing such as trip-hop.
It was a polite thing to say when ah... you are trying to explain that your not into boring old rock and roll, but you didn't dare to say rap cause your afraid of getting... kicked out of the party and they wouldn't let you smoke up their weed anymore.
There is hip-hop, there's rap there's gangsta rap, there's g funk theres miami bass, bounce west coast, east coast underground... trip-hop doesn't mean shit."

When i was dead broke man i couldn't picture this
...
Thinking back on my one-room shack
Now my mom pimps a Ac with minks on her back
And she loves to show me off of course
Smiles every time my face is up in The Source
We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us
No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us
Birthdays was the worst days
Now we sip champagne when we thirstay!
Damn right I like the life I live!
Cause I went from negative to positive
And it's all good...
And if you don't know, now you know, nigga"
just really moving
>>65127969
I don't know if I'd call it "really moving", but verses like this is why I'm always a bit hesitant to throw the "gaudy, trashy displays of wealth are the only thing that makes rap cool, therefore rap is shallow" type insults around at hip hop. Sure there is definitely an ostentatious show of money and success, but a lot of it is framed with being someone that grew up with nothing, and the transformation being so surreal. And while that's not a total reason to be ok with the "money and hoes" perception, and it doesn't apply to every rapper (fuck you drake), it puts it in perspective a little more.
The year is '94, my trunk is raw
In my rearview mirror is the motherfucking law
Got two choices y'all, pull over the car or
Bounce on the devil, put the pedal to the floor
And I ain't tryna see no highway chase with Jake
Plus I got a few dollars, I can fight the case
So I,
Pull over to the side of the road, I heard
"Son do you know why I'm stopping you for?"
Cause I'm young and I'm black and my hat's real low?
Do I look like a mind reader sir? I don't know
Am I under arrest or should I guess some more?
"Well you was doing 55 in a 54,
License and registration and step out of the car,
Are you carrying a weapon on you? I know a lot of you are"
I ain't stepping out of shit, all my paper's legit
"Well, do you mind if I look around the car a little bit?"
Well, my glove compartment is locked, so is the trunk in the back
And I know my rights, so you gon' need a warrant for that
"Aren't you sharp as a tack
You some type of lawyer or something
Somebody important or something"
Well, I ain't passed the bar but I know a little bit
Enough that you won't illegally search my shit
"Well we'll see how smart you are when the K9 come"
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one, hit me
utterly classic. can't deny it
Hotter than a middle eastern climate
Find it, Tony Matterhorn dutty wine it, wine it
Nicki on them titties when I sign it
How these niggas so one-track minded
But really really I don't give a F-U-C-K
Forget barbie fuck Nicki she's fake
She's on a diet but my pockets eating cheese cake
And I'll say bride of Chucky is Child's play
Just killed another career it's a mild day
Besides Ye they can't stand besides me
I think me, you and Am' should menage Friday
>>65128026
yeah, it was definitely formative for me when i first heard it. remember getting ready to die and it takes a nation of millions when i was 15 trying to get into hip-hop, felt like a really good point starting to make sense of it properly. and also realising most violence in the records is kind of a product of just reflecting the violence of living in poverty and in threat of police violence etc.
also remember reading the randy newman quote about the album around the same time: "It's one of the best records ever made. It's a strange album in that the first cut says, 'Oh, back in the old days was everybody was shootin' everybody… ' and 'Let's stop killing each other', and then the rest of the record is all about people killing each other. It's the damnedest thing; I don't know what he had in mind…"
BREAKDALAW BREAKDALAW BREAKDALAW BREAKDALAW

And I don't care if you judge me
I'm smoking cooked, and living so lovely
So stop looking like you're dumb
You know you wanna try, but fail to get some
Andre's verse on Gangsta Shit is one of my favorites
black girl sippin' white wine
Put my fist in her like a civil rights sign
My mother said, "You sucked my pussy when you came out
Don't ever talk back
I handed you life and I'll snatch it back"
I'm just a latchkey kid with a snotty nose
High school drop out
Space I'm around need whiteout
And I ain't dealing with no minimum wage
I'd rather construct rhymes on a minimum page
Cynical ways, cats sin for nickels these days
Pulling the chrome out
And you acting like pulling the chrome out
My solitary condition's preventing congical visits,
Though make me missin' my misses they keepin' me from my children
Conditions create a villain, the villain is given vision,
The vision becomes a vow to see veangence on all the vicious
Liars and politians, profiteers of the prisons,
The forehead engravers and slavers of men and women

Man I met a girl at Coachella
I like her but you know I couldn't tell her
Cause she had her own fella but I met a blow dealer
He told me that he was a wholesaler
And I'm fly as propellers
>Rappers I monkey flip em with the funky rhythm I be kicking
>Musician, inflicting composition
>Of pain I'm like Scarface sniffing cocaine
Holding a M-16, see with the pen I'm extreme, now
Inflicting composition has to be my favorite line of all time.
>>65129326
>not even posting his best MCing on that album
My mic check is life or death
breathing the sniper's breath
I exhale the yellow smoke of buddha through ritcheous steps
Deep like the shining sparkle like a diamond
sneak a uzi on the island in my army jacket lining
hit the earth like a comet-invasion
nas is like the afrocentric asian half man half amazin

The entire genre of rap is a meme, all rap is memerap, as it's objectively inferior/cheaper music. It's our degenerate plebeian constituents that has tried to make us believe rap is an "essential" genre and that if you don't like it you must be "narrow-minded", a "redditor" who is "born in le wrong generation" and there's probably some racial element to it too. Rap music has no staying power. All of rap is just a neo-rockist sub-genre of top-40 pop, with a "urban" paint job. This music doesn't stand the test of time, it's a fad. That's why rappers are discussed about like fashion. Image/fashion/numbers sold are actually considered when talking about them. Rap is just a really cheap/lazy form of music anyways. The majority of rap beats are just stealing (MUHH "SAMPLING") another artist's music, looping it over a generic drumbeat while someone "raps" over it. The "technical aspects" of rapping are not hard at all. That's why there's 14 year old white girls on YouTube uploading themselves flowing with ease and speed, dropping multis like it's nothing. But because they don't fit the image of a "rapper", no one would take seriously. I've listened to it all from backpacker shit like cLOUDDEAD and Atmosphere to the "golden days" of Public Enemy and Eric B. and Rakim to instrumental stuff like J Dilla and DJ Shadow to the 90s with Nas and Mobb Deep to the CLT approved A Tribe Called Quest and Digital Planets to today like Kendrick and Kanye. All rap is meme rap. All of it.

"Life's not a bitch, life is a beautiful woman. You only call her a bitch because she won't let you get that pussy
Maybe she didn't feel y'all shared any similar interests
Or maybe you're just an asshole who couldn't sweet talk the princess"
I don't know if I love these lyrics or cringe at them
I'm a weed consuma
I get my eyeballs red like akuma
