Facts. Dope concept. Lines I missed when I initially heard them
"No need to speed, slow down and let the leader lead
Word to daddy indeed
The R's a rolling stone, so I'm rolling
Directions told then, the rhymes are stolen
Stop buggin' a brother said dig him, I never dug him
He couldn't follow the leader long enough so I drug him" - Rakim dissing EPMD
"What we hear is platinum that, platinum this
Platinum whips, nobody got no platinum hits
Cats know with me platinum always wrap my wrist
I come to the awards, quadruple platinum chicks
Little ones like twenty five, what cats get smacked with
Big ones like fourty five, what cats get clap with" - Mase dissing Jay-Z
"Talking about Twisting don't impress you, like your shyt is all that
Go get your tecs I got grenadas to pack pins
Be quick to stack men, black men with mac 10s
Ready to let their finger back bend
And if I catch your dreamin, of descendant schemin'
Y'all find an intoxicated demon, sucking semen, hear what I'm screamin?
Huh, another p*ssy wants to break me in a homosapian
Beat him down and wont give a fukk what type of shape he in
Yellow is the color of cape he in, punk your style'll be
Facing fatality, split his head like a personality" - Twista dissing The Beatnuts. I originally though the entire song was about Naughty By Nature but it's both groups.
"Certain dissidents diss from a distance
Disrespect and discriminate
bytch I laminate that ass
And wear it at the New Music Seminar for a badge
Mash or get twisted
Dem gwan front like Rosa Parks but them marks is broke wristed
You got superiority complex based on old statistics, now listen
Respect due to the pioneers but what your borough did in 83' is ancient history brah'
So why these nikkas actin' like since they live in the state
That rap originates
They automatically, all time greats?
It takes classic material to make phat shyt
Not proof of New York residence and an accent" - Ras Kass getting at Q-Tip
That is some disrespectful shyt
