It's hard for me to pick a favorite song, but favorite verse?

It's between Threesixfive or his last verse on stimulate.

The former is straight up rap shyt that's easily one of my favorite verses of ANY rapper.


So when I grab a pencil and squeeze it between fingers
I'm not a rapper, I'm a demon who speaks english
Freak genius, too extreme for the weak and squeamish
Burn you alive while you screaming to be extinguished

:damn:

The latter is more so an example of just how poetic he can be aside from just being a great rhymer. It sums up who he is as an artist perfectly, the sentiment is something I contemplate on often. One of my favorite songs by him.


Can't you see I'm only here to entertain?
I gotta be the one to go against the grain
Cuz man I see it, feel it, live it but it's inhumane
For me to see you be influenced and pretend you ain't
But they don't understand that I been through pain
If you get to know me, I can be a friend you gain
But you can't just stand there and try to judge
It hurts, but your jealousy prolly tears you up inside as much

Hard to pick the best but
Me and Marcus Allen went over to see Nicole
When we heard a knock at the door, must have been Ron Gold'
Jumped behind the door, put the orgy on hold
Killed em both and smeared blood in a white Bronco (we did it!)
My mind won't work if my spine don't jerk
I slapped Garth Brooks out of his Rhinestone shirt
I'm not a player just a ill rhyme sayer
That'll spray an Aerosol can up at the ozone layer (psssssssh)
My rap style's warped, I'm runnin out the morgue
witcha dead grandmother's corpse to throw it on your porch
Jumped in a Chickenhawk cartoon wit a cape on
And beat up Foghorn Leghorn with an acorn
I'm bout as normal as Norman Bates, with deformative traits
A premature birth that was four minutes late
Mother.. are you there? I love you
I never meant to hit you over the head with that shovel
Will someone explain to my brain that I just severed
a main vein with a chainsaw and I'm in pain?
I take a breather and sighed; either I'm high, or I'm nuts
Cause if you ain't tiltin this room, neither am I
So when you see your mom with a thermometer shoved in her ass
Then it probably is obvious I got it on with her
Cause when I drop this solo shyt it's over with
I bought Cage's tape, opened it, and dubbed over it

And there's the whole Kim track. Subject matter might be :huhldup: but the lyricism is A1

"I'm back" the delivery and cadence is a perfect marriage of production and rapping.
The content addresses his own white privilege,
Rap lyric Scapegoating, and just over all wicked shyt.
