| Jay-Z – Dirt Off Your Shoulder Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| The verve remix is sick. Flows together really well. There's a lot of remix/mash ups that use Jay-Z lyrics over beats that aren't directley made for rap. With Jay brings to the mic they're really refreshing. We all know about the linkin park album, along with the White Album that was noted earlier. Another one to check out would be "American Wonder" which uses the lyrics off of American Gangster over beats made by 9th Wonder. That's good stuff. | |
| Jay-Z – Renegade Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| They came off each other well. How anyone can claim that any verse from this song is weak is beyond me. I mean...DO YOU FOOLS LISTEN TO MUSIC OR DO YOU JUST SKIM THROUGH IT? For real now. Em layed down some dynamic lyrics in this one. I know this song verbatum, and it still baffles my mind when I read the lyrics as opposed to hearing them. It's pretty phenomenal. One of the best rap songs ever made if you ask me. | |
| Nas – Heaven Lyrics | 17 years ago |

No replies here? This song is under rated. When Nas lays down a fast flow he doesn't neglect quality of lyrics like some/most rappers do. A lot of questions and incongruencies on religion are touched on and noted through out this track. The sound of the chorus to is similar to a gospel tone IMO. A quality track that often gets overlooked. |

| Nas – Undying Love Lyrics | 17 years ago |

If I had to pick one rapper to define as the best...I don't know. But I would probably have to pick Nas. His story telling ability is untouched. I like the way Justano described it in the first comment...beautifully miserable. That's a good point. One aspect of his storys that really stands out to me is his attention to detail all the way through. "Pacino life, G a roll, casino dice/ at the Mirage, Vegas strip, neon lights/ Gamblers, puffin cigars, couples and stars/ Spent the weekend, already miss New York and it's odd/ cause I'm the first to say it got too many hustlers who rob/" -Puts you right there in Vegas. Plus it shows that he's planning on coming home earlier then expected when mentioning that it's odd he misses NY. It really provides such a vivid picture, and allows you to put yourself there. Talk about getting lost in music...this is it. |
