I'm sorry, I could not control myself. So, Vibe, the Source, XXL, one of those mags have a "Hip Hop Quotable" section. I am quite fond of that section. Basically the sections just gives props to any rapper with a hot verse. The "hotness" usually consist of lyrics, word play, but I also like to credit the flow as well. So in lieu of me biting from one of these mags, I'm doing "*Hip Hop Excerpts". This first excerpt is taken from the very song, verse and bar that made me start paying lyrical attention to rap in the first place. Give it up for MA$E's "Tell Me What You Want"
*In bold will be the hot line and in italics will be the mad crazy flow!
Now the more you treat me royal I adore you
That's why I don't mind doing these things for you
You did things for me I wouldn't believe you did
That's why I always want to keep you here
In a year or two I could see you with my kids
Girl, you make a thug want to get a legal gig
It's only right we spend our lonely nights
Gettin crazy biz till we awake the kids
Can't get too loud got respect for you honey
But keep it all real you come second to my money
Can you be my ghetto love prophecy?
Everybody love you girl not just me
And I know you really care a lot for me
I want to see you happy even if it's not with me
