[12characters]

just go listen to ''Failure'' by Lupe fiasco
/thread.

this but u would have to like quote like the full verse since he strings metaphors and themes throughout n shit

that reverse archaeologist line on the cool tho

I'll acapella the whole left side of your chest - joe budden

Even the part right before it was dope

Ride or die I do both, nigga
Ride to the death

Esoteric- "Make you rely on M-16's like D12 does"

I don't get it...

Eminem's 16s. D12 relies on Eminem's verses.

Heltah Skeltah - "Fuck Batman and Robin, I'm robbin' niggas with a bat, man!"

[Eedee]

^ That was pretty fucking hilarious.

"And don't worry 'bout that Detox album
It's coming, we gon' make Dre do it"-Eminem

Losin' battles to wack rappers cause I’m always too blunted
Walkin’ up in the cypher smokin’, talkin’ about “Who want it?”

I think this line from Weed Lacer is hilarious . Puts a great image in my head of Em high as fuck, losing a battle. Then coming back trying to initiate a battle when people are trying to cypher.

I think Em's line on "Remember Me" was pretty fuckin' dope:

"So I promised the fuckin' critics I wouldn't say fuckin' for six minutes"

Remember the thread talking about how Em literally doesn't say the word "fuckin'" for 6 minutes on his album starting from that point? He says variations of the word but not that word.

Pretty funny / weird.

never thaought about that! Will check it up. Cool easter egg

"I drank Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns in hell" - Nas

"Somethin somethin somethin, somethin I get weeded
My daughter scribbled over that rhyme, I couldn't read it" -

Can we have a rule that you're not allowed to talk about Eminem outside of the Eminem section

Jesus died at age 33, there's 33 shots
From twin Glocks there's sixteen apiece, that's 32
Which means one of my guns was holding 17
27 hit your crew. 6 went into you

Not trying to discredit your taste but this is one of the most overrated and overpraised lines in Hip Hop.
1 bullet for each year Jesus lived? Why? Because Nas considered himself God's son? Why the 27+6 combination and not 25+8? Pretty vague detailing tbh. Not to mention how desperately pompous and complicated he made the whole thing sound. Nas is one my favorites but I never saw where all the praise for this line was coming from.
Then there is the theory of Nas starting his career at 17, releasing this song at 27 and the 6 years left in him before he retired ("died") in 2006 with "Hip Hop is dead" but that is kind of a reach and hardly anyone points it out while worshipping the line.

"I'm not a businessman, I'm a business...man!"

Probably my favorite Jay line of all time.

Mind educating this newbie, homie? And sure, but I'd like to know what half man half amazing Nas was implying before I kill myself.
