THE HIP-HOP SHOW





[ Hosted by DJ ?!!?!!!? ]

This Week's Quotables

We went from picking cotton/ To chain gang line choppin/
To Be-Boppin/ To Hip-Hoppin/
Blues people got the blue chip stock option/
Invisible man got the whole world watching/

Mos Def - "Hip Hop" (1999)

---------------------------------------

Rolling Stones of the rap game/ Not braggin'/
Lips bigger than Jagger/ Not saggin/
Spell it backwards/ I'ma leave it at that/
That ain't got nothing to do with rap!/

Chuck D (Public Enemy)  - "Harder  Than You Think" (2007)

---------------------------------------

They say the city makes a dark impression/
The youth just lost and they want direction/
But they don't get the police, they get the protection/
And walk around with heat like Charlton Heston/

Black Thought (The Roots) - "In The Music" (2006)

---------------------------------------

I am the poetical pastor/
Slave to a label but I own my masters/

Pharoahe Monch - "Desire" (2006)

---------------------------------------

I got worldwide family all over the earth/
And I worry 'bout 'em all for whatever it's worth/
From the birth to the hearse, the streets, the guns burst/
Words I disperse are here to free minds/
And if mine are needy I need to feed mine/

Rakaa Iriscience (Dilated Peoples) - "Worst Comes To Worst" (2002)

---------------------------------------

I'm 2na-Fish from U-N-I-T-Y /
Do or die / Anti-illumaniti/
Why do the liquid from my vocals/
Make the ghetto start swimming/
Forever winning I'm in it
Like Medolark Lemon/

Chali 2na (Jurassic 5) - "Concrete Schoolyard" (1998)
