Then you got no woman, and there ya are.
LOL
Young MC!
A romance, with no finance, is a damn nuisance!
Special Ed was also a hilarious MC. Especially the last verse here:

"Lemonade was a popular drink and it still is
I get more props in stunts than Bruce Willis."
"Take the money never have to run."
More lines that crack me up, in a later post. In the meantime...
One of the best starting lines ever was:
"I seen a rainbow, yesterday, but too many storms."
Left Eye, would be the one on the left. |
Lisa Left-Eye Lopez, RIP.
Thanks to Big Daddy Kane, Guru, Nas, KRS, Rakim, CL Smooth, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Mos Def and Talib Kweli, Black Thought, everyone in Wu-Tang, even Jay-Z, I think their music has had a positive effect on the world overall.
Rap goes much deeper than Tupac and Biggie, and is a topic worth exploring for my generation.
Beyond Rap, which a universe in itself, is Hip Hop Culture (global), which is another universe in a shared dimension. I denote the term "global" because there is another type of Hip Hop Culture (local), which varies and intricates regionally.
Hell, here's the whole verse from Lisa Left-Eye Lopez, she goes hard:
I seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms have come and gone
Leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
I pray all ten fade away
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
And like His promise is true
Only my faith can undo
The many chances I blew
To bring my life to anew
Clear blue and unconditional skies
Have dried the tears from my eyes
No more lonely cries
My only bleedin' hope
Is for the folk who can't cope
Wit such an endurin' pain
That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
Who's to blame
For tootin' caine in your own vein
What a shame
You shoot and aim for someone else's brain
You claim the insane
And name this day in time
For fallin' prey to crime
I say the system got you victim to your own mind
Dreams are hopeless aspirations
In hopes of comin' true
Believe in yourself
The rest is up to me and you
This song is etched in my childhood, and will be there always. Waterfalls yo.....
