Life's a wheel of fortune and it's my chance to spin it.
2PacHad a dream I was king, I woke up, still king
This rap game's nipple is mine for the milking
'til nobody else even f-cking feels me, 'til it kills me
I swear to God, I'll be the f-cking illest in this music
There is or there ever will be, disagree?
Now this shit's about to kick off, this party looks wack
Let's take it back to straight hip-hop and start it from scratch
They say music can alter moods and talk to you
Well, can it load a gun for you and c-ck it too?
If it can, then the next time you assault a dude
Just tell the judge that it was my fault, and I'll get sued!
Shout out to everyone makin' my beats, you helpin' me preach
This music's the only thing keepin' the peace when I'm fallin' to pieces
If you stay in one place, you can only rap about one thing because that's all you know.
Lloyd BanksWell, hip-hop is what makes the world go around.
Snoop DoggHip Hop offers new ways of seeing and understanding what it means to be black at this pivotal time in history.
Todd BoydRap music's been around for too long now to be inspirational. The words are, but the music isn't.
Alexander McQueenAnd I'm tired of all of this high school 'He's cool, he's not' rap shit
Can a single one of you motherfuckers even rap? Shit
No, this ain't a diss to the game, this a gas to the flame
Nowadays, everybody sound the same, shit's lame
Hip-Hop isn't just music, it is also a spiritual movement of the blacks! You can't just call Hip-Hop a trend.
Lauryn HillRapping to prove nothing, just writing to say something
Cause I wasn’t the only one who wasn’t rushing to saying nothing
This doesn’t mean I lost my dream
It’s just right now I got a really crazy mind to clean
What I always say is that Hip-Hop is not just a mirror of what is. It should also be a reflection of what can be.
Barack ObamaThe thing about hip-hop today is it's smart, it's insightful. The way they can communicate a complex message in a very short space is remarkable.
