    What are some of your favourites?

    I'll start it off:
    A Tribe Called Quest - Steve Biko

    Linden Boulevard reprezent reprezent-zent
    A Tribe Called Quest represzent reprezent
    When the mic is in my hand I'm never hesitant
    My favourite jam back in the day was Eric B for President

    A great opening rhyme to a great opening song to a great album.

    You lack the minerals and vitamins, irons and the niacin
    Fuck who that I offend, rappers sit back I'm bout to begin
    Bout foul talk you sqwak, never even walked the walk
    More less destined to get tested, never been arrested
    My album will manifest many things that I saw did or heard about
    Or told first hand, never word of mouth

    I got you stuck off the realness, we be the infamous

    Straight outta Compton, crazy mothafucka named Ice Cube

    1, 2, 3 and to the 4, Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr Dre is at the door

    Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice

    Dial the 7 digits, call up Bridgette, her man’s a midget

    I don’t recall, ever graduating at all
    Sometimes I feel I’m just a disappointment to ya’ll

    Look at my window, some niggas triple-teamin'
    A nigga who ain't from round the way
    An asswhhippin's the price you gotta pay
    That's the way it's gotta be
    If I was round yo way, ya'll gonna front on me
    Talking 'bout goin' to a bitch's crib
    Now you're fucked up & stuck with broken ribs"

    I am not s huge fan. I have three of their LPs from around '96-'00. I liked their songs that were funny. The same reason I listened to Geto Boyz & The Poison Clan.
