Canibus has some good ones but this is my fave:
Now if a bitch sucks yo' dick, for five dollars per square inchΒ
And gets forty dollars, includin' a five dollar tipΒ
How big was the dick she just sucked?Β
(Say what?)Β

I don't fraternize with the ranking file
Ever drop a gasp for a General such as myself
That's sabotage!
I don't know if it's the best of all time, but I really enjoy this from Common ('Sixth Senseβ):
I start thinking, how many souls hip-hop has affected
How many dead folks this art resurrected
How many nations this culture connected
Who am I to judge one's perspective?
Though some of that shit y'all pop true it, I ain't relating
If I don't like it, I don't like it, that don't mean that I'm hating
I'm a pimp by blood, not relation,
y'all still chase on, I'll replace on
If you don't recognize that truth and the one who spat it, gtfo this thread you poser ;)
And, perhaps, this lesser known
I rip rappers and take responsibility,
For makin' future hall of famers look third-rate,
Y'all are lost for words like,
Conversation on your worst first-date,
And raw beats creep through side streets,
Loose leaf notepads, that's where rhymes leak,
Punch-lines, man, don't even beg,
I got knee-slapping tracks, y'all cruisin' ya leg,
You a rhyme-writer, buddy? Man, that's a joke,
You ain't worthy of being my secretary,
Man, that's a quote
If you do recognize that, well, you're just as fucking goofy as me, which ain't much, but it's better than nothing. But it's a pretty fucking tight set of lyrics.
βI used to drive a dinger with the dents in, now itβs pearlescent, and the bonnet got the vents in.β - (Bonnet = hood of a car)
"Who's that peekin' in my window? Pow! Nobody now"
DΓ©jΓ vu abducting
Sticky psyche touching
So many sensory
Dripping dripping splashing splashing happening
Already
Now, now, Billy, not really
I made the change from a common thief
To up close and personal with Robin Leach
And I'm far from cheap, I smoke skunk with my peeps all day Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way
Ice cream scoopin', shittin' poopin', shittin', poopin'
But more seriously, MF DOOM (RIP) is one of my favourite artists, but he's been covered in a few comments already. But one of my favourites from him is:
Getting paid like a biker with the best crank
Spray it like a high-ranked sniper in the West Bank

Real Gs move in silence like lasagna.
"Why did one straw break the camel's back? Here's the secret β the million other straws underneath it. It's all mathematics." -- Yasiin Bey
Iβve always thought this was a pretty good one:
real G's move in silence like lasagna
I don't get it. What is lasagna, here?
The "G" in "Lasagna" is silent
Sure, but what does lasagna have to do with being silent?
Itβs a metaphor.
The βgβ is silent in the pronunciation of lasagna.
This gives the meaning that βreal gangstersβ operate silently.
OH! Wow did I whoosh myself there. Thanks for the friendly clarification!
m tryin' to explain, baby the best way I can
I melt in your mouth girl, not in your hands
Amazing reference game
I was riding with a friend who was playing some hip-hop back in early 2000s. This song was sexually explicit and had the line "bitch, eat my babies." As in telling the girl to swallow his load. I can never seem to find the song.
I just met this lil' bitch from Arcadia (oh-woah)
From the planet Nympho, eat my babies up, ooh
Her mothership got missions on my radius (oh-woah)
She captured me and left me in a state of awe, doom
Take me to your universe (yeah)
Take me to a time where everything reversed, ah, ooh
I just got this lil' bitch from Arcadia (oh-woah)
Intertwine ourselves until we facing our moon
Is this it? It's from the song "Arcadia" by the band MDMA.
Edit: hell it probably isn't it lol based on the time line. It's the only thing that pulled up when I searched online.
You are right. It's not it at all. Think 20 year old music, not music by 20 year olds.

One of my favorites from Oh Bo by Bo Burnham:
Pull it out, stick it in your mouth, and I bust in the back of ya
Swallow bitch, there's people starving in Africa
Picture this I'm a bag of dicks Put me to your lips I am sick I will punch a baby bear in his shit
The first time I crossed this track was with the video.
Masterpiece.
I just want the bread and baloney bundles to tuck away
I don't work for free, I am barely giving a fuck away
Like watching 1000 lemmings plummet just because the first one slipped
There's smoke on my iris, but I painted a sunny day on the insides of my eyelids.
"All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day and put the pieces back together my way."
This was the lyric that hooked me in '01.
"I take seven kids from columbine, stand'em all in line, add an ak-47 a revolver, a nine, a mac-11 and it'll solve a problem of mine and that's a whole school of bully's shot up all at one time."
So this lyric is notable, not just for being edgy, but also because it was a product of it's time. It was published during the height of tipper gore and hillary clinton trying to appease the "moral majority" by attempting to censor rap music which is called out in the album.
Ultimately the lyric is self-censored because while the artist could have gotten away with it, the label was playing it safe, even though nothing about the lyric would have tripped the moral panic alarm. After all the rapper was white referencing a white event.
