Deathmatch Counterpunch: Best Rap Lyrics

These aren't really good or meaningful, but they're fun to use in random conversation and I think they're powerful in their own simple eloquence.


5. Fat Joe feat. Lil Wayne - Make it Rain



Lil Wayne - I make it rain on them hos

This song was already amazing when I heard the "Make it Rain" chorus and then I heard the unedited version that blatantly objectifies and demeans hookers. They're hookers though so they'll get over it. We made it hail on this nasty ho when we started balling up our bills and pelting her in the face with them after she gripped up Hooks at Midge's birthday party. (Cell phone pics are sadly missing, although I was seriously considering uploading them to the company server)


4. Black Rob - Whoa



Black Rob - Grenade through your window bitch, like whoa!

This song is a rap insitution. It's so utterly bad and corny that you can't help but love it. You hear all kinds of rappers boasting about which caliber pistol they would use to vanquish their adversaries, but a grenade? Yes Black Rob, I would be quite alarmed if a grenade came through my window, but this just sounds ridiculous. You jumping two stories down onto a flat bed trailer rigged with pyrotechnics in sync to the break beat in the video isn't helping either.


3. Trick Daddy - 'Dro in the wind



Trick Daddy - You gotsta understand, Trick love da kids

I don't know if it's because Trick is speaking in the third person or because of the profound validity of the statement, but this is a classic. Trick Daddy truly does care about the children and isn't that what really matters after all?


2. Lil' Jon and the Eastside Boyz - Throw it Up (remix)



Pastor Troy - Wood grain in the mother fucking dualie truck

This is another good one to quote whenever you see a dualie truck because it's always totally plausible that the occupants are indeed rocking the wood grain interior. Plus, if you get the badass Requiem for a Dream-sampled remix, you get to hear another one of Young Buck's gems:

Home of the dirty dirty, stop and they still spinnin
They tried to hit me like 50, but bitch I'm still livin


1. G-Unit - Stunt 101



Young Buck - The ice in my teeth keep the Crystal cold

This is my favorite rap lyric of all time to quote because of a powerful index of reasons why these words should never come out of my mouth. Namely the fact that I'm a dorky white kid that can't afford Crystal nor the diamonds with which to keep it chilled.

perhaps the main reason that you shouldn't quote this lyric is because it is spelled cristal not crystal.
