Unexpected disasters

Bastards testing the master

Blessing the masses with paragraphs that will blast ya to smithereens

The guillotine

That fell from the mezzanine

Just landed but started falling back in 1917

By whatever means, I'm a sever spleens

While I perfectly describe a thousand murders that I never seen

Your flow is comical mine is astronomical

Watch the phenomenal writer blow holes thru your abdominal

Then I'll plummet thru the sky like a loud comet

Lyrics make the sun bead thoughts that make a cloud vomit

Snitches lay next to shotgun shells

Once he dead man I promise you he not gon tell

For the hell I spiked the kool-aid with scorpion venom

If some alien's attacks don't run to me for help I probably sent 'em

To take me out you gonna need a few more hundred men

One thousand is my ranking on a scale from one to ten

I leave ya staff guessing in the lab stressing

Paragraph blessing here's a math lesson

Action, when I take your soul from you that's subtraction

When I split you in two halves then you a fraction

Fast or slow its best ya know not to test the flow, its [K-Rino]

I'm colder than a homeless Eskimo

I'm a potential mental patient

A science fictional manifestation of another mans imagination (ugh)

Hmm. This is unusual

The process has been successfully completed; however

he seems To have more brain power than we anticipated

This monitor indicates that we can [otentially extract one more

which will double the amount of skill we are trying to extract

I'm about to attempt go into his mind and gather one more. Go

[K-Rino]

My raps will shatter anatomical compositions to shrapnel

Twist you up horizontally, vertically, and diagonal

I'm the scary one, paragraph killer copied by everyone

Rappers mangled so bad it turned vultures to vegetarians

I'm laced with flows so sharp each word places

Five slashes like a blade that made faces look like K-Swiss

I flame throw, you maintain the same flow

In cloud battles I make colored blood stains drip out of the rainbow

My life get to the point where it don't matter what you spice with

I'm immune to stab wounds he kept jugging me till the knife quit

I was foreseen by an Ethiopian queen

Not in the past but in the future 3017

I'm a live threat that survived seven hundred twenty five threats

You witnessing a prelude the real me hasn't arrived yet (ugh uh)

My rough courses are taught by unseen forces

In a cold cave with a witch, two leprechauns, and a sorceress

I transcend, concentrate ya levels no man been standing

With a cello on my chin playing mentally with my hands in

When he slept all you heard was mad screams

Cuz he was dreaming that he kept waking up from bad dreams

And each dream contained a hundred more dreams with different scenes

Prolonging paralysis with multiplied recurring themes

And I do it smooth

My epilogues making the music move

Twist your brain up with my hand and mash it back up like a Rubix Cube

Historical my eloquence is categorical

Travel thru portals the immortal metaphorical oracle

Made provisions to purchase ammunition and construct criticism

And slaughter kitchens where I mass produce apparitions

[Hook]

Rhymes designed to murder ya lines from the mind murderer

Time for blind massacre words be chasing after ya

I'm astronomical (I'm astronomical)

I can't breathe. This wasn't supposed to happen

He somehow reversed the effects of the procedure

Ha ha ha ha ha ha (*K-Rino laughing*)

KRS-ONE : "The MC"

Who am I? The MC, la-di da-di

I don't wear Versace, I wear DJ's out quickly at the party

Who am I? If you're like me hip hop is in your body

Who am I? THE MC!

When the jam is slow and you need a proceeder

Who am I? THE MC!

When you need a lyrical leader wit oratorical triple features

Who am I? THE MC!

When you need to rock your 3000-seat arena, best believe, uh

Who am I? THE MC!

When you need to get the word on the street wit demeanor

Who am I? THE MC!

I beg thee, let me splurt rhymes, I have plenty

Who am I? THE MC! Lord have mercy

I hit sudden like Hersey

always New like Jersey, stay thirsty

Who am I? THE MC!

Showin my authority, superiority

an artistic minority, now you startin me

Cuz party philosophy can only be carried out by

Who am I? THE MC!

No doubt, predicting far ahead what will set the party off immensely

with plenty of who? THE MC!

Trained at Rooftop, Red Zone, Roxy and Bentley's

Who am I? THE MC!

Gently move crowds with harmonious rhythm

Cuz the lyrics we give em they miss em

Who am I? THE MC! again, THE MC!

Her infinite power helps, oppressed people sent me to tell you

if you truly study lyrical flows and stay on your toes you will be

Who am I? THE MC!

and as an MC you will study verbal magic

but watch what you say cuz you'll attract it

control your subconscious magnet from pullin in havoc

Who am I? The MC!

Non-stoppin MC, hip hoppin MC

Verbal rockin, head knockin, quick droppin MC

I laugh cuz I mastered the craft MC

In sound clash I'm the first and last MC

It's sort of like Jim Carrey throwin that Mask to me

I black out and wake up to catastrophe

3 MC's dead from the sound blowin out massively, wow!

Who am I? The MC!

Untouchable, can't be caught off guard with fast tracks or slow tracks

Ass cracks get waxed to the max, MC's pack raps for all tracks

Indigenous cultures, Asians, Whites and Blacks

never missed it the linguistic of

Who am I? THE MC!

Meta-lyrical poetic mystic MC

Hearin the voice of an ancient spirit MC

Premeditated worder

Killin negative concepts out the mind of the observer MC

You deserve a break from counterfeits, frauds and fakes

claimin to be an MC for heaven sakes

Well, this MC done raised the stakes

under the stress from KRS

contracts and mental gats are bound to break

Who am I? THE MC! again the MC!

Conduct yourselves properly MC...

Andre 3000- Atliens(sick ass verse.. gotta be underrated)

2Pac- Blasphemy(2nd verse... gotta listen to the words)

Big Pun- ..... pick a damn song lol.. dude was crazy lyrically

But just to promote myself(not that niggas give a fuck..... but maybe somebody will)

True God- Behold

I'm thinking to the days I was a lost child in memory/

Before I spoke the truth about the Rothschilds and Kennedys/

now I'm fighting demons with an aziatic sword/

speak the truth until they put me in a psychiatric ward/

speak of mechanisms/ it's like the game is truly trapped, struck with nepotism/

and full of Satan, here's the exorcism/

standing ovation for the king/

Elation as the crowd cheers God's very creation in the wings/

I don't want Lyricism only

I want an Artist that makes Song's about topics i relate to that are deep and heart felt but Lyrical too



Jay Z to me just put's words together and say's nothing apart from materalism and drug dealing with no emotion, story telling or substance


But Lupe is overrated

Well put.............................

This is almost a pointless topic because everyone is gonna have different opinions and there's not really a right or wrong answer. But then again I guess that applies to most of the topics on this site. I don't know though, as soon as I type a reply to this I know I'll think of something else. But off the dome, I'd have to say UGK's "Murder" off of Ridin Dirty. The way Bun and Pimp go back and forth, building and picking up speed with each verse is classic. I've heard that they supposedly freestyled that track in one take (?). Regardless it's definatley a great lyrical display.

Yeah I can agree on that Murder shit...They both killed that. But Bun B also killed that "Stick Em Up" shit on Luda's album too. But also I think Canibus's verse on Beasts of the East was nuts.
