Well then what's the best rap lyric?

Max is wondering what the worst rap lyric of all time is. I guess it just follows to ask what the best rap lyric of all time is. There are lots of great ones, here's a few. Pardon the profanity in some of them:

"Niggas I leave 'em, awestruck. Bitches, all fucked.
Your single 99 cents, mines was 4 bucks."
Jay Z - Imaginary Playas

"Take 7 MCs put 'em up in a line.
Take 7 more brothas who think they can rhyme.
Well it'll take 7 more before I go for mine.
And that's 21 MCs ate up at the same time"
Rakim - My Melody

"Straight up honey really I'm askin
Most of these niggas think they be mackin' but they be actin'
Who they attractin' with that line, "What's your name what's your sign"
Soon as he buy that wine I just creep up from behind
And ask what your interests are, who you be with
Things to make you smile, what numbers to dial
You gon' be here for a while, I'm gon' go call my crew
You go call your crew
We can rendezvous at the bar around two."
Notorious BIG - Big Poppa

Really all of "Stan" by Eminem could go here, but I think the best line is:
"Dear Mister-I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans,
this'll be the last package I ever send your ass.
It's been six months and still no word - I don't deserve it.
I know you got my last two letters;
I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect"

"Excuse me, would you take my order I have to go
Shashawna's got a real job, dag don't you know!
Oh yeah, Now I recognize
The real real bitty with the fake fake eyes."
De La Soul - Bitties in the BK Lounge

"Got concrete rhymes been rappin' for ten years and
Even when I'm braggin' I'm bein' sincere"
and
"Never retire or put my mike on the shelf.
The baddest rapper in the history of rap itself.
Not bitter or mad just provin' I'm bad.
You want a hit give me a hour plus a pen and a pad."
LL Cool J - I'm Bad

"I want a girl with extensions in her hair,
bamboo earrings, at least two pair,
a Fendi bag, and a bad attitude.
That's all I need to get me in a good mood."
LL Cool J - Around The Way Girl

"It ain't hard to tell, I kick the skill like Shaquille holds a pill.
Vocabulary spills I'm Ill
plus Matic. I freak beats slam it like Iron Shiek
Jam like a tech with correct techniques.
So analyze me, surprise me, but can't magmatize me.
Scannin while you're plannin ways to sabatoge me.
I leave em froze like her-on in your nose.
Nas'll rock well, it ain't hard to tell."
Nas - It ain't hard to tell.

"Drop that, and now you want me to rap and give?
Say somethin' positive? Well positive ain't where I lived.
I lived right around a corner from west hell
Two blocks from south shit, and once in a jail cell"
Naughty by Nature - Everything's Gonna Be Alright

"Fallin' back on that ass with a hellified gangsta lean.
Gettin' funky on the mic like an old batch of collard greens.
It's the capital S oh yes, so fresh N double O P
D O double G Y, D O double G, ya see."
Snoop Dogg - Nuthin' But a G Thang.

"Called up the homies and I'm askin y'all
Which court, are y'all playin basketball?
Get me on the court and I'm trouble
Last week fucked around and got a triple double
Freaking brothers everyway like M.J.
I can't believe, today was a good day"
and
"Even saw the lights of the Goodyear Blimp
And it read, "Ice Cube's a pimp."
Drunk as hell but no throwing up
Half way home and my pager still blowing up
Today I didn't even have to use my A.K.
I got to say it was a good day."
Ice Cube - It was a Good Day

There are a ton more. Everyone has to leave at least one in the comments. Don't front.

I ain't no joke /
I use to let the mic smoke /
Now I slam it when I'm done and make sure it's broke /
When I'm gone, /
no on gets on, /
cause I won't let /
nobody press up, /
and mess up, /
the scene I set

When I date back I recall a man off the family tree/

My right hand poppa doc I see/

Took me from a boy to a man so I
always had a father/

When my biological didn’t bother

This lyric isn't great but for some nostalgic reason has always had a special place in my heart:

Now understand this my nigga Dre can't be touched /
Luke's bendin over, so Luke's gettin fucked, busta

- Dre and Snoop, Fuck with Dre Day

Also, just about the whole song "Hoes We Knows" from Black Sheep.

This off the top of my head.
 
I asked her her name,
She said 'blah blah blah.'
She had 9/10 pants
And a very big bra.

I smoke more blunts than a little bit...

I bring the element h with the 2
So ya owe me what’s coming when I’m raining on your new parade
It’s just mind over matter
And what matters is
That the mind isn’t guided by the punished shade
I keep the walking on the right side
But I won’t judge the next who handles walking on the wrong
Cuz that’s how he wants to be
No difference, see
I wanna be like the name of this song I am

De La Soul "I Am I Be"
 
I'm the King of Rock, there is none higher
Sucka MCs should call me sire

Yeah, bitch.
 
The world is kinda cold, and the rhythm is my blanket /
Wrap yourself up in it, if you love it, then you'll thank it

- ATCQ, "Verses from the Abstract"
 
I don't chase 'em, I replace 'em /
And if I'm caressin 'em, I'm undressin 'em

- Notorious BIG, "One More Chance"


I've been sinnin since you were playin with Barbie and Ken, and /
You can't change a playa's game in the 9th innin'

- Jay-Z, "Ain't No Nigga"
