This Ice-T line came into my head today:

"Sittin' in the crib/Straight video dubbin'/ FBI warning - don't mean nothin'"

it's like oooh Ice-T don't dub VHS tapes...next you'll rip the tags off your matress!!!

anyone think of any other lame-o "tough guy" rap lyrics?

M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Friday, 27 February 2004 23:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Most of Sir Mix-A-Lot's lyrics.

morris pavilion (samjeff), Friday, 27 February 2004 23:54 (twenty-two years ago)

but these are perhaps his most lame bad-ass lyrics:

"Dick's is the place where the cool hang out
The rich like to play and the Swass flaunt clout
Posse to the burger stand, so big we walk into [in twos?]
We gettin dirty looks from those other sucka fools."
-Sir Mix-A-Lot, My Posse's on Broadway.

Posse to the burger stand. Excellent.

And don't even bother asking what swass means.

Scott, Saturday, 28 February 2004 00:03 (twenty-two years ago)

oh man, I love Posse on Broadway...larry is the white guy/people think he's funny/ a real-estate inventor who makes alot of money"

M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Saturday, 28 February 2004 00:05 (twenty-two years ago)

well, that's what Dick's is. it's a burger stand in Seattle on Broadway.

Matos W.K. (M Matos), Saturday, 28 February 2004 00:06 (twenty-two years ago)

dude that Ice-T line is classic! I appreciate a rapper whose badass in unconventional ways. what track is that from?

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 28 February 2004 00:07 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, I think they showed it in the video. (But I remember that the video actually had a different remix beat that I didn't like as much as a kid)

anthony....I can't remember I think it's the first song of the Iceburg album...it honestly just popped into my head today for no reason...all my old cassettes are in the closet at my Mom's house so I don't have access to it to listen.

M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Saturday, 28 February 2004 00:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I remember this Fat Joe line from a mixtape once:

"Boy Georgin' it / Living the life of the fortunate/ I'll show you how warm my fuckin' coffee get"

but that's not so much lame-o badass as just wtf? wierd

M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Saturday, 28 February 2004 00:10 (twenty-two years ago)

X-post: man I hope its not the iceberg. I love that album and I'd hate to think I slept on that line.

post: no that Fat Joe line is lame-o badass. He's going to spill his coffee on you while "boy georgin'" it? That'll make the jealous ones envy!

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 28 February 2004 00:12 (twenty-two years ago)

"I'll tear an' rock a bitch / like Erin Brockovitch"

okay, I made that one up.

How about the Geto Boys line where Bushwick Bill brags about "robbing little kids for bags" of candy on Halloween (which, this year, fell on a weekend)?

Ben Boyer (Ben Boyer), Saturday, 28 February 2004 00:20 (twenty-two years ago)

So badass

Sym (shmuel), Saturday, 28 February 2004 00:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Yay Bushwick...the robbin' little kids line is classic...

here's another Bushwick classic (from the song Chucky where he pretends to be that psycho horror doll)

"Motherfuckers be worried 'cause I'm sick
Dead heads and frog legs
Mmm... cake mix!"

M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Saturday, 28 February 2004 00:25 (twenty-two years ago)

hahahaha, fuck yes

Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Saturday, 28 February 2004 00:27 (twenty-two years ago)

God, Bushwick's solo album "Phantom of the Rapra" is SOOOO classic. That intro, where he garbles his argument that rap is this generation's opera music, because of the rape and murder, is AMAZING.

Ben Boyer (Ben Boyer), Saturday, 28 February 2004 00:36 (twenty-two years ago)

How did LL Cool J's "Bad" lyrics go?

Jedmond (Jedmond), Saturday, 28 February 2004 01:01 (twenty-two years ago)

eazy e - "shinin the light in my face,/ and for what?/maybe it's because i kick so much butt,/i kick ass!"

it's also the best lyric ever

xk, Saturday, 28 February 2004 01:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, Dick's is a burger stand.

But that doesn''t take away from the hilarity of "Posse to the burger stand."

And I have never seen any swass people flaunting their clout there.

Scott, Saturday, 28 February 2004 01:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Jedmond is possibly be wanting to be reminded of the fact that the teenaged Cool James was so bad that he could, in point of fact, suck his own dick.

kit brash (kit brash), Saturday, 28 February 2004 05:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Re: that Ice T line-- that it is not hard to copy a video is kinda the point of it right? Something like:

"Call that shit a crime? Yo that shit's a joke. Hit record on my dope remote."

It's either from The Iceberg or O.G., cause I think those were the only Ice T things I ever had.

Hunter (Hunter), Saturday, 28 February 2004 06:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Aahhh, teenagers.

Jedmond (Jedmond), Saturday, 28 February 2004 13:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I like that he has to specify that his remote is - in fact - dope.

M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Saturday, 28 February 2004 17:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I remember "BACK IN THE DAY" (late 80s)
They closed down the Dick's parking lot on Broadway
CUZZA 2 MUCH SWASS
(special cums w/ special sauce, dick)

J J Sexy Dancer, Saturday, 28 February 2004 17:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I feel like doing a backflip every time I think of the dope remote line.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 28 February 2004 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm pretty sure I remember Method Man actually having a line like "back like Erin Brockovich/you know this means apocolypse"!!!!

Al (sitcom), Saturday, 28 February 2004 18:58 (twenty-two years ago)

*backflips* rap I love you

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 28 February 2004 19:06 (twenty-two years ago)

My favorite Sir Mix-A-Lot lyric is from "A Rapper's Reputation":

"So I say, 'Oogley-goo, oogley-doo-goo-doo'
[woman's voice:] 'What'd you say?'
I ain't tellin' you!
You see, the Mix game is laced with riddles!"

morris pavilion (samjeff), Sunday, 29 February 2004 00:58 (twenty-two years ago)

That is aweinspiring.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 29 February 2004 01:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Eazy-E, in trying to figure out why the cops give him so much crap: "Maybe that's because I kick so much butt"

(But points off for fixing it): "I kick aaaaass"

(But points back for humorous overcorrection): "or maybe 'cuz I blast/ on a stupid-ass nigga when I'm playing with the trigga of an uzi or an a-k"

Could that be why the cops are after you, Eazy? Because you kill people with illegal automatic weapons? Huh!

PenisJ, Sunday, 14 May 2006 05:10 (twenty years ago)

Jay-Z bragging "We don't stop for tolls/ We got EZ Pass" may not be badass, but it's pretty lame.

Boot Riley has a lot of tongue-in-cheek ones: "And let me state that I'm a hustla for real so you know I got the stolen bus pass."

ramon fernandez (ramon fernandez), Sunday, 14 May 2006 06:36 (twenty years ago)

I should take this opportunity to thank Scott CE for not sonning me like crazy for pointing out that Dick's is a burger stand, since he's a Seattle native and I only lived there for five years total.

Matos-Webster Dictionary (M Matos), Sunday, 14 May 2006 06:50 (twenty years ago)

'So I called Goldstein and Claire,
Them's my lawyers, walking up the stairs,
to the courtroom dressed in suits"
-more iambic tetrameter from Mix-A-Lot

Eazy (Eazy), Sunday, 14 May 2006 07:00 (twenty years ago)

This isn't exactly a lame "bad-ass" line so much as a lame "I'm rich" Puff Daddy line:

"Yeah livin the raw deal, three course meals
Spaghetti, fettucini, and veal"

Ok, you're so rich that you went to some red sauce Italian place in Jersey and ordered TWO pastas with your entree, you putz.

Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 12:49 (twenty years ago)

There's a Presidents Of The USA song that mentions Dick's too.

though it fails at being badass, it gets points for being hilarious

I don't think Justin Warfield really tries to be "bad-ass" on Bomb the Bass's "Bug Powder Dust", but I've always found this couplet funny:

Never been a fake and I'm never phony
I got more flavour than a packet of macaroni.

...since a packet of macaroni obviously has lots of flavour.

K-Fed to thread:

I shouldn't be sayin' keep
My damn name outcha mouth
But y'all keep increasin' my change ...
Go ahead and say whatcha wanna
I'm gonna sell about 2 mil
Uh, then I'm goner, uh
I know y'all wishin' you was in my position
Cause I keep gettin' into situations
That you wish you was in, cousin
I'm not your brother, I'm not your uncle, I'm Daddy do
Steppin' in this game and y'all ain't got a clue
My prediction is that y'all are gonna hate
On the style we create, straight 2008
But I know that you really can't wait
Because people always askin' me
When's the release date?
Well maybe, baby, you could wait and see
Until then all these Pavarottis followin' me
Gettin' anxious? Go take a peek
I'm starrin' in your magazines
Now every day and week
Back then, they call me K-fed
But you can call me Daddy instead
Back then, they call me K-fed
But you can call ...

House of Pain, Jump Around:
"I serve your ass like John McEnroe/ If your bitch step up I be smacking the ho"

Does anyone else remember the HOP album cut where he uses "Top of the Mornin' To Ya" as a sarcastic, bad-ass line?

Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Sunday, 21 May 2006 02:49 (twenty years ago)

Hell yeah I do, I play that at St. Patrick's Day parties. And I love that John McEnroe line, I don't care what anyone says. Anyone disagree, and I'll stir fry you in my wok.

Here's a good one that kinda falls apart if you think about it too much.

"Beating motherfuckers like Ike beat Tina"

You mean until they ditch you and their rep overshadows your own?

I think he means mercilessly and over a sustained period of time, but not marking the face so as to keep it somewhat sub rosa.

Sir Mix-a-Lot's most awesomely hilarious song:

My hooptie rollin', tailpipe draggin'
Heat don't work an' my girl keeps naggin'
Six-nine Buick, deuce keeps rollin'
One hubcap 'cause three got stolen
Bumper shook loose, chrome keeps scrapin'
Mis-matched tires, and my white walls flakin'
Hit mickey-d's, Maharaji starts to bug
He ate a quarter-pounder, threw the pickles on my rug
Runnin', movin' tabs expired
Girlies tryin' to dis 'n say my car looks tired
Hit my brakes, out slid skittles
Tinted back window with a bubble in the middle
Who's car is it? Posse won't say
We all play it off when you look our way
Rollin' four deep, tires smoke up the block
Gotta roll this bucket, 'cause my Benz is in the shop

My hooptie - my hooptie

Four door nightmare, trunk locks' stuck
Big dice on the mirror, grill like a truck
Lifters tickin', accelerator's stickin'
Somethin' on my left front wheel keeps clickin'
Picked up the girlies, now we're eight deep

Cars barely movin', but now we got heat
Made a left turn as I watched in fright
My ex-girlfriend shot out my headlight
She was standin', in the road, so I smashed her toes
Mashed my pedal, boom, down she goes
Law ain't lyin', long hairs flyin'
We flipped the skeez off, dumb girl starts cryin'
Baby called the cops, now I'm gettin' nervous
The cops see a beeper and the suckers might serve us
Hit a side street and what did we find?
Some young punk, droppin' me a flip off sign
Put the deuce in reverse, and started to curse
Another sucker on the south side about to get hurt
Homey got scared, so I got on
Yeah my group got paid, but my groups still strong
Posse moved north, headin for the CD
Ridin' real fast so the cops don't see me
Mis-matched tires got my boys uptight
Two Vogues on the left, Uniroyal on the right
Hooptie bouncin', runnin' on leaded
This is what I sport when you call me big-headed
I pot-hole crusher, red light rusher
Musher of a brother 'cause I'm plowin' over suckers

In a hooptie

It's a three-ton monster, econo-box stomper
Snatch your girly, if you don't I'll romp 'er
Dinosaur rush, lookin' like Shaft
Some get bold, but some get smashed
Cops say the car smokes, but I won't listen
It's a six-nine deuce, so the hell with emissions
Rollin' in Tacoma, I could get burned
(Sound of automatic gunfire) Betta make a u-turn
Spotted this freak with immense posterior
Tryin' to roll smooth through the Hilltop area
Brother start lettin' off, kickin' that racket
Thinkin' I'm a rock star, slingin' them packets
I ain't wit' dat, so I smooth eject
Hit I-5 with the dope cassette
Playin' that tough crew hardcore dope
The tape deck broke
Damn what's next, brothers in Goretex
Tryin' to find a spot where we could hunt for sex
Found a little club called the N-C-O
Military, competition. You know.
I ain't really fazed, 'cause I pop much game
Rolled up tough, 'cause I got much fame
"How ya doin' baby, my name is Mixalot"
"Mixalot got a Benz boy, quit smokin' that rock"
Ooooh, I got dissed. But it ain't no thing
Runnin' that game with the home made slang
Baby got ished, Bremelo gip.
Keep laughin' at the car and you might get clipped

By a hooptie

Runnin' outta gas, stuck in traffic
Far left lane, throwin' up much static
Input, output, carbeurator fulla soot
"Whatcha want me to do Mix?"
Push freak, push
Sputter, sputter rollin' over gutters
Cars dip low with hard core brothers
Tank on E, pulled into Arco
Cops on tip for Columbian cargo
We fit a stereotype, that's what he said
Big long car, four big black heads
Cops keep jockin', grabbin' like 'gators
'Bout stereotypes, I'm lookin' nuthin' like Noriega
Cop took my wallet, looked at my license
His partner said "Damn, they all look like Tyson"
Yes, I'm legit, so they gotta let me go
This bucket ain't rollin' in snow

It's my hooptie
