best line in "kick in the door"

On ya mark, get set, when I spark, ya wet/Look how dark it get, when you're marked for death

Went from ten G's for blow to thirty G's a show/to orgies with hoes I never seen befo'

jeeeeeeeeeesus
get off the notorious
peeeeeeeeenis

a bunch are classic first bars but the second bars are kinda generic

Tote steel like Bronson, "Vigilante"/You wanna get on son, you need to ask me

I drop unexpectedly like bird shit/You herbs get, stuck quickly for royalties and show money

those suck cause u cant break up lines v. well w biggie, he doesnt really rhyme in couplets

i mean not that many rappers do anymore really--but those 'first bars' should go with the lines preceding them--

Sold more powder than Johnson and Johnson
Tote steel like Bronson
"Vigilante"

Lyrically, I'm worshipped,
don't front the word sick
You cursed it
but rehearsed it
I drop unexpectedly like bird shit
You herbs get
stuck quickly for royalties and show money

of course youre going to get conceptually dud couplets when you try and break up a biggie song into 24 rhymed lines or whatever, dude is maybe the most lyrically/rhythmically complex rapper ever

So, Jesus, get off the Notorious/penis, before I squeeze and bust

gay porn zing

and max otm

its been a while

impossible poll

peeeeeeeeeenusss

Fuck that, why try, throw bleach in your eye/Now ya braille in it, stash that light shit, or scalin it

They light weight, fragilly, my nine milly/make the white shake, thats why my money never funny

^these are both amazing

couplet ftw challops, but i might like the writing/delivery of "I drop unexpectedly like bird shit" enough to go with that over internal rhyme x4

u cant break up lines v. well w biggie

otm; dom didn't, at least

a bunch are classic first bars but the second bars are kinda generic

also otm; there's great stuff of course, and then there's stuff that sounds like the embarrassing bits you would try to make fit in your own lyrics and shit, for real

^these are both amazing

Ghostface and Raekwon then created a famous mixtape that was released on a purple cassette which is what Nas is referring to.

^^ pretty sure the 'purple tape' is just cuban linx

^ yes

^ def as eff

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Your reign on the top was short like leprechauns/As I crush so-called willies, thugs, and rapper-dons

though the "braillin it" line is brilliant.

feel kinda off goin for the first line but your reign on top was short like leprachauns

Bronson seconded. i was going to suggest a "Gimme The Loot" poll, but if anything other than "Word to mother, I'm dangerous/Crazier than a bag of fuckin angel dust" won, i might lose all faith in humanity.

some of these lines are brilliant simply because of the way biggie delivers them. his phrasing is so amazing.

I was gonna say, "I vote for a 'warning' poll." but now that I think about it, that song is even more about phrasing/delivery than this one.

there's gonna be a lot of slow singin' and flower bringin' if my burglar alarm starts ringin'...

^ possibly my favorite biggie line

Ten Crack Commandments poll was on Noize right?

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
