[Chorus: repeat 2X]
|
Who's the best emcees?
|
Ain't no best
|
Who's the best who's the best
|
Ain't no best
|
Who's the best emcees?
|
Ain't no best
|
top 5 dead or alive
|
Ain't no best
|
|
It started out with the legendary Kool Herc one of
|
the greats in 1980 Kurtis Blow hit us with The Breaks
|
from then it was on
|
two years later Melle Mel dropped the Message
|
round the same time I was born
|
grandmaster caz cold crushin it was evident
|
Rakim campaignin Eric B For President
|
straight out the Bronx came the one known as Kris
|
Boogie Down Productions rappers gettin dissed
|
Kane held the throne the streets knew it was his
|
ever since they heard him just rhymin with Biz
|
Slick Rick took us on Adventures with his bling
|
Kool Moe Dee told us that Knowledge Is King
|
meanwhile LL was rockin the bells
|
Chuck D and Ice T told the cops go to hell
|
G Rap was Kool RUN was the sire
|
Sucker MC's I never admire
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
10th grade I became a hiphop addict ass backwards
|
copped It Was Written and then Illmatic
|
some say Ready To Die was Biggie's best
|
but then again theres always Life After Death
|
way before Dame and Jay changed views and split
|
on the real 22 2's was my shit
|
just when you thought PAC only brought drama
|
he had joints like Keep Ya Head Up and Dear Mama
|
Pun did it his way just like Carlito
|
Big L murdered it on Stretch and Bobbito
|
my man B put me on to Havoc and P
|
Infamous will forever be a classic to me
|
ODBs soul has just entered the buildin
|
Puffy is good but Wu Tang is for the children
|
Scarface ya mind playin tricks just illusions
|
Pharoah Monch out to Organize the confusion
|
tryin to figure out this fly chick I discovered
|
at the same time Common said He Used to Love Her
|
Buckshot with his Camp Click laced up in boots
|
big up to Black Thought never forgot his Roots
|
keep some Dirty Rotten Scoundrel in my stereo
|
cant forget Bustas verse on Scenario
|
Keith Murray was a lyrical assassin
|
when Reggie grabbed the mic it was time for some aksion
|
party anthems Treach rocked without rehearsal
|
the Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal
|
Blackstar better yet Kweli and Mos
|
the in and out flow belongs to Jada and the Ghost
|
before every X verse you hear the dogs bark
|
OutKast changed the game just ask Rosa Parks
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
mic skills ain't got nothin to do with ya gender
|
Clef 's ill but L Boogie was my favorite member
|
out the Fugees the tightest to drop
|
Latifahs the Queen other chicks are Lyte as rock
|
before NWA's family feud
|
who kicked that gangsta shit like Eazy E and Cube
|
but still true lyricists smashin the cuts
|
up verbally like Ras Kass and Kurupt
|
e-40 Mac Dre holdin down the bay
|
still doin the thizz even though he passed away
|
rest in peace it ain't about west or east
|
coast beef the media can be a beast
|
overnight acts just wanna top the charts
|
no intentions to contribute to the art
|
I absolutely refuse to let it fall apart
|
The Emcee is crafty we here to make our mark
|
they wanna know
|
|
[Chorus]
