[Blueprint]
My favorite things include hip-hop crowds that ain`t biased
Seein heads participate in real rhyme cyphers
Open mics with nobody spittin a written
Original MC`s that love being different
[Illogic]
My favorite things include, open minds to open mics
and when I get open from rhymes that strike
Creativity`s a plus, plus an MC that can crush without a cuss
and it`s nice when a DOPE chick bust
[Blueprint]
My favorite is b-girls that pop and lock
They`re able to rock the spot, passers by that stop and jock
Cats that come to a hip-hop spot
without feelin the need to cop a glock and lick shots
[Illogic]
When a true MC spits raps composed of delicate prose on tracks
and when it`s felt by the masses
Platinum respect lackin blunt ashes
Battle clashes from the top to drop any approachin amateur
When a challenger`s up to caliber
[Blueprint]
MC`s that shine without boastin
MC`s that rhyme with the motion
Elevation without the high-postin
MC`s that never lose touch and do they own street promotion
[Illogic]
When an MC`s spirituality is the point focal
Minds bi-coastal, expandin beyond the local
And when I`m chillin with the pen and pad, fillin the lab with vocals
of melodic tunes that, reak of the underground perfume
[Blueprint]
When somebody I don`t know gives me compliments
Seeing humbleness replace overconfidence
Hearin MC`s that rap about the consequence
instead of glorifyin a lifestyle that lacks any type of common sense
[Illogic]
The lack of wack rhyme writin, and rhyme bitin
The ignitin of flames that fuel innovation
Tappin into the realm of concentration
to where the listener feels he`s hopped dimension
Lyrics to make aliens stop and listen
[Blueprint]
The absence of yellin on my mixtapes
Any additional loops in my milk crates
Record shops where I cop all my beat breaks
Recordin every one of my verses on the very first take
[Illogic]
When the loop speed doesn`t exceed 90
And to catch a line an MC must rewind me
To know my mom`s behind me
That I make this my art, my culture, my release
My outlet by means through which I reveal the beast
[Blueprint]
When my EPS doesn`t overheat
Rebootin and not lose an entire beat
When somebody wanna diss or underrate me
I know this sounds strange, but it motivates me
[Illogic]
Stereo-stereotypes crushed, the shatter of grey matter
Clutch the mic `til it rust
When an +Unforeseen+ kid bust
In wild styles to thrust thoughts like rapids to rush
[**both**]
These are a few of our favorite things in hip-hop
And there`s a lot more where those came from, don`t play dumb
You know they`re some of yours too
And if not, jot some, serve `em, and do your best to preserve `em
Our favorite things in hip-hop
And there`s a lot more where those came from, don`t play dumb
You know they`re some of yours too
And if not, jot some, serve `em, and do your best to preserve `em
