I said-a hip, hop, the hippie, the hippie To the hip hip hop-a you don’t stop the rock It to the bang-bang boogie, say up jump the boogie To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
Was that a test?
No what you hear is he’s rappin to the beat.

I’ve always thought this was a pretty good one:
real G’s move in silence like lasagna
I don’t get it. What is lasagna, here?
The “G” in “Lasagna” is silent
Sure, but what does lasagna have to do with being silent?
It’s a metaphor.
The “g” is silent in the pronunciation of lasagna.
This gives the meaning that “real gangsters” operate silently.
OH! Wow did I whoosh myself there. Thanks for the friendly clarification!
Except it’s not really, because it changes how the N is pronounced
Gotcha, so it’d be “real g’s are soft like lasagna”

You can’t just say “perchance”.

On Doomsday, ever since the womb ‘Til I’m back where my brother went, that’s what my tomb will say
Right above my government; Dumile. Either unmarked or engraved, hey, who’s to say?
-MF Doom, Doomsday
I really love the wordplay with his government name ‘Dumile’ having a double meaning of ‘Doom’ll lay’. There are a bunch of other MF Doom lyrics in contention for goat status, in my opinion.
“Lookie here, it’s just the way the cookie tear, prepare to get hurt and mangled like Kurt Angle, rookie year.” -Great Day
DOOMS lyrics are insane.
Rip
I never listen to him myself, but everything I hear of his lyrics are genius on another level, I’m unsure anybody else can really compete, at least not as consistently
fuckin magnets how do they work?

But more seriously, MF DOOM (RIP) is one of my favourite artists, but he’s been covered in a few comments already. But one of my favourites from him is:

I don’t know if it’s the best of all time, but I really enjoy this from Common ('Sixth Sense’):
I start thinking, how many souls hip-hop has affected
How many dead folks this art resurrected
How many nations this culture connected
Who am I to judge one’s perspective?
Though some of that shit y’all pop true it, I ain’t relating

Lil Wayne is a goddamn genius. That whole song, honestly.
