witness...

I take 7 MC's put 'em in a line
And add 7 more brothers who think they can rhyme
Well, it'll take 7 more before I go for mine
Now that's 21 MC's ate up at the same time

numbnutz

Jay-Z Bring it on featuring Big Jaz & Sauce Money....

"Street knowledge amazin to scholars when we coin phrases for dollars"

Sums its genre up completely in one line imo.

...And "Straight up Nigga" by Ice -T just purely for the delivery and the imagery of the lyrics particularly...

"Nigga that's right fool look at me
Just the kinda nigga you'd like to hang from a tree
But all you KKK type grave diggers
Ease back fool cause I'm a trigger nigga"

powerful stuff back in '91

"I can snap rap pack click clack patter pat pat
Take that ass to the point you have to ask for your ass back"-Treach, Yoke the Joker

"Tell me, do you have a clue of what to do
Can you groove to this smooth tune, you must presume"-Guru, Form of Intellect

"Cause you can be quick, jump the candlestick, burn your back

Nas - Back When

For Vernon; 10th Street, 12th Street, Nightmare on Elm Street
Pimps creep, delve deep inside the editorials
Of the ghetto queens, kings, stories true
Who possesses the testicular fortitude
To blow away myths that's a hindrance to all of you

Phone - Let it be Known (Sean Price)

"Back in the day hoes used to say he's too proper
Now he's the main attraction like Mufasa
I ain't lying, but if you think that I ain't trying
To be the best you need to rewind this"

Pharoahe Monche - Simon Says

"New York City Gritty Committee pity the fool
That acts gritty in the midst of the calm, the witty"

Pharoahe Monche - Oh No
"Pharohe's flows blows shows like Afros"

Jimmy Iovine

Just thought of another two. Well I was listening to Buck 50 from Supreme Clientele and I heard them.

Redman - a genuine LOL line.

And your weed got more seeds than ODB

Ghostface - pretty unreal verbal dexterity.

Eminem - Emulate

I stimulate the brain,
mimic, emulate the sane,
cynic, keep on thinking it's a f*cking gimic when it ain't

TheBza

"Cause if I ever stuck it to any singer in showbiz
It'd be Jennifer Lopez, and Puffy you know this!
I'm sorry Puff, but I don't give a **** if this chick was my own mother
I still **** her with no rubber and cum inside her
And have a son and a new brother at the same time
And just say that it ain't mine, what's my name?" -Eminem

S28382

"You go busting your fist against a stone wall,
you're not using your brain. That's what the white man wants you to do.
Look at you! What makes you ashamed of being black?"

Great start to a great song.

Jason Todd

This Method Man line from 'The Turn' always makes me laugh without fail!

Honey's "bee" like Meth, I be like what?
They want some free cd's, I'm like "see these" nuts

mufcboy1999

There's a few gems on xzibits napalm album.

The greatest trick that devil ever put together
Was that self destruction is better than striving for perfection.

Forever a G ft wiz

Jimmy Iovine

Rakim - Classic

Timeless, so age don't count in the booth
When your flow stay submerged in the fountain of youth

BadCompany

A few sprung to mind;

Kweli's second verse on Blackstar's "Definition" gets me every time, the repetition of the "e" sound coupled with the delivery is fantastic.

Consider me the entity within the industry without a history
Of spitting the epitome of stupidity
Living my life, expressing my liberty, it gotta be done properly
My name is in the middle of equality

One of the best songs I've heard as far as one-liners are concerned is Big L and Jay-Z's "7 Minute Freestyle" start to finish, I still listen to it on a regular basis in spite of the fact that the audio quality of the track is very poor (on any copy I've found anyway). Winner for me has to be this;

Big L is the nigga you expect to catch wreck in any cassette deck
I'm so ahead of my time, my parents haven't met yet

A bit of a left-field choice finally, I've always really liked GZA's opening lines on Raekwon's "Guillotine Swordz" (certainly not his finest hour but I think it's just a great way of announcing his arrival on the track after great verses from Inspectah Deck, Ghost and Rae);

The nigga don't get mad, I got mad styles of my own
And it's shown when my hand grips the chrome microphone

Probably loads more but can't think at the minute!

"The smooth criminal on beat breaks
Never put me in your box if your **** eats tapes!"

"A two day stay, you may say I need the time alone to relax my dome, no phone, left the nine at home"

Illmatic is packed out with classic lines!

Chewabacca

Masta Killa's rap in Da Mystery Of Chessboxing.

"Homicide's illegal and death is the penalty
What justifies the homicide, when he dies?
In his own iniquity it's the
Master of the Mantis Rapture coming at you
We have an APB on an MC Killer
Looks like the work of a Master
Evidence indicates that's it's stature
Merciless like a terrorist hard to capture"

All the raps in that song really deliver, U Gods opening is a beast.

I'm seeing a couple things wrong with the way that I'm living
So come and walk with me I just need a second opinion
Introduce you to my friends I got to see if you notice
If they loyal or if they all got an ulterior motive : - Joe Budden 'WALK WITH ME'

Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite
You'll be alright
While I'm tryna catch z's at night
You think that it's an easy life?
**** that I'm sleeping with my heat tonight : - Kano 'SLEEP TIGHT'

My soul's been fed tonight
Everything that I choose
Still can't forget Grey Goose
Converse covered with mixer juice
And all my niggas rollin up in the booth
Who got me on another one
Someone please roll me another one
They tell me all good things must end
Well those mutha****as ain't have this friend : - Kid Cudi 'Marijuana'

You're beginin' to think women
are swimming in pink linen again in the sink
Then in a couple of minutes that bottle of Guinness is finished
You are now allowed to officially slap bitches
You have the right to remain violent and start wilin'
Start a fight with the same guy that was smart eyin' you
Get in your car, start it, and start drivin' : - Eminem 'Drug Ballad'

Mother****ers - say that I'm foolish I only talk about jewels (bling bling)
Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?
See I'm influenced by the ghetto you ruined
That same dude you gave nothin, I made somethin doin
what I do through and through and
I give you the news - with a twist it's just his ghetto point-of-view:- Jay Z 'Renegade'

Since I'm in a position to talk to these kids and they listen
I ain't no politician but I'll kick it with 'em a minute
Cause see they call me a menace; and if the shoe fits I'll wear it
But if it don't, then y'all'll swallow the truth grin and bear it
Now who's these king of these rude ludicrous lucrative lyrics
Who could inherit the title, put the youth in hysterics
usin his music to steer it sharin his views in his marriage
But there's a huge interference - they're sayin you shouldn't hear it
Maybe it's hatred I spew, maybe it's food for the spirit
Maybe it's beautiful music I made for you to just cherish
But I'm debated disputed hated and viewed in America
as a mother****in drug addict - like you didn't experiment? : - Eminem ' Renegade'


Eminem absolutely destroyed, raps best, on renegade...

Bet cha nobody knows who this is : -

Forbidden streets, forbidden nights, broken teeth, stupid fights...
Getting older, my voice is colder, my girl just given the ****ing cold shoulder,
Cant make ends meet or get on my feet....
Wrote on walls saying biggies smalls, please god let me prove them all, cause if you don't, i just might fall........

Scarface in "mind playin tricks on me"

At night I can't sleep, I toss and turn

Candle sticks in the dark, visions of bodies bein burned

Four walls just starin at a *****

I'm paranoid, sleepin with my finger on the trigger

My mother's always stressin I ain't livin right

But I ain't going out without a fight

See, everytime my eyes close

I start sweatin, and blood starts comin out my nose

It's somebody watchin the Ak'
But I don't know who it is, so I'm watchin my back

I can see him when I'm deep in the covers

When I awake I don't see the ************

He owns a black hat like I own

A black suit and a cane like my own

Some might say, "Take a chill, be "

But **** that ****! There's a ***** trying to kill me

I'm poppin in the clip when the wind blows

Every twenty seconds got me peepin out my window

Investigatin the joint for traps

Checkin my telephone for taps

I'm starin at the woman on the corner

It's ****ed up when your mind is playin tricks on ya

Yo, from the first to the last of it, delivery is passionate
The whole an' not the half of it, vocals an' not the math of it
Projectile that them blasted with, accurate assassin ****
Me an' Kweli close like Bethlehem an' Nazareth - Mos Def

I looked up today and didn't fall prey to none of that pistol play
But who is to say tomorrow they won't be blastin' this-a-way
I'm puffin' spliffs of hay, still upset about the drama here
At this time of year I'm wipin' away my dead homey momma's tears - Bun B

The game just isn't the same, it's changin
**** Dre's quittin, Jay'z quittin, now it's just gangstas just sayin the same ****
It's ancient, it's fakin
It's makin me so bored, I'mma just make a new language
Fubba yoU Cubba Kubba, Yubba Obubba Uba
Yubba can subbabick my dubbibbabick through a tooba - Eminem, still one of the craziest things I've ever heard

Biggie - One More Chance

When it comes to sex, I’m similar to the Thrilla in Manila
Honeys call me "Bigga the Condom Filler"
Whether it’s stiff tongue or stiff dick, Biggie squeeze it to make **** fit

Really, though, I got the cleanest, meanest penis
You never seen this stroke of genius

if I’m caressing 'em I’m undressing 'em

I'm no expert in Hip hop but my favourites are normally funny lines or lines that are delivered well.

ASAP Rocky - PMW. It's the way he says this rather than the actual meaning

My whip white but my top black
And my bitch white, but my cock black
Purple drink, got that

1Train - A$AP Rocky

Bitch pussy smell like a penguin
Wouldn't hit that shít with my worst enemy's penis

50 Cent - 21 Questions.

We only humans, girl, we make mistakes
To make it up I'll do whatever it take
I love you like a fat kid love cake
You know my style I'll do anything to make you smile

Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip - Thou Shalt Always Kill

Thou shalt not question Steven Fry

"F*ck a gun, don't make me pop the trunk and pull out Vinnie Paz!" Jarren Benton - Bully

ustari

Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
When I was dead broke, man I couldn't picture this
50 inch screen, money green leather sofa
Got two rides, a limousine with a chauffeur

Juicy - Biggie

Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week

I'm not a businessman
I'm a business, man!

Diamonds remix - Jay-Z

Bitches I like em brainless
Guns I like em stainless steel
I want the ****ing Fortune like the Wheel
I squeeze Gats till my clips is empty
Don't tempt me, you don't want to **** with the M-E

Then into Method's verse. Love it.
The What - Biggie

Sex get rougher when it come to the nut buster
Pussy crusher, black nasty mother****er
I don’t chase 'em, I replace 'em, and if I’m caressing 'em I’m undressing 'em

One More Chance - Biggie

Me give my heart to a woman?
Not for nothing, never happen
I'll be forever macking
Heart cold as assassins, I got no passion, I got no patience
And I hate waiting, ho get your ass in and let's ride

Big Pimpin - Jay-Z

I don't care if you Mobb Deep, I hold triggers to crews
You little ****, I got money stacks bigger than you
When I was pushing weight, back in '88
You was a ballerina, I got the pictures, I seen ya

Takeover - Jay-Z

My child, I've watched you grow up to be famous
And now I smile like a proud dad, watchin' his only son that made it
You seem to be only concerned with dissing women
Were you abused as a child, scared to smile, they called you ugly
Well life is harsh; hug me, don't reject me
Or make records to disrespect me, blatant or indirectly

Ether - Nas

I'm so shy that you thought I was bashful
But this bastard's flow will bash your skull

Get Em High - Kanye West

I got more riches than you, **** more bitches than you
Only thing I haven't got is more stitches than you
****ing punk, you ain't a leader what, nobody followed you
You was never ****, your mother should have swallowed you

98 Till Infinity - Big L

Gats we bust, backs we crush
Only hot tracks we lust, crazy stacks we clutch
And we need plaques to touch that say platinum plus
Cause half of you niggas that's rappin' now is whack to us

Platinum Plus - Big L

Rap prime minister, some say sinister
Non-stopping the groove, until when it's the
Climax, and I max, relax and chill

Aint No Half Steppin - Big Daddy Kane

I realise some of these are more like verses than lines but you can't get the full effect without the other lines. Generally I like ignorant brash rap that defines the music imo.

R.A. The Rugged Man – Definition Of A Rap Flow
