Mos Def & Talib Kweli-Respiration

[booka7400]

The new moon rode high in the crown of the metropolis

Shinin, like who on top of this?

People was tusslin, arguin and bustlin

Gangstaz of Gotham hardcore hustlin

I'm wrestlin with words and ideas

... My ears is picky, seekin what will transmit

The scribes can apply to transcript, yo

This ain't no time where the usual is suitable

Tonight alive, let's describe the inscrutable

The indisputable

[booka7400]

If hip hop is dead, I'm it's Casket.

Real Hip Hop

one person hates real hip hop

[momo121212]

Now adays most Hip-hop is so fake that even the artist dosn't know what they're talking about. Thank goodness for these three, staying true to what they believe in.

[crookedletterc]

I felt that through the veins!! Reminded me of those freestyle sessions

[Aeonius88]

this is top 5 hip hop songs of all time mate no doubt.we can argue on the position,but top 5 its in.this song is made of diamonds and fairydust my friend, and thats about it :)

[Famn180]

Damnn I'm in love with that chorus

"So much on my mind that I can't recline

Blastin holes in the night til she bled sunshine

Breathe in, inhale vapors from bright stars that shine

Breathe out, weed smoke retrace the skyline

Heard the bass ride out like an ancient mating call

I can't take it y'all, I can feel the city breathin

Chest heavin, against the flesh of the evening

Sigh before we die like the last train leaving "
