Pharoahe the god strike the mic hard like Ty Cobb with a bat
Physicist the antithesis of Steve Jobs when he raps, mack
Sick gonorrhea clap! Onomatopoeia, smack the shyt out you, you have no idea
Send a stranger to rearrange your Range Rover key your Kia
P'll see ya via satellite with money longer than Nia's
fukk chivalry I will end a chick's career
And return to forever, I am Chick Corea
At O'Hare Air with surface to air missiles for your lair
(Missile sounds)-- What you will hear before I send you to visit Aaliyah
Proceed with caution, he strikes with force and of course
You need to borrow some sorcery with a cross to bear
And a culture enforcing the nuclear laws of North Korea
So awesome, when we morphing
Pharoahe, Tigallo
We go off, we throw off and
Yes yes y'all




he up there

Internal Affairs has some gems on it. Desire is heat too. Sadly, I never checked out anything beyond Desire. The lyricism on those two albums from the technical to the wordplay is GOAT level.

war and pstd are heat to me imo and if u count group albums then pharoahe monch got a great discography

he would be on mine if i bothered to do it. I'm a big fan
Same. I think the time lapse between his first and 2nd album hurt him, as did his 1st album going out of print.

I also think he got in this weird space where he ended up almost being seen by some mainstream folks and casual fans as a hook man.

Dude is one of the most versatile emcees ever though. Definitely one of my favorites. I saw him live with M.O.P. and his breath control was flawless. He had an inhaler on stage and it's really inspirational that he's able to flow the way he does while having asthma. There's a freestyle somewhere out there where his asthma flares up while he's rapping.

Even though he's one of my favorites ever I do admit that besides his first album I do think I prefer him when there's another artist on a joint with him, and I've had a hard time getting into a couple of his albums post 2010. I'm not exactly sure why. There's nothing not dope about them.

But yeah. Monch is absolutely a top 50 emcee by damn near every metric.

That's wild. I basically said the same thing and I'm not exactly sure why. But I just haven't gotten into anything after Desire. When I saw him live in 2004 he rapped the Desire verses acapella. I remember the clips/clipse like Pharrell bars having the crowd open. It was cool to hear them on a song years later.

In order to recollect exceptional memories
I developed a way to transform brainwaves into binary code from energy
Translate algorithms, converted the information to digital
Uploaded compiled files of wisdom
Then projected them on a screen, vivid beautiful scenes
Extract orchestrated symphonies and heavenly dreams
The alchemist
In kindergarten when kids was asking about alphabets
I was immaculate with astronomy, mastering calculus
Seized from my parents during a scene when I was seven
They experimented on my brain up until I was age eleven
And at age thirteen I learned to literally stream
Molecules and teleport molecular structures with the beam
These are my memories, soak them in with a notion
To fast forward the bad and play the good in slow motion
Now I astral project
Analyze Guam
Study Agent Orange bring back secrets from 'Nam
The government asked me to track the locals on Islam
They asked me the whereabouts of Boko Haram
And cracked my brain for catastrophic chatter that's insane
To extract data from satellites on missin' Malaysian planes
My memories, my memories, my memories
Although from only just a week ago
My memories, my memories, my memories
