Surprised no ones said it yet but :

Wu Tang - C.R.E.A.M
Cash Rules Everything Around Me. This song/line has always put me in hustle mode and made me realize how important it is to gain wealth.

Jay-z - NYMP

I looked Death in the face years back
I held tears back, I gathered myself and stared back

Whenever I get depressed I listen to this line and man up and deal with life. Always stuck with me through the hard times.

I'm surprised people know about NYMP. Classic song and beat.

The lyrics in my sig.......stands out and really made a impact on me as a person......

but over the weekend i was listening to Sean P......

"Every time i get dressed, i sang the new shoe song".........****new shoes****

Thats one of those ringers that hit my heart, no matter what Pac said, Nas said, Jay-Z said, DMX said, BIG said
Kool G Rap said, BG said, Pun said, Soulja Slim said, Baby said and the list goes on and on.....

its something about that lyric, that just sit with me.......and i pondered on it this weekend and was thinking about
posting in this thread......cuz no matter how outrageous some of the lyrics, i wanted to relive and wanted to experience that the rappers rapped about.......its one thing my nikka.....i got a shoe collection.....
i got shoes my nikka.....to many pairs of shoes......all new....all fresh.....im always gettin new shoes....

cuz i was a bummy dirty nikka growing up.....never had name brand shoes.....i mean never.......even when i started gettin money i wasnt buyin Jordans .....but now my nikka.....im something serious......said all that to say....
i can rap along with nikkas talkin about Maybachs.....and Benz and all kinds of shyts i may never get.....
i can rap along about killing and fukking a millions hoes.....shyt is not happening.....i can rap along
repeating im twisted off molly and x pills, and activist.......none of this is happening.....but for some reason i relate and rap along to it.....but that new shoes shyt......damn near brought tears to my eyes when i realized.......dog it dont matter how hard shyt get for me......it dont matter how down i get......sometimes shyt be hard and a nikka just dont want to listen to music......but a fukkin fresh pair of sneakers my nikka.......i swear on everything.....its nothing like a fukkin fresh pair of shoes....and new fukkin socks.....nikka be feeling he walkin on air with the new joints on..... dog have u ever took off a pair of new joints....and opened a box and put on a pair of new joints...

Rakim Allah- The Ghetto

I'm glad I listen when my father was rapping to me
'Cause back in the days, they lived in caves
Exiled from the original man, a straight way
Now that's what I call hard times
I rather be here to exercise the mind
Then I take a thought around the world twice
From knowledge NEWBORN back to knowledge precise
Across the desert, that's HOT AS THE ARABIAN
But they couldn't cave me in 'cause I'm the Asian
Reaching for the city of Mecca, visit Medina
Visions of Neffertiti then I seen a
Mind keeps traveling, I'll be back after I
Stop and think about the brothers and sisters in
Africa


I was a kid, and no lie, this is one of the first rap bars that made me want to look into african culture. All i knew about Africa was kids with flies, mudhuts, famine and the other bullshyt that white folks brainwashed us with. This is one of the first rap verses that made me curious about something conscious. It wasn't a comprehensive verse about the diaspora, but it was a nugget that eventually led me into that discussion

I need you to explain this to me. Please. If you do then I'll rep and dap you with no problem. But please, explain this.
He is saying that because he has done so much that is memorable to you as the listener and fan of his, then as long as his fans live on he is immortal because they know all of his songs, deeds, exploits, etc. Ppl like me carry on his memory. And unless all of us are killed he can never die.

His last album is titled Fait Acompli which roughly translated means "That which is already done can never be undone."

He actually talks about immortality and reincarnation on multiple occassions throughout his albums.

"In my past life, I slayed hundreds.
In the life before that, I played trumpets... to warn you that I was coming" -Canibus
:whoo:

Definitely one of my favorite artists.
