Intro: Raekwon (plus sample of Tony Montana having an argument)

"I told you a long time ago you fuckin little monkey
not to FUCK ME."
"Hey hey, who the FUCK you think you goin for huh??!"
"Who the fuck you think I am your fuckin dough-boy?"
"You wanna go to war?.... Wanna go to war, OK?"

Comin up on half a mil, we build
Get real God, taking you on another one Son
Uhh, Julio Igleasias
Makin CREAM like that nigga

[Verse One: Ghostface Killah]
Yo, first of all son, peep the arson
Many brothers I be sparkin and bustin mad light inside the dark
Call me dough snatcher, just the brother for the rapture
I handglide, holdin on strong, hard to capture
Extravagant, RZA bake the track and it's militant
Then I react, like a convict, and start killin shit
It's manifested, the Gods work like appliances
Dealin in my cypher I revolve around sciences
The 9th chamber, leave you trapped inside my hallway
You try to flee but you got smoked up by the doorway (blaow! blaow! blaow!)
No question, I send your ass back, right to the essence
Your whole frame is smothered in dirt, now how you restin
While I'll be trapped by sounds, locked behind loops
Throwin niggaz off airplanes cause Cash Rules
Everything Around Me black, as you can see
Swallow this murder one verse like God Degree
Then analyze my soundtrack for satisfaction
You adapt like a flashback chain reaction (Lace them niggaz, son!)

[Verse Two: Raekwon the Chef]
AK's black bust back like seventy Macs
I'm all that, street niggaz knowin my steez black
Ron G, you know he coincide with me see
Marvelous, Menace fo' Society
But anyway, let's toast, champagne thoughts with Ghost
I max the most shotguns through the nose
Phonograph hip-hop put me on top
'Lo wears, and Tommy Hil fly shit with a knot
The Witty Unpredictable live shit, drive by shit
Do or die shit, I'll take your lye and shit
And then you know, I'm runnin' through the penal, foul
Four-toothed child was wild
The old lady snitched, but fuck it, you know it, one love kid
No I'm not doin a bid
Too much to get for what cause six niggaz got
stuck, and the nigga chain was truck
Yo fuck that, Criminology rap
Speakers stay jet black floatin in the flyest Ac'
Nigga... bring it! Yeah..

[Outro: Raekwon]
Much love go to New York City
All my Tommy Hill ice-rockin niggaz

julio Inglecias..........maken cream like that nigga........ha

Anyone from the south who spits is rapping on a trickle down effect
we did it
we are hip hop
NY
you can bite the apple but you can't touch the core

I'm from Chicago but recently moved to Dallas. There was once a time that the only rap you heard came from one place-NYC. That's just the truth(if most of ya'll are old enough to have experienced that). What a mc pens on a track is just a reflection of what is already in their head; what's inside will eventually reach the surface. There are raw quality mc's everywhere you go, but I think they may be more focused in places like NYC because of the past and present influences. In the south, the brothers down here a lot of times seem and sound uneducated to many things and it shows when they write their songs. For the most part, very simplistic in content, hence Lil Wayne and some other knock-off rappers making it big right now. On the flip, brothers from NYC have to understand that being lyrical is more than cool, but the production/track has to be just as good as the lyrics. The south came up because the production was different and hot, definitely not because of there lyrical talent. Good hooks too. People can only stand to listen to "break beats" for so long. I've got mad love and respect for the brothers in New York, but there were a few years where you dropped the ball and got too caught up in the same sound, so others around the country took advantage of that. REAL TALK HERE.

its dudes like wayne that be puttin out bad messages for MCs from the south

no diss but how u gunna say souther rappers aint got shit on no north rappers????
scarface one of the top rappers out there n he from the south n represent it on everything...he go harder then a motherfucker..maybe he aint harder then ghostface or none of them but he still way up there wit his cold ass lyrics n hardcore beats

sick-ass song

2 hot.

NY was the birth place of hiphop no southern "artist" got anything on NY artist lyrically at least... for all the southern cats just sit back nd listen to raekwon nd Wu at its prime nd take notes from classic hip hop
actually hip hop is dead so what u call hiphop from the south is actually comercial media designed to attract ppl to sell records and make money.....that aint hip hop....it died when 50 came into the game with in da club lmao

jah?
