Does that Nice and Smooth 'Hip Hop Junkies' track have lyrics going "Hail the return of the hip hop freaks" or am I thinking of something completely different?

All of these rappers are terrible execpt gangstar, puplic enemy, De La, Del, S.O.M., KRS, and tribe F*** everyone else im sick of people thinking that a top hip hop song should consist of trashy lyrics and catchy beats some people need to wake up and relize that all of these so-called-rappers have no skill. It takes no talent to rap about guns, bitches, niggers and weed. And its funny how most, if not all of these rappers grew up in nice ass neighborhoods yet they claim that they're gangbangers and lived on the streets, rapping about how hard and rough there past life was man F*** that. Personally Atmosphere Overcast should be at the top. And screw anyone who supported these no talent "rappers" in making millions and dicking over true mc's such as sage,j-live and slug.
