Favorite lines from "Crunk Muzik" by Jim Jones

"nigga I ride how I drive how I fly high sky high ha ha I'm high / so
high so fly float by oh why oh my and I don't know why"

From Soap Opera, which also references Gargamel.

that album is really really good though, better than i thought it was at first. the beats are really good, and i usually don't care about that stuff as much. especially on the aforementioned Jamaican Joint, the beat is mad triumphant, like many of the best Dipset related songs.

in terms of Crunk Muzik, its hard to isolate individual lines, it basically all stands out. i think i asked this on ILM before but nobody answered; wtf is with the video? why are there those russian people at the end, and why is that guy talking to that crowd of well dressed people, and why are they on rollerblades in the bathroom, and why are the dudes standing behind Santana and Jim Jones wearing corpsepaint?!??? is the video a reference to a movie or something? In any case, so fucking awesome. I think its my favorite thing in the world right now.

the best line in the song from juelz, obviously:

"So stay calm, shorty, when you see that palmed 40
I'll lock and load, you'll rock and roll like Bon Jovi"

By far my favorite line on this is by Cam, but it doesn't look as cool on paper with out the wierd phrasing, but still:

Tell her that her boo....bie's loco, coo.....kie monster, who he? (who am I?)

"But if it wasn't for Grandma
I swear I'm in love with my Grandma
That's why I only does it for Grandma."

Notwithstanding the audacity of rhyming "Grandma" with itself three times, that's at least as jarring a change from the overall tone of that song as when Cam'ron reveals that they like to hang out at Gray's Papaya.

It sounds like he wants to do more than just "rep" Grandma!

man....you Dip Set fans are sensitive ; )

Cam is the new Morrissey.

Canary burgandy
I call it lemon red
Yellow diamonds in my ear
Call em lemonheads
Lemonhead end up dead
Ice like winipeg
Gemstones flinstones
You could say i'm friends with fred
You want happy scrappy
I got pataki at me (wtf is this line?)
Bitches say i'm tacky daddy
Range look like laffy taffy

You got it right...he means the governor.

I still like the "drinkin sake on suzukis we in osaka bay" shit.

here's another line i like:
Golly I'm gully, look at his galoshes
Gucci, gold, platinum plaque collages

(x-post)

I'm more like the plant in "Little Shop of Horrors"
But I don't say "Feed me Seymour"
I say, "Feed me Dame, feed me Lyor"
Epic, they used to feed me detours
Roc-a-Fella, they feed me C-4
The way I blow up, the VS just soars
You GS-3, I'm GS-4
You in a Lexus, I'm Gulfstream 4
Up in the sky, on a Gulf Stream tour
You want beef? We'll start a Gulf Stream war
Lay your ass down on God's green floor
We playin' golf in the Gulf of New Mexico
The cost to be the boss, you gotta respect it, ho
My gas game, you gotta respect it tho
I swear to god you think I'm working for Texaco
And your section know when any day Tecs could blow
Hit 'em from neck to toe when I come deck ya, ho

we need a canadian refs in american rap thread.

i'm relistening to the Jim Jones album (it really is great), but i just noticed this: has he always sounded like Tu Pac or is it just on a few of these songs?

also, i pulled out the Juelz album last night (i'm making a friend who's into undie a dipset mix cd). it's really good. i've never listened to it because i have it on 2xlp and i fucking hate double records. i'm too lazy to have to flip over a record ever few songs. i think i like it so much because Heatmakerz did most of the album.

who did the beat?
