lyrics

Chorus:
My favourite 20 (Echo)



Verse One:
De La, that’s Plug One, Plug Two, and Plug Three the
Stakes have been high ever since I heard three feet
Nas, that chipped tooth cat from Queens
Matically ill since the first LP
Slum Vill, Elzhi and T3
Baatin, Jay Dee, Rest in peace
J Dilla, the illest beat maker in the mix
Missed you ever since 2006
Gangstarr, DJ Premier and Guru
Every time I listen it’s a moment of truth
Snoop Dogg, the laid back dude from Long Beach
S.N double O. P. D. O double G
Q-Tip, the high pitched voice of the Tribe
Renaissance man keeping hip-hop alive
Rakim, one of the best to ever rhyme
I call him a veteran it’s been a long time
Ghostface, Tony Starks on the track wilin’
Wu-Tang, Ghost Dini from Staten Island
Biggie Smalls, had Bad Boy music so lets
Party and Bullshit and…
These are the Artists that I grew up listening
They gave us music filled with fun and wisdom
And I know that there’s much more artists plenty
But I chose to impose on my favourite 20



Chorus:


















Verse Two:
Pete Rock, he chopped breaks yo a trendsetter
The Main Ingredient since the return of the Mecca
Phife Dawg, the Quest Five Footer
Yo he got the crazy game and yo he smooth like butter
Jay-Z, (Jigga Man) co-founder of the Roc
Went straight to the top since it’s a hard knock
KRS, to hip-hop he aint no stranger
From blunts getting smoked to Rapperz are in danger
Black Sheep, but for the moment I won’t speak
Upon this, I mean that, I mean those, I mean them
I mean… there, I mean… here... Damn!!
Yo what you trying say D? Yo let me try this again
Black Sheep, Dres and Mr Lawnge one time
With the engine, engine number nine
Busta Rhymes, and they call him Bus-a-Bus
Lyrically untouched since the Leaders
The Beatnuts, from intoxicated demons
to “no one’s ready to deal with us”
Redman, “whoo! whoo!” the Funk Doctor Spock
You could swear Reggie Noble was inside the trunk
Black Thought and the legendary roots crew
Is Philly Representing from the two, one, fifth
Slick Rick, aka MC Ricky D
Brought us Mona Lisa and Children’s Story
These are the artists that I grew up listening
They gave us music filled with fun and wisdom
And I know that there’s much more artists plenty
But I chose to impose on my favourite 20
