Pretty much every first verse on Illmatic IMO Quote Celph Title - Time to Rock
titled; past tense, but yes he rips it on everything he's on
Too many by eminem to list
A WELL DRESSED SKELETON SLOWLY CUTS YOUR THROAT. "I Have No Fear Whatsoever of Anybody or Anything" -Malcolm X “those who consider themselves the most adamant adherents of “real” hip-hop can also be the least knowledgeable.” –Adilifu Nama; an excert from his perception of Nas’s “Genesis”

JURRASIC 5 - JURASS FINISH FIRST (CHALI KILLS IT)
KRS ONE AND BUCKSHOT - THINK OF THINGS (K'NAAN KILLS IT)
NAS - LIFE'S A BITCH (AZ KILLS IT)
THA DOGG POUND - DOGG POUND GANGSTAZ (KURUPT KILLS IT)
THE D.O.C. - GRAND FINALE (ICE CUBE KILLS IT)
N.W.A. - STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON (CUBE STILL KILLS THE SHIT)
MENACE 2 JOKER: Go back to Mexico you damn spic
JOKER 2 MENACE: Shut up you fake nigga your a damn sand nigger not a full nigger
