- “I start to think, and then I sink. Into the paper like I was ink. When I’m writing, I’m trapped in between the lines. I escape when I finish the rhyme.” Rakim – ‘I Know You Got Soul’
- “Brain cells are lit. Ideas start to hit. Next the formation of words that fit. At the table I sit, making it legit. And when my pen hits the paper.” Big Daddy Kane – ‘Ain’t No Half Steppin’‘
- “If I told you that a flower bloomed in a dark room, would you trust it?” Kendrick Lamar – ‘Poetic Justice’
- “If skills sold, truth be told, I’d probably be. Lyrically, Talib Kweli. Truthfully, I wanna rhyme like Common Sense. But I did 5 mill’ – I ain’t been rhyming like Common since.”
- Nas on “New York State of Mind” (Verse 1) "Rappers I monkey flip em with the funky rhythm I be kicking/Musician, inflicting composition/of pain I'm like Scarface sniffing cocaine/Holding a M-16, see with the pen I'm extreme, now/Bullet holes left in my peepholes/I'm suited up in street clothes/Hand me a nine and I'll defeat foes/Y'all know my steelo with or without the airplay/I keep some E&J, sitting bent up in the stairway/Or either on the corner betting Grants with the celo champs/Laughing at baseheads, tryin' to sell some broken amps/G-Packs get off quick, forever n***** talk s***/Reminiscing about the last time the Task Force flipped/N***** be running through the block shootin'/Time to start the revolution, catch a body, head for Houston/Once they caught us off-guard, the Mac-10 was in the grass and/I ran like a cheetah with thoughts of an assassin/Pick the Mac up, told brothers, "Back up," the Mac spit/Lead was hitting n*****, one ran, I made him back flip/Heard a few chicks scream, my arm shook, couldn't look/Gave another squeeze, heard it click, "yo, my s*** is stuck"/Try to cock it, it wouldn't shoot, now I'm in danger/Finally pulled it back and saw 3 bullets caught up in the chamber/So now I'm jetting to the building lobby/And it was full of children probably couldn't see as high as I be/(So what you saying?)
- Snoop Dogg on Dr. Dre’s “Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang” (Verse 1) "Give me the microphone first, so I can bust like a bubble/Compton and Long Beach together/Now you know you're in trouble/Ain't nothin' but a G thang, baby/Two loc'ed out *****, so we're crazy/Death Row is the label that pays me/Unfadeable, so please don't try to fade this"
- Rakim on “Follow the Leader” (Verse 1) "Get in the flow - and you can picture like a photo/Music mixed mellow maintains to make/Melodies for MC's motivates the breaks /I'm everlasting, I can go on for days and days/With rhyme displays that engrave deep as X-rays/I can take a phrase that's rarely heard, flip it/Now it's a daily word..."
- Notorious B.I.G. on Puff Daddy’s “Victory” (Verse 2) "Francis, M to the iz-H phenomenal/Gun rest under your vest by the abdominal/Rhyme a few bars so I can buy a few cars/And I kick a few flows so I can pimp a few ****/Excellence is my presence, never tense/Never hesitant, leave a ***** bent real quick/Real sick, raw nights, I perform like Mike/Anyone - Tyson, Jordan, Jackson/Action, pack guns, ridiculous/And I'm, quick to bust, if my ends you touch/Kids or girl you touch, in this world I clutch/Two auto-matoes, used to call me fatso/Now you call me Castro..."
- Nas - "N.Y. State of Mind" "I never sleep ’cause sleep is the cousin of death" To be fair, Nas wasn't the originator of this idea. Sleep as Death's brother dates back to Homer's Iliad, but Nas recontextualized the idea in such a menacing, streetwise manner, it has become a mainstay in the hip-hop canon.
- Rakim - "I Know You Got Soul" "I start to think, and then I sink / Into the paper like I was ink / When I'm writing, I'm trapped in between the lines / I escape when I finish the rhyme."
- Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five - "The Message" "Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge / I'm trying not to lose my head / It's like a jungle.
- 2Pac - "Dear Mama" "And even as a crack fiend, mama / You always was a black queen, mama." When "Dear Mama" was inducted into the Library of Congress, Tupac's mother reacted by saying this: "It is a song that spoke not just to me, but every mother that has been in that situation, and there have been millions of us.
