Late 808

 

A new photo and hip-hop lyric, everyday. All photos taken by Karlyle. Enjoy!

Wale Ft. Miguel – Lotus Flower Bomb

Flower bomb, let me guess your favorite fragrance

And you got that bomb, huh, I’m tryna detonate you

No disrespecting baby, just tryna make you smile

Try to keep my spirits up, that’s why I lays it down

Post Malone Ft. Quavo – Congratulations

I was patient, yeah, oh

I was patient, aye, oh

Now I can scream that we made it

Now everyone, everywhere I go, they say ‘gratulations

Kanye West – Hold My Liquor

Bitch I’m back out my coma

Waking up on your sofa

When I park my Range Rover

Slightly scratch your Corolla

Okay, I smashed your Corolla

I’m hanging on a hangover

Five years we been over

Ask me why I came over

One more hit and I can own ya

Immortal Technique – Industrial Revolution

I’ve been nice since n….. got killed over 8-ball jackets

And Reebok Pumps that didn’t do shit for the sneaker

I’m a heatseaker with features

That’ll reach through the speaker

And murder counter-revolutionaries personally

Jean Grae – #8

You don’t like the way I flow? “She needs more emotion” no

I’ll give you emotion, it’s you, holding your broken nose

I’ll leave you comatose with a pound of Colombian snow

At your side so when the cops arrive, they’ll just say you overdosed

Yasiin Bey Ft. Talib Kweli – Know That

Guess who

The illest MC in the atmosphere

Yeah the Soul Controller

Who roam the frontier like a Buffalo Soldier

I follow the code of honor like a real man gonna

Never disrespect no women cause I love my momma

Jungle Brothers – Brain

I got so much funky shit inside my brain

I couldn’t explain, couldn’t explain

You wouldn’t understand, I couldn’t explain

Common – Communism

Now Com could get the penny, but I want my own company

And Com is on a mission not to work for commission

It’s a common market and it’s so much competition

But to me, competition is none

Earl Sweatshirt Ft. Vince Staples & Casey Veggies – Hive

If this was ’88, I would have signed to Ruthless

Nine-four, would’ve had them walking down Death Row

First is when the best go, hate is what the rest do

Voice inside my head told me, “Wet ’em if they test you”

So it’s Raging Waters season

That yomper big as Larry Johnson, leave your momma seedless

Everybody hard until it’s only God they seeing

Kittens soft but in they songs be trapping hard as Jeezy, I don’t believe it

OutKast – A Life In The Day Of Benjamin Andre (Incomplete)

But, I kept your number in my old phone

Got a new chip flip with the roam roam

So it took me a minute to retrieve 7 digits

But I promised I would call you when I got home

But, when I got home I never did

By the time I did, heard that you had a kid

By some nigga in Decatur

Who replied ‘See you later’ when he got the good news

That’s life shit

KRS-ONE – Outta here

I used to watch the show “I Dream of Jeannie”

And dreamt about “When will I be large like Whodini?”

But I was messin’ with graffiti on the subway

And getting chased by the cops almost everyday

I knew it had to be a better way see

So I would go to my room, blast RUN DMC

BDP – The Bridge Is Over

Manhattan keeps on makin it, brooklyn keeps on takin it

Bronx keeps creatin it, and queens keeps on fakin it

Eric B. & Rakim – My Melody

I take 7 emcees put ’em in a line

And add 7 more brothers who think they can rhyme

Well, it’ll take 7 more before I go for mine

Now that’s 21 emcees ate up at the same time

Kendrick Lamar – HUMBLE

My left stroke just went viral

Right stroke put lil’ baby in a spiral

Soprano C, we like to keep it on a high note

Lupe Fiasco – Go Go Gadget Flow

Beyond clean, in phenom jeans

Little rap Isaac Asimov

I let my momma in the rhyming that she raised me off

A 80s baby on fire like a safety off

Joey Bada$$ Ft. Schoolboy Q – Rockabye Baby

From getting lynched in field into owning buildings

Getting millions, influencing white children

And oddly we still ain’t even

Still a small percentage of blacks that’s eating

Future Ft.The Weeknd – Comin’ Out Strong

I know she wanna be poppin’ all over the ‘Gram

When the cameras come out, wanna hold my hand

Must be out of your mind, do you know who I am?

Man you’re killin’ my vibe, do you know who I am?

Atmosphere – The Woman with the Tattooed Hands

There’s good and evil in each individual fire

Identifies needs and feeds our desire

As long as we keep our spirit inspired

She can bite her bottom lip all she wants

Kendrick Lamar – HiiiPoWeR

Visions of Martin Luther staring at me

Malcolm X put a hex on my future someone catch me

I’m falling victim to a revolutionary song

The Serengeti’s cloned

Back to put you backstabbers back on your spinal bone

J. Cole – A Tale of 2 Citiez

I know that everything that glitters ain’t gold

I know the shits not always good as it seems

But tell me till you get it how could you know

How could you know? How could you know?

Nas – Nas Is Like

Freedom or jail, clips inserted, a baby’s being born

Same time my man is murdered, the beginning and end

Jeezy Ft. Plies – Lose My Mind

Why y’all trip

I’m just fine

12:45, bout that time

Couldn’t get it all week, time to unwind

Drink like a tank, lose my mind
