Now my helmet’s on, you can’t tell me I’m not in space.

- Dr. Octagon, “Earth People,” Dr. Octagonecologyst, 1997

Dyin’ ain’t the shit, but it’s pleasant.

- Notorious B.I.G., “My Downfall,” Life After Death, 1997

Have you ever seen those videos with the naked big booty girls
And the MC be rhymin, and you be like, “Yo, that joint is ill!”
But chill, when a rapper think he’s slick, he can’t rhyme a lick,
So he presents the naked chick to cover up his lack of skill.

- Mondo, “God Sound,” Boogiemonsters’ God Sound, 1997
