Hip-hop is universal now, it’s all commercial now.
It’s like a circle full of circus clowns up in the circuit now.

- Eminem, “If I Get Locked Up,” from Funkmaster Flex and Big Kap’s The Tunnel, 1999
I get imaginative with a mouth full of adjectives,
A brain full of adverbs, and a box full of laxatives,
Shittin’ on rappers, causin’ hospital accidents.

…That’s when you start to stare at who’s in the mirror,
And see yourself as a kid again, and you get embarrassed.
And I got nothin’ to do but make you look stupid as parents,
You fuckin’ do-gooders; too bad you couldn’t do good at marriage!

- Eminem, “Renegade,” from Jay-Z’s The Blueprint, 2001
Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out,
Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth,
Till the smoke clears out - am I high? Perhaps.
Imma rip this shit, till my bones collapse.
Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth,
Till the smoke clears out - am I high? Perhaps.
Imma rip this shit, till my bones collapse.
- Nate Dogg, “‘Till I Collapse,” from Eminem’s The Eminem Show, 2002, RIP Nate Dogg, in the hip-hop chorus hall of fame, without a doubt. He will be missed.
