thes - "we got 40 crates, black plates, rare grooves, breaks, no 78s, Vietnam era United States"

"putting breaks on drumpads like Meineke" I'm sure I butchered that, but it deserves some merit. -

You read my mind exactly! That is one of my all time favorite Thes lyrics!
Another of my all time favorites is on Earth Travelers when thes says " until we stop we claim a seperation that always has been since when far-bop broke from cool jazz" of course Dub and Thes come extremely hard in that whole song. -

O.S.T. is just to much to handle. I must say though I feel that the P comes hardest lyrically on Question, what do the rest of you cats think? -

for some reason I relate much to this song :-D.
On Zignaflyinblow DUB KK says," And if you don't like Cheeba then this song aint for you
I'm sayin you should try it, dont be a fake my brother
Put your lips up to the sh!t and close your eyes and hit the motherfucker
f*** your friends and everything that they know
I'm Double-K bringin it up, its one minute like a pro
So all my weed head niggas get busy in the place
I'm out three times, i'ma bout to take one to the face like..." another 1 that grips me madd tight, not just the lyrics but also the delivery & rhythm!!
Another set I dig is in Earth Travelers
Thes One, " Yo, I roughly rearrange, connect text through context to set a frame. I'm on a lyrical campaign through vocal grain with well trained thoughts, I spot stains in the fabric of time, with the magic of mine, I fabricate rhyme connects, then harvest pop culture with old record collections, with soul in our ears, we hear loops they can't and free the lost rhythms of indiginous chants."
that sh!t just paints a very lyrically textured picture for me
but like I said at 1st, its hard to say what is my fav, so much of what comes from the P is pure Artistic Genuis!!

I love the quote you metioned from earth travelers! That has to be one of my top five favorite P songs of all time. That is one of the dopest lyrical performences by Thes or anyone for that matter. The beat on that song is especially unique and is certainly a gem. Glad you checked out the topic, but I think you forgot to wiegh in on the poll. -

- "Shoot the gift like NRA members on Christmas morning"
"Leap tracks like Amtrak"
"Rip a crew up/ like a letter from the principal"
"Hang loose/ like a lady that just gave birth"
"Like the 405 at 5:30, nobody's moving"
