Rhyme Of The Year 2008
T.I. “Live Your Life” from Paper Trail
When you consider flow, the message, rhyme scheme and commercial appeal this second verse from T.I.’s “Live Your Life” reads as good as it sounds and is my vote for the best rhyme of 2008. Lil Wayne’s soliloquy at the end of “Misunderstood” gets my honorable mention for real talk but it don’t rhyme. What is your favorite verse of 2008?
I’m the opposite of moderate, immaculately polished with
the spirit of a hustler and the swagger of a college kid
Allergic to the counterfeit, impartial to the politics
Articulate, but still’ll grab a nigga by the collar quick
Whoever havin problems with their record sales just hollow-tip
If that don’t work and all else fails then turn around and follow Tip
I got love for the game, but ay I’m not in love with all of it
Could do without the fame, and rappers nowadays are comedy
The hootin and the hollerin, back and forth with the arguin’
Where you from, who you know, what you make and what kind of car you in
Seems as though you lost sight of what’s important when depositin’
them checks into your bank account, and you up out of poverty
Your values is a disarray, prioritizin’ horribly
Unhappy with the riches cause you’re piss poor morally
Ignorin’ all prior advice and forewarnin’
And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden, aren’t we

Nah as far as songs go wayne did his thing on (Tie My Hands) easily my fav
I, knock on the door, hope isn’t home
Fate’s not around the lucks all gone
Don’t ask me what’s wrong ask me what’s right
And I’ma tell you what’s life, and did you know?
I lost everything, but I ain’t the only the one
First came the hurricane, then the morning sun
Excuse me if I’m on one
And don’t trip if I light one, I walk a tight one
They try tell me keep my eyes open
My whole city underwater, some people still floatin’
And they wonder why black people still voting
‘Cause your president still choking
Take away the football team, the basketball team
And all we got is me to represent New Orleans, s**t
No governor, no help from the mayor
Just a steady beating heart and a wish and a prayer
[Robin Thicke]
These friends they come and go
But I got family, family
These kids so fast they grow
They learn so quickly now
That there’s nowhere to go
That there’s no future, future
Don’t make this here so low
And we can’t overcome, no
[Chorus]
[Lil Wayne]
And if you come from under that water then there’s fresh air
Just breathe baby God’s got a blessing to spare
Yes I know the process is so much stress
But it’s the progress that feels the best
‘Cause I came from the projects straight to success and you’re next
So try they can’t steal your pride it’s inside
Then find it and keep on grinding
‘Cause in every dark cloud there’s a silver lining
I know…
[Lil Wayne talking outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
See right now we just riding on love
A shot in the dark
We ain’t tryin to do nothing but hit the heart
We need love
That’s all y’all, that’s all
YES WE CAME ALONG, MUSIC HAS CHANGE LIVES ALL OVER THE WORLD. I MUST SAY RAP HAS TRANSFORMED THIS INDUSTRY.
