One that makes me laugh: "I'm high like Degrassi." (Here's a link in case you don't get the reference.)

Don't hesitate to give someone the 411 (that's four-one-one) on any topic you desire. It means serving up the information, yo.
Posted by Sebastian | April 21, 2006 8:37 AM
You should include a reference to the po-po or 5-0.

I like the term coined by Outkast, "discrimihate."
"I met a critic, I made her **** her drawers,
She said she thought hip hop was only guns and alcohol--
I said "oh hell naw!" But yet it's that too,
You can't discrimihate cuz you done read a book or two."
(From "Humble Mumble" off the "Stankonia" album)

Or maybe something involving 160-million foot pounds of torque in your behind. That would be AWESOME. Or "tight" as the kids say.
Posted by Chris Snethen | April 21, 2006 10:04 AM
Careful Chris... that could sound like "Tranny" when recorded. Like, "'scuse me while I kiss the sky"... sounds like Jimi wanted to 'kiss this guy'.

Song entitled "One candidate, two faces"
I got two faces and a plan
I got two faces and a plan
I'm the Burdick woman
One face points to my record
One face points points to the tram
Oh, what a sham I am
I'm the Burdick woman
I say I support business
My record say I'll give'em the business
And I know I got a tin ear for small business
unless P.G.E. pays for my business
I'm the two faced candidate
But I'm whistling this tune for all its worth
Like a seal at a circus for the ring masters
The two papers that say "we get it"
Then show they "lost it"

you a blazin, phrasin, politically brazen, too caucasian white boy, ain't no rapper!

for d*** h**** you have to look up what words rhyme with federalist, Scalia, and free market.
Posted by rod | April 21, 2006 10:54 AM
Thanks, I already had one of those three.
Posted by Jack Bog | April 21, 2006 11:11 AM
Maybe you could throw down an old school rhyme like,
"No taxation without representation."

I'm the baddest
Taking out all rookies
So forget Oreos
Eat Bojack cookies
*apologies to LL Cool J*
For listenable, narrative rhyming, try listening to "Follow the Leader" by Eric B and Rakim, "It Was a Good Day" by Ice Cube, or "Summertime" by Will Smith (probably still recording at that time as DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince). We won't turn you into the RZA overnight...

A sure crowd pleaser...taking some of foxworths' emails and setting them to rhyme and rhythm...I'd give an example but sitting working on my chocolate bunny ears.

I like "Holla, dolla bill y'all". And you should definitely consider wearing an oversized wall clock on a gold neck chain a la Flavor Flav...
Posted by nader | April 21, 2006 8:05 PM
I don't know about rhymes, but I sure hope you're going to record and podcast this next to the internal revenue code project...
Posted by PDXile in Seattle | April 21, 2006 10:12 PM
I'm down with nader on the Flava Flav idea. 'Cept every rapper's gotta have his own style. Maybe you could wear a gigantic faux gold plated form 1040 for bling.
Posted by PDXile in Seattle | April 21, 2006 10:15 PM
Unless you are intent on pandering to some caricature of a poetic, great—and now global—art form, might I suggest that the university crowds are ready for a Duke Lacrosse Team recontextualization of Tupac's "Baby Don't Cry":
"Beneath the surface it was more than just a crooked smile
Nobody knew about her secret so it took a while
I could see a tear fall slow down her black cheek
Sheddin quiet tears in the back seat; so when she asked me,
"What would you do if it was you?"
Couldn't answer, such a horrible pain to live through
I tried to trade places in the tragedy
I couldn't picture three crazed niggaz grabbin me
For just a moment I was trapped in the pain, Lord come and take me ..."
