History of Rap 1
[Sugarhill Gang, "Rapper's Delight"]
I said a hip hop the hippie the hippie
To the hip hip hop, a you don’t stop
The rock it to the bang bang boogie say up jumped the boogie
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
Now what you hear is not a test, I’m rappin' to the beat
And me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet

[Run-D.M.C., "Peter Piper"]
Now Peter Piper picked peppers but Run rocked rhymes
Humpty Dumpty fell down that’s his hard time
Jack B. Nimble what nimble and he was quick
But Jam Master cut faster Jack’s on Jay’s

[Beastie Boys, "Paul Revere"]
Now here’s a little story I’ve got to tell
About three bad brothers you know so well
It started way back in history
With Adrock, M.C.A., and me – Mike D

[A Tribe Called Quest, "Award Tour"]
We on Award Tour with Muhammad my man
Goin each and every place with the mic in their hand

[Digital Underground, "Humpty Dance"]
The Humpty Dance is your chance to do the hump
Do me baby
Do the Humpty Hump
Watch me do the Humpty Hump
[Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg, "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang"]
One, two, three, and to the four
Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre is at the door
(Double P, Double G, Double D, you see)
(Wow)

[2Pac, "California Love"]
California Love

[Notorious B.I.G., "Juicy"]
It was all a dream
I used to read Word Up magazine
Salt n' Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
Hanging pictures on my wall
Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl

[Roots, "The Seed (2.0)"]
I push my seed in her bush for life
It’s gonna work because I’m pushing it right
If Mary dropped my baby girl tonight
I would name her Rock n'...

[Eminem, "My Name Is"]
Hi, my name is (what?)
My name is (who?)
My name is (Slim Shady)
[Missy Elliott, "Work It"]
Is it worth it, let me work it
I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it
I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it [backwards 2X]

[Soulja Boy, "Crank Dat"]
Soulja boy off in this ho
Watch me crank it, watch me roll
Watch me crank that Soulja Boy
Then super man that ho
Now watch me yuuuuuuu
(Crank that Soulja Boy)
Now watch me yuuuuuuu
(Crank that Soulja Boy)
Now watch me yuuuuuuu
(Crank that Soulja Boy)
Now watch me yuuuuuuu
(Crank that Soulja Boy)

[T.I. feat. Rihanna, "Live Your Life"]
Miya hee, miya ho, miya hu, miya ha ha
So live your life
(Hey, ayy, ayy, ayy)
You steady chasin’ that paper, gotta--

[Kanye West feat. Jamie Foxx, "Gold Digger"]
Take my money, when I’m in need
Yeah, she’s a trifling, friend indeed
(She certainly is)
Oh, she's a gold digger, way over town
That digs on me
[Jay-Z feat. Alicia Keys, "Empire State of Mind"]
Yeah, I’m out that Brooklyn, now I’m down in TriBeCa
Right next to DeNiro, but I’ll be hood forever
Statue of Liberty, long live the World Trade
(Everybody sing it, everybody sing it)
New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There’s nothing you can’t do
Now you’re in New York, New York, New York

[Sugar Hill Gang, "Rapper's Delight"]
I said a hip hop the hippie the hippie
To the hip hip hop, a you don't stop
