Is Q-Tip’s ‘check the Rhime’ really about hip hop?
In examining the mainstream surge of hip hop in the early 1990s (specifically, MC Hammer), Q-Tip saved his most poignant line in “Check the Rhime” for the very end. Hip hop was something more than just a fad.

Kool G. Rap’s verse on “The Realest” is one of the greatest guest appearances in hip hop history. As evidence by it making The Source’s once highly coveted “Hip-Hop Quotable.” Kool G Rap drops the kind of knowledge only old heads can, letting you know bullets don’t discriminate.

Dre paints the perfect lyrical picture of where he stands in as an elder statesman in hip hop. He almost bests it later on in “The Watcher” with “I ain’t a thug. How much Tupac in you, you got?” The entire verse is fire. From: Clipse’s “Grindin'” (Verse 3)
Rappers like Drake seemingly create verses around punchlines that are destined for Instagram captions. Think: “I live for the nights that I can’t remember, with the people that I won’t forget.”
