    Well Im talking Lyrics wise. The song doesn't need to be performed all that well, Just the lyrics need to have meaning.


    For me it would be Real Muthaphuckkin Gs By Eazy-E (R.I.P)

    The song was between the war Dre and Eazy had. This song demolishes Dre. Look it up on Wikipedia to find out what hes actually saying.

    Lyrically, The best rap sone ever written.

    [Nas]
    I rap for listeners, blunt heads, fly ladies and prisoners
    Hennessey holders and old school niggas, then I be dissin a unofficial that smoke woolie thai
    I dropped out of Kooley High, gassed up by a cokehead cutie pie
    Jungle survivor, fuck who's the liver
    My man put the battery in my back, a difference from Energizer
    Sentence begins indented with formality
    My duration's infinite, moneywise or physiology
    Poetry, that's a part of me, retardedly bop
    I drop the ancient manifested hip-hop, straight off the block
    I reminisce on park jams, my man was shot for his sheep coat
    Chocolate blunts make me see him drop in my weed smoke
    It's real, grew up in trife life, did times or white lines
    The hype vice, murderous nighttimes, and knife fights invite crimes
    Chill on the block with Cognac, hold strap
    with my peeps that's into drug money, market into rap
    No sign of the beast in the blue Chrysler, I guess that means peace
    For niggas no sheisty vice to just snipe you
    Start off the dice-rolling mats for craps to cee-lo
    With sidebets, I roll a deuce, nothing below (peace God!)
    Peace God -- now the shit is explained
    I'm taking niggas on a trip straight through memory lane
    It's like that yall it's like that yall it's like that yall

    [Chorus: repeat scratches 4X]

    "Now let me take a trip down memory lane" -> [BizMarkie]
    "Comin outta Queensbridge"

    [Nas]
    One for the money
    Two for pussy and foreign cars
    Three for Alize niggas deceased or behind bars
    I rap divine Gods check the prognosis, is it real or showbiz?
    My window faces shootouts, drug overdoses
    Live amongst no roses, only the drama, for real
    A nickel-plate is my fate, my medicine is the ganja
    Here's my basis, my razor embraces, many faces
    Your telephone blowing, black stitches or fat shoelaces
    Peoples are petrol, dramatic automatic four-four I let blow
    and back down po-po when I'm vexed so
    my pen taps the paper then my brain's blank
    I see dark streets, hustling brothers who keep the same rank
    Pumping for something, some uprise, plus some fail
    Judges hanging niggas, uncorrect bails, for direct sales
    My intellect prevails from a hanging cross with nails
    I reinforce the frail, with lyrics that's real
    Word to Christ, a disciple of streets, trifle on beats
    I decipher prophecies through a mic and say peace.
    I hung around the older crews while they sling smack to dingbats
    They spoke of Fat Cat, that nigga's name made bell rings, black
    Some fiends scream, about Supreme Team, a Jamaica Queens thing
    Uptown was Alpo, son, heard he was kingpin, yo
    Fuck "rap is real", watch the herbs stand still
    Never talking to snakes 'cause the words of man kill
    True in the game, as long as blood is blue in my veins
    I pour my Heineken brew to my deceased crew on memory lane

    Not sure if I can top those two songs... Eazy and Nas in the Illmatic era are insanely good. But, how about Blackstar - Thieves in the Night

    [Talib Kweli]
    Yo Dee (What?)
    Come on (Yeah..)
    What? What? Come on
    (Yeah)

    "Give me the fortune, keep the fame," said my man Louis
    I agreed, know what he mean because we live the truest lie
    I asked him why we follow the law of the bluest eye
    He looked at me, he thought about it
    Was like, "I'm clueless, why?"
    The question was rhetorical, the answer is horrible
    Our morals are out of place and got our lives full of sorrow
    And so tomorrow comin later than usual
    Waitin' on someone to pity us
    While we findin beauty in the hideous
    They say money's the root of all evil but I can't tell
    YouknowhatImean, pesos, francs, yens, cowrie shells, dollar bills
    Or is it the mindstate that's ill?
    Creating crime rates to fill the new prisons they build
    Over money and religion there's more blood to spill
    The wounds of slaves in cotton fields that never heal
    What's the deal?
    A lot of cats who buy records are straight broke
    But my language universal they be recitin my quotes
    While R&B singers hit bad notes, we rock the boat
    of thought, that my man Louis' statements just provoked
    Caught up, in conversations of our personal worth
    Brought up, through endangered species status on the planet Earth
    Survival tactics means, bustin gats to prove you hard
    Your firearms are too short to box with God
    Without faith, all of that is illusionary
    Raise my son, no vindication of manhood necessary

    [M.D.] Not strong
    [T.K.] Only aggressive
    [M.D.] Not free
    [T.K.] We only licensed
    [M.D.] Not compassioniate, only polite
    [T.K.] Now who the nicest?
    [M.D.] Not good but well behaved
    [T.K.] Chasin after death
    so we can call ourselves brave?
    [M.D.] Still livin like mental slaves
    [both] Hidin like thieves in the night from life
    Illusions of oasis makin you look twice
    [both] Hidin like thieves in the night from life
    Illusions of oasis makin you look twice

    [Mos Def]
    Yo, I'm sure that everbody out listenin agree
    That everything you see ain't really how it be
    A lot of jokers out runnin in place, chasin the style
    Be a lot goin on beneath the empty smile
    Most cats in my area be lovin the hysteria
    Synthesized surface conceals the interior
    America, land of opportunity, mirages and camoflauges
    More than usually -- speakin loudly, sayin nothin
    You confusin me, you losin me
    Your game is twisted, want me enlisted -- in your usary
    Foolishly, most men join the ranks cluelessly
    Buffoonishly accept the deception, believe the perception
    Reflection rarely seen across the surface of the lookin glass
    Walkin the street, wonderin who they be lookin past
    Lookin gassed with them imported designer shades on
    Stars shine bright, but the light -- rarely stays on
    Same song, just remixed, different arrangement
    Put you on a yacht but they won't call it a slaveship
    Strangeness, you don't control this, you barely hold this
    Screamin brand new, when they just sanitized the old shit
    Suppose it's, just another clever Jedi mind trick
    That they been runnin across stars through all the time with
    I find it's distressin, there's never no in-between
    We either niggaz or Kings
    We either bitches or Queens
    The deadly ritual seems immersed, in the perverse
    Full of short attention spans, short tempers, and short skirts
    Long barrel automatics released in short bursts
    The length of black life is treated with short worth
    Get yours first, them other niggaz secondary
    That type of illin that be fillin up the cemetary
    This life is temporary but the soul is eternal
    Separate the real from the lie, let me learn you
    Not strong, only aggressive, cause the power ain't directed
    That's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive
    Not free, we only licensed
    Not live, we just excitin
    Cause the captors.. own the masters.. to what we writin
    Not compassionate, only polite, we well trained
    Our sincerity's rehearsed in stage, it's just a game
    Not good, but well behaved cause the ca-me-ra survey
    most of the things that we think, do, or say
    We chasin after death just to call ourselves brave
    But everyday, next man meet with the grave
    I give a damn if any fan recall my legacy
    I'm tryin to live life in the sight of God's memory
    Like that y'all

    [Mos Def]
    A lot of people don't understand the true criteria of things
    Can't just accept the appearance
    Have to get the true essence

    [Talib Kweli]
    They ain't lookin around

    [T.K.] Not strong
    [M.D.] Only aggressive
    [T.K.] Not free
    [M.D.] We only licensed
    [T.K.] Not compassioniate, only polite
    [M.D.] Now who the nicest?
    [T.K.] Not good but well behaved
    [M.D.] Chasin after death
    so we can call ourselves brave?
    [T.K.] Still livin like mental slaves
    [both] Hidin like thieves in the night from life
    Illusions of oasis makin you look twice
    [both] Hidin like thieves in the night from life
    Illusions of oasis makin you look twice
    [both] Hidin like thieves in the night from life
    Illusions of oasis makin you look twice
    [both] Hidin like thieves in the night from life
    Illusions of oasis makin you look twice

    [Mos Def (singing)]
    Stop hidin, stop hidin, stop hidin yo' face
    Stop hidin, stop hidin, cause ain't no hidin place
    * repeat 2X*

    (Ad libs to fade)


    -----Likely if I thought hard I could find a better song lyrically.. Alphabetical Slaughter by Papoose is also insanely good, might want to listen to it.

    Eminem - Lose Yourself

    Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity
    To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment
    Would you capture it or just let it slip?

    Verse 1

    Yo, his palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
    There is vomit on his sweater already
    Moms forgettin' he's nervous
    But on the surface he looks calm and ready
    To drops bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
    What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
    He opens his mouth but the words won't come out
    He's choking, how? Everybody's jokin' now
    The clock's run out, time's up, over BLOW!
    Snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity
    Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked, he's so mad
    But he won't give up that easy, no he won't have it
    He knows his whole back's to these ropes
    It don't matter, he's dope, he knows that
    But he's broke, he's so sad that he knows
    When he goes back to this mobile home
    That's when it's back to the lab again, yo
    This whole rhapsody, better go capture this moment
    And hope it don't collapse on him

    You better lose yourself in the music
    The moment you own it you better never let it go, oh
    You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
    Cuz opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
    You better lose yourself in the music
    The moment you own it you better never let it go, oh
    You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
    Cuz opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
    You better

    Verse 2

    Soul's escapin' through this hole's that is gaping
    This world is mines for the taking
    Make me king as we move toward a new world order
    A normal life is boring
    But superstardom's close to post mortem
    It only grows harder, homie grows hotter
    He blows us all over, these hoes is all on him
    Coast to coast shows, he's known as the Globetrotter
    Lonely roads got him
    He knows he's grown farther from home, he's no father
    He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
    But hold ya nose cuz here goes the cold water
    These hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold prada
    They moved on to the next shmo who flows
    Who nose dove and sold nada
    And so the so proper
    His toll, it unfolds and I suppose it's old, partner
    But the beat goes on
    Duh duh doe, duh doe, dah dah dah dah

    Verse 3

    No more games, I'ma change for due called rage
    Tear this muthafuckin' roof off like two dogs caged
    I was playin' in the beginnin', the mood all changed
    I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
    But I kept rhymin' and stepped writin' the next cipher
    Best believe somebody's payin' the pied piper
    All the pain inside amplified by the
    Fact that I can't get by with my nine to five
    And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
    Cuz, man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
    And there's no movie, there's no Mekhi Pfifer
    This is my life and these times are so hard
    And it's gettin' even harder tryin' to feed and water
    My seed plus teeter-totter
    Caught up between bein' a father and a pre-madonna
    Baby momma drama, screamin' on her
    Too much for me to wanna stay in one spot
    Another damn or not has gotten me to the point
    I'm like a snail, I've got to formulate a plot
    Or end up in jail or shot
    Success is my only muthafuckin' option, failure's not
    Momma love you but this trailer's got to go
    I cannot grow old in Salem's Lot
    So here I go, it's my shot
    Feet fail me not
    Cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got

    Duh doo
    You can do anything you set your mind to, man

    Hm.. Wonder what the best diss song of all time is...
    Has to be Real Muthaphukkin G's or Hit Em' Up, ... Fuck wit Dre day, The Bitch in You, Ether and No Vaseline are good too. The Bridge is over would definitely get an honorable mention for essentially being the best good diss song.

    I concur. The best line is:
    You aint broke a law in your life, yet every time you rap you yap about the guns and knives.

    That is what you call a Diss.

    What kind of garbage is that?

    Maybe it sounds good. If I listened to it I'd be able to tell you

    Just reading the lyrics gives me nothing

    Lyrically, Common's I Used To Love H.E.R easily blows any other rap song out of the water describing a girl when he's really talking about Hip-Hop. Memory Lane is close behind but definitely not first

    Mr. Lif - Because They Made It That Way.

    It started with two turn tables and a mic
    Lightning strike, electricity
    MC rip rhymes DJ cut the wax viciously
    The combo, maliciously brought, ingenious and precise
    Mad nice, soon to be subject to mad heists
    Niggas talkin bout they bought mad ice, livin the mad sheist
    In the battle of art versus trends
    Poetry ends when money contends the recipe blends and becomes diluted
    Polluted in fact, but check whos been recruited
    Intact with rhymes for your mind
    Everydays a struggle 'cause society frames you
    But raise your head and walk with pride because i came to...

    [KRS-One sample x2] "Make It Better"

    The only place I can find justice is deep inside of these lines
    That i designed to explain situations of the times
    People in general are targets of big money markets
    And are all disposable unless you come ready to work
    Fully posable with suit and tie
    Ready to buy into the bullshit images
    Of people claiming that money is what there religion is
    Filthy females that are visionless
    And foes that are precisionless
    Let me be your mind's eye and vision this
    Rise above, your power is limitless
    The ghetto's designed to leave you spiritless
    Living from day to day dodging AK spray
    Niggas doing anything for pay
    In streets that spite the light of day
    The fallen gods been led astray
    I must retaliate
    "Why?"
    Because they made it that way
    "Word"
    Fully educated rhyme spray
    My way is to give you something to cling to
    So you can survive dillemas that you live through
    Then exist through your light
    And focus on being in search of what's real
    Instead of just relying on the steel.

    "Make It Better"
    "Remember?"
    "Make It Better"

    Check it,
    This is the new lyrical selection
    Red, black, and green protection
    Motivation and pride connection
    Moving the focus of your perception away from nice cars with fuel injection
    The lesson is often taught, but never heard
    Leaving your vision forever blurred
    Killing for wealth in a world thats absurd, with hate in killing the fate
    Delivered by your villian(?)
    Fucked up from skunk and malt liquor and now he's illin'
    'cause he hasn't had a meal in three days
    Chop your neck in three ways, common occurences these days
    Soon to be locked in a cell for raising hell
    Looking back upon his life wondering where he fell
    But martyrs tell of many uncivil nights
    While battleing for civil rights
    Niggas die 'cause ignorance plights
    And ignorance fights progress
    In all shapes and types
    By blocking the lights of success from niggas sights
    So one nigga snipes his brotha who he claimed he never likes
    And snatches his adiddas and nikes
    So I drop knowledge on mics until apocalypse strikes
    Atomic blast blowing niggas off dirtbikes
    I mold the soil into dirt spikes
    And jump straight from the top of the chart
    And drive 'em through the devil's heart
    Its time to revolt and restart
    And live our lives from the heart
    And bring this music back to the art, rip it apart.

    Though I'm a fan of all these guys above.

    I know this is a (gravedigged?) thread but I would have to agree with the OP.
    I have that song on my Ipod and its just amazing, it actually had feeling behind it. Easy E really knew how to lay down lines.
