Favorite Things (feat. Blueprint)

[Blueprint]

My favorite things include hip-hop crowds that ain't biased

Seein heads participate in real rhyme cyphers

Open mics with nobody spittin a written

Original MC's that love being different

[Illogic]

My favorite things include, open minds to open mics

and when I get open from rhymes that strike

Creativity's a plus, plus an MC that can crush without a cuss

and it's nice when a DOPE chick bust

[Blueprint]

My favorite is b-girls that pop and lock

They're able to rock the spot, passers by that stop and jock

Cats that come to a hip-hop spot

without feelin the need to cop a glock and lick shots

[Illogic]

When a true MC spits raps composed of delicate prose on tracks

and when it's felt by the masses

Platinum respect lackin blunt ashes

Battle clashes from the top to drop any approachin amateur

When a challenger's up to caliber

[Blueprint]

MC's that shine without boastin

MC's that rhyme with the motion

Elevation without the high-postin

MC's that never lose touch and do they own street promotion

[Illogic]

When an MC's spirituality is the point focal

Minds bi-coastal, expandin beyond the local

And when I'm chillin with the pen and pad, fillin the lab with vocals

of melodic tunes that, reak of the underground perfume

[Blueprint]

When somebody I don't know gives me compliments

Seeing humbleness replace overconfidence

Hearin MC's that rap about the consequence

instead of glorifyin a lifestyle that lacks any type of common sense

[Illogic]

The lack of wack rhyme writin, and rhyme bitin

The ignitin of flames that fuel innovation

Tappin into the realm of concentration

to where the listener feels he's hopped dimension

Lyrics to make aliens stop and listen

[Blueprint]

The absence of yellin on my mixtapes

Any additional loops in my milk crates

Record shops where I cop all my beat breaks

Recordin every one of my verses on the very first take

[Illogic]

When the loop speed doesn't exceed 90

And to catch a line an MC must rewind me

To know my mom's behind me

That I make this my art, my culture, my release

My outlet by means through which I reveal the beast

[Blueprint]

When my EPS doesn't overheat

Rebootin and not lose an entire beat

When somebody wanna diss or underrate me

I know this sounds strange, but it motivates me

[Illogic]

Stereo-stereotypes crushed, the shatter of grey matter

Clutch the mic 'til it rust

When an +Unforeseen+ kid bust

In wild styles to thrust thoughts like rapids to rush

[**both**]

These are a few of our favorite things in hip-hop

And there's a lot more where those came from, don't play dumb

You know they're some of yours too

And if not, jot some, serve 'em, and do your best to preserve 'em

Our favorite things in hip-hop

And there's a lot more where those came from, don't play dumb

You know they're some of yours too

And if not, jot some, serve 'em, and do your best to preserve 'em
