What do you think of these rhymes?
I've been listening to Common today. Here's an excerpt from "The Corner"

"Memories on corners with the four and the moors
Walk to the store for the rose, talking straightforward to hoes
Got uncles that smoke, and some put blow up they nose
To cope with the lows, the wind is cold and it blows
In they socks and they soles, niggaz holdin' they rolls
Corners leave souls opened and closed, hopin' for mo'
We know where to go, niggaz rollin' in droves
They shoot the wrong way, cuz they ain't know and they goes
The streets ain't safe cuz they ain't knowing the code
By the foes I was told, either focus or fold
Got cousins with flows, hope they open some doors
So we can cop clothes and roll in a Rolls
Now I roll in a Olds, with windows that don't roll
Down the roads where cars get broken and stole
These are the stories told by Stony and Cottage Grove
The world is cold, the block is hot as a stove
On the corners"

Personally, I think that's one impressive stanza. Especially the last five lines or so. The things the younger generations do with music never fails to impress me.

7. Common's one of the best out there.
That whole album is great, too, particularly "The Food," as performed live on Chappelle's Show.
