So I’m giving Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III a try. Despite being absolutely gangsta, a few of the tracks have melancholy tones and a certain poetry-reading-style delivery, plus there’s a lot of wordplay.
And so, I’m in the mood to finally add some hip-hop/rap to my library. I’m pretty sure I posted something like this years ago, but who cares!
Currently, I have:
Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool
Notorious B.I.G.’s Life After Death and Ready To Die

What is love?
What is this longing in our hearts for togetherness?
Is it not the sweetest flower?
Does not this flower of love have the fragrant aroma of fine fine diamonds?
Does not the wind love the dirt?
Is not love not unlike the unlikely not it is unlikened to?
Are you with someone tonight?
Do not question your love.
Take your lover by the hand.
Release the power with yourself.
You heard me, release the power.
Tame the wild cosmos with a whisper.
Conquer heaven with one intimate caress.
That’s right, don’t be shy.
Whip out everything you got.
And do it in the butt.
