2861163, What's the first rap song you remember memorizing the lyrics to?
Posted by , Thu Dec-12-13 05:02 PM
I'm probably older than your ass. Mine was Roxanne Roxanne. UTFO, yo.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KpngczmD7Q

do not fucking front on it either, that was a lot of lyrics to remember as a kid.

Curious how many one love / scenerios will be the answer.



Yo EMD

Yeah, what's up man?


There goes that girl they call Roxanne.She's all stuck up


Why you say that?


Cause she wouldn't give a guy like me no rap
She was walking down the street so I said "Hello
I'm Kangol from UTFO."And she said "So?"
And I said "So?!? Baby don't you know?
I can sing, rap, and dance in just one show
Cause I'm Kangol, Mr. Sophisticata
As far as I'm concerned ain't nobody greater
From beginning to end and, to beginning
I never lose because I'm all about winning
But if I were to lose, I wouldn't be upset
Cause I'm not a gambler, I don't bet
I don't be in no casino, and baby while you knizzow
The izzi is the grizzeat Kizzangizzo."
I thought she'd be impress by my devious rap
I thought I had her caught cause I'm a sinister trap
I thought it'd be a piece of cake but it was nothing like that
I guess that's what I get for thinking, ain't that right, black?
Then crizzi to gizzone and seen number izzone
Crizzin ricking tizza of mizzac mic dizza
With the bang bang, brother I feel bad
But I ain't comitting suicide for no crab
But calling her a crab is just a figure of speech
Cause she's an apple, a pear, a plum, and a peach
I thought I had it in the palm of my hand
But man oh man, if I was grand I'd bang Roxanne

Chorus:
Roxanne, Roxanne, can't you understand?
Roxanne, Roxanne, I wanna be your man


You Kango, I don't think that you're dense
Buy you went about the matter with no experience
You should know, she doesn't need a guy like you
She needs a guy like me, with a high IQ
And she'll take to my rap, cause my rap's the best
The educated rapper MD will never fess
So when I met her, I wasted no time
But stuck up Roxanne paid me no mind
She thought my name was Barry, I told her it was Gary
She said she didn't like it so she chose to call me Barry
She said she'd love to marry, my baby she would carry
And if she had a baby, she'd name the baby Harry
Her mother's name is Baby, which is really quite contrary
Her face is really hairy, and you can say it's scary
So isn't not every, her father's a fairy
His job is secondary, in some military
He throws them to an ?electric camp? that wasn't voluntary
His daughter's name is Sherry, his sons are Tom and Jerry
Jerry had the flu but it was only temporary
Back in January, or was it February?
But everytime I say this rhyme it makes me kinda weary
It's only customary to give this commentary
Some say it's bad, some say it's legendary
You can search all you want, try your local library
You'll never find a rhyme like this in any dictionary
But do you know, after all that
All I received was a pat on the back
That's what you get, it happened to me
Ain't that right Mixmaster I-C-E

Chorus


You thought you had a rose, you thought you was Cupid
But EMD, your rap was plain stupid
I know you're educated, but when will you learn?
Not all girls want to be involved with bookworms
You gotta be strong in a way she can't resist
So educated rapper, huh, bust this...
Since she's a new girl on the block
I had to let her know that I'm the debonoir Doc
I said "I'd like to speak to you if I can
And if I'm correct your name is Roxanne."
She said "How'd you know my name?"I said "It's getting around.
Right now baby you're the talk of the town
Please let me walk you to the corner, my rap will be brief."
She said "I've seen you before, you look like a thief."
I said "Me? The Doc? A hood, a rock?
Running around the street robbing people on the block?
Nah, that's not my style, that crime I'm not related
As far as I'm concerned I'm too sophisticated."
Then it seemed I got busy cause she cracked a smile
That let me know my rap was worth her while
She said "You call yourself a doctor?"I said "This is true."
She said "Explain to me really what doctors must do."
I said "This is very rare because I don't say this every day
There's a million medical skills a doctor displays
Dermatology is treatment of the skin
Infected and you'll see me and you'll know you're again
There's enthesiology, opthomology
Internal medicine and plastic surgery
Orpedic surgery and pathology
A disease involves a change of the body."
She said "Ooooh, that's very unique."
Gave me her number and kissed me on the cheek
She said she had to go but be back by 8
So to call her at 9 to arrange a date


Did you take her to the beach?


That's what we planned
But she stood me up, Roxanne, Roxanne

Chorus


And here's our gameplan


The beat is here, so we will reveal it


And if you think it's soft, then Roxanne feel it!

I taped it, wrote it down on notebook paper and memorized it. I remember my pops found the folded up sheet of notebook paper and confronted me with it. He was like "since when you start playing around with fuckin guns?". I always thought that was funny, because he completely skipped over the "on my last album cover" part.

the only other rap song I've been able to memorize is Jay-Z's "P.S.A." which I rap to myself to pass time waiting for rides, busses, what have you. Great time killer, love those bars. But I can't believe how many raps some people have memorized, especially rappers themselves. That's so many goddamn words!

Posted by k0la, Mon Dec-16-13 05:40 PM
somehow, in-between whatever math i was doing and my little language arts and ish, i made it a point to memorize wu 'triumph' soon after i saw the music video. i mean, i was like 11, and my older cousin used to jam enter the 36 and stuff.vi remember him showing me wu videos on his old windows 95 pc, but 'triumph' was my first independent engagement of the wu. the lack of structure, EVERYBODY going in, that hard-ass BASS, the sheer length of the song...all of that seemed so new to me when i first heard it. i had to own it, in my mind.

so i did. back day, i would've went deck to rae/ghost no problem, and with minimal missteps. i still remember a lot of it, but it's not in my heart as it was at first listen.

probably either:

2862191, Something on Doggystyle.
Posted by Brew, Wed Dec-18-13 03:44 PM
Probably either What's My Name (being the first single) or Lodi Dodi (being the song we all rapped on the bus on the way to basketball games at that time. Listened to a ton of rap before that but never really went out of my way to memorize any full songs. But then Doggystyle changed everything as I memorized the entire album (including skits), and can still recite it front to back to this day. Now I probably have like 1,000 rap songs memorized, not even a lie. Full albums by Common and Snoop, and countless songs by Outkast/De La/Tribe/everyone else.

"I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24?" He was like "this is horrible, he's worried about making it to 24? What kind of life is he living?"

I'm 12 years old reciting:

Straight outta Compton!
crazy motherfucker named Ice Cube
From the gang called Niggaz With Attitudes
When I'm called off, I got a sawed off
Squeeze the trigger, and bodies are hauled off
You too boy if you fuck with me
The police are gonna hafta come and get me
Off yo ass, that's how I'm goin out
For the punk motherfuckers that's showin out
Niggaz start to mumble, they wanna rumble
Mix em up, cook em in a pot like gumbo
Goin off on a motherfucker like that
with a gat, that's pointed at yo ass
So give it up smooth
Ain't no tellin when I'm down for a jack move
Here's a murder rap to keep ya'll dancin
with a crime record like Charles Manson
AK-47 is the tool
Don't make me act a motherfuckin fool
Me and you can go toe to toe, no maybe
I'm knockin niggaz out tha box, daily
yo weekly, monthly, and yearly
until them dumb motherfuckers see clearly
that I'm down, with the capital C-P-T
Boy you can't fuck with me
So when I'm in your neighborhood, you better duck
cuz Ice Cube, is crazy as fuck
As I leave, believe I'm stompin
but when I come back, boy, I'm comin straight outta Compton

I had to hide the tape from moms

TOUCHDOOOWN!!!


3003829, hard to remember the exact first
Posted by beatnik, Mon Apr-09-18 02:32 PM
but in middle school I started printing out lyrics for songs I didn't have on CD or that weren't in the liner notes so its probably

"Hows it Going Down"
"Rosa Parks"
"Find a Way"
or "I Wonder if heavens gotta ghetto"

I can say that The Love Movement, All Eyez on Me, and Aquemini are the first albums I memorized and could rap to in their entirety
3003830, Raising Hell - RUN DMC, Santa's Rap - Treacherous Three

and Wild Wild West ~ Kool Moe Dee.. pretty much within a year or so of them coming out.


many years later it was some Cypress Hill joints lick a shot, let the gat hum and cock the hammer.
