The difference between general rap and true hip-hop, especially underground, comes from two things as far as I can tell. First there is a much more depth and musicality to the background music. Second comes from the intelligence of the lyrics and the content as well.

It's true I'm really just trying to make myself sound smarter than I really am. But really, the second that you hear a true underground song, the difference is obvious.

I thought about this because I heard an awesome line and it needs to be shared. Then I thought I may as well start a series of all of my favorite lyrics. However, I don't have them written down, so it may be a post as I hear them thing.

"I was born flirtatious/ jumped out my mom and kissed the nurses faces/ skipped over first base." Hat and Shoes by Musab

I literally laughed out loud. Hope you enjoy these as they come.
