Rock vs rap - Ye ole debate

[Nantuko Joe]

no the hell it aint look at chopsuey. A friend who like that group had to write the lyrics down for me, just to know what they are saying

You're joking, right? I listened to the song ONCE, and I knew what they were saying.

You want to know songs where one can't figure out what the hell they're saying? Tell me that you immediately knew what the hell Outkast was sayin in "Bombs over Bagdad" (they talk faster than the guys at the end of car commercials) and Sean Paul's "Gimme the Light." (all I could understand was something about a massage, I think).

This makes no since and plus the name of the song, im always like were they get that from? What does it mean?
now look at this still fly by big tymers

I believe they're talking about abuse in part of it, and how it's often hiden by people that don't want it to be noticed.

What about this, please explain this to me:

In-slum-national, underground
Thunder pounds when I stomp the ground (Woo!)
Like a million elephants with silverback orangutans
You can't stop a train
Who want some? Don't come un-pre-pared
I'll be there, but when I leave there
Better be a household name
Weather man tellin' us it ain't gon' rain
So now we sittin' in a drop-top, soakin wet
In a silk suit, tryin' not to sweat
Hits somersaults without the net
But this'll be the year that we won't forget
One-Nine-Nine-Nine, and brutha anything goes, be whatchu wanna be
Long as you know consequences are given for livin - the fence is
too high to jump in jail
Too low to dig, I might just touch hell - HOT!
Get a life, now they gon' sell
Then I might catch you a spell, look at what came in the mail
A scale and some Arm and Hammer, so grow grid and some baby m
