Young MC - "Stone Cold Rhymin'"

[INF]

This shit is highly underrated. Dust Brothers and Young MC did they thing on this. I got it playing right now and I'm hype. I'm about halfway thru the album right now. I done had this since it came out and I always re-visit for tracks like "roll with the punches" and "I come off" etc etc.


Dude got a bad rap for having "clean raps" but fuck that shit , this cat was a wordsmith.

Here are some tuff ass cuts from this album











Now from planet to planet, and from star to star

It doesn't really matter, baby, just who you are

And from Earth to solar system, and to galaxy

It's real hard to get a ticket to hear Young MC

Because I rock like a professional, this ain't no lark

You either hear me at a party, or you see me in the park

I rocked the many places far away from my home

I guess that must be the reason why I'm so well known

I rocked from Iowa to Idaho, Canada to Mexico

I came into the place, you party people, just to let you know

My name is the Young MC, ladies want to come to me

And when they're in my arms, the ladies never ever front on me

Thinkin that you know the deal, boy, why don't you be for real

I love to rock the mic, and sometimes even rock the wheels of steel

Rock the place without a doubt, now I'm gonna turn it out

So listen very close, so I can tell you that it's all about

RHYMES



More RHYMES

Party people, I'm the Young MC, and I got RHYMES

Let me tell you something

Young MC got more RHYMES



[ VERSE 2 ]

Now with a voice like this I rock so well

But I'm not Prince, [COLOR=orange ! important][COLOR=orange ! important]Lionel [COLOR=orange ! important]Richie[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR], or Patti Labelle

I'm not the Cars, the [COLOR=orange ! important][COLOR=orange ! important]Pretenders[/COLOR][/COLOR], or the B-52's

My name is Young MC, and I'm the one you should choose

Cause when the [COLOR=orange ! important][COLOR=orange ! important]music[/COLOR][/COLOR] comes in, the beat starts thumpin

And I'm the only man to keep the girlies high jumpin

I'm the doctor on the mic, and yes, I'm so sure

That all you need is one visit, then you'll be cured

Cause in the game of [COLOR=orange ! important][COLOR=orange ! important]rap[/COLOR][/COLOR] I am the referee

When the others need help, they'll come to me

Like Judge Joe Wapner on the _People's Court_

My name is Young MC, rockin on the mic is my sport

And now you know, just from those 12 lines

That a fella like me never falls behind

Cause I'm the cream of the crop, and the leader of the pack

Once you give me the mic, you know there's no turnin back

Because I got more rhymes then the other guys do

They're just a monkey, I'm the whole damn zoo

I can't use a book, I use a hefty bag

Because they're just a string, I'm the American flag

I got more rhymes than water seen by a sailor

More than husbands of [COLOR=orange ! important][COLOR=orange ! important]Elizabeth [COLOR=orange ! important]Taylor[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]

More than Babe Ruth has hit home runs

Yo, my name is Young MC, so go out there and have some fun

With RHYMES



More RHYMES

I gotta tell you something

Young MC got RHYMES

Party people, I got more RHYMES



Bust it



[ VERSE 3 ]

RHYMES - what are these things that I talk about?

Hear them in the walkman everytime you wanna walk about

Never lost a battle in which I fought

And if rhyme was a crime, I'd never get caught

I had to go to college, because I am an intellectual

I only sleep with women, cause I am heterosexual

Rock the microphone anyplace, anytime

That's why I had to write a jam and call it Got More Rhymes

Now as a consequence of this

I'd like to make some sense of this

And tell the party people all the reasons that I sent you this

RHYME that I continue to say

School starts in September, graduation in May

And when I graduate RHYMES'll keep comin

Girls try to flock and jock, but stop bummin

Cause I'm the kinda guy that you never wanna toy with

And now you know that I'm talkin about the boy with

RHYMES



More RHYMES

When you say Young MC, you are sayin RHYMES

Party people, Young MC got more RHYMES

Yeah

which year is this from?? i gotta say giving 3 stars to something you feel has three good tracks is nuts, that would warrant a 1 or 2 star rating from me.
