Fav Lyric: "If you die tell em that you played my game. I hope your bulletholes become mouths to say my name." -Lupe Fiasco "Put You On The Game"
This song is just so powerful and flows so well and ends on such a memorable line (this one.) The song meaning is up for interpretation but it is believed to be a song about the devil/evil and this last line is basically telling if evil is the death of you, it killing you can make it even more powerful, or something along those lines. Thats whats so great about Lupe is you can take the line for what you may but you know it is great nonetheless.
Wack Lyric: "Respect come from admiration and fear. You can admire me or you can catch one in your wig." -50 Cent "I'll Still Kill"
I was looking for a quick wack lyric so i immediately picked a random song from Curtis and found a shit ton of them, this one coming first. First of all, how is "wig" supposed to rhyme with "fear"? Theres no way it can, even if you twist it. The rhyme starts out pretty cool, with a nice statement "Respect come from admiration and fear" then finishes with a line that borders on "was that a serious line or is he trying to be funny?" It was serious.

Every day I will post a favorite lyric or line: something that is clever, memorable, meaningful, powerful, funny, or just something that seems cool to me, and I'll include a little interpretation of it. They don't have to be hip hop lyrics, either. Also, for fun, I will usually post a terrible lyric under it just so we all can laugh at it and be amazed it made into a song. Comment on this with some favorite/terrible lyrics of your own if you like.
sorry to put this out there but your interpretation is a slightly incorrect; and yes there is a definite meaning behind it. lupe fiasco has 4 characters in his concept album, the cool: michael young history, the cool, the game, and the streets. you can look more into it, but the game is a character who represents the music industry, or as many rappers refer to as the game. The Game is the corporate evil and the song is from the persepctive of him. look into it, it's really good stuff.
