    Sayin'. The only number whose squared value is double the original value is 2.

    Yo Nas, 1 Nightmare squared = 1 Nightmare.
    Ask Wu-Tang 'bout those mathamatics, doggie.

    Speaking of Wu-Tang, with all that super-mathamatical-science they kick, they've gotta have got some shit wrong, or does RZA review their lyrics for correct mathematics and vocab or what (nerds in HS?).

    Let's not forget the lyrical chestnut that is Phife saying he floats like gravity.

    Great line.

    Because gravity, unlike other forces, exerts force instantaneously, you could describe it as floating.

    In other words even though the source of our gravity is earth, You will feel the force instantly miles above earth.
    Whereas electrical force travels only at the speed of light.

    Sorry, can't explain it better than that.

    Even on just a metaphysical level it is a great lyric.

    I can't believe the level of nitpicking people are going here.
    I suppose it's just fun, and what we do best any way.

    Here is one:
    "Take care of TCB"
    Redundant.

    James Brown Make It Funky "smothered snake". He's a repeat offender for screwed up lyrics, but he kept it funky.

    Hey,

    Don't forget Jeru's "16th Chapel" line in "Black Cowboys" :oof: . Um, it's called the "Sistine Chapel."

    Peace,

    I feel like we might be overthinking Phife Dawg. After learning a bit about the man's diet and overall health practices in that Tribe documentary, I highly doubt that he "never had a cavity," as he claimed in the next line.

    Great bad rhymes would make a good thread too.
    Gravity with Cavity.

    In case no one caught this, it's from "It Takes TWO."

    From R. Kelly - At The Same Time:

    I'm on top of you, making you feel it
    I look up in the mirror, and see that ass in the ceiling

    Doesn't this imply he's checking out his own ass in the mirror?

    Hey 1000fm,

    It sounds like she's on top and he's looking up at the booty on the ceiling mirror.

    remember, this is someone who when scouting high school basketball players decides to wear a two piece purple Elmo child mollestro costume.

    Rapaport's? I don't remember that part. I remember arguing and De La Soul wishing they would go somewhere else.

    Even better, he said he runs laps around the English Channel.

    Similarly, on "Holy Rum Swig," Brother J spells out X-Clan as "X-C-A-L, on to the N"

    Can't find a screen shot but from a review.........

    "Nevertheless, this is one of the best hip-hop documentaries ever made. I challenge you not to laugh at Phife dressed with a Cookie Monster t-shirt and matching blue hat or at every other thing Pharrell says. ItÔÇÖs a celebration of alternative hip-hop culture and the music that came from the minds of a few kids playing with their parentÔÇÖs record collections."

    It's a good doc.
