What better way to start of the new year than a salute to lyricists. Elzhi, Pharohe, Phonte, Royce? No. The Nutcracker. Yes Melachi of Group Home, who else has provided us with more classic lines?
Bell or Rogers, two evil empires screwing us all. We’ll let P tell you the story, and AR is being screwed and doesn’t even know it. Ahhhh system access fees.
I wonder if Nutcracker knows how classic his own shit is.
Help me out people. Did we miss any key Nutcracker lines???
Aiyo, I’m comin up, I’m runnin up like a soldier
I thought I told you, punks, I controlled ya
I’m strong like a boulder, ready to fold ya
I treat you like a new born puppy and scold ya!
Okay Nutcracker was on some wierd ass rhymes but still u guys never bound to seize me!! Couple of weeks ago me and keezey were talkin about verses that never made sense!!! I think you guys should come up with a top 10 verses that never made sense!
Oh yeah on parents giving us licks, man coming from a european background, I would get the licks at the Mall in front of random shoppers if I would act up with my parents or the classic to me is when back in the day when me and the fam would go visit aunt and uncles for any type of shin dig and if my cousins would do all the bad shit like cause chaos me and my older bro would be the first ones to get it. So the tools of the lick a beat down trade while growing up was…The Slipper, The Wooden Spoon *at least 4inches thick*, dad’s construction steel toe boot, grandmas cane, any shoe that you mom or dad could get to…or the classic ol fashioned bare back hand!
Oh and Arcee with your Telus problem all u need is to threaten them that your leaving and Retention will def help u out!!!
Dude, steel toe boot! I thought I had it bad damn! We used to do when lyrics go bad, we should put together a top ten that’ll be dope.
LOL @ “The Wooden Spoon *at least 4inches thick*”, that was the minimum requirement eh haha. Comin’ up in Bulgaria, I got plenty of licks, although my parents used more traditional weapons like a belt lol, yalls fam are mad creative. I only attended grade 1 in Bulgaria until I moved here but during that year my ass got well-acquainted with with the wooden paddle.
The Belt i was very well acquainted with truss me I well never forget when my old man couldnt find a belt but for some strange reason he found my older brothers harly davidson belt which the buckle had a huge eagle on it and its thick of full steel metal and licked me hard boyeee….Truss me Porkchop parents were fierce….Here’s a little story for y’all…
I remember back in the day when I was 8 and my older bro was like 12 years old and my older bro had a habit a “four finger” discount of getting NES games. He used to cop at least 5 games a week and he was flawless of getting em. So one day me and my homie we at good ol “Towers” @ Galleria Mall up on Dufferin St and seen this NES game jus sitting in a section where none of NES games are usually are and I remember clearly it was Uncle Fester from The Addams Family on the cover.
So I see it there and I rush home to tell my older bro that its there and me and him go and go try and FOUR FINGER discount it. So funny enough we try and my bro gets caught and I myself got caught with him. So after getting interrogated by the PO PO, they drive me and my bro home. While on the ride home the cops told my brother my parents have been notified about what happened and we lived on Ossington and all of the nieghbourhood is out there.
When me and my bro get out the cop car, the cop hands me and my bro to my parents and right there and then, my old man takes out the belt and licks a few shots on me and my bro right in front of the cop. Meanwhile back in the ranch, the cop is standing there not doing anything and my neighbours are pointing and thinking that we just murdered someone but all we did was get caught for stealing a game!!!! But yeah that’s one I won’t forget! Hope you like that one fellas.
DAMN QUACKAS! I feel your pain hommie!!
I had a similar thing happen when I got caught teefing a Public Enemy sweatshirt from Erin Mills Town Centre while I was skipping class – cop walked me back to my science class – everyone was like oooooh……LOL……I wasn’t laughing by the time I got home…..Licks Licks Licks boy run ya backside….
not a big fan of Nutcracker at all.
Actually, he and Dap were sufficient over those Premier gems…but those are some of Premier’s best work going to… those guys?
I haven’t peeped the episode yet, but I will… But I wonder how Dap and Mal feel about Premier openly admitting that he wished he could give those beats to someone else {for lack of better phrasing)
Nutcracker lyrics (or lack thereof) are classic!!! But if you really, really want to explore some classic wack shit…….The 4 Horsemen by Ultramagnetic MCs. The Nutcracker sounds like Rakim compared to the combo of Ced Gee and Kool Keith. Just like the Group Home album the production is Stellar and the lyrics are pure comedy. Half of the time Kool Keith doesn’t even rhyme and Ced Gee’s flow was like Otis Thorpe’s hoop game……..maaaad robotic son!!!
“Two brothers with checks, yo that caddy is flyyyyy, San Fransico, Harvey……”
The defense rests….
^^I think Kool Keith gets a pass cause he’s nuts.
I was walking to Union from work listening to this with the biggest grin on my face. Lil Dap released an album around summer 2008…Nutcracker’s reading Dr. Seuss volumes with a look like “damn i wish i knew about these 20 years ago”.
Wu-Tang members had some issues with pronunciation…off the top of my head i can think of these gems
Killah Priest: has said Minilium (millennium) more times then i can count
Raekwon: Japan to Atlanta with Stanima (stamina)
Rza: Big ass in tight demin (denim) and one of my favorites…the most benelevent (benevolent) king
as for beats…parents being from india you know they threw down! Public beats may be the worst thing ever. I was at my cousins house and we went for a bike ride against my parents wishes (we had to leave soon cause other family was coming over to our place)…my parents drove around my cousins area looking for me…found me, moms got out the car and beat me off the bike. People out washing their cars, watering the plants, kids playing hopscotch…and there’s this big dopey peach fuzz mustached kid getting beats from a woman that’s just over 5 feet tall.
Mind games are nasty too…i was like 6, on summer vacation (grandfather watching us) and i was bothering my sister non stop. She told on me as soon as moms walked through the door from work. Moms paused for a few seconds with her eyes closed and said to me “son, go get me shoe from the closet”, not thinking about anything i thought “ok, mom asked me to get some shoes”…I picked out a pair of her heeled shoes and brought them over to her. I handed them over to her, and as soon as she said “just one will do”…BRRAP…she hit me in the face with the heel of her shoe. When my dad got home he saw this big mark on my face and asked how i did that to myself…i told him and he said “shabash puttar” which translates to “well done son”.
STANIMA!!!!!
LOL @ “beat me off the bike”, the Otis Thorpe reference, and Stanima, yall are klling me with the comments. Raekwon says random shit all the time too, “Numerous cattttss”.
“Throw the relish in ya back pocket ”
“Although he wasn’t from Panama, we asked him how’d he get so dark ? The nigga said Sun tanima!!!
Greg Nice has some classics too.
Don’t get me started on our hip hop spelling bee champ K – Solo…….y’all know the line.
Oh shit! Greg Nice! OMG, he’s got tons. Solo mis-spelling? that’s unpossible.
Like a B-R-I-D in the S-K-Y!!!!!
classic material!
that was hilarious. i got a couple of comments:
1. i’m beginning to think that the nutcracker wasn’t just a bad rapper, but just wasn’t a particularly bright guy to begin with.
2. i actually remember the “graduation hat guy” from EC that Arcee mentioned. he wasn’t a bad dancer if i remember correctly. however, the classic EC dancer would have to be Kenrick. i remember the girls used clown him in elementary school. he actually was signed and put out an album during the EC days. it would be interesting to see if anyone could actually dig some of that stuff up.

How about this – “There’s 3 of us but we’re not the Beatles…” – Run DMC
Let’s see…
George Harrison
Paul McCartney
Ringo Starr
John Lennon
I’m no math whiz… but come on Run!
how could i forget run. amazing.
i got a couple:
1. on “the matrix” sean price says “… n***s rappin’ ’bout daffodils, tree hugger! …”, but for the life of me I can’t think of one mc who’s kickin’ that environmental rap.
2. on “my philosophy” kris says “… see how i sound – a little unrational, a lot a MCs like to use the word drammatical …”. now neither “unrational” nor “drammatical” are words that exist in the english language, but even if “drammatical” existed, have you ever heard an MC use that word?

That KRS one is classic! Especially for a guy who calls himself the ‘Teacher’.
Hollerate!
