Was walking home today from Work and Mos "Re; Defintion came up" Lyrical handsome! Huhu.. Lol one of the most best opening QUOTE

One of the best lyricist of all time. Saw an Game thread earlier for being underrated but i'd Say Mos Def > Game.

Where you rank him , and whats you fav songs\features and so on. Any fun story?
 
What, lyrically handsome, call collect a king's ransom
Jams I write soon become the ghetto anthem
Way out like Bruce Wayne's mansion, move like a phantom
You'll talk about me to your grandsons
Cats who claiming they hard be mad fag
So I run through em like, flood water through sandbags
Competition is mad, what I got, they can't have
Sinking they ship, like Moby Dick, did Ahab
Son I'm way past the minimum, enter a millennium
Where cats will hold a gat to your back, like Palestinians
Ancient Abyssinian, try to ? the ?
Official b-boy gentlemen won't turn off at the interim
Born inside the winter one, day after December 10
These simpletons they mentioning the synonym for feminine
Sweeter than some cinnamon or danish rings by entammen
Rush up on adrenaline, and get they asses sent to them
(Gentlemen) you got tenement, well then assemble it!
Leave your unit trembling like herds of moving elephant
Intelligent embellishment, follow for your element
From Flatbush settlement, SKIN possess melanin
Hotter than tales of crack peddlin, making 'em woop
Like blue gelatin, swing like Duke Ellington
Broader than Barrington Levy, believe me
The hot oppression rent who burn down your chief tepee
You see me?

United States
No love, no breaks
Low brow, high stakes
Crack smoke, Black folks
Big Macs
Fat folks
Ecstasy capsules
Presidential scandals
Everybody MOVE!

2 words
Mos Def, K West
Hot shit
Calm down, get back
Ghetto people got this
Game ball lock shit
Gun 'pon cock shit
We won't stop shit
Everybody MOVE!

Two hard, too hungry
Too many, that's why
These streets know game
Can't ball, don't play
Every traffic, one lane
Everybody MOVE!

2 words, Mos Def, K West
Hot shit
Calm down, get back
Ghetto people got this
Game ball lock shit
Gun 'pon cock shit
Embassy 2 Roc
Everybody MOVE!
