Greatest / Most Creative Rhyme in Rock / Pop?

Nirvana - smells like teen spirit.

I'm worse at what I do best

And for this gift I feel blessed

Our little group has always been

And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how low? [x3]

Hello, hello, hello!

Agreed 100%. That was f*cking weird as hell to read some of those posts that had ZERO rhymes in them at all! Or some mediocre rhymes, not any great or creative rhymes.

As far as good stuff goes, I remember an Eminem rhyme:

I'm buzzin', Dirty Dozen, naughty rotten rhymer,

Cursin' at you players more than Marty Schottenheimer...

And one song that is absolutely chock-full of scintillating rhymes, some brilliant and hilarious, is "Gangster of Love" by The Geto Boys. Incredible!

"I can't make love to you because you're 14"

The vandals

She was tall, thin and tarty

And she drove a Maserati

Faster than sound

Ooh, I was heaven bound

Rod Stewart "Italian Girls" 1972 (album track on "Never A Dull Moment")

A Tribe Called Quest:

Steve Biko:

"Yo I'll take it back I'm the indian giver,

MC's take note as I stand and deliver

Jazz (We Got )

Just like Ringling brothers, I amaze and Astound

Captivate the mass cause the verse is profound

WU TANG

Triumph

I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies

And hypotheses can't define how I be droppin' these

And what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?

And what'll you do now my darling young one?

I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin'

I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest

Where the people are a many and their hands are all empty

Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters

Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison

And the executioner's face is always well hidden

Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten

Where black is the color, where none is the number

And I'll tell and speak it and think it and breathe it

And reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it

And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin'

But I'll know my song well before I start singing

And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard

It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

All aboard Brenda's iron sledge

Please don't call me Reg

(It's not my name)

'Petty Sessions' by Half Man Half Biscuit

I ring up Dial-A-Pizza

I ring up Dial-A-Pizza

I ring up Dial-A-Pizza

And say that’s not how I would spell “Hawaiian”

What do you get when you kiss a guy?

You get enough germs to catch pneumonia

After you do, he'll never phone ya

I'll never fall in love again

Dontcha know that I'll never fall in love again?

Swingin' in the living room

Swingin' in the kitchen

Most folks don't 'cause

They're too busy bitchin'

Swingin' in there 'cause

She wanted me to feed her

So I mixed up the batter

And she licked the beater

Warrant - Cherry Pie

"F^ck you, I won't do what you tell me." - RATM

"Hit me clown because I'm not from your town, now hit me clown

Clown you ain't shit, turn around got your face split." - KORN

Rock it rock it baby baby

rock it rock it more

rock it rock it baby baby

rock it rock it dance floor

5. 4. 3. 2. 1.

take this house to the - maximum

from the greatest hit single in the history of all of Ireland, ever. Eat it, Bono.

"You consider me the young apprentice

Caught between the Scylla and Charybdis"

middle of song with some great lines... finally leads to the zinger:

"I will turn your face to alabaster

When you'll find your servant is your master"

"Working in the fields,

Baby you get your back burned,

Working N'eath The Wheels,

Baby you get your facts learned,

And Baby I got my facts......learned real good right now,"

"Billy Mack is a detective down in Texas

You know he knows just exactly what the facts is

He ain't gonna let those two escape justice

He makes his livin' off of other people's taxes"

-Steve Miller

Conspiring in the gloom of sacred rooms

Lurk camouflaged mullahs and hooded priests

Scorned and spurned by heathens who scream,

"It's faith and belief that empower the beasts!"

"You gotta learn to crawl, before you learn to walk "

Taken in context of the original post, you can reasonably deduce that the full lyric should be taken into consideration. Duh.
