Pharoahe Monch - "Evolve"
I've only heard W.A.R. once, but I gotta give it more listens 'cause Pharoahe's a lyrical giant. One of my favorite MCs on the planet. The beat on this track is laid back and has some soul to it, as it really is a backdrop for Pharoahe to rip the mic apart for 2 and half minutes. Great lines on this song, including "Grade school mathematics examining thugs/They discuss bloods, crips, techs, jammin' and drugs/I speak of world peace, war, famine and flood/Watchin' Pan's Labyrinth while I'm unraveling bud/Gambling on the next rapper to die in the hood" and my favorite "And pardon if it sounds a little wheezy/Not Wayne, motherfuckers I got asthma, it's not easy/Shotgun lyrical, cock back, squeeze me/Women case my anatomy, touch me, tease me." That shit is so ill!
