about
Chicago, IL emcee Sonny Blanco and Columbus, OH producer/emcee Lord Hakim serve up some golden era boom bap with "The Greatest", the third single from their forthcoming album "Immaculate". In a nod to the basement beat tapes of the mid 90s, Lord Hakim utilizes a gritty drum break, a soulful voice loop, and a hilarious sample of Talladega Night's Rickey Bobby proclaiming to "piss excellence" to produce the sonic backdrop for him and Sonny Blanco's verse for verse demonstration on why they deserve a place among Hip Hop's lyrical elite.
lyrics
The Greatest
(Sonny Blanco)
Picture perfect a reason to wear tuxedo
Can't see my Jordan's in photos I'm rocking polos
Zone out you haters and a knock it down like free throws
Elevation, congratulations, my graduation
From the back of the bus to now I'm rocking front rows
From a snot nose to the man with rhymes I'm chose
I pose with the microphone like pictures get close
Pitchers of beers with all my close bros
Kush mania I remember lighting up dros
Come outside like I'm in the pros
I'm from the wild like Irish rose
Mom from Englewood like Derrick Rose
I celebrate I survived that night on Cottage Grove
And like the prom king I give my girl a rose
We the center of attention now we touching center folds
Waiting on the limousine, damn I wish I drove
(Lord Hakim)
Live and direct yo it's Lord Hakim
I spit a rhyme then whoop yo ass like Muhammad Ali
I'm the magnificent, and that's word to Saladin
Known as the dirty groove merchant with a MPC
Heavy weighter wit a flow that's known to attack beats
Strictly flavor, I spike the track like track meets
Kid, who you playin don't get out ya body
If you reach I'll fire man & catch a body
No net, I make a promise, never threat
And If I see you, I promise that you'll never forget
I'm off the handle like CSI lifting prints
So don't get lifted, like the smoke from the frankincense
The God drop jewels like I fuck wit a fence
Live wire, barb wire go on and fuck wit the fence
Speak with sense or be spoken upon in past tense
Fuck around & get wrote off like a business expense
