This is the first one that came up and it isn't THAT heavily violin based but its a good song none the less...I skip to the second verse and start contemplating ****

[RidonKs]

[pete's montreux]

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

Twista Overnight celebrity and Kanye Flashing Lights

I despise Twista's obese f*ckin gass, the hideous female in the video that plays the violin, and the ambiguous lyrics to Kanye's F.L. However, that girl was banging.

Post Quality: 2/10
Post Effort: 6/10
Verdict: Acceptable Advice
End Result: Mr. Basketball #1 earns -1 respect point from Master JM.

Breaker Braeker already a fav.

[Mr_Basketball#1]

I don't like the overnight celeb song either.

[50inchvertical]

damn near all of Kanye's ****.

Nearly all of Jedi Mind Tricks...particularly Violent by Design

Heavenly Divine is MONEY for this (off that album).

All their beats are so sick. Another that comes to mind off that album is Trinity.

I would like to see additional recs people come up with...violin is hands down the sickest instrument used in hip-hop and HIGHLY under-utilized.

EDIT: Also this popular youtube vid:

[OneBeLo]
Yo, you wack bastards, you wanna know how I killed your fathers
On the battlefield I grab the steel like William Wallace
A +Braveheart+ swingin my sword's a work of art
Every verse I spark, deserve the Purple Heart
You can't get with the, cold temperature
OneBeLo'll turn a wack artist purple like the Arctic Circle
Frostbit from the words I spit
You ain't got enough raps/wraps in your first-aid kit
to treat yourself, too late, you chose your fate
You beat yourself, cumin like you *********e
And I won't hesitate to embarrass ya
Cause on the microphone you +Do-little+, like Eddie Murphy's character
The only paraphernalia I need to rock the spot
is one hip-hop fan, and it don't stop (it's all I need)
Without a mic, without a beat, or a DJ (I don't need that, I don't need that)
Without a pen, pad, without a blunt, a fifth of E&J (I don't need that)
Without a doubt I still turn it out without a de-lay
On a track to beat your whole team without a relay
Without a problem, so don't expect nothin lesser
Droppin hip-hop, I blow spots like Uncle Fester
