Bragging about your latest purchase or dropping a snide reference to the newest fashion craze is thoroughly ingrained in hip hop's DNA. Unfortunately, the super cool and super hip of today quickly becomes the laughably outdated and snicker-worthy name drop of tomorrow. Here are some prime examples of rappers who probably wish they could go back and find a new rhyme for "hyper."
10. "Encore" by Jay-Z
"I'm in Boeing jets, Global Express/Out the country but the Blueberry still connect"
9. "Last Wordz" by 2Pac
"Dan Quayle, don't you know you need to get your ass kicked/Where was you when there was niggas in the caskets?"
8. "Buddy" by De La Soul
"When it comes to me and Jenny I seem/Very serious/Like a Peek Frean"
7. "What's Up, Doc?" by Fu Schnickens (featuring Shaquille O'Neal)
"I'm the hooper/the hyper/Protected by Viper"
6. "My Adidas" by Run DMC
My Adidas/walked through concert doors/and roamed all over Coliseum floors/I stepped on stage, at Live Aid/All the people gave and the poor got paid."
5. "Doggy Dog World" by Snoop Dogg
"I'm hearin' motherfuckers tryin' to steal my flow/But it ain't no thang cause see my nigga Coolio/Put me up on the game when I step through the door"
4. "Hip Hop Hooray" by Naughty By Nature
"That way I shout out and I didn't miss one friend/Fools get foolish neither them or Parker Lewis knew us."
3. "It Was a Good Day" by Ice Cube
"Drunk as hell but no throwin' up/Halfway home and my pager's still blowin' up"
2. "Bring the Pain" by Method Man
"In your Cross Colour, clothes you've crossed over/Then got Totally Krossed Out and Kris Kross"
1. "Juicy" by The Notorious B.I.G
"Super Nintendo/Sega Genesis/When I was dead broke, man, I couldn't picture this."
