The 69 Most Pause-Worthy Lyrics In Hip-Hop History
Pause (pôz) intj. 1. An interjection used to acknowledge or clarify an unintentional erotic, or homo-erotic, double-entendre. Not to be confused with its popular heterosexual counterpart “That’s What She Said.”
Sure, we’ve all put a foot in our mouth*. It happens, no biggie*. But for some reason, straight rappers—despite all their uber-masculine machismo—seem to be especially prone to slips of the tongue*.
So, for your pleasure* (and ours*), team Complex put our heads together* and dug into the annals* of rap to find the 69* greatest lyrical boners* buried in hip-hop history, retroactively relieving these MCs* from any sensual scrutiny*. For more penetrating* insight, we propositioned* the Twitter sensations known as Pause Police to get behind us* and give us a hand* by issuing stiff* sentences to each MC (Click here to buy Pause Police T-shirts and stickers*, kids!). Read on to find out which rappers are on top*, which ones are on bottom*, and who’s in pole position*. We went hard*, so savor our package!*
*…pause!
#69:
“Baby boy, go hire a squadron / My crib got more poles than a fire department.”
-Cam’ron “Cookies & Apple Juice”
COMPLEX SAYS: Cam’s on fire! Quick, somebody douse him!
*Officer Nohomo Note: Cam is the O.G of Pause, nohomo, so he has Diplomatic immunity
————————————————————————————————————————————————————
#68:
“I should have blown this mic like I said I might / Got the force of 20 men like a Jedi Knight.”
-Kwamé “The Rhythm”
COMPLEX SAYS: Any George Lucas junkie knows that Obi Wan’s head game was vicious—just ask Chewy.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————
#67:
“Dick suckin’ lips, why won’t you let the late great veteran live?”
-Nas “Ether”
COMPLEX SAYS: So that’s why they call it Queensbridge!

NotoriousLover(pause) June 3, 2009 at 7:27 am
From wickedest. MY MAN(pause)B.I.G had to many pause worthy lines.
“Niggas say im pussy? I dare you to stick your dick in this..”
“Big pleases, MC’s across the seas
is just the way I clutch my prey”
“Blowin niggaz out the frame, simple and plain”
“Y’all niggaz hold y’all heads”
Dead Wrong
“Hardcore,I got it sucked like a pussy”
ty statz June 3, 2009 at 9:42 am

makaveli June 3, 2009 at 10:03 am

Crystaleyez June 3, 2009 at 12:30 pm
I am sorry…I laughed my way through them all but you all forgot a classic set of lines from Eightball on “The First Episode”
[Verse 4: Eightball]
I’m big as a motherfucker, I don’t look fast
But I’ll jump up quick, and stick my dick in yo ass
And for you niggaz that talk shit, don’t step too quick
You know who got my back, a clip full of hollow tips
Tec, 9 millimeter, glock or 22
Mafia style, don’t even fuck with the pimpsta crew
Bust the yak and pass me that bud sack
Cause niggaz with nuts, can’t even fuck with the fat mac
craze June 3, 2009 at 9:25 pm
what about tha one papoose said..i forget witch song but this man sed…”knowledge is food for thought so i wisely swallow”..made me stop for a second n play it back like damnn

what about 50 cent- niggas say im homophobic shit/ come through the hood mad niggas on my dick
Complex707 June 4, 2009 at 2:08 am
That N2DEEP line is “Gotta get some new COT”
Cot is local slang for pussy dumbass. Whoever wrote this misinterpreted 99% of this shit.
Jackie Frost June 4, 2009 at 7:51 pm
It ain’t really gay if you analyze the track and his verse, but the beginning of Papoose’s verse on Hi-Tek’s “Where It Started At” could be on here too.
“All I got is my word and my nuts, man, I got Brooklyn in my balls/
So you can see BedStuy if you lookin in my drawers/”
Its a raw intro to me, but if you ain’t careful you could really end up lookin at Pap twice for that 1 lol
Kev 1200 June 4, 2009 at 10:26 pm
#17 He said COT. Pussy. Just like Conplex 707 said. Its bay lingo and pimps say it all the time.
Kev 1200 June 4, 2009 at 10:33 pm
Where the line in “Get at me dowg where DMX told K-Solo to suck his dick? Biggie got more gay lines than that and he meant them to be too.
mr shaft June 5, 2009 at 5:21 am
Where are kanye young berg and bow wow
skateboardg June 5, 2009 at 5:11 pm
lol guru the pauseworthiest m.c.
“Mc’s wanna be me so they keep askin
for me to teach ‘em methods both slow and fast”
“so suckers realize that the size is too large when I come through I’m pullin’ whole crews cards”
“I wonder do you love it enough I’m steppin’ rugged and tough, never to front or to bluff
I got the fresh cut baldy, the brothers call me
Guru the man”
“I slide up to a crab mc like this
Tap ‘em in the head with my mic like this”
“And I insist that if you persist then you get creamed, ’cause imma’ get real steamed”.
SHOOTER101 June 18, 2009 at 11:32 pm
# 55 pac meant niggas give up dick for free and pussy cost thats all he ment that wasnt no gay shit that shit was real!
seriously July 7, 2009 at 10:32 pm
How can you possibly leave out Bushwick Bill?
From “Size ain’t shit” GB 2nd album….
So if you wanna try your luck
C’mon…play pussy’n'get fucked
To all now bicker and I’ll pound
Let’s go around
Imma take ya, shake ya
Then brake ya down
And if you kick Imma pick up a stick
And beat your ass to the size of your dick
And that’s small
And you think you’re mackin’ when you’re lackin?
Bushwick is packin!
Take a motherfucker like you
And without remorse this is what I’ll do:
Punk you out and make you be my bitch
And let a nig get shit on his dick for 1 cigarette!!
JCC July 23, 2009 at 6:39 pm
How about Eightball on Young Buck’s «Say It To My Face» ???
«Industry dick suckers keep runnin’ ya mouth’s/And I’ma give you motherfuckers sumthin’ to talk about/ya heard ?»
Alex Walker October 13, 2009 at 2:58 am
Can’t forget about N.E.R.D. on “lapdance” Pharrell said “And I dare a motherfucka to come in my face” Top 5 Dead or alive in pauses
Frank November 19, 2009 at 11:55 pm
What about Cypress Hills
LICK A SHOT!!!!!
Frank Grimes January 7, 2010 at 3:36 am
Man, Biggie and DMX are like the Grand Champions of that shit, and theirs, unlike most of these were INTENTIONALLY gay.
I mean, DMX is talking about rapin’ niggaz every 5 seconds.
It’s no wonder he stay in prison.
If that nigga’z my cellmate, I’m curlin’ into a ball and suckin’ my thumb. Aint no shame in that.
peter January 13, 2010 at 1:31 pm

K'lajh January 26, 2010 at 3:57 pm
Y’all forgot that Jadakiss line he said on his firt album. He said “Yeah, you work out got your chest and your back all nice// But this 12 gauge will put your 6 pack on ice”
