Nice & Smooth - "Hip-Hop Junkies"

















[Cultural references fly by at a mile a minute in this classic slice of early 90's hip-hop, thanks to the lyrical gifts of MCs Greg Nice and Smooth B.; add an infectious Partridge Family sample and a hot beat, and it's a recipe for party-rockin' that can't be denied.]

I got a funky funky rhyme with a funky style
I got a funky funky rhyme with a funky funky style
I got a funky rhyme with a funky funky style
I got a funky rhyme with a funky funky style

Rickety Rocket was my favorite cartoon
After marriage, the honeymoon
I'll be damned, gag me with a spoon
Who loves Popeye?
Alice The Goon!
Ladies, let your body flow
Send a chill up your spine like an eskimo
Here's a backstage pass to a funky show
Come give me a kiss under the mistletoe
Greg Nice, my life's like a fairy tale
Orca was a great big whale
I knew a fat girl who broke the scale
You won't tell, I won't tell
Clientele, I must excel
Took a little test, I passed then fail
Brakes, hunh, no need to hit'em
Skins, ya got 'em - I wanna get wit 'em!

Nice & Smooth is funky
Also hip-hop junkies
All we wanna do is unh unh in you

Nice & Smooth is funky
Also hip-hop junkies
All we wanna do is unh unh...

(Smooth B)
Yo, I gotta funky funky rhyme wit a funky funky style
Funky rhyme wit a funky funky style
Funky funky rhyme wit a funky funky style
I gotta funky rhyme wit a funky funky style

Got outta my bed
about eight
And then I called Greg Nice cause it wasn't too late
To get some skins
and come around the block
Cause man, my tip is harder than a rock
He said bet, so I let
Greg Nice call this girl named Annazette
Annazette, the teacher's pet
You sure shes gonna come on this set?
He said Smooth B don't you fret
My tip is on her way yo, quiet as kept
The tall slim fly kid with dope steps
Yep, coming with a box of hats
Yo, Greg Nice, is that girl all that
He said Smooth B, the skins is FAT

I don't beg cause cause I'm not a begonia
I dress warm so that I won't catch pneumonia
My rhymes are stronger than ammonia
I'm a diamond, you're a cubic zirconia...
