What's so great about this line? I really don't understand. Its a simple throwaway line. Its not intricately rhymed nor does it have an internal rhyme scheme or does it have any good metaphors or double entendres. Come on, this is why people my age who were really getting into hip hop during its true "Golden Era" from the release of illmatic (around 94) to the death of Big Pun/ release of Marshall Mathers LP (around 01) laugh at the garbage the 16-21 year olds think is hot.
This is an example of good lyricism:
Nas on Raekwon's Verbal Intercourse (Only Built 4 Cuban Linx)
Live on the run, police paying me to give in my gun
Trick my Wisdom, with the system that imprisoned my son
Smoke a gold leaf I hold heat, nonchalantly
I'm grungy, but things I do is real it never haunts me
