Challenge: come up with rap lyrics that epitomise what these well known rappers are all about.
50 Cent: "I get money/that's it for me/all the other stuff is secondary."
Kanye West: "I'm insecure like a high school girl/but I'm real creative like Michael, girl."
Jay-Z: "Lyrically, I beat you like guard in jail/but my rhymes about selling crack are getting kinda stale."
Lil Wayne: "It's true/I'm the best rapper alive/...also, something weird about butterflies."
DMX: "I'm so crazy I carry my own gun/I'm like the only rapper who might actually kill someone."
Eminem: "I used to rap about killing your mom while high/now I only rap about things that make me cry."
That was a lot of fun. It would make more sense to people who listen to hip-hop, and they might disagree with my interpretation, but that's cool. I don't know many other rappers well enough to make comment. And I only had to use Rhymezone a few times, so that's good. And I removed a few words here and there and changed a few to help the rhythm of the sentence. I wasn't too worried about making them like proper rap lyrics, cos, like.. what the hell do I know about writing rap lyrics, but I thought I should make some concession to the form and at least make them sound like it could work.
