Hotel, motel, hoilday inn


This is the grandfather of rap. Without this song rap might not have made it out of NYC (not really true, but no one can deny that this song was the beginning of the phenomenon). I found this version from here (CO shout out, Meg Frost is a goddess). The thing that really caught my attention were these lyrics:
I don't mean to brag
I don't mean to boast
But we're like hot butter on our breakfast toast

Which are remarkably like these Beastie Boys lyrics
I don't mean to brag
Don't mean to boast
But I'm intercontinental when I eat french toast

Also, check out the "dancers" in the video, almost as good as the song itself.
