It might have taken a couple of years but it’s finally here: Ice Prince has finally dropped his first Hip-Hop quotable verse – one that we’ll all remember for a while.
The Chocolate City rapper’s new single aptly called ‘Can I talk’ features label mate M.I and Slaughterhouse’s rap heavyweight Joell Ortiz.
Produced by newbie TMXO, Ice delivers his best verse yet over the moody instrumentation, making deep references to God, Kanye West, Prada and more.
‘Niggas looking up to me for everything, my chick be looking up to me for wedding ring/I’m trying to stack it up and be a veteran, I’m David to Goliath and I’ma put it on every sling’, Ice Prince raps about the burden he has to carry with his status.
‘AllahuAkbar, now I’m here dawg, my single be getting a world premiere dawg/and that’s a bigger reason I should fear God/any rapper coming close to me is just a mere hog’, Mr Zamani boasts.
The catchiest line however is ‘Yea I know Jesus and Allah, more than I know Yeezus and Prada’. We could go on and on…
Joell Ortiz spits good bars but he’s kicked to last place as M.I who’s been shooting blanks for a while comes fully loaded reminding us of the short black boy from 2008. Jude Abaga’s verse is matured and shows the Loopy boss has aged well, musically.
‘I can’t leave rap, I gotta do this for heredity/already got prosperity, I’m doing this for legacy’, M.I raps.
If you ever thought the Choc Boyz dynasty was over because Jesse Jagz left, think again.

Let me correct the mistake,its nt his 1st quotable verse,i can write more that 200 lines\verses from iceprince that is more quotable and better than the one in “can i talk”. I knw as of nw he is the best rapper in Africa by far and nobody comes close to him,whn it comes to who the best mc is,any rapper comming close to him which is mode9 is just for a mere hawg. But how wuld u argue it with words like
“A young kid from Africa spit on your hearth daily,
been through the prison you see what the boss gave me,
shinning like the sun and hav been with the stars lately,
been through the fire you see scars made me”
But pls the world shuld tel me why they will argue that iceprince is nt the best mc by far with words like those.
This is one of the best rap lines ever in the history of rap/hippop music,this nigga has so many damn quotable words,let me write some here
“i trade the best of jordan,i fix it by the lorgan/hav seen the life but i aint asking you to call me sordom,they prally dig more than,so am praying here before them,am only asking to be free mehn though i am morgan”.
“if love is thing then money could buy us for a present”
“i tried to sell black but i gat the best gold/am holding up to the stories my grand pa told”
“we don dey gather all the cheese nigga,big shots chilling overseas nigga,fast whips automatic keys nigga,so when we drive by e dey be like the breeze nigga”
“i am the president,badder than the best of them,ridding with the kings the gunpowder for the rest of them/them wan mek i fall flat but am bouncing the accident,i’m on a song with chip so you i’m kicking with wretch and them”
“badman killer,iceprince nigga/white fanc and i aint a light skin nigga/red eye me no need advising nigga/fuck with the clique and you gon see the fight seen bigger”
“real Gs move in SILENCE we only THINK MILLA
big man blowing SIRENCE am like a CHINCHILLA”
“deep inside me hommie am talking those shots at her,cuz twitter people this days connecting the dots quicker/and this days i’ll be getting sick and retarded nigga,i just got a full tank and my engine just started nigga”
“thats the word on the streets nigga/i got my money and my goons i call them Gs nigga”
“i put my life in,the breath dont cut i put the knife in,my left hand weak i put the right in,i talk my bars from j to brighten”
“sometimes it feels cold like eight degrees,sometimes a nigga getting cheese for free,if i fall to the feet am not ashame to live,cos sometimes a nigga needs space to breath”
“niggarz looking up to me am like RAINBOW,walking in the dersert until i’m watching the RAIN GO,cuz niggars getting famous exactly just how the GAME GOES”
This one is clever but i dnt knw hw quotable it is,
“bouncing the wall and i’m gonna walk right through it,stand in the middle and got a plan but jigga the figure in his hands,badman pull it”
This nigga has a lot of great/quotable lyrics,piled up so many,but bcos of his commercial success,bcos everything he is in or doing is always successful thats why niggars dnt pay attention to his lyrics and songs and thinks he is too mainstream but deep inside those songs are lot of great lyrics,i mean great lyrics
