Posted by Rap Genius on 10/05/12 | Filed under Lines of the Week

If there’s anyone more obsessed with breaking down hip-hop’s smallest details than RefinedHype, it’s the good folks at Rap Genius. Well you know what they say, if you can’t beat em’, invite ‘em onto RefinedHype to share their five dopest Lines of the Week. Or at least that’s what they’ll say now. Enjoy.

—————————

This week, the biggest news in hip-hop was not about a person, but about a building. Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, one-half-of-one-percent-owned by Jay-Z, opened for business with eight straight concerts by the rap legend. Another BK rapper, Skyzoo, released his superb album “A Dream Deferred” this week as well. And, in the realm of sadly predictable news, Beanie Sigel got arrested while he was already facing a two-year jail sentence. Best wishes to Beanie. Come home soon.

Enjoy the lines of the week.” - Shawn Setaro, Rap Genius Editor
