Hip-Hopera

Hip-Hopera is the joint dropped by The Fugees and Bounty Killer in 1997. It can be found on Bounty Killer's single entitled "Hip-Hopera" as well on The Fugees' 2007 album "Besides."
My favorite verse in Hip-Hopera is:
Through the temples of doom
Somehow we managed to bloom
Like blossoms.
"By any means necessary," said Malcolm;
Nights before battle we play dead like possums,
Mimimizing our losses like caution
To the maximum,
Strategies for the Refugees.
How many mics do you rip? I say not too many.
