Prince William ain’t do it right 

If you ask me
'Cause if I was him 

I would have married Kate and Ashley

From Kanye and Jay-Z's 2011 single, "Niggas in Paris," which is #2 on Rap Genius's list of the best 100 rap songs of 2011.  Click here to see all 100.

No, I haven't forgotten that we're supposed to be featuring Jay-Z on "Rap Fridays" this month.  But Jay-Z and Kanye are BFFs -- they released a collaborative studio album titled Watch the Throne earlier this year that included this song, and are coming to the end of a wildly successful joint tour.  (I walked out of my office one night in November and found myself in the middle of an enormous crush of people.  Turns it that was the night Kanye and Jay-Z were performing at the Verizon Center, which is directly across the street from my Washington, DC office.)    

Jay-Z's "Niggas in Paris" verse is pretty good, but how could I -- a father of twins who were huge Full House fans and born in 1986 (just like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) -- resist these lines, which are 100% Kanye?

And 'Ye is 100% right.  Nothing wrong with Kate Middleton, but we're talkin' Mary-Kate and Ashley!

So if the devil wear Prada,

Adam 'n' Eve wear nada,

I'm in between, but way more fresher

With way less effort 

'Cause when you try hard,

That's when you die hard.

From "Can't Tell Me Nothing," which was the lead single from Kanye's 2007 album, Graduation.  It was featured in The Hangover, and Zach Galifianakis was featured in an alternative official music video for the song.

I met this MILF at the All-Star getting action

A cougar with more rings than Phil Jackson

Told her beauty is why God invented eyeballs

And her booty is why God invented my balls

It's June, and the NBA is still playing basketball.  These lines are from the verse Kanye contributed to "Start It Up," the 2010 Lloyd Banks single that also featured Swizz Beatz and Fabolous.  Phil Jackson has 11 championship rings as a coach and two more as a player, but it looks like that's all he's going to get.

Restraining order

Can't see my daughter

Her mother, brother, grandmother hate me in that order

(I'd say that's a bad romance -- and this is "Bad Romance Tuesday," isn't it?  From his 2010 song, "All of the Lights," which features not only Kanye and Rihanna, but also Kid Cudi, Fergie, Alicia Keys, and Elton John.)
