The emphasis on well-crafted bars seems to be dwindling these days in hip-hop. That’s why The Source has decided to comb through the barrage of new tracks every 7 days and deliver a roundup of the standout lyrical quips from each week’s releases. Check out some of the clever, amusing and/or charismatic rhymes that passed the bar exam this week (December 30th, 2012 – January 5th, 2013), after the jump.

“In my pocket are ghost notes / Know folks, that’ll bring it in on a rowboat / no joke, blow smoke, thought I had no hope / then I copped a yacht, guessed I show boats / Yeah, guess I showboat / Catch me on the water baby , that’s how hope floats “
– Cam’ron, SONG: “You Know This”
“Coulda been a bus driver swingin’ uppercuts / Coulda been a battle rapper having lunch with [Loaded] Lux / but I been a boss, tell by the tux / I coulda gave it thought but I don’t give a f**k”
