Who rhymed, "I heard your record and I don't believe a word of it"?

Hip-hop filter: What rap song has a chorus that goes something like, "I heard your record and I don't believe a word of it." [MI]

Years ago while listening to the Stretch Armstrong show in New York City at 3am he played a song with a chorus that went something like, "I heard your record and I don't believe a word of it." This was the mid-90s, so it had a head nodding beat, and the rapper had a raspy voice that was similar to Xzibit. The song was about how unnamed rappers weren't as tough as their rhymes said they were. Googling around has done me no good, and I don't think it was actually Xzibit. What say you MeFites?

Sounds like KRS-One offhand. Maybe _A Friend_ off that CD.

Apparently it's someone called Nine Lyin King--lyrics here.

Just so you know--the way I found it was by Googling "I don't believe a word of it" lyrics. For some reason, Google wouldn't find the entire line.

That should be "+lyrics."

I think the rapper is "Nine", and the song is "Lyin King" - not rapper named "Nine Lyin King".

Oh, you're right, Gortuk...sorry.

feathermeat, you don't need a + in your google search. that's only for "common" words that are otherwise left out.
