OHHLA only lists six hip-hop songs which contain the words 'English muffin.' Here are the relevant rhymes, ranked from worst to best:

Comin back to a system that's whack and really not runnin
Oh I'm sorry it's runnin', it's not PROPERLY runnin'
It's a conspiracy, hear me man, it's got to be somethin'
I can get guns faster than I can get an English muffin
--KRS-ONE, 'Hip-Hop' (This song's from 2008. That muffin thing was probably true in the Scott LaRock days, but unless Kris keeps a gun in the crib, I don't think it was true last year. And, since it's a KRS song from 2008, I couldn't find it on Youtube. So here's a posse cut.)

Fiddle-fee, fiddle-fie, fiddle-foe, fiddle-fum
I smell the blood of an English
muffin, huffin and puffin
sellin his soul, J-E-L-L-O, ya know?
--MC Serch, 'Here It Comes' (Is this a subliminal Bill Cosby dis? The fuck?)

Suckin' then finger-fuckin', here let me show you somethin'
I knock the stuffin' off that English muffin
--Method Man, on Meth and Redman's 'I.O.U.' (Sorry, not on Youtube, but here's my favorite Meth/Redman video.)

Then I burn an MC up like a burnt English muffin
Brothers always puffin' in but ain't sayin' nuthin'
--Shyheim AKA the Rugged Child, 'Party's Goin' On'
(Meth probably kicked him some English muffin knowledge.)

I'm cream cheese with the English muffin
I still got respect in the Flatbush junction, hey
--Rampage, on Busta Rhymes 'Call the Ambulance'
(That's a pretty good muffin rhyme.)

I hit a beat and swing a note as if my name was David Ruffin
Quick to toast an MC just like an English muffin
Don't worry about a thing cause the Puba's never bluffin'
I gets headaches from the wack, so then I take a Bufferin
--Grand Puba, on Brand Nubian's 'All For One'
(And that's the best muffin rhyme ever. Also, Puba's so old-school, he takes Bufferin.)
