Favorite Rap/Hip-hop songs!

[Dizzy]

List your favorite rap and hip-hop songs here!

I have many but right now, I like listening to A$ap Rocky Eff'in Problems Long.Live.Asap Guap - Big Sean Young And Gettin' It - Meek Mill Celebration - The Game

My list changes frequently as I remember songs I like and listen to new ones.

 

[madwarper]

The original white rapper. Yet, he don't get no respect.

[Dead Seerius]

For the time being, this is my favorite.

And Tech N9ne is my favorite rapper.
The Beast, Worldwide Choppers, and The Rain are some other great
works by him I feel I should recommend.

 

[Dizzy]

Tech N9ne is good, I hardly hear him from any of my friends though. Same with Meek Mill.

 

[Vault101]

theres too many


and I havnt even gotten to macklemore and ryan lewis.....when most rappers try and rap about somthing "deep" they often come across as fake and insincere...but this guy gives me chills

 

[Limecake]

I listen to a lot of hip hop and most of the time I really like some relaxing hip hop. Here's one that makes me anxious for spring.


EDIT: Oh God I can't forget this song too

 

[Squiddles]

The first time I heard this on San Andreas I was addicted to it.

 

[Epic Bear Man]

Definitely Immortal Technique's "Dance With The Devil":

Shows the beauty that rap can be.

 

[Nouw]

Spoiler: We're going to skate to one song!

AND ONE SONG ONLY!​

Currently my favourite song; ironically my favourite part is Ye's outro and not Jay's rapping. It has nothing to do with not being able to rap his part, I swear >_>.

 

[Kenbo Slice]

Snip

*high five for Macklemore and Ryan Lewis* Somebody in the rate the song above you forum said they were pretentious.

I second Macklemore and Ryan Lewis with this song:


Also, Kendrick Lamar is very good:

 

[Yuno Gasai]

The first few that come to mind:

Vinnie Paz - End Of Days
Tupac - California Love
Eminem - Forgot About Dre

 

[Zantos]

It is, and always has been, all about the Beastie Boys. The thing that's seriously missing from all rap nowadays is a power rangers style battle and a giant VW badge.

Spoiler: Beastie boys

 

[FFP2]

My favourite at the moment has to be One Mic by Nas

This is what hip-hop should be like... Not some dumbass that wears jeggings/skirts and just raps about the same "money, weed, bitches" all the damn time.

 

[Sacman]

Dunno if I can pick just one... especially considering I stick to artists or groups... but I unno, gotta throw some That Handsome Devil in there... they're probably my favorite...<.<

Spoiler: That Handsome Devil...

If you can even call them rap...<.>

and anything the Gorillaz put out, regardless of what rappers are involved, always good shit...<.<

Spoiler: Gorillaz

And can't forget some Outkast...<.<

Spoiler: OutKast...

And some Bone Thugs N Harmony... really the first rappers I ever got into...<.<

Spoiler: Bone Thugs N Harmony

My latest fixture is MCFrontalot though... has such a weird flow... not to mention nerdcore has it's charms...

Spoiler: Mc Frontalot...

and L'Homme Run... because it's the most hilarious thing I've ever heard...<.<

Spoiler: L'Homme Run

and to think that if you gave them a few years, they'd turn into Vampire Weekend...<.<

Spoiler: Vampire Weekend

Oh and Butthole Surfers... because Butthole Surfers...<.<

Spoiler: Butthole Surfers...

really hard to even call rap... seeing as how the rapping is really bad... but god damnit... if anyone can make this stuff work it's the Butthole Surfers...<.<

 

[Sacman]

Also, Kendrick Lamar is very good:

Hmm... Jay Rock? I wonder if he stole that from J-Roc...<.<


God, I loved Trailer Park Boys...<.<

 

[Mr.Incognitus]

I'm not a huge listener of Rap and Hip-Hop, but I do indulge in it a little bit.
Asheru would definitely be my favourite artist.

 

[Kair]

Rap is not song. Rap is rap.

Rap is lyric poetry, song is much more musical.
The difference is a focus on lyrics vs a focus on melody.

Edit: This is unless you count every oral performance of a text as song.

 

[welker_83]
