[ThaSaltCracka]

[PoBoy321]

In no particular order:

1. Notorious BIG - Gimme Da Loot
2. Tupac - Hit 'em Up
3. Wu Tang Clan - Back in the Game
4. Joe Budden - Fire
5. 50 Cent (feat. Eminem) - Patiently Waiting

14. Tribe Called Quest - Award Tour
15. Notorious BIG - Juicy
16. Snoop Doggy Dogg - Gin and Juice
17. Dr. Dre - Let Me Ride

I'm far from a hip hop afficianado, these are just the hip hop songs that stand out in my mind as being the ones I've always like the most. Generally my taste in music runs more along the ilk of bands like Guster and Ben Folds, but when I'm looking to get in touch with the streets, this is what I usually throw on.

[Shillx]

A playlist solely consisting of Atmosphere (not just the new stuff) would work for me.

Brad

[Matty]

Yeah I have one- dunno if it has any God Loves Ugly on it though. Something about that cd just annoys me.

Yeah, I used to have it on my computer, but I accidentally deleted it. Great song. Uh, he finally left Death Row so he should be putting out an album ASAP. His mixtape was horrible, but I have high hopes for the album. He just needs to be smart about things, and so far he's in the negative when it comes to smart decisions.. Who the hell would sign with Death Row unless you want to not put out an album for 5 years? Ugh.

Is Syko the guy from Seattle on Street Level records?

I heard somewhere that after rapping about killing babies, he's in jail for killing babies.

Even if it's not true, the fact that I could conceive of this being true says a lot.

Thats him, he's not on Street Level anymore they had a big falling out.

The song on my list is from his street level cd. He just released a new cd on his own label I think. It's not as good as his old stuff. I'm even more surprised that someone on here knows about Street Level. D-Sane is one of the best producers EVER.

About Crooked, hes been off the Row for what a year now? I heard some stuff about Suge tryin to keep him from releasing an album. Yea the mixtape was horrible despite a few nice catchy lines.

"Straight blast, niggaz gettin knocked off they Kawasaki. The inventors of brake pads couldn't figure out how to stop me."

LMAO Lynch has never been in jail as far as I know of. Especially not for that. He's my favorite rapper overall. (hence the name SICCjay) He's fell off a little but still has flows.

7. Gang Starr - Moment of Truth
13. Talib Kweli - Get By

Yeah, well I live in Seattle, hehe. I actually went to school with someone on SLR. Young Vicious. Cool kid, pretty smart, too. I don't really listen to much gangster [censored] like Lynch or anybody else like that, mostly underground hip hop like stuff I listed.

And that Crooked line I somehow missed. It's insane.
