Favorite Rap Songs

I need some new ideas from other people. Suggestions? Heres a few I've been listening to, to get this thread started-
Keak Da Sneak- Super Hyphy
Lil Wayne- Go DJ
Andre Nickatina- Smoke Dope and Rap
Lil Flip- Like a Pimp

[McGahee]

I'm not certain if I'm just getting old, or if rap has actually sucked since the early-mid 90's. Never heard of any of those. My mixed rap CD is made up of Dr. Dre, Biggy, 2-pac, House of Pain, Cypress Hill, NWA, Spice 1, Bone Thugs, Wu-Tang, and Juvenile.

[solid]

here's some that i'd think would fit:
andre nickatina - honeycomb
andre nickatina - powda 4 the hoes
andre nicaktina & mac dre - andre 'n' andre
andre nickatina - killer whale
36 Mafia - i gotta stay high
mac dre - not my job (although i assume you already know about this)
mac dre & mista fab - this is how the game goes
chamillionare, flip, bun b - platinum stars

obviously there's a ton of other stuff coming out of the bay/texas/tennessee/etc that you'd probably like but this seems like a decent start.

coolio - livin in a gangstas paradise

[shant]

Dipset - The Official Dipset Mixtape Vol. 1 - 72 tracks of radness.

[man]

I don't listen to rap, but my friend does, and these are his favorite songs this week (he has them in his AIM profile):

Get 'Em (Cassidy ft. Swizz)
The Fever (Rapper Big Pooh)
Road to Zion (D. Marley ft. Nas)

Right now I like Grillz by Nelly and Paul Wall.

[RubberDucky]

heiroglyphics is always a good choice.

[Autocratic]

Notorious BIG - Juicy or Mo Money Mo Problems
Mase - Welcome Back
Anything by Ludacris

[Allinlife]

i agree. as is deltron3030. And a new Talin CD is out.

[siccjay]

Never in a million years would I have expected this thread to have Andre Nickatina songs in 2 out of the first 3 posts.

[siccjay]

Oh and "I'm a pisces" is the best Nickatina song.

Big L - Ebonics
Big L - 98 Freestyle

This dude is insane. Too bad he got shot like nine times. Lately I'm listening to a lot of Swishahouse stuff... there's some decent lyrical complexity, and if you're into the screwed stuff, you'll enjoy the remixes. Otherwise... 7L & Esoteric, Aesop Rock, Necro (if you like annoying white dudes), older 36 Mafia stuff...

Eh, that's all for now. But get Big L. He's sick.

[M2d]

Shinehead-Hello Y'all

[surfinillini]

Tone Loc - Wild Thing

[SmileyEH]

Brother Ali - Shadows on the Sun

-SmileyEH

[Tron]

Everyone,

Stop choosing such nerd rap.

NotMyJob,

I Keeps It Real,
TRON

Nickatina is the shiiit! I listen to mainly Bay area rap music like Mac Dre, Mistah Fab, Keak Da Sneak, Dubee, Mob Figaz, E-40 etc. Trying to expand my horizons though, cuz I got about every dope song from these artists. These suggestions are good, keep em coming.

anything by atmosphere, eyedea, brother ali, sage francis, living legends, awol one, adeem, JMT, Immortal Technique, or Pigeon John is gold.

I've never heard of Andrew Nickatina. Could someone enlighten me?

Single greatest rap song ever, lyrically and musically speaking is eminem's "till I collapse"

[ThePenguin]

Anyone who listens to 36 Mafia is a terrible human being.

When I said that, I meant on this forum.

Nickatina is alright. I like older bay area stuff a lot more. Ya Boy is pretty tight though. I also like Frontline, Balance, and The Team.

[ScottyP431]

[ilya]

Sunshine by Talib Kweli & some other rappers. It's probably the most joyful rap song I've heard, stumbled across it once totally by accident.
