What is your most favorite rap song???


1. name the song
2. the artist


maybe you will introduce a favorite to someone whose never heard it before!

also...

I've found that since rap music is so pervasive in today's culture (it dominates the charts, so influential amongst our generation, etc.) even for people
who dont like rap music in general they have at least one rap song that they can tolerate or one that they dont mind listening to


well for me i am a HUGE fan of rap/hiphop so i literally have a new favorite every week
my favorite for this week is by Lil Webbie the chorus goes something like "I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T"

have you guys heard it?

well just the other day i was watching TV and freecreditreport.com had a really catchy song/commercial that came on and i was like wait a freakin minute!!!
ive heard this song before!!

the lil webbie song and the freecreditreport song are awfully similar during the chorus dont you guys think?

"i shot the sherifff but i didnt shoot the deputy"



^that line always confused me

Hero by NasftKeri hilson

i think its pretty cool:)
lyrics are aweosme..

hmm

i dont know if they count, but
Girls on the Dance floor - far east movement, if not then...

I have to get back to you.

Well, I don't like hip-hop too much, but I like Epik High's Delusion of Persecution very much, also Seogongpyo and Love Love Love, One...

There should be more, because overall I like the idea of rapping, I've learned some lyrics by heart, but I just can't stand some kinds of hip-hop style.

I don't know if you can count it, but I like Linkin Park's Nobody's Listening

<3 -fufufufufu... xD-

U Don't Know Me by T.I.

drop by timbaland

HANDS DOWN. i know alll the words by heart.

Tupac - My Block (Remix) is my favorite ever. Love the guitar riffs, lyrics, everything.

I guess Lose Yourself - Eminem cause it actually is a good song and has great hooks. I was a big fan of Eminem when I was younger and naive.

Although I have been in a rap sorta mood lately and right now, my current favourite track is Mobb Deep - Shook Ones Pt II. Seriously, it's got one of the best beats.

Song Name: Loose Yourself
Singer: Eminem

Song Name: Runnin'
Artist: Tupac

currently:
Santogold- Creator

i've always quite liked Kanye West's Flashing Lights too

i listen to a variety of music but rap/ hip-hop is one of my fave genres! it's a shame that some people don't even give rap a try. =( anywayss..
Like it Like That by Tribe Called Quest
Against the World by Tribe Called Quest (one of Tribes most underrated songs. but my all time fave. very chill. hehe 90's rap is gooood)


and i just bought Crack A Bottle by Eminem on itunes today. really like it.

I know that is the "other" section, but Epik High's Fan will always be at the top of the list for me. Eminem's Lose Yourself is also very good.

DROP-TIMBALAND

jurapp! xDD

Hit Em Up
Tupac

I love the anger in this song.


I also quite like Say What You Say by Eminem.

don't know if it's my favorite, but definitely one of the songs i could just keep listening to and one of the first i thought of when regarding favorite rap songs

Do you have to post a video from your Youtube account on every post you make? It just makes you seem desperate to get more views/subscribers, which in turn makes you seem desperate for e-fame. Jus sayin~
Anyways, on topic, choosing my favourite rap/hip-hop song is impossible because there's too much I like to narrow it down. However, the song I'm enjoying at the moment is Time 4 Sum Aksion by Redman.

1) Where is the love?
by Black Eyed Peas

2) Hero (only the beginning part)
by Nas

#3 and on) Most songs by Eninem, despite all his profanity, he's definitely someone who should be remembered IMO.

i can't choose just one LOL. my favorites are (not in any particular order):

1. kanye west - the glory
2. epik high - 평화의 날
3. lupe fiasco - sunshine
4. common - u, black maybe
5. bone thugs n harmony - tha crossroads
6. norisiam-x - if i... feat. jay'ed
7. lightheaded - surprise cipher remix
8. lupe fiasco - just might be ok feat. gemini
9. mos def - life in marvelous times
10. steady&co. - shuunkashutou
11. a tribe called quest - electric relaxation
12. crown j - too much
13. t.i. - ASAP
14. epik high - 10년 뒤에 (Dear Me) feat. leeds (one of my all time favorite songs)
15. lupe fiasco - theme music to a drive by

....yeah that was a lot, but i couldn't decide D:
there are more, but i'll spare you all, haha.

Um.. I have a lot.. But all time favorite for me would be Eminem - Stan and bone thugs and harmony - I Tried

Nas- New York State of Mind <--- The first time I heard this song, I was speechless on his lyricalism.
"I ran like a cheetah with thoughts of an assassin."

First three rappers are the ones that were in their teens when they got in the game (to show the difference between them and souljah boy).
Last three joints are going to be the smoothest & lyrical joints that you might ever hear.


I like Jamal - Fade Em All http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYWyraqq9-g

Shyheim - On And On http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lBEvKyTDuI

Mic Geronimo - Masta I C http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfHR5aONrLw
Bahamadia - Uknowhowwedu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyGUesyG7bU
2Rude feat. Saukrates & Pharoahe Monch - Innovations http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHXC8UPOkwc

"Sawatdee Krap" By Joey Boy, I can listen to that one on repeat foreverrr

Seconding the Jamal recommendation~ This song (I'm pretty sure I can't post the title on Soompi due to the swear filter D; ) is my personal favourite. It's a shame that he didn't do much after his first album

well there are 2 rap songs i could listen on repeat.MC Solaar - Solaar Pleure and Fabolous - Breathe

right now:
Pitbull - Go Girl
Common - Universal Mind Control

OMG word. Two of the dopest tracks of all time.

Hmm atm The Roots - What They Do and Slum Village - Fall In Love

Song name: Remember the Name

Artist: Fort Minor

I have a lot of favorite but the first that comes to mind is Mockingbird by Eminem. Been a fan of his since fourth grade.

Where is the love - Black Eyed Peas
I can - Nas

and pretty much any song by Eminem.
especially When I'm Gone & Cleaning out my closet.

when i used to like rap: Redman & Method Man - Da Rockwilder
it's a really short song but i love the beat

just fyi - if you check out the vid, it's got a clip of Redman's how high

lately: T.I. ft. Justin Timberlake - Dead and Gone

i love everything from Eminem..
my favorite though is Cleanin' out my Closet

"College Girls are Easy"

I can't name specifically one song.
I like most of the chart topping late 90's early 2000's hip hop.
