Rap And Hiphop

Warren G ft. Nate Dogg - Regulate

A west coast cassic. I haven't heard music like his since that era, since I mostly listen to what's on Spotify. But I'm  sure there are some west coast artists holding it down. Rest in peace, Nate Dogg.

Drake the type of mf to say "don't mind if I do" when you offer him a cookie.

Lupe Fiasco's "Dopamine Lit (Intro)" is an underrated bop.

Nicki Minaj's verse in Monster was so good at the time that Kanye thought about leaving it out so he wouldn't get outshined.

Nicki had to tell him "You're m***** f****** Kanye West" to get him to keep her verse in the song.

EZ dub. A rap clinic was put on for those who noticed.Most diss tracks are only worth a handful of listens just to see who "won", but Killshot is just a great track with great rapping, rhyme schemes, punchlines, and flow.

[Blxst]

Doja Cat's "Paint the Town Red" is a diss track to fickle fans and I am here for it. Most rappers throw in a line at most. Doja wrote a whole song and it SLAPS.

Mobb Deep's "Shook Ones Pt. II" is still one of the hardest hip hop songs and evokes an energy that is rare in music. The beat is a classic and is a must bust for any aspiring rapper.

Yeah, that's a classic. It might not be his most lyrically impressive aong, it's definitely the most iconic. Next would be his all time classic "The Real Slim Shady" because that harpsichord opening melody and entering lyrics are just absolute earworms.

Hip-Hop scholars consider this the song that established Nelly as a legend. I personally haven't listened to enough of his songs or albums to have a strong opinion on Nelly's lyrical skills, the chorus is a little repetitive and not too impressive a hook, but the delivery is swaggy and the song, overall, is iconic and a certified club banger and party starter.

No, you're not crazy. Drake IS soft. In the wrong way.

[Blxst]

Posted this in song lyrics, but I think Hip-Hop fans are still sleeping on Lupe.

Lupe Fiasco ft. Gizzle - "Jump"

That first verse is straight bars! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

--------

Gold medals, them my role models

Rollin' old models, lowered old schools

Flowin' cold and goin' gold follows

Flower bearin', call it petals to the floor

Power sharin', call it devils to the door

Power, power, 'til ain't no devils anymore

Flower, flowers, they be droppin' at the feet of my sun

Move a thousand miles per hour down the street of my slum

And who do I meet, to the beat of my drum

It was little Susie Uzi, she sold crack and was a killer

All bitch dope tip, wasn't trappin' with no niggas

Had a long money, minor do that action for them figures

Her influence fully automatic, crackin' off the Richter, yeah

Walked up to my ride, asked me could she get inside

She pointed at her pistol so I properly replied

Told me, out here in the streets, she ain't have no competition

And with me up on them beats, then we shared the same description

With a blunt between her lips, she said, "Now here's my proposition:

You just write a bunch of raps for me and I'ma go and spit 'em

Then we take 'em to the radio, the DJ better spin 'em

Then we take 'em to the record store and sell a couple million"

[Blxst]

Slept on, but still iconic. A mandatory bop for b-boys and b-girls.

Beastie Boys - "Intergalactic"

I used to practice this song!

Still can't nail it, tho. Lol.

Might get back into and give it another go to expand my Karaoke repertoire.

"Stay Gold" - Run the Jewels

A great high energy hype song. Nice and swaggy bars. El P and Killer Mike have great chemistry on this track.

Fun fact from behind the scenes.

The owl that goes "forever-ever-ever?" Nailed it when the camera was rolling, since they couldn't get it to hit the timing during the dry runs.

These days, they'd just fix it in post production, but it's great that they shot that scen practically with no camera tricks and just a focus rack to the owl.

J. Cole's "Forbidden Fruit" is a great track to just vibe to when you're at home cooking up breakfast.

Uncredited in the original release, Kendrick comes in with a melodic hook:

[Hook: Kendrick Lamar]
Me and my bitch, took a little trip
Down to the garden, took a little dip (oh no)
Apple juice falling from her lips, took a little sip (boom)

[Bridge x2: Kendrick Lamar (J. Cole)]
Bitches come and go (You know that)
Money come and go (You know that)
Love come and go (Don't shit last)

[Blxst]

Shanti Dope's "Nadarang"

[ashong21]

Blueberry yum yum - Ludacris

[Blxst]

G-Eazy's "No Limit" ft. A$AP Rocky and Cardi B is a great track to play when you're feeling yourself.

Cardi B was "that bitch" when this song came out and her bars reflect it in the punchy delivery amd IDGAF attitude.
