Best rap song of all time?

[HuskerGarrett]

Not sure why I’m thinking about this tonight. Some contenders off the top of my head:

Stan - Eminem
Changes - 2Pac (or maybe Dear Mama?)
Juicy - Notorious
Nuthin But a G Thang- Dre/Snoop
Runaway - Kanye
CREAM - Wu Tang

 

[2010sarenevercomingback]

People want to pretend that they didn't love Ice Ice Baby.

But everyone loves Ice Ice Baby.

I'd go Lose Yourself for Eminem

Juicy is the correct Biggie song

Agree with Nothin but a G thang but Gin and Juice is also very good

Would throw All Eyes on me in the 2 Pac grouping

Crossroads - Bone

It was a good day Cube and fuck the police NWA for a little older

Rappers delight even older

I’m mad that I didn’t include Tha Crossroads and It was a good day. Great songs.

Mine is probably “Yesterday”. I saw them at Red Rocks with Lupe Fiasco last year

My favorite opening to crank when it comes on: What’s My Name by Snoop.

Right there with that, although it takes a second to build before it really hits: X Gonna Give It to Ya by DMX.

For a slower paced song: Regulate by Warren G is my ring tone. 🙂

A few others I probably like more than the average person:
Public Service Announcement by Jay Z.
Sabotage by Beastie Boys
Harder than You Think by Public Enemy (love those trumpets. Sounds triumphant)
Run’s House by Run DMC

Lots of good ones mentioned in here. Mine shifts with time. One of the best I’ve heard in years is J Cole - Amari. Huge fan of odd time signatures and his flow is insane on this song.

 

[Adolph Coors]

Few of my favorites

I know this thread is best rap song of ALL TIME...too many to list BUT this is one of my faves off one of the best rap albums of all time...front to back. This is the last track...one of my favorite lines of all time on this rap from Apache..."I'm a section to clinch your porch is like a pinch Test a rhyme I'll knock your hairline back an inch"
