Can you recommend me good hip hop songs

[WalterPill]

Hey dude chill man take it easy. I only listened to about the first five links in your post and reckoned the genre would have been the same...........sorry I'm a bad person and I'll burn for it

I do appreciate your post though in all seriousness.

Yeah, but Express Yourself and Regulate were two of the first five like..........

Never mind though, carry on.

Im shocked the Notorious BIG aint got more of a mention.

Anything by him basically.

Although these are my fav's

[Booyakasha]

Common - The 6th Sense

The Pharcyde - Runnin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hZKN4AZ63g

Ja Rule - Dial M For Murder

[webslinger2k]

I'm compiling a list of what hip hop songs to burn on to cd for the car.

So far I've got

Tupac - Ghetto Gospel
Joe Budden - Remix of Gnarls Barkley's Crazy
Coolio - Gangsters Paradise
Eminem - Toy Soldiers
Jay Z - Ain't no love

That sort of thing. Any more recommendations?

He He, you being serious with that list, or you really think those are a crop of great hip hop?

BIG and Tupac have both been ravaged and destroyed commercially since their deaths. Its a disgrace. Sadly their names and material has turned from true genius and cutting edge, to extemely pop chart and manufactured garbage.

[Booyakasha]

DMX - Lord Give Me A Sign

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-PVojBOGhk

Not my choice, I think its fuckin awfull but someone might like it

They are too me. Like I said different strokes for different folks. Do you have any songs to recommend or did you just feel the urge to post your opinion?

I like it thanks mate.

Like I said different strokes for different folks.

everyone is posting smart arse replies cos people have posted loads of hip hops greatest songs and albums, but you dont like any of them and instead name faux "hip hop" songs that you prefer which are in actual fact.. shite.

i think you like the idea of liking hiphop, but instead you actually prefer pop hip-hop and remixes n shit.

not a bad thing per se, but i dont think you will get what you want by asking for hip hop tracks.

What do you mean by shite? Shite as in they are not to your liking or that they aren't actually hip hop songs? Because as I mentioned earlier I'm not too sure. I just assumed they are hip hop.

So does pop hip hop actually exist? I mean is that an actual genre? If you would class my choice as pop hip hop then so be it, that's what I like. But I don't think that is an actual genre is it? Therefore hip hop was the only choice or am I wrong?

I don't really know what you mean by 'like the idea of liking hip hop'. The fact is I like some of the songs. I couldn't give a shit what type of genre it is. If I like it I like it. If you mean because liking it would be cool or some shit like that well that's just wrong. Why would someone say they like something when they don't?

[marcode]

theres loads of different genres

pop/rnb
pop/rap
rap/hip-hop
etc

the point is you asked people to recommend you some good hip hop songs, and a nice list has been compiled of some great tracks but youve liked a fraction. so why not look at other genres such as rap/pop/rnb and their variations as you dont seem to like much of the suggested straight hip hop or rap/hip hop

[Argyll]

Ok so judging by my list. What type of genre do you think I should be looking at?

[marcode]

pass..

a 5 song list isnt really gonna help.

[DiGiT]

I hear disney has a great new gangster cd! - No joke...

Grandmaster Flash hasn't been mentioned yet AFAICT. Also search Boogie Down Productions . Man Parrish. KRS-One. Sugerhill has already been mentioned.

For me, the hip-hop sound finished in the late 80s, taken over by gangsta and the RnB artists that most people today call hiphop.

LL Cool J's 'Going Back to Cali' has one of the best reverbarating bass beats for me.
Boogie Down Bronx by Man Parrish
The soundtrack to Breakin' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086998/soundtrack
