Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

There's always stretches of time where I give up on Drake doing anything so lyrical but then he comes and surprises me with joints like that. I should probably stop doubting him. Simba went in as I expected.

That's the problem with Drake. Drake can be good lyrically but he's lazy and only wants to be good lyrically when he's challenged with someone that's good lyrically in the song.

Do you think "Say You Will" a top, lets say...15 Kanye West song? I think it makes the cut at #15, but it's a great track IMO.

For me:
1) Spaceship
2) Everything I Am
3) Touch The Sky
4) Roses
5) Devil In A New Dress
6) Never Let Me Down
7) Last Call
8) We Don't Care
9) Through The Wire
10) Diamonds (Original)
11) Family Business
12) Can't Tell Me Nothing
13) Gone
14) We Major
15) Say You Will

I know I missing some gems, but it's damn near impossible to fit everything in. My favorite bars from him comes from Touch The Sky...

"Before anybody wanted K. West beats, me and my girl eat the buffet at KFC...Dawg I was having nervous breakdowns like, 'Man, these ****** that much better than me?!'"

I'm not a Stan though.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Damn, top 15 Kanye songs. Hmmm.....

All Falls Down is my all-time favorite Kanye song, and just one of my top songs in general, so that's automatically #1 for me. As for the rest, it's tough as hell to even narrow it down to 15 but this is my (rough) list.

#1 All Falls Down
#2 Runaway (ft. Pusha T)
#3 Touch The Sky (ft. Lupe Fiasco)
#4 Hey Mama
#5 Blame Game (ft. John Legend)
#6 Slow Jamz (ft. Jamie Foxx & Twista)
#7 Through The Wire
#8 Heartless
#9 Heard 'Em Say (ft. Adam Levine)
#10 Everything I Am
#11 Flashing Lights (ft. Dwele)
#12 Spaceship (ft. GLC & Consequence)
#13 Good Life (ft. T-Pain)
#14 Apologize
#15 Bittersweet Poetry (ft. John Mayer)

Honorable mentions to: White Dress, Roses, Devil In A New Dress, Drive Slow, Gold Digger...I could probably keep going but I'll stop here.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Damn two top 15 Ye list and no mention of "Crack music" off Late Registration. That may be my favorite track along with "Family Business".
