Best Hip-Hop song This Decade

[slimsoxshady]

Lose Yourself stands alone for me

This and Lollipop. Im serious.

No, Im not.

throw in a Milli and you have a 3peat

[Tornado]

M.O.P Feat. Busta Rhymes, Remy Ma & Teflon- Ante Up (Remix): That song i love to hear whenever i'm in a hype mood and basically started the remix trend in this decade

Dead Prez- Hip-Hop: So simple but an anthem for the underground, condemming the image obessesed fakeness of commercial music and pursuing he cause for real hip-hop. It's controversial but it stood up for real music at the time

Eminem Feat. Dido- Stan: It may be overplayed now but this song proved Em had the lyrical ability and creative mind to reconstruct an old Dido chorus with sinister results. It still give me chills when listening

Immortal Technique- Dance With The Devil: WQe all know Tech is a undergorund political rebel but here he shows off his storytelling skills aswell in a tale worthy of a movie makeover and the key is his simplicity in is words but somehow it gets you hooked

Nas- What Goes Around: I chose this other Etherbecause of personal perference, best song on Stillmatic, this showcases the classic elements of what made Nas great, Hood storytelling, political issues and meaninigful messages over simple soothing beats. Class

Eminem- 8 Mile Road: Forget Lose Yourself, it's slightly commercial but this is a raw throwback to 95 detroit and em's struggle to make it in which you can envision hos struggle through his words

Eminem- Sing For The Moment: The anthem for Rap fans at the time, for teens misunderstood who only had hip-hop, Em addresses that and spits a positive message to inspire the youth to silence the hate campaign against him and shows Em's ability never faultered at his peak

Rakim- R.A.K.I.M- Whilst many artits dropped sub-standard material on 8 Mile soundtrack, Rakim was the only artist to match Em with a sef named acronym tiled song. To put it simply, Ra never slips on standards

G-Unit- G'd Up: This song will give you chills when you hear the piano, G-Unit took off where Mobb Deep left, providing a rugged portrayal of the streets over simple raw beats. The chorus alone of the song is one of the best Chorus's EVER

Obie Trice- Average Man: This is the raw detroi hip-hop shit, quite simply the BEST opening to an album EVER bar none. The beaqt is suitabaly eerie and Obie spits smart but raw lyrics to have you bopping your head slowly.

Proof- Kurt Kobain: This song may be slightly ironic now as he's dead now but this an emotional heartfelt letter spit through a microphone to all his loved ones which you can only listen to in awe. RIP Big Proof we'll miss your music

Klashnekoff- It's Murda: Call me biased but i love this song. In a age of poppy trends, even in the UK, Klasnekoff kep it raw and lyrical for this. Instantly listneble but deep aswell, this song has AHUGE replay value

Akala- Shakespeare: More UK shit for you, just a lyrical masterclas to prove the Uk has talent. Just listen

Pharoahe Moch- When the Gum Draws: It maybe short but oh so sweet, similar to "I Gave You Poweer" by Nas

Raekwon Feat. Ghostface Killah & Suga Bang- Cold Outside: The sample is great and the chorus is addictive like sweets to a kid. This is the raw street shit without talking bullshit about bragging about who they shot or whatever

Raekwon Feat. Inspectah Deck, Ghostface Killah & Method Man: House Of Flying Daggers: Craziest beat EVER, every verse comes hard, chorus is catchy and the video is nuts. They basically ripped hip-hop a new assshole

Marry me?

I love "What Goes Around" by Nas, in fact I love EVERY song on Stillmatic, but I guess "One Mic" is what kills this album. Damn.

And there's so many songs by Eminem that deserve to be in the top 10.. Entire TES deserves to be in the top 5 albums of the decade, it's perfect. Even "Drips".

I've only just checked out OB4CL2, so guess the songs gotta grow on me, but I'm enjoying it so far, I've given it like 2 full listens and I gotta admit, it's dope.

What Goes Around is my favorite song on Stillmatic. The beginning of the second verse is just fucking ill. The album was a little inconsistent (Rule & You're Da Man), but still dope.

[yoshi]

^ Stillmatic became my fave Nas album from the very beginning, it was his first album I'd heard and instantly fell in love with it.

My fave part from What Goes Around:

the china-men built the railroad
the Indians saved the Pilgrim
and in return the Pilgrim killed em
They call it it Thanksgiving, i call your holiday hellday
cause I'm from poverty, neglected by the wealthy

It's impossible to pick just top 10 damn it

[Tornado]

Marry me?

Sure, if you don't mind being one of 4 we'll go to vegas and i never said choose a top 10. Plus there were hundreds of others in my mind now but i don't think they're fucking absolutely essential, it suits my taste

That's EXACTLY my favorite part. Especially the Pilgrim bar. You mind-reader.

[yoshi]

That's how I do. *mind-reading high 5*

[Fa-Q]

Nas - America

Eminem - Stan


those are tied for me

[Tash8]

i can't do this... i tried.. i just can't...

i'm pathetic.. i know..

[dR3]

Nas - Ether

One of the best diss tracks of all time, he literally murdered Jigga

[Xray]

1. Dr. Dre - Still D.R.E.

This is easily one of my favourite songs of all time. Dre just fucking kills this, whether Jay wrote the lyrics or not, that doesn't even matter to me. I think if Jay-Z recorded those lyrics on a track of his, I wouldn't like it. But only because Dre captured the delivery of the track superbly and he made those lyrics sound ten times better with his voice, and Snoops hook is amazing. Released 99, but since the album is called 2001, and the sound of the album sounds like from a new decade, this decade, I'ma add this. When this track comes on, I drop everything and just listen to it with full concentration, gotta love Dre just for this track alone.

2. Eminem - The Way I Am

Best flow I've ever heard period. Just look at the time it was made, and rappers still can't top a flow like that. Probably one of the best beats I've heard as well as Eminem's best beat. This track is a trademark of one of Eminem's styles, and I think no one can be as angry as that yet really define how pissed off they are and prove it on a track. Just wow.

3. Eminem - Till I Collapse (feat. Nate Dogg)

One of the best hooks I've ever heard along with crazy lyricism on every verse of the song makes this song superior as fuck. Love this track, it's definitely the best track on TES. Plus that beat is one of the best beats I've heard. Very inspirational song.

4. Canibus - Watch Who U Beef Wit

This track really opened my eyes to how sick Canibus really is. The street theme of it just gets me every time, it makes me hype as fuck and ready for whatever. Inspires the hell out of me everytime I listen to it. One of the best Canibus songs IMO.

5. D12 - Fight Music

Hell yeah, this song made it a fact that D12 aren't to be fucked with, specially during the time of its release. The whole album is crack and one of the best group albums IMO, I can easily put that album in my top 5 group albums. It just makes me so hype, I love the beat that snare is crack. One of the best D12 songs, and the video is amazing haha specially since the them of it was from The Warriors one of my fav movies of all time/game. LOVE THIS TRACK.

6. Royce Da 5'9 - Take His Life (feat. Tre Little)

I love this track, the beat, the hook, the raw lyrics damn shit is just a classic. I used to listen to this last year non stop when I became a Royce stan, it just made everything ok. Bad mood? bumps track, and its all good. Can tell a track is one of your fav if it does that to you. LOVE IT!

7. Nas - Drunk by Myself

This has to be my favourite Nas song of this decade. This track should have been on Stillmatic, the production and style of it sounds like Stillmatic material. But the content of it, takes it to another level for me. I love the beat, and I love the lyrics. This song has helped me get through stressing times of this year, and it still is. Written beautifully, and I want that beat so fucking bad!

8. Jedi Mind Tricks - When All Light Dies

I wanted to add my favourite song from S.I.H.K.I.H. I love this track, the beat is amazing. Vinnie's delivery sounds emotional as fuck and the lyrics are depressing as hell. Amazing song, and one of the best Jedi Mind track. The realest shit from Vinnie in terms of keeping it street/real/emotional all at the same time. Not sure if I love the beat more than the verses though lmao.

9. Canibus - Dead By Design

Newest addition to my list of fav songs. I truly can not believe this track was made in 2009. It's just far beyond its time, nothing released this year even stands close to this song, its like Canibus version of The Way I Am and I love the Illuminati references. This track makes me so fucking hype for his album. Best song of 2009 hands down. And for a song like this to even release this year, which has been probably the most disappointing year for Hip Hop in terms of actual music, but the returns of the great have been great.


10. Obie Trice - Average Man

Obie Trice- Average Man: This is the raw detroi hip-hop shit, quite simply the BEST opening to an album EVER bar none. The beaqt is suitabaly eerie and Obie spits smart but raw lyrics to have you bopping your head slowly.

Co-motherfuckin-sign. I love this track, and like Tornado said, one of the best openers for an album period. My fav Obie song and it gives me chills everytime I listen to it.

Hope I didn't miss anything, if I did... oh well I'm human.

[Ella]

lol hate to break it to ppl but 2001 by Dre was release in 99.. not in this decade
