Title says it all. List what you think is the best lyrical hip-hop songs according to you. (Not favorite, just what you think is lyrically the best)

Mine: (From first to last)

1. God Bless The Dead - 2Pac

It really makes me wonder why this wasn't released in an album when he was alive. Every lyric hits you like a tonne of bricks. The melody and lyrics work in harmony so good that I find it near impossible to beat.

2. Holler If Ya Hear Me - 2Pac

The man is spitting the words at you in so hard it's hard to hear, yet almost every line on paper is poetic. But besides that, even listening to a single line off it makes you just put into consideration how much of a talent this musician is.

3. Juicy - Biggie

Just an incredible song. It's so easy to hang on every word because it I've never come across a song where each line works into the next - pure genius.

4. Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em - Rakim

Some have sampled, but to me the original can never be beat.

5. Gimmie The Loot - Biggie

Just so good in every word. Easily the greatest rapper with natural flow who ever walked.

Big L & Eminem was close to be in there, but they are mine. List yours. :)

Nas - N.Y. State of Mind
The Notorious B.I.G. - Suicidal Thoughts
Big L - Freestyle '98
Lupe Fiasco - Dumb it Down
Madvillain - Great Day

These are off the top of my head, anyways. If I sat down and thought about it for a solid while the list might change a bit but these are all incredible songs in terms of lyrics. No order intended.
