List your top 5 lyrically greatest hip-hop songs
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.
