List your top 5 lyrically greatest hip-hop songs

[Rocket Edge]

I posted this thread a few years ago. Mine are pretty much still the same but I'm interested if anyone has any differences since the last thread - and of course our new members.

Nothing really changes in mine:

1. God Bless the Dead - 2Pac

It's still my favourite rap song. The second verse in particular demonstrates why I love this musician so much.

2. Dead Presidents - Biggie

Thanks to Red Pill because I didn't know this song until I put up this last thread. It's amazing.

3. Holler If Ya Hear Me - 2Pac

"I guess what just cause I'm black born, I'm supposed to sing songs and get capped on!" - in the space of 3 seconds?

4. I used to love H.E.R - Common

I love this man.

5. Plant A Seed - Lost Boyz

Well, I suppose it's not the most lyrically blessed song but it's great. Much like 'Mind's playin' tricks on me'" or "Paparazi' from Xzibit. Love it all the same.
