I realize that not all of us have the same taste, but I urge you to be open minded. I hope you find something you like. If not, well at least you get a taste of what I enjoy listening to. I can't keep all of these precious gems to myself, I have to share them, so here you go. The Beatles - Here Comes The Sun -[link]- This is just a FEEL GOOD song. I could listen to this one over and over and never get tired of it. Definitely gets me in the mood for that summer weather. Ice Cube - A Gangsta's Fairytale -[link]- A hilarious spin on fairytales, the great video definitely adds to it. OutKast - Babylon -[link]- OutKast before they hit it big. Deep lyrics, and a mind-blowingly orgasmic chorus. Common - Be -[link]- This is a beautiful song. Common's inspiring lyrics blend with what I consider to be Kanye West's best produced song ever. Tupac & Biggie - Runnin' -[link]- Instead of picking separate tracks, I decided to give you a song I feel represents them very well. This song was made after their deaths. The video gives off a creepy vibe seeing their spirits at work, raising the volume, spinning the track, knowing these men are not with us anymore. Blink-182 - Adam's Song -[link]- These are the kind of bands I listened to during my childhood. When I listen to this I reminisce of the past and vibe to the sad mood it gives off. It's hard to explain, but its a good feeling. Westside Connection - Bow Down -[link]- Just a west coast banger, gets me pumped! D'Angelo - Brown Sugar -[link]- This will get the lady in bed. Little Brother - War -[link]- A current rap act that I actually enjoy! Diablo - Tristram -[link]- The best video game music ever recorded. Very chilling! Del Tha Funkee Homosapien - Virus -[link]- Great song about conducting a computer virus. Sound like the rap you hear on the radio or MTV? I didn't think so.. Daft Punk - One More Time -[link]- French duo Daft Punk bring us a groovy tune. Kddude will fancy this video.. Wu-Tang Clan - Method Man -[link]- Did you really think I would go through this list without naming a Wu-Tang song? This is off their first album, and is SOOOOOO chill!!! The Roots - Here I Come -[link]- The funkiest group this side of Philly. Who says rappers don't have live instruments? Can't wait to see these guys live in June. Dangermouse & Jemini - Ghetto Pop Life -[link]- Before Dangermouse brought us Gnarls Barkley, he brought us Jemini, a rapper with a unique voice and great flow. Nas - Dance -[link]- A touching song by Nas about his dead mother. Just wanting to see her one last time..sad!! but beautiful. GZA - Queen's Gambit -[link]- GZA of Wu-Tang. This song is a love story, but wait, is he throwing out football metaphors? OMG!! See how many teams and references you can get.. The Offspring - Original Prankster -[link]- Another childhood favorite I still love. Public Enemy - Black Is Back -[link]- Public Enemy song from their latest album, came out last year. Not relevant anymore? This song will change your mind! Classic Public Enemy. Nas ft. AZ - Life's A Bitch -[link]- A song off Nas' acclaimed debut album Illmatic. Many consider it to be the best hip-hop album ever. Aesop Rock - No Regrets -[link]- A song that follows the story of Lucy, a girl who grows up to be obsessed with her paintings. May be hard to follow if you aren't an avid listener of rap. LCD Soundsystem - Daft Punk Is Playing At My House -[link]- This one will make you nod your head. Big L - Put It On -[link]- Classic gritty NY rap. Sadly, this man passed in 99'. A Tribe Called Quest - Check The Rhime -[link]- THE song that made me realize there is more to music than what I hear on the radio. My friend had this video on his Xanga and I HAD to own it. Fucking classic right here. My personal favorite Tribe song. Atmosphere - The Woman With The Tattooed Hands -[link]- This song is magical, listen to the story. Great production also. MF Doom - Potholderz -[link]- This is my favorite MF Doom song. Soo sick. Doom is a hit or miss guy, personally I love him. I'm sure Madvillain will appreciate this. Gangstarr - Moment of Truth -[link]- This one really makes me think. One of the best rap songs ever created. "Actions have reactions, don't be quick to judge/You may not know the hardships people don't speak of" LOVE that line. Radiohead - No Surprises -[link]- Beautiful song by Radiohead. Rakim - I Ain't No Joke -[link]- The beginning of the Golden Age of hip-hop. One of the first 'real' lyricists. Sam Cooke - (What A) Wonderful World -[link]- BEAUTIFUL song. Sam Cooke had so much soul, I'd take him over Marvin Gaye any day (No disrespect to Marvin!). Jurassic 5 - What's Golden -[link]- AWESOME Post-millenium hip-hop!! Found an awesome video for it too. Kool-Aid FTW! Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner -[link]- This song is over 12 minutes long, it was cut in half and I can't find it. Anyway, this is still a great 6+ minutes. This song is from my favorite Iron Maiden album, Powerslave. Love the lyrics to this one. and YES, I prefer Iron Maiden over Led Zep. Sue me. Rage Against The Machine - Bullet In The Head -[link]- My personal favorite Rage song..so good!! Talib Kweli - Move Somethin' -[link]- Banger right here!! Talib, straight outta Philly. KRS-ONE - Outta Here -[link]- KRS-ONE!? Sound familiar? Yes, Sublime frontman Bradley Nowell devoted a song to him. This man drops the street knowledge over hardcore beats. Immortal Technique - You Never Know -[link]- DEEP DEEP song, I'm sure most of you have heard Dance With The Devil, so here is another vivid song for you to dwell on. Coldplay - The Scientist -[link]- These guys are NOT Radiohead ripoffs, and Tom Yorke could only DREAM of having a voice like Chris Martin. This is my favorite music video ever. Beautiful song, mesmerizing video. Rammstein - Du Hast -[link]- OMG!!! I could headbang to this all day. Unique video too. Brother Ali - Forest Whitiker -[link]- Inspiring lyrics, the studio version is even BETTER but I can't find it  . Oh well, try and appreciate the raw honesty of this song!!eMC - Winds of Change -[link]- The new hip-hop supergroup with frontman Masta Ace. This is off their concept album The Show, which came out last week!! The album follows the group through their road tour, with skits detailing their bus rides, shows, etc. Fucking brilliant, my favorite album of 2008 thus far. Cool song comparing the past to the present. Limp Bizkit - N 2 Gether Now -[link]- Another 1 from my childhood. The beat was crafted by DJ Premier, AKA the most respected DJ in rap history, and half of the group Gangstarr. Also Method Man from the Wu-Tang Clan is in this. Banger!! Goodie Mob - Soul Food -[link]- Great song about food, makes you hungry  And puts you in a good mood!Sublime - Same In The End -[link]- One of the best Sublime songs. I LOVE Sublime so much. R.I.P. Bradley. De La Soul ft. A Tribe Called Quest & The Jungle Brothers - Buddy -[link]- Classic right here, go ahead and check it out. FEEEEEEEEEL GOOOOD song. So groovy. Nine Inch Nails - The Good Soldier -[link]- I started getting into NIN a little before Year Zero was released. Now I consider it to be one of my favorite non hip-hop albums, and i'll check out some of their other material soon. Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Dogg - Still D.R.E. -[link]- Dr. Dre at his best..making West Coast bangers. Gravediggaz - 1-800 Suicide -[link]- A rap group consisting of RZA from Wu-Tang, Prince Paul, Frukwan, and Too Poetic. This is 'Horrorcore' rap. A sub-genre that drags you into the murky depths of hell and never lets go. Gravediggaz are considered one of the first Horrorcore acts. Check out this classic song.. Well, that's all for now. Hope you found something you enjoy. I have many more albums I want to get, but here is what I picked out from my current collection of over 4,000 songs. Enjoy. Edited Mon Mar 31 2008, 10:11AM |

aww wu that song is crack, the beat is nuts and even Count Bass does work on the track. "Don't forget ya potholderz" the lyrics behind the song is soo ill... personally, id recommend the whole "MadVillain" album but thats just me... Ill check out the list in detail after class, i see alotta high profile songs Adams song by Blink is one of the craziest songs i have ever heard, hands down. the backround behind the song, the lyrics, and the beat jus makes this song jus soo good. oh yea if u guys have any extra time look up "Deep Fried Frienz" i promise if you really listen, the song will hit hard.
