While we are at it...more hip-hop classics and masterpieces.

Jay-Z - Dead Presidents, Part 1. I like 2 better personally, but they are honestly both ridiculous. Also, notice the Nas sample.

Part 2.

One of my favorite, and in my opinion one of Em's best. Shit is deep and relatable.

Eminem - Rock Bottom

LOL, I could fill this shit up with hundreds of songs...but I figure I'll stop for now...it's so hard to choose anyway.
MacWQ33 Reviewed by MacWQ33 on . The Real Hip-Hop Appreciation Thread ...it isn't quite dead yet. Just not on your tv or radio. If you appreciate Nas and Jay, The Lox, The Roots, Common (new album end of the month) Mos, Kweli, Joe Budden, Lupe, Rakim, old school cats like Daddy Kane, Cassidy, Fab, Papoose, Saigon or any other artist thats still making good music Recommended Tracks for the day: Joe Budden: Dumb Out, 3 Sides to a Story Lupe Fiasco: Twilight Zone Jay-Z: Ignorant Shit The Roots: Clock with no Hands; What they do Light up and zone out...1 Rating: 5
