The Nigga Song of course!

[Leavinh 313]

I think "u" by Kendrick Lamar is probably my favorite at the moment. I'd even say that To Pimp a Butterfly is my favorite Hip Hop album.

I have quite a few favorite rap songs

 

Gangsters Paradise (1995) 
Baby Got Back (1992)

Thrift Shop (2013)

Rap God (2013)

anaconda (2014)

 

just naming a few 
I think rap really shines as a genre when there is actual thought put into the lyrics and Im more of a fan of insightful and thoughtful rap and 3 out of the 5 songs listed do fall into that category IMO 

[Omar 692]

Lecrae - FAKIN Feat. Thi'sl

 

Lecrae - I'm turnt

 

Lecrae - Just Like you

 

These are probably my favorite.

Slick Rick is my favourite. His songs are essentially stories.

 

 

This one in particular is about two children who rob people for the hell of it. One of the kids comes addicted to robbing, and attempts to rob an undercover detective. He is then chased by the police, who is then gunned down by them. 

 

TL;DR Version: Don't rob people.

[Leonard Smix 421]

BUFFALO BRONY!!! He sings the best songs

[The Awesome One 1,315]

Almost all of the Eminem songs as well as some by Ice Cube and Tupac. However most rap songs are just a little too thug for my liking so I don't listen to this genre that much.

[Floris 287]

This has to be a diamond opportunity, yo!

I don't listen to a lot of rap, but I would have to say Feel Good Inc by the Gorilaz, or if you count it as a rap Que Ondo Guerro by Beck

I usually like rock/infused rap like Linkin' Park, Transplants, Beastie Boys, Rage Against the Machine and such. I haven't really opened myself up to the Rap genre much though to be honest. I always had a lot of respect towards Tupac though I know that much. 

[Mars Orbit 729]

Bad Ma F*cka - brother ali

Freedom ain't free - Brother Ali

Leaving the Past - Immortal Technique

Creation and Destruction (don't mean anything it just sounds great) - Immortal Technique

Many Men - 50 Cent

Uncommon Valor - Jedi Mind Tricks

Dance with the devil - Immortal Technique (WARNING: THIS SONG GETS HEAVY)

Self taught - Brother Ali

That reminds me of one by KRS!

 

 

A lot of old rap is like that, ones that tell stories.

[Discordian 6,015]

I don't really listen to much rap and when I do it's usually a mix with another genre like Hollywood Undead.

 

My favorite rap (which may not actually be rap but I think it is) is songs from the Anarchy Reigns soundtrack. Example:

The new Blade of the Ronin album by Cannibal Ox is pretty killer.
