Inspired by the other rap artist thread... what's the best rap song ever? Not gonna do a poll cuz there's too many to list.

For me, it's Still D-R-E by Dre and Snoop... I could make a case for a number of songs(2pac's Changes may be a CLOSE 2nd) but this one does it for me.

Like any other music genre, it depends on type. Obviously there's "getting high or already high" songs, songs with actual meaning, songs telling a story, slow songs, fast songs, etc.

You have GOT to be kidding me. You really need to listen to more hip-hop.

Paperboy - Ditty or Rakim and Eric B - Paid in Full. I can't decide which is G.O.A.T.

I like songs, not artists.

2pac - dear mama ranks up there for me. its hard to narrow it down to one, because there's so many contrasting styles out there. gangstarrs 'moment of truth' would prolly be in my top 10 also. a beastie boys track or a run-dmc track would kind of be an insult also if i left them unmentioned....

edit: btw, 3 hip hop topics on the main page on OT, and with fairly successful participation, thought id never see the day...

I'm strictly a beats person as I've played various musical instruments for well over 12 years now (since I'm only 18, it's a considerable amount of time heh). My favorite beat ever is probably Kurupt - On Site. If you've watched the And1 basketball volume's then you've probably heard it before.

2pac ~ I Ain't Mad At Ya

That's as close to my fav rap song as I can get. It's hard for me to pick just one though.

I was gonna list that as honorable mention. Along with "How do you want it?" and Biggie's "Hypnotize" (ironically)
