"Good" rap songs? Why do I have a feeling this isn't going to be a popular thread...

Orishas is a cuban-rap band - they rap in spanish, and although I don't understand it, it flows really well and they use real instruments (real bass, drums, horns, etc.)

East LA Sabor Factory, some old Nas stuff, Eminem freestyles, you can find this stuff if you look around

Get the real isht... The raw, underground hip-hop. Almost anything from the Living Legends, Project Blowed, Rhymesayers, Def Jux, Anticon, Hieroglyphics will satisfy your needs.
Need something more specific? Ask me, or PM me... whatevers... Nothing better than the propagation of good hip hop.

I highly recommend Blackalicious... Gift of Gab is an incredibly talented MC. Refer to the song "A to G" for proof :)

I've only heard one blackalicious song, but that was pretty good - also consider the beastie boys, that is excellence in rap right there. I don't think "Po Folks" by Nappy Roots got that much playtime, so consider that too.

Actually there are just 20 rap songs, they just change the tempo to make it seem like there are more
