Favorite Rap Songs

I love this thread already.....


I'm not really a rap fan. It has its moments...but it just doesn't do it for me.


HOWEVER...


There are a few rap/hip hop tunes which I have heard over the years that are STAPLES of Scottys rap collection (however small it may be).

Normally I would ask to see everyones favorite rap/hiphop song, but I
know you guys. I ask for one, and everyone responds with....

"I have too many....so here are all of them...."

and then we have 15 pages of songs...


I want your top 5... NO MORE THAN FIVE. Do you hear me? Dammit!! This is

my thread and I make the rules!!!

Ok...now that we are clear on that....



I'm going to do mine David Letterman style.


5. Bust a Move- Young MC

4. Parents Just Don't Understand- Will Smith

3. Regulate- Nate Dogg and Warren G

2. I Need Love- LL Cool J



I think that I'm missing a song... so I'm leaving room for something else....

You may notice that all but one of these songs are from the 80's


THATS RIGHT BABY!!!!!!

im not even sure i can think of five rap songs i like, its not really my genre, but here goes:

5. lose yourself--eminem
4. gangsta's paradise--coolio
3. fresh prince of belair--will smith

uh, thats all i can think of...thats sad all are tv/movie related

hmmmm...im going to give it some serious thought and edit later with a real list.

"he got game" - public enemy
"scenario" - tribe called quest
"gossip folks" -missy elliot



the only rap i'll listen to is listed above. yep.

1. Straight Outta Compton -nwa
2. F uck tha Police -nwa
3.Dopeman [Remix] -nwa
4.Niggaz 4 Life -nwa
5.Real Niggaz-nwa
6.Boyz-n-the Hood [Remix] -Eazy-E

On a more serious note....

And I'm not 'down wit' this particular genre so forgive spelling and other f uck-ups....

(No order)

- Run DMC & Aerosmith : 'Walk This Way' (?)
- A few tracks by the late, great Tupac/2pac
- MC Hammer : 'Can't touch this' (Yeah baby,dig those crazy pants/trousers)

Er, that's all I can think of at the moment.

'..So I'm back in the house, feelin' good to be home
'Til Lisa starts blowin' that damn saxophone
And if it was mine they'd only take it away
But still I'm feelin' good, so that's o....k

I'm up in my room, justa singing a song
Listening to the kick drums kicking along
Now Lisa likes jazz, she's a number one fan
But I know I'm bad, coz I 'Do the Bart Man'.... '


(That all came from a vague recollection of the lyrics coz I don't actually have a cassette player anymore. *Sob* And now I really want to listen to it again. Damn those new-fangled CD/MD combi thingamys.)

Go listen to my band. We're awesome.

..So I'm in the front yard
Mowin' like crazy
Sweatin' like a pig
Coz the sun is blazin'
Homer's in the driveway
Gettin' in the car with mom and Lisa, hope they're goin' real far.

Then dad yells 'Bart!'
And I go 'Yo!'
He go's 'You-done-yet?'
And I go 'No'
So he go's 'Oh! Your too slow!'
So-I-step-on-the-gas, to speed up the mo'

Didn't see that sprinkler underneath that tree
Went 'kersplersshh' sprayin' on me
I go 'Woah!' and Homers go's
'No! Now you can't go....... to the Boat Show'

This is my thanks after working my butt off?
Homer revs the motor and they all start to putt off
Soaked to the bone
Standing in a puddle
No-one needs to tell me I'm in 'Deep, Deep Trouble'...'

('Deep, Deep Trouble' Another Simpsons classic...)
