best rap song ever....

Sorry, no arguments here on this one guys. This is the hands down winner.

However the Wu Tang shouts were amazing and I would agree, the Common I Used To Love Her comes very close to this tune.

Good to read about music on here and not some over rated Morrissey shite.

You know, I fell out of love with Rap a while ago, but it's this kind of stuff that gives me hope again. I know it's an old tune, but to be reminded of how great songs can be when it's not just about gangs, drinks, money, women and violence is always a good thing.

Oh, and THAT'S how to make a rap vid! I was impressed as that's how I vision things, too!

Here's one of my faves. Just cos it's a little different in perspective. Also a Mos Def classic...

The only good Rap 'song' of any kind would be a sodding instrumental.

You know what I have examples of 'instruments' and rap, so I hope you judgemental arses can swallow your idiotic pride...

Now, rap takes all forms. What you judges think about is that it's not in safe constructive format.

Or do you prefer this...?

Is this 'safe' enough for you to recognise?

How about this(with made up vid)?

Don't critique a music form you have NO CLEAR CLUE about, eh?
