For my other classic hip-hop fans - Emerald - 01-02-2014
10)Dirty Mef - Method Man ft. Ol' Dirty Bastard (2006)
So this one isn't that old but I thought was definitely worth putting on here especially because of ODB.
Just a classic gem of an instrumental, and brought back that amazing Wu-Tang creativity.

9) Hip-Hop Fury - GZA (1999)
GZA is a crazy good lyricist with an amazing flow! And listen to that instrumental!
Yeah, it's pretty different but I think that's what sets the tracks apart from the regular songs.

8) We Gon' Ill - Blaq Poet (2005)
Premier on the beat, what else can I say, besides the fact the poet absolutely kills every part of this song.
I love the classic scratches, and the rough sound of the instrumental.

7) The Format - AZ (2006)
I love AZ on this track, his metaphors and vocabulary are awesome,
and he just completes the Premier instrumental. Personally I feel like AZ is always overlooked.

6) Mathematics - Mos Def (1999)
Holy shit, Mos Def drops some real knowledge on this song.
Everything about this song is just perfect.
One of those nostalgic songs.

5) I Got 5 on It - Luniz (1995)
If you like to get high, this is a perfect song just to chill to.
Even if you don't smoke this is just a perfect song to vibe to when your driving or whatever.
All around just a great song.

4) Concrete Streets - Nate Dogg (2001)
I fucking love Nate Dogg, just listen to the G-Funk on this record.
Everything about this song just works together perfectly.
His voice goes perfectly with the hook.

3) Going All Out - Rawcotiks (1998)
There are loads of people who have never heard of Rawcotiks.
This is probably one of there better tracks, but personally I think
its a gem.

2) Don't Lose Your Head - Zion I (2007)
Normally I don't like songs with 808's because they're generally
shitty, but I think this song is still a song that had some talent before
we moved into the shitty trap era.

1) Fandango - DJ Quik (2006)
I first heard this song on SR3, but I listened to alot of other stuff.
The I heard him on GTA5 with his track Dollaz & Sense. He was, at
one point Snoop Doggs DJ and producer.

Mos Def is the only artist on the list that I USED to be into. Before he got deep into acting, he was a hot, intelligent rap artist. (Fortunately, he is one of the rappers who can act.)

You are missing a lot.
The Pharcyde
ATCQ
Common
Madvillain
I would like you to take a listen to these artists and I think you would enjoy the words and feelings put into their music.

Thanks for the feedback. I will definitely look into them. I used to occasionally listen to Common. I may do another 10 soon. Keep in mind that these are not "Top 10," nor are they in order.
RE: For my other classic hip-hop fans - LindaKay - 01-13-2014
Thanks for the great list.
I listen to Backspin on Sirius radio and really like some of the older stuff that they play. I will have to check some of these songs out -- I don't recognize the names of a lot of them, but I bet I'll know them when I hear them.
