Okay I know this is very hard but just attempt it, I'm rather curious to see what people have to say, i might learn a song or 2, oh and btw please refrain from putting a 50 cent song in your top 3 because the songs have to be good =]
Well thats good, I just cant stand music like that. To think about it, its not even music. anyways my picks are
1. Follow The Leader by Rakim
2. Halftime by Nas
3. N.Y State of Mind by Nas
I know this is a crappy list but its the 1st that came into my mind
I was going to throw a few out there, then just realized that it's not at all fair. Add a 0 to that 3, and then we'll talk. Consider who would get left out and for what..
"I'm Bad", "Paul Revere", "Juicy", "The World Is Yours", "Dead Presidents 2", "The Message", "Lyrics of Fury", "Fight the Power", "They Reminisce Over You", "CREAM", "Scenario".....
The list goes on and on, and I just love music, and real Hip Hop to even try and choose. I grew up on this shit. I can't do that.
without stating the obivous ie cream, i used to love her, t.r.o.y etc

He's wildin'! He's talking about everything!" Then I went out and got Illmatic: The first three joints that passed , I was like, "Ahhh." He kind of made me feel normal. For somebody to come out and spit fire and people to look at him, it made me feel regular. He did a lot for my career. He may not know that, but he did a lot for my career."—Rakim
