Great Rap Songs

alot of eminems songs are humorous. his first album was loaded with comedy. now he is begging to be more serious.

 

Eminem had songs talking about killing his wife. He had a song making fun of MJ, D 12 have funny stuff. afroman has funny songs.

 

still, to me, the only decent rap is the rap that's barely rap and more parody meant to make one go "god, that's gonna get annoying soon". lol.

 

bone thougs in fresno yesssssssssssssssssssss. to bad i have no money

 

this is my song only my 3rd time hearing it
T :: Twista :: Kamikaze :: Hope lyrics
Twista
Hope
feat. Cee-Lo

[Twista talking]
Man, I know we had a lot of tragedies lately.
I just wanna say rest in peace to Aaliyah,
Rest in peace to Left Eye,
Rest in peace to Jam Master Jay,
And everybody lost in the Twin Towers,
And everybody lost period.
All we got is HOPE!!

[VERSE 1 (Twista)]
I wish the way I was living could stop, serving rocks,
Knowing the cops is hot when I’m on the block, And I
Wish my brother woulda made bail,
So I won’t have to travel 6 hours to see him in jail, And I
Wish that my grandmother wasn’t sick,
Or that we would just come up on some stacks and hit a lick, And I (I wish)
Wish my homies wouldn’t have to suffer,
When the streets get the upper hand on us and we lose a brother, And I
Wish I could go deep in a zone,
And lift the spirits of the world with the words within this song, And I (I wish)
Wish I could teach a soul to fly,
Take away the pain out cha hands and help you hold them high, And I
Wish God never gave the men power
To be able to hurt the people inside the Twin Towers, And I (I wish)
Wish God woulda turned they hearts righteous,
When they started to take innocent lives and become snipers, But uh
We will never break, do not devastate, we shall motivate,
And we gotta pray, all we got is faith.
Instead of thinking about who gonna die to day,
The Lord is gonna help you feel better, so you ain’t gotta cry today.
Sit at the light so long,
And then we gotta move straight forward, cuz we fight so strong,
So when right go wrong,
Just say a little prayer, get ya money man, life go on!!!
Let’s HOPE!

[CHORUS (Cee-Lo)]
Cuz I’m hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away,
And be hopeful (hopeful) and He’ll make a way
I know it ain’t easy but that’s okay.
Let’s be hopeful!

[VERSE 2 (Twista)]
I wish that you could show some love,
Instead of hatin so much when you see some other people comin up (I wish)
I wish I could teach the world to sing,
Watch the music and have ‘em trippin of the joy I bring, (shiit)
I wish that we could hold hands,
Listen instead of dissin lessons from a grown man, And I (I wish)
Wish the families that lack, but got love, get some stacks
Brand new shack and a lack that’s on dubs, And I
Wish we could keep achieving wonders,
See the vision of the world through the eyes of Stevie Wonder, (you feel me) (I wish)
And I hope all the kids eat,
And don’t nobody in my family see six feet, (ya dig)
I hope them mothers stand strong,
You can make it whether you wit him or your mans gone, And I (I wish)
Wish I could give every celly some commissary,
And the popo bring the heat on them priest like they did R. Kelly, And I
Wish that DOC could scream again
And bullets could reverse so Pac and Biggie breath again, (shit) (I wish)
Then one day they could speak again,
I wish that we only saw good news every time we look at CNN,
I wish that enemies could talk,
And that super homie Christopher Reeves could still walk, (I wish)
I wish that we could walk a path, stay doin the right thing
Hustle hard so the kids maintain up in the game,
Let’s HOPE

[CHORUS (Cee-Lo)]
Cuz I’m hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away,
And be hopeful (hopeful) and He’ll make a way
I know it ain’t easy but that’s okay.
Let’s be hopeful!

[VERSE 3 (Twista)]
Wish the earth wasn’t so apocalyptic,
I try to spread my message to the world the best way that I can give it,
We can make it always so optimistic,
If you don’t listen gotta live my life the best way that I can live it,
I pray for justice when we go to court,
Wish it was all good so the country wouldn’t have to go to war,
Why can’t we kick it and just get em on,
And in the famous words of Mr. King “Why can’t we all just get along?”,
Or we can find a better way to shop in peace, And I
Hope we find a better way to cop a keys, And I
Wish everybody would just stop and freeze,
And ask way are we fulfillin these downfalls and these prophecies,
You can be wrong if it’s you doubting,
With the faith of a must to see you can move mountains,
And only the heavenly father can ease the hurt,
Just let it go and keep prayin on your knees in church!!
And let’s HOPE

[CHORUS (Cee-Lo) 2X]
Cuz I’m hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away,
And be hopeful (hopeful) and he’ll make a way
I know it ain’t easy but that’s okay.
Let’s be hopeful!

 

IF u hate lil jon you need to hear a song called whack Rappers
at
http://www.afromanmusic.com/frameset.htm
but dont get the other songs their just samples

 

Auslander, I'm just saying you haven't heard the right things.

Please, if you do 1 thing this post, download the following

The Grouch - Simple Man

I promise you this song will change your view of rap. In a good way.

 

Samhain....Death In Its Arms...my fav. woops thats not rap. oh yeah i HATE rap with a passion and will NEVER change my mind PERIOD !!!!!

 

Your basking in your own ignorance aabbccdd.


'Nuff said.

 

NO tekk i forget more about music than you will probably EVER know .like i said in other post iam 46 and white and live in rural Indiana so i cant relate to rap in ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM PERIOD. I was rasied on led Zeppelin ,Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Grand Funk Railroad . so i hope you get my point that i REALLY REALLY hate rap with a passion. and will never like it or listen to it period and i think we had enough threads on this subject and need to drop it.

 

aabbccdd, dont say you hate rap PERIOD. you may not like it but dont say you hate it becuase like you said, you had no exposure to it whatsoever.

 

yeah your right solargame i havent had any exposure to it or WILL I EVER lol . i just dont see any white guys my age listening to the crap oh i mean rap. (crap rap whats the difference anyway) i will leave it to you young guys to listen to it and i will stick with my Black Sabbath VOL.4 album

 

u do like c*** dont u. i mean u do like rock dont u. im just joking but dont say rap is crap cause rock sound you know. now we are even i hope

 

lets play a game. can u gust the name of the song.

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left
Cause I've been blastin and laughing so long that
Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone

 

Then why the f*ck are u posting, moron? Obviously you're only trying to enflame actual contributors to this post. So put up, shut up, or get the hell out.

So your an idiot basically?

So your ignorant, a stereotypical hick, and an idiot? You def get the biggest dousche award for this thread. With your off topic replys, and ridiculous comments - you sir, most def deserve this award.

Yes there is a difference. Crap is what comes out of your mouth. Rap is what comes out of mine. By the way, you being 46 in Indiana only proves how your ignorance is a side-effect of 1) your culture at the time of childhood, one of racism and seperatist actions. 2) the fact that you can't change, bet things were like the good 'ole days? Where everyone was too coked out to come out with good music past their short-lived era?



Basically, I laugh at your ignorance, and your douschebaggery.

 

no one here is unbiased, and with most people, they either love rap or hate it with a passion. so, you guys better drop it and lose the growing flame war now, or i'm willing to bet this thread will be closed soon. no more egging anyone on.

 

Well yeah, but if this is a rap thread, and you don't like it, what other purpose do you have other than to aggrivate the other, legimate contibutors to this posting

 

raising one's voice to an antagonizer never ends an argument. the whole "pwned" thing doesn't help. if a member is posting in an unfit manner, you report an offensive post and go on about your normal conversation, doing what you can to ignore the offender.

 

iam just here to undermind rap in anyway i can since i really despise it OMG so much lol ..Led Zeppelin rules forever
