Jay-Z - Heart of the City (Ain't No Love)

Off of The Blueprint, Jay speaks to his haters over Kanye West production. Really nice beat/hook on here. 

Young fucks spitting at me, young rappers getting at me,

My nigga B.I.G. predicted the shit exactly.

"More money, more problems" - gotta move carefully,

Cause faggots hate when your getting money like atheletes.

Method Man & Redman - Da Rockwilder

Classic track from back in 2000. Occupied the most played track in my iTunes before I had my computer restored. Only thing bad about this is that its only a little bit over 2 minutes long.

Cover me I'm going in, walls closing in,

Got us busting off these pistols

My niggas got issues...again, same song

Armed with the mega bomb

Blow you out the frame and I'm gone.

Lil' Wayne - BM J.R.

When you have as many songs as Wayne does, it's almost impossible to pick the best of them, but this track is up among the top 3. Released on Tha Carter, back in his prime, it has similar structure as "A Milli", no hook only hard bars.

Don't confuse me with the law, naw, just confuse me with my pa

Because I am the Birdman J-R.

I ain't tripping nigga, I play the corner like Ripkin nigga,

With the 40 cal Ripkin nigga, rip a nigga,

Flip ya vehicle, split ya windshield,

Wack ya baby momma but I let the kid live.

Andy McKee - Drifting

I don't think I've met anyone who hasn't been amazed by this. Andy McKee is able to reproduce the sound of multiple acoustic guitars and percussion by himself only using his one guitar. Really great song.

Slaughterhouse - Back On The Scene (feat. Dres)

This is one of the few tracks on the Slaughterhouse EP that the group used to end their label requirements before moving to Shady. Complete with a Black Sheep sample on the hook.

What you acting hard for?

Don't spill escargot on yourself and get slugs in your clothes.

Game - Rough (feat. Yelawolf)

Another unfinished Game song that I really hope makes it onto the R.E.D. album. Really personal song that Yelawolf kills. It's clearly unfinished as there is no hook, but hopefully a more complete version of this will drop soon.

That I could ever be accepted the way I saw it

I mean I knew it would be hard but really, come on y'all,

Oh I'm a redneck? "Fuck you" tatted on my neck,

I'll sip High Life in a can at the Grammy's now add that to my rep bitch.
