I agree that it feels the 'easiest' answer, as in, the most obvious and expected but - that doesn't mean it's not right. I felt that as I said it, but I still feel it' genuinely is... I think a lot of people go out of their way to say rare songs just not to look obvious lmao.


Yeah I meant easiest as in most obvious and I believe that you genuinely believe that it is the best. It's inarguably a classic and a huge anthem. Very good song.

I do prefer other songs though. Lose Yourself is probably in my top 10 rap songs of all time. Either that or Stan, idk. What I think is the best changes but atm it's Hurt Me Soul. Have you heard it?


Yeah that's the thing though... what I was tryna get across is... I don't even listen to "Lose Yourself", like, ever. It's not like I adore the song daily, I enjoy many other songs more but just if we have to speak in 'greatest' terms as in just, a song that I feel is the epitome in almost every respect and the greatest balance and representation, I think that's it.

I've been trying to avoid this thread, because there would be an injustice to pick that "Best Hip-Hop song ever" because of the different layers and aspects that Hip-Hop songs can cover like Slim Fiasco said. I agree with him

Yeah, but OP is technically asking for your favorite so then she can download it if she hadn't heard it already.

Oh alright, my bad. Thanks Rev.

Well in that case I guess these could be in the mix

Changes - 2pac
One Love - Nas
The Message - Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five
Ms. Jackson - Outkast
DMX - Slippin

...just to name a few. and of course Lose Yourself

I wouldn't put it on my top 1, but Gangsta's Paradise, is really an incredible song.

Also love this one :

Kanye West - Jesus Walks
Kanye West - Can't Tell Me Nothing
Atmosphere - Your Glasshouse
Nas - One Mic
