[charizard]

random order

hit em up
best rapper alive

[jcrules99]

Still dre
hit em up
umm bad intentions lol

[Sharpie]

Tough decision

Nate dogg and warren G- Regulators
Lost Boyz- In love with 2 women
Lost Boyz- 1,2,3 thousand problems

Those are off the top of my head. I am sure if i looked through my library it would change...

[turbotrip]

1. Tupac- Baby Don't Cry
2. DMX- I Miss You
3. Nas- Gangsta Tears

Best Canadian: K'naan-Strugglin / Rascalz- Top of the World

[KuruptEX]

hit em up - 2Pac
ny state of mind - NaS
Who Ride Wit Us - Kurupt ft Daz

[Clanche]

Swollen Members - Deep End

its old school underground (1999 album)... amazing smooth beat with flowing lyrics

maybe thats just me though.. not a big fan of the gangsta-bling-bling stuff.. i liked when rap was a form of music.. not a statement about lambos, brand sponsoring and gangbanging chicks

trip-hop for life anyways

[aram1000]

My top 3:

Jazzy Belle - Outkast
Juicy - Notorious
Regulators - Warren G

There are a lot of other songs that could be in here as well, these are the ones that stand out in my mind, its hard to rate the best 3.

As a side note, one of my favourite flows of all time is Biggie's flow in Victory, I can't think of one much better, but bottom line, hip hop from the mid to late 90's is the best time period for rap in my mind, the only artist since that period that has really blown me away is kanye west

[statick]

, you guys have a lot of good lists. In a random order my list would be:

The Roots featuring Eve and Jill Scott - You Got Me
Common featuring Lauryn Hill - Retrospect For Life
Tupac - My Burnin' Heart
Notorious B.I.G - J.U.I.C.Y
A Tribe Called Quest - Find My Way
DMX - Let Me Fly Or Give Me Death

If you think my list is too long, don't hesitate to divide it by two .

[Hakkola]

There's way too many good old school songs for me to pick 3 favorites, but I'll do it anyway.

Tribe Called Quest - Stressed Out
Lost Boys - Renee
Twista and Puff Daddy - Is this the end?
There's also a lot of Roots and Common and B.I.G and Pac I could put on this list.

Canadian (I can't pick only 3)
DL Incognito ft. D-Shade - Universal Love
Dl Incognito - Out the box
Dl Incognito - Life's a collection of Experiences
Saukrates - Missed your chance
Saukrates - Money or love
Saukrates - Comin up
Maestro - backbone slide
Maestro - these eyes
Maestro - drop the needle
Infinite - gotta get mine

Too many songs but whatever.

Hey man, if I kept on going you'd see KRS and Naughty by Nature on there, they had some damn good songs, who can forget O.P.P and Written on Your kitten and Step into your world and so many other classics from those two, then there's Nas, and Jay-z with some classics, I could keep going, I said Tribe, how about L.O.N.S ? These are just the artists, try to pick their best songs.
