EtH's Rap Song List

This is from an insanely large list of rappers and their discographies, where I'm writing down songs that I think are specifically worth remembering. Most of them will probably be well known, but the point is to try and find some stuff I hadn't heard from great rappers.

I have a huge list, starting with the "greatest of all time". I've currently done 2pac, Biggie, NaS, Jay Z, Eminem, Rakim and am currently going through Ghostface.

I've broken them into categories for different occasions.

The list is fucking insane. Like 500 rappers on it. I'll get to that stuff some day haha. My process of writing the list was to go through each original top 50 rappers discogs and add anyone they've collabbed with. I did Outkast last, so by the time I ever make it to like #500 it's just going to be hell listening to like 300 "dirty south" rappers in a row haha. Luckily after Ghostface I've just got a string of guys like Ice Cube, Scarface, Roots etc. which will be enjoyable.

Read Op. Havent got to NWA members yet. Also, got quite a few Biggie songs on there. Was never a huge fan of Who Shot Ya, but in like 2007 I made a dope remix of it using PCDJ with the beat from Luniz I Got 5 On It. I uploaded it to Jamglue and got loads of views. Lots of old as fuck references there haha.

Yeah Luniz had some really good shit, but nothing close to their main hit. Dunno where they are on my "great big list" but unfortunately pretty low down. Almost done Ghostface' discography and have a big collection of his features I'll bang through. I thought I'd have tonnes of Ghost on my list but Champ, which I've known for years, is really all I have (I've not included Wu Tang songs obv). I find a lot of these guys I love didn't really consistently put out what their big songs advertised.
