1. I M A M C R U 1 2
KRS-ONE
Produced by SUN-One for Ankh-Cestors Productions
2. ANTE UP
M.O.P.
A song of good energy, hype and power.
3. Crip Ya Enthusiasm
Snoop Dogg
I can't believe they actually sampled the Curb Your Enthusiasm intro for this.
4. Scenario
A Tribe Called Quest
The creativity of this music video was a whole new level. The edits, the flow, the timing of it all.
5. Do We Have A Problem?
Nicki Minaj ft. Lil Baby
She really gave us a new song AND a short film. She ate her verse, looks beautiful per usual, and proves again and again why she is the best female rapper and one of the best rappers to live.
6. Johnny P's Caddy
Benny The Butcher & J. Cole
J. Cole is on a different level here. Butcher always delivers. Amazing.
7. Death Row East
Nas
This is how you paint a potrait with words. Storytelling at it's finest. Nas is the Shakespeare of Hip-Hop.
8. It Was A Good Day
Ice Cube
It's 2022 and we are still here to hear again and again this masterpiece.
9. California Love
2Pac
A great song. It’s a funky, chirping, fever of noise, the sonic weirdness is boxed in by Roger Troutman’s robo charm, pummeled into acquiescence by Tupac’s fury, and weighed and measured by Dre’s steadiness.
10. Hip Hop
dead prez
Still the best bass line ever to date.
This song has aged unbelievably well. The lyrics are as relevant as ever in 2022, and it still sounds great.
