Probably my favorite song ever.</div>

Mine too

As for Dead Prez, B for that song, not a great fan of the song. I respect their political stance, just a bit too hardcore for me. I like em' though.

Mos Def -- Umi Says</div>

A+++

I was seconds away from posting that video myself. It's one of my favorite songs all-time in any genre. I originally found out about it through that Jordan commercial that was running in the late 90's, and that was the first time I ever listened to Mos Def, who's one of my favorite artists to this day. Very soulful song...

New Song:

Tupac - Pain

(my favorite from Pac)

You can disregard the Sprewell footage and listen to the song;

American Dream - Children of the Corn

Love COC, shame they never really got the chance to make a name for themselves. They had so much potential too.

ATCQ sampled the same beat, the original is apparently by Minnie Riperton called "Inside My Love".

ahhhh, knew it sounded familiar...

 

The Beatnuts are great. That's not one of my favorites from them, but it's still hot. Grade: B

Awesome song, one of my favourite Pun songs, I prefer the original, but the instrumental on this version was sick.

C+

I really don't know why, but I'm not feeling it to much. The lyrics aren't really attracting me, but maybe I might grow to like it after a few listens.

In my opinion, this is one of those hard to come by pieces of work. Great stuff.

 

That's an A+ on sweet dance moves alone.

B

Not bad, Esoteric is in there so thats a big plus.

A I love Techque! Here's mine...

Dumate -- Mercury Rising

 

Sasha, you're file got taken off. I figure I'll start this thread up again.

Busta Rhymes ft. Ozzy Osbourne - This Means War

I'm a big Busta fan, but that gets the slant. I'm never been a fan of rappers remaking classic rock songs. This, however, is much better than Puffy's version of Kashmir. C-
