Common - "Be (Intro)" - One of my most favorite hip-hop songs ever put on tape. It's not even three minutes in length, but there's an hour of heart there.
Talib Kweli - "Get By" - See above sans running time comments.
The Throne f/ Otis Redding - "Otis" - One of the best beats/samples in the game in 2011.
The Notorious B.I.G. - "Juicy" - Classic. If you don't know this song bar for bar, go do your homework.
Lil Wayne - "A Milli" - What happened to this Weezy? Get back on the syrup, because Tha Carter IV was a lazy effort in my opinon. Nothing terrible cutting or jaw-dropping like "A Milli," and not that I want another song just like this, but the power of a track was forgotten by Mr. Carter back in Rucker's in my opinion.
Eminem - "Rabbit Run" - Terribly literal for my purposes. No hook on this 8 Mile-inspired track, and it's a shame more people probably wouldn't put this in Em' top 10.
Nas - "Hero"
Nicki Minaj f/ Eminem - "Roman's Revenge" - RAH RAH LIKE A DUNGEON DRAGON!
Drake - "Headlines" - My favorite track from Take Care.
Dr. Dre f/ Eminem & Skylar Grey - "I Need a Doctor"
Twiztid f/ ICP - "All I Ever Wanted"
Yelawolf - "Brick in the Wall" - Can't wait for his new album!
Wu-Tang Clan - "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing ta F' Wit"
Bad Meets Evil f/ Bruno Mars - "Lighters" - Liking this song a lot this week. Saw Em, Royce, and Bruno perform this live at Lollapalooza this past summer.
