for me it's gotta be me and my girlfriend, the beat is crazy, the metaphorical romance between pac and his gun is ****ing genius.when i hear **** like this and i think about the fact that he died at 25, you can only imagine what he woulda done.

abc123WBVA 09-22-2008, 01:12 AM triumph is great... no question.
And I'm sure that my entry could be topped by another song if we started getting down to it. But off the top of my head... "one love" is coming to mind. Just love every piece of it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yKDMrX8LlY

Honorable mention to Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight", LL's "Mama Said Knock You Out", and EPMD's "Crossover"

CaRnAgEViOLaToR 09-22-2008, 07:41 AM this is really hard...id say these two tracks
i used to love h.e.r
world is yours
Kobe Bryant 09-22-2008, 11:21 AM Maybe it's my west coast biased. Maybe. But I have to go with Nuthin But a G Thang. The song is perfect. There are rarely songs that are perfect. Everything about the track. Plus it's on some real g ****. But at the same time it's crossover but not so much to say it's too comercial. **** is classic period. Thank god for Snoop and Dre for blessing us with that song. Snoop's opening verse was one of the first verses I ever memorized perfectly. I could go on all day about this song. I'll just leave it at that.

Perfect. I would throw a link up, but you already know what it is. If there was one song I had to put in a time capsule it would be this.
Floyd Sinclair 09-22-2008, 01:40 PM I used to love her is probably the greatest...it was the first song of that type, rappers have copied that concept but commons was the first and the best

-Antonio- 09-22-2008, 04:48 PM The fact that two other songs from the same album were listed in this thread speaks volumes.
