I need song recommendations
I am looking for rap songs that tell a story or have a message. Here are some songs that I'm into:
Story telling:
Atmosphere - Your name here
Classified - Breaking up
Fort Minor - Kenji
The Roots - You got me
Immortal Technique - Dance with the Devil
Message:
Atmosphere - Sunshine
Atmosphere - The best day
Lupe Fiasco - Little Weapon
Jin - The same cry
Thanks in advance.

1. Been following DFD for a while. Great song.
2. Pretty nice.
3. I can't feel Jay-Z for some reason. He is always "meh" to me.

I am usually into Lupe, but that song came out too religious for my taste. Pretty nice chorus though.

Yeah, I heard that one too. I know pretty much all of fort minor's songs.
[quote=Omegathorion]If you want a story/message, why not just read poetry? Music and literature are two different things.
Just to contribute, I'll name the Luv (Sic) series.[/quote]
Why not have both?
OT: Heard part one. TBH, he just sounds like he is saying random things to make it rhyme.
[quote=Alchemy1234]When I'm Gone - Eminem
One Shot 2 Shot - Eminem
Take Care - Drake (maybe)
Lose Yourself - Eminem
Ooh Ahh - Grits
Just Livin' - Deon Chase (search him on youtube, good messages)
She Got Her Own - Neyo (more pop but clear message)[/quote]
Besides the ones from Eminem, the rest is mediocre.
