hip hop songs that are beautiful

[spearman]

i know in the ruff n rugged world of hip hop i'm prolly suppose to say "no homo" after that but i'm talking about songs like the last emperors "heaven" and black stars "respiration"...you know-songs that are some beautiful masterpieces of work....deep thought, dope beat...all that shit that really envokes emmotion.

here's some more of my choices

-the roots "clock with no hands"
-mos def "travelin man"
-lif "ol crew"
-nujabes feat. substantial "eclipse"

go head and add. peace.

If I were to pick a Black Star song, it'd have to be "Brown Skin Lady" - one of the most beautiful songs in any genre. J. Rawls' production is utterly captivating on that track.

[Dawhud]

Dolla Bin they've got this track on their EP called "Beautiful" that is... just that... beautiful. Some of the lines Verb says in that song just make me think and I really love vibing to that whole EP.

^^^I checked and that track isn't up on their player, but you can DL their EP for free off their myspace. Seriously a dope listen and I'm NOT doing any wack ass self promotion. These cats are really some of the dopest ish I've just stumbled across through this myspace generation.

[spearman]

j. rawls produced that? holy shit! i never knew that...but then again, i don't think i ever looked at most of the production credits on that album.

oh yeah-i forgot to add dilla feat blu "sun in my face"

Yep, he also produced "Yo Yeah", but that's only like a minute. I love me some Hi-Tek, but J Rawls just killed that track. Gotta be my favorite off the album.

The Dilla track is fresh too. Good call.

No, this song is beautiful. I've been to clubs and parties with the most downest feminist womyn who always decry mysogeny and sexism. But when this song comes on, you'll see them gettin' down, reciting every single verse. If that doesn't describe beauty in a song, the I don't know what does.

you heard the other comp untranslated prescriptions (earlier i think than do the math)...those ghetto children songs are just as good. i waited so long hoping they'd drop an album and then nothing.

i went through a whole phase with that label/crew waiting to check everything else that dropped...

i felt like i was the only one who got excited when vitamin d dropped a single on rhymesayers rapping again...everyone knows he's got beats but man those ghetto children days had me buggin off his delivery. just in the pocket.
