Scrolling down through my Spotify playlist ‘rap’ in which I have gathered pretty much every rap song I have ever even liked slightly. It is funny how with time you look back on some of these songs and you wonder, what was I thinking? I think my top 10 needs to be focused on what aged well, and what I have played hundreds & hundreds of times. Also, songs that provoke an emotional response in some way. So, here goes…
(Mind you I changed this many times, and it did my head in. Rap is so much more difficult as I feel rap songs aren’t usually built to last. Kind of like band aids you use to patch up a disappointment or celebrate something in your life)

2. DMX – Slippin’
3. Definition – Blackstar
4. DJ Drama – Meek Mill, 2 Chainz, Jeremih
