“AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted”: Ice Cube
Ice Cube. Energetic, aggressive, old-school. What more could you want?
“Maybach Curtains”: Meek Mill ft. Nas, John Legend, Rick Ross
A side of Meek Mill that not many have seen—live instruments, John Legend, and so much groove.
“Tek Nuh Chat”: Sam Binga ft. Redders
Ever heard of Sam Binga? Redders? Probably not. But Redders’s voice and Sam Binga’s beats intertwine seamlessly. Give it a shot.
“Duck Down!”: The Roots
From the start, The Roots’ vigorous beat will hit you in the face. Duck down!
“Goosebumpz”: Mac Miller
Mac Miller’s vocals may be mediocre at best, but Diplo’s trap and EDM-inspired beats, characterized by funky brass instruments and trunk-shaking 808s, will definitely keep your head bobbing.
“Hurt”: Yung Lean
Produced by Suicideyear, this Yung Lean track is great for calming down and shutting down all bodily functions.
“All Day”: Kanye West, ft. Theophilus London, Allan Kingdom, Paul McCartney
This track got me excited for Kanye’s next album, more so than Black Skinhead did.
“Bitch I’m Lugubrious”: Lil Ugly Mane
Don’t judge a track by its album cover.
“Wake Up”: Notorious B.I.G. ft. KoRn
If you throw Notorious B.I.G., KoRn’s guitar riffs, and hardcore rock in a bowl, this is what you’d find afterwards.
“A Minute for your Son”: DMX ft. Big Stan, Drag-On, Jinx Da Juvy, Kashmir, Loose, Mic Geronimo, Mysonne
Classic DMX.
“Insane in the Brain”: Cypress Hill
Who doesn’t love this song?
“Pimp Tha’ Pen”: DJ Screw ft. Lil’ Keke
It’s about time to lay this track down like a “fresh set of dominoes.”
“Monster”: Kanye West ft. Jay Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, Bon Iver
The biggest collaborative track in Kanye’s 2010 album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
“Drop it Like it’s Hot”: Snoop Dogg ft. Pharrell Williams
It’s timeless.
Um, this playlist is a bit too good.
