I could see people leaving it off cause Beans had the best verse. But yeah, definitely in his top 10.

I want to do another "20 track" Essentials... so I'm thinking of a Southern rap "super-group."

Well of course, I'd suggested it. That's how we got the OutKast one in the first place. I'd got at Bastitch on AIM after the Wu Tang and suggestedDungeon Family or the Beattles. He went with "OutKast."

So then I took over Essentials.

  14. Allure
  15. My 1st Song
Not too bad, if I say so myself. Actually, I would probably rearrange a couple of tracks now that I take a second look at it, maybe even replace one ortwo songs to better capture the direction I was trying to go in.
 
Hovi Baby

Brooklyn's Finest

1. A Million & One Questions (Remix)
2. Dead Presidents II
3. Can I Live
4. Streets Is Watching
5. Rap Game / Crack Game
6. Come and Get Me

13. Allure
14. Lucifer
15. Beach Chair
 
There is no way I can cut this to 15 tracks
frown.gif


Here goes nothin...

No particular order, that would make it far too hard:

PSA
Takeover
U Dont Know
Can I Live
So Ghetto
Where Im From
D'evils
Imaginery Player
Beach Chair
Watch Me
H to the Izzo
Cashmere Thoughts
Empire State of Mind
Moment of Clarity/Lucifer
Allure
 
If I had to pick the best song(s) from each album this is what I'd go with:

RD: D'evils, Can I Live
Vol. 1: You Must Love Me, Imaginary Player
Vol. 2: If I Should Die, Coming of Age
Vol. 3: So Ghetto, Hova Song
Dynasty: Where Have You Been, This Can't Be Life
BP: Heart of the City, Never Change
BP2: Meet the Parents (my least favorite Jay album)
TBA: Allure, What More Can I Say, Lucifer
KC: The Prelude, Beach Chair
AG: Success, Fallin'
BP3: Empire State of Mind, Thank You
 
Personally I'd put most of Reasonable Doubt on there. Some of the best lyrics, style, and all that mess made in to rap. I don't think he has ever spitstuff that real or was as hungry back then.

That's only if you're trying to put his top songs on there though, if were talking about his career through in two songs from Reasonable doubt.

Can I Live
D'evils
Dead Presidents

and

put in Where I'm From straight realness again.

I'm out of time and don't feel like typing, but that's my 2 cents.
