What’s your favorite rap song of all time?

I agree that Wu Tang should be up here, but for me it should be C.R.E.A.M.

Lyrically still true.

Greatest opening verse in history!

I SIT AROUND IN MY FOUR CORNER ROOM STARING AT CANDLES.

Classic needa bump this and damn it feels good to be a gangster tonight

There she goes again/the dopest Ethiopian

Literally anything off Illmatic tbh

EVERY TIME WE HIT THE PARKING LOT WE TURN HEADS

If you’ve never read Shea Serrano’s Rap Year Book I highly recommend it. Anyways he writes about this song and here was my favorite snippet

“‘International Players Anthem’ is just an amazingly constructed song…Andre 3000s verse, the way it lies in the grass at the beginning of the song, we have to get the original copy of the ‘The Last Supper’, rip it out of the frame, then replace it with this verse, because it’s real and true art. The two snare snaps that happen right before Pimp C’s verse, we have to take those two snare snaps and vote them to be President. The claps that happen during Bun B’s verse, we have to teach all the children that because that’s the new currency. Big Boi’s rubbery coo, put it in a time capsule because we’re not ready for anything that buttery and soothing. And then there’s the video that came with it.

Pimp C’s fur coat and hat…Andre’s kilt…the premarriage mini roast…Bishop Don Juan kissing a white woman…”

The beat was produced by DJ Paul and Juicy J.

Originally for Project Pat's song "I choose you" which is also a great song.

Then I CC'd every girl that I'd see see round town

The first dance at my friends wedding was the original sample by Willie Hutch. The DJ dropped the UGK version and everybody went crazy and stormed the dancefloor. It's my favourite wedding memory!

fun story (idk if its fact) i think bun b told the story. but pimp c HATED that 3k took the drums off the beat and did his verse that way. he was like tf this mf doing fuck him and outkast. bun was like nah nah pimp let it happen and when the drums come in on your verse itll be that much harder. and well...sweet jones.

I'm so glad to see this up high. This is my all time favourite song!

I sat 2nd row for an Outkast show after Pimp C passed, Bun B came out as well and did both of their parts.

One of the best memories of my life.

EDIT: this got more love than I thought! I dug through my photos and found this one of Andre 3000 sitting on stage.

When Kanye won the award for best video at the BET awards he gave it to UGK and Outkast.

Hell yeah. ATLiens for me.

IMHO Gza might have the best solo album out of the Wu. Liquid Swords is amazing.

I’m surprised that numerous of the top comments here were actually some of my favorites. This would be one of them.

Hey uncle Ricky, can you read us a bedtime story?

You and I we're gonna make some 𝓬𝓪𝓼𝓱

Robbing old folks and making a 𝓭𝓪𝓼𝓱

For the longest time their "years active" on Wikipedia was listed 1991-infinity. Bummed that someone changed it

This was my late best friend’s favourite song. She even had a tattoo of the infinity sign on her hand. RIP, Jen.

Now, that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time.

Just scrolled until I could find some DOOM. Don’t know exactly what I’d pick but my gut right now says Figaro.

I came here looking for at least one MF DOOM reply

Just remember ALL CAPS when you spell the man's name

No such things as halfway crooks

Official Queensbridge Murderers. Classic stuff.

Yes ya can

The entire Low End Theory album is absolute FIRE.

The whole doggystyle album was a masterpiece of its time. I’m not certain that it would fly today, in any way at all.

Just the way it starts, as it means to go on

I’m sippin on tanqueray, with my mind in my money and my mouth on the ganjay R A G to tha motha fuckin E Back with my n**** S N double O P

Edited for typo*

I mean on that same album is prob my favorite song

Forgot about Dre

I’ve never not heard that song and turned it off or skipped.
