One of the better COMPLEX lists...50 Best Philly Rap Songs

[nieman]

best roots song I can recall off-top is CLONES.

I liked Respond/React just a tad more. But more recent Roots tracks are Star, Long Time, Get Busy, damn near all of How I Got Over

 

[THE K-MAN]

nah. that schooly d song birthed "gangsta rap". it absolutely has to be #1.

my favorite joint however is jazzy jeff & fresh prince "brand new funk". way too low on the list.

 

[Wacky D]

I thought "star" was gonna be a big hit.

off-top, that might be the best sly stone sample......but I think im forgetting something. so don't quote me on that, cuz I aint say chit.

 

[MoneyBags]

you didn't like "roc da mic"?

yea, I forgot to mention 100x. shouts out to rasheed Wallace.

and yea, I wanted to mention "scratchin n surviving". that song was big. I had a mental block concerning who made the song tho. I was waiting for somnebody to mention it. props. yea, takedown records. what was their movie called? new jack city?

yeah, new jack city with bugs and ace capone...scratching and surviving remix with freeway and ms jade is my shyt, shyt makes me speed whenever it comes on the ipod in the whip. that soundtrack to new jack city had a few joint son it too.
