Quality hip hop/rap

Got the idea for this thread over the past couple of days, hopefully it grows and is a place to display all the quality stuff. At the very least all the good stuff that won't get radio plays because it's classic or not mainstream (i.e. what's NOT ok to bump ). To start off :











If anyone has anything they want to add, add away, there's too much for me to add

(some preview pics are poor because it's hard to find clean versions of some songs)

Glad to see so much good stuff posted, very nice to see the diversity of music TWC knows/enjoys

Lord if you see me please come my way.
Leavin bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Got a heartfelt desire be more like you
Trying not to quench your fire by the things that i do
I'm callin on my savior to be all that I need
Please forgive me my behavior had me lost at light speed

Bad characteristics covered in Christ's blood
The joy of new birth and the pain of growing up
The bliss between giving my all and giving up
The highs and lows,
Paths and roads I chose
In the cold I froze
Trying to ease my woes
In this world of sin
Clothes to thin to fend
So to God I send
Words of help to win
In grumblings so deep words could never express"

You don't get very much more Christian than that.

True, to be honest I never really paid attention to the words, I just liked the beat.
