1) 4 Eyes – Nebu Kiniza

– This song is from an underground rapper named Nebu Kiniza. His lyrical level is better than most rappers now a days which is why I listen to him. In this song he talks about some problems he had within his family and how he overcame them and continues to succeed.

2) Black Heroes – Wale

– Wale in my opinion is a lyrical genius which is why people don’t listen to his music.  His metaphors are so complex that people don’t understand them and don’t bother to listen to him. In this song he talks about people hating on what he does and how he overlooks them by being successful. He also names a couple of black famous people that are or have been very successful and how they got there.

3) The Jig is Up – Kendrick Lamar

– Kendrick Lamar, arguably one of the best rappers alive. He basically talks about how people don’t believe he is one of the best. He justifies his success by naming things that he bought and has acquired from selling his music.

4) Fa we we  Freestyle – Wale

– Another Wale song, and in this one he is basically talking trash to all of his haters stating all of his success. This song also talks about doing something because you want to and because it makes a difference, and not because you have to.

5) Let Me Ride – Lil Snupe

– Lil Snupe is a rapper that was recently shot at a very young age, 16 I believe. Snupe talks about coming up from what he used to be. He had been in jail, on the streets, doing all types of illegal things but has made it in the music industry.

6) Return of Simba – J Cole

– J Cole, another rapper who is up there on the best rapper out list. I like this song because he talks about timing and how crucial it is to have good timing. In this case he is talking about timing of his music which is why people go crazy whenever he releases something.

7) Too long – Shizzy Six

Shizzy is another underground rapper that I really because of his lyrics and delivery. He has the best delivery I’ve heard in a while, his flow is fast but you understand what he says. In this song he talks about during his childhood he didn’t have a father figure or even a bigger brother to teach him how to be a man be he still learned on his own.

8) Cut you off – Kendrick Lamar

This song is humorous but at the same time truthful. Kendrick speaks on how friends and even family are always gossiping about each other bringing negativity. Kendrick basically tells them to get out of his ear with all the negativity.

9) It Ain’t Hard To Tell – Nas

– Nas talks about how he is the best rapper and how you show easily be able to see that. He also talks on his increasing talent in music and how it is attracting more fans.

10) Mic Check – Shizzy Six

Another song by Shizzy song, he talks about turning all of his disadvantages and difficulties into success. He is basically saying, no matter what you go through, you always turn it around.
