I'm not a native English speaker, and for most of my life before creating this channel, I didn't care about the lyrics in the music I listened to. But song lyrics have been slowly adding to the destruction of our society for decades. The fact that a bad idea sounds musically pleasing doesn't make it a good idea. Addictions, crime, promiscuity, divorces, revenge, telling lies, cursing, swearing, hating, making idols, taking lives before birth, and many other destructive behaviors have been spread and normalized for years through most of the things we consider entertaining. Be careful of the messages you let into your life. Some people need to know that there is scientific proof that God exists. Causality and the principle of sufficient reason, to mention some, are accepted as universal, basically stating that everything has a cause and nothing appears by itself. Everything in the universe is subject to cause and effect, but whoever created the universe does not necessarily have to: if there was ever a time in the beginning where there was nothing, wouldn’t there still be nothing? Then it’s wise to admit that something or someone must have always existed, causing the existence of everything else. Some people have been able to explain it better than I can, so I will just cite one of the clearest presentations of the gospel I have ever read, published by Living Waters in the Million Dollar Bill: THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Have you lied, stolen, used God’s name in vain, or lusted (which Jesus said was adultery, Matthew 5:28)? If so, God sees you as a liar, thief, blasphemous, and adulterer at heart. If you die in your sins, you will end up in a terrible place called Hell. But there’s good news. Though we broke God’s Law, Jesus paid the fine by dying on the cross: “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds (it’s no fairytale). He fulfilled all the prophecies of the promised Savior. Please, today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will forgive you and grant you the gift of eternal life (Ephesians 2:8-9). Then, to show your gratitude, read the Bible daily and obey it, join a Christian church, and be baptized. Visit NeedGod.com and LivingWaters.com

A LOT of people don't realize how good Wu-Tang Clan was, most people only recognize C.R.E.A.M. but that's only a tiny bit of peak Wu-Tang

If I had to name the three most iconic songs in rap history, I would probably say Gangsta's Paradise, Still Dre and Lose Yourself

They really put thrift shop higher than California love 😂 damn

Having the absolute BALLS to put Macklemore into a top anything for rap list is crazier than crazy dave

90s hip hop is awesome

Sooo many records. Sooo many cassettes.

Man thet is a f good list I actually enjoy this..

I'm not a native English speaker, and for most of my life before creating this channel, I didn't care about the lyrics in the music I listened to. But song lyrics have been slowly adding to the destruction of our society for decades. The fact that a bad idea sounds musically pleasing doesn't make it a good idea. Addictions, crime, promiscuity, divorces, revenge, telling lies, cursing, swearing, hating, making idols, taking lives before birth, and many other destructive behaviors have been spread and normalized for years through most of the things we consider entertaining. Be careful of the messages you let into your life. Some people need to know that there is scientific proof that God exists. Causality and the principle of sufficient reason, to mention some, are accepted as universal, basically stating that everything has a cause and nothing appears by itself. Everything in the universe is subject to cause and effect, but whoever created the universe does not necessarily have to: if we built a smartphone, we would still be subject to the laws of human beings, not the laws of electronic devices. By following the truth, humanity developed the greatest civilization in history, far better than civilizations that followed their own rules. We now seem to be on the way to self-destruction, but we can still see the truth. According to Mark 12:29-31, in the New International Version of the Bible: 29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” On a more personal interpretation of our reality, I would argue there is also evidence that God knows everything about us, that he can see inside us, and that he listens to us. The designers of a smartphone know everything about it. They know how to fix it when it breaks, and they can travel through its system no matter the language installed. That smartphone has no idea of how it came to existence, and even less about its creator or even whether there is one. It would need a conscience for that. Also, free will to decide, and a little help. Humanity has not been able to give a conscience or free will to anything yet, but let's suppose it can for a moment. The hypothetical super-smartphone then could do things like move around if it had legs, take pictures whenever it wanted to, connect to free Wi-Fi networks, record every sound around it, play music out loud, call public phone numbers advertised on the streets, etc. But it could only do those things when the batteries have energy, and humans would be the only ones capable of charging them. Some super-smartphones would then prefer staying close to their owners instead of having random adventures. But even then, those who choose to go on adventures would be so dangerous for society that their designers would want to restrict them somehow. How could they restrict the super-smartphone's decisions without taking free will away from them? How could they teach their creation not to take pictures in the dark, waste people's time calling random numbers, record conversations, or play loud music in public spaces, for example? There would have to be some kind of guide within or around the super-smartphone that it could access, but also that it could choose freely to abide by or not. Isn't that what we humans have in the Bible? Would you throw a good smartphone away or try to make it last? Then why should we worry as long as we are good in the eyes of our creator? Do we charge our smartphones as soon as they say the battery is low, or whenever we think it is best in our own judgment? Then why would we expect our creator to do what we ask him right away? If someone drops a super-smartphone and the screen breaks, should the super-smartphone blame its creator or the person who dropped it? Isn't a broken screen to a super-smartphone like a disease to a human being? When people get a new phone, they often save all their valuable information and move it away from the old one. Isn't the information like the soul of a phone? The old phone may be broken and simply be thrown or recycled. But if there are not many junk files, and the information inside is valuable enough, it will surely be moved to a good place: a good place from the human perspective. The super-smartphones might think that the most important thing they have is their camera or their microchip and that playing music makes humans happier than anything else they can do. But humans would know that the information inside them is the only thing that makes them unique, and using the super-smartphones for their own purposes would please them more than anything the super-smartphones do randomly. What should the super-smartphones do, then? Wouldn't then the most important commandments to the super-smartphones be very similar to ours?

The message by nas should have been on there tbf same with ambitionz as a Ridah

If the list don't have "Regulate" from Warren G , it's a shitty list.

Missing some of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. What Would U do from Dogg Pound, I Got 5 On it from Luniz, Regulate from Warren G, and more.

Nice

Hello! Channel class! Video super!🎁👍

Много Dre) здорово

For me there will never be someone like tupac and biggie

It’s tough to say what makes a rap song “better” than another because it’s just personal opinion. So here’s my top 10 favorites in no particular order. Still D.R.E The Next Episode Lose Yourself Without Me Juicy Big Poppa If I Ruled The World Ambitionz Az A Ridah Can’t C me Gin and Juice

There is a list of tracks which are iconic for hip-hop culture such as some of Mobb Deep like "Get Away" or "Hits From the Bong" by Cypress Hill

Hit em up, ambitionz as a Ridah, the real slim shady should be there

Dmx rip guy we remember you 2pac respect

The message is #1 for me

I think Stan is way too low, it’s Eminem’s best project imo, lose yourself is insanely catchy and the lyricism and the technical ability on that song is something else, but Stan’s story telling and writing is something I prefer a little bit more, Eminem has had the most successful run in hip hop until Encore and is definitely a very solid top 10 rapper of all time at his best

Without Dre this would be a top 5 list

Very solid list tbh 🥶 90s hip-hop is too good

Empire state of mind its the song that i'll never stop to listening

90s Rap Music was amazing because there was No autotune they didn’t repeat words over and over and over (I’m looking at you gucci gang x100) Rappers said ACTUAL WORDS They knew how to dress and didn’t sag 90s Hip Hop culture is timeless and more impactful than any other decade of Hip-Hop Rap music was at it's peak during the 90s. The original Hip-Hop culture, the lyrics, the meaning, the fans,everything was true and Real. As of now, it's only a bunch of mumble rappers with tattoos and rapping unmeaningful vocals. * Artists actually had something to rap about (mostly), the artists always portrayed an image and had a meaning behind every word (or letter) they spoke. Songs were more meaningful at the time, there were also party jams obviously, but those were different. * There were party jams as well, which aren’t as meaningful, but they weren’t as common as they are now. * Artists now MOSTLY are only material-they don’t have anything to rap about. * Rap was a serious genre that was on the comeup, every artist was rivaling another and everyone was excellent. * Lyricism was at its peak-while the early 90s was dominated by the gangsta-rap styles, it slowly became conscious as well-and ironically even the more “street” oriented rappers were incredible lyricists. * Hardcore Hip-Hop is preferable to the masses, that’s just a fact-even if it isn’t preferred, every artist had all kinds of songs-Hip-Hop was more versatile. Besides lyricism, the beats were far more raw. Artists chose their beats based on the song content and message. It helped with that-and not all beats sounded the same. You had Legends like Biggie, Pac, Nas, Wu-Tang, etc

Jay Z - Hard Knock Life Da Luniz - I Got 5 On It Jermaine Dupri - Welcome to Atlanta

So proud of myself, like 70% of these are already in my playlists 😂

Best of the best

Ambitonz az a ridah and 2of americaz most wanted🔥🔥

Ice cube Today was a Good Day❤🎉the best from the List💋

Great list

Every list i’ve seen have been garbage. This one is pretty good. There’re older songs while also featuring newer classics

Gangstas Paradise Should Be Top1

I believe straight outa Coumpton should be higher on the list thats a master piece

Yes yes yes for nr 1!!
