Top 10 Sentimental Rap Songs

Tuesday February 12, 2008
As the web world began to swim in the whims and fantasies of Valentine's Day, I was tempted to whip out a list of romance-themed rap songs. Instead of making the romantic escape, I found myself digging deeper in hip-hop's heart for a cocktail of sentimental gems. Love and eulogy on one page. So, what follows is a list of ten rap songs that will either tug at your heartstrings or cause you to reminisce. Behold, our Top 10 Sentimental Rap Songs.

TROY is one of the best songs of all time.If it werent for C.R.E.A.M. and Award Tour,it would be my favorite…But two songs that always made me reminisce are Masta Ace – As I Reminisce (from Take a Look Around),and the most underrated song of all time,Pete Rock & CL Smooth – Cant Front on Me,its in my top 10 and it isnt even a single,nor is featured on any of their greatest hits compilations…peace
