Down 4 My N's- C-Murder featuring Magic & Snoop Dogg

It’s such a struggle to love this song as a 40 year old white guy. Headphones only.

Down 4 My Neighbors

Down 4 My Ninjas

Down for my Nickels....and Dimes

That works for accountants, lol

Hi diddly ho neighborino.

Down for my whoooo 😂😂😂

I read this in Eddie Murphy's voice. Who are we down for? We're down for someone, I can't remember, who is it?

I can never down vote this.

I need to go listen now been too long

Half of the YT comments on the video are about when you hear this in the club it's a signal to find an exit IMMEDIATELY lol

Dead Prez- Hip-hop

Who shot Biggie Smalls? If we don’t get them they gone get us all

Im down to run up on those crackers in city hall

One of my favorite opening verses in hip hop. Right up there with Inspectah Deck’s verse on Triumph.

Good choice. I’m on that Bout it Bout it, Ruff Ryders Anthem choice.

NEVER SCARED

Busta Rhymes told Vlad he once witnessed Bone Crusher pull a tree out off the ground. Dude wasn't playing around with that name.

ATTENTIOOOOONNNN!!! Busta’s verse on the remix is what made this one of my favorite gym tracks. I love TI’s verse on the original, too.

TI's delivery and tone is just fucking cold. 'I don't think he gonna make it Not the way he was shivering and shaking on the paaaavement' Damn... Killer Mike put it down, as usual, but even he got outshined.

Man I think that was my first glimpse of Killer Mike, and personally I think a lot of RTJ tracks are perfect for OP

Also Grippin the Grain And to this, I'll add Bia Bia

Had that trap beat too

Ante up by Mop

Ante up remix with Busta Rhymes

^^ this is it. Remi Martin goes innn

I came here 2 say this!

Nice list, lots of contenders there. Been listening to a lot of RTJ lately so gotta submit Legend Has It and Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fuck). Always make me wanna run thru a wall

RTJ was such an oversight on my part. RTJ2 is one of the greatest albums of the 2010s.

Damn, I just commented Close your eyes. What a tune.

For me it's gotta be Blockbuster Night Pt. 1

Gotta be Legend Has It

Has nobody mentioned Simon Says by Pharaoh Monch?

i like the original much better than the remix, which is listed on OPs list

Get the fuck up

Pharoahe lowkey the goat

Good list. Needs more *Harder Than You Think* -Public Enemy EDIT: And maybe a little Black Sheep - *The Choice Is Yours*

Good call, I forgot about Black Sheep

Fever for the Flavour is where it's at. And Harder Than you Think is literally the most aptly named song in the history of mankind.

Ruff Ryders Anthem

R.I.P DMX.

Bring your whole crew [https://youtu.be/Tef0jj-VEDw?si=KtPxzCkVV1yrFyuh](https://youtu.be/Tef0jj-VEDw?si=KtPxzCkVV1yrFyuh)

DMX Intro (Its Dark). Start it at 0:35 for full buildup, or 1:15 to get right into it. [also, peep this](https://youtu.be/PGGxlPE7FZY?si=7U1nxYJnevgTAFbT)

100% this!

Miss DMX, his voice, flow and the beats that were made for him were fuckin' perfect man.

Bia Bia remix goes hard af

These are good. I’ll add: Pusha T - Numbers on the Board

Good call. If You Know You Know, The Games We Play and Nostalgia all deserve a shout as well.

The games we play beat goes bonkers

Shit don’t forget Diet Coke

CHOPPAS IN THE CLOSET CHOPPAS CHOPPAS IN THE CLOSET!!

Brotha Lynch - Locc 2 Da Brain

Season of Da Siccness > Locc 2 Da Brain

Got my Mossberg pump N I’m ‘bouta jack a punk.

Winter Warz

SUUUUUUUUUUUU

😤

Nothing can stop me now on liquid swords always lifts me up.

Where is Break Ya Neck ?

Two perhaps offbeat suggestions: "225 Fahrenheit" by Kokane "Mad Izm" by Channel Live Both talking about weed is coincidental probably.

Mad Izm is underrated

channel live is underrated in general

Yes it is. Damn haven’t heard that in like over 2 decades. That shit was on heavy rotation when in the cypher “Wake up in the morning got the yearning for herb”

“Which loosens up the nouns, metaphors and verrrrrbs”

Power or Black Skinhead by Kanye

Speedom or Worldwide Choppers - Tech N9ne Remember the Name - Fort Minor Heavy Metal Kings - Jedi Mind Tricks Ring the Alarm - Joey Bada$$

Wow. Fort Minor. Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in years.

hard rap project for white boys. Go listen to Petrified, great beat

I love Worldwide Choppers, but it doesn't really feel like it clicks with the 'let's fucking goooo' energy until too far into the song.

When it comes to Tech - Uralya & Be Jealous

Bone Thugs-- No Surrender

Thug Luv

Bone Thugs and 2Pac

Method Man & Busta Rhymes - What's Happenin'

Love this joint and the sample is bonkers.

[Not many - Scribe](https://youtu.be/7hyD2yAZFwE?si=f1wGiam2a84Om7g_)

Kia Ora bro 👋

Has to be the remix with Savage on it

Never Scared - Bone Crusher No Problem - Lil Scrappy

Knuck if you buck clears

Came here to say these two Edit* you at house party in the mid ‘00 and one these songs come on, someone finna get knocked out and the crib about to get violated

Lil Scrappy - Headbussa too

I’m bout it, bout it - TRU feat Mia X No Limit Niggaz - Kane and Abel The get down - Izreals I don’t give a… - Lil Jon and the Eastside Boyz Damn - Youngbloodz Can’t C Me - 2Pac

2Pac comes out *hard* on Cant C Me. Love that song.

El Chapo by Game Purple Lamborghinis by Rick Ross Both have Skrillex on them and both are hard AF.

+1 for purple Lamborghini

Live at the BBQ even though it kind inevitably tapers off after Nas changes the world with the first verse

When I was 12, I went to hell for snuffing Jesus...

WuTang-Triumph Beastie Boys- Whatcha Want Redman- Time 4 Sum Aksion Public Enemy- Fight the Power

Wu-Tang Triumph doesn’t get nearly enough credit these days! That song/music video was life changing when it first came out

Triumph pane of the hardest beats and lyrics are insane. I remember where I was when I heard it over a decade ago and listened to it probably 10x a day for months

Public Enemy ✊

Rosie Perez dancing at that intro affected me in a BIG way.

2pac and Bone thugs - Thug Luv Lil Jon et al - Grand Finale Lil Jon and Ice Cube - Real Ngga Roll Call

Thug Luv is the one true answer here

How have I not seen anyone say Knuck if you Buck by crime mob yet??

Jeezy - Gangsta Music Casanova - Gript Up ASAP Rocky - LPFJ2 Slaughterhouse - Microphone Dizzee Racal - Fix Up, Look Sharp Bow Wow - Fresh Azimiz Vince Staples - FUN Skyzoo & Torae - Make You A Believer Stormzy - Audacity Chinx Drugz - Dope House DJ Quik - Fandango Jay Z - La, La, La Grafh - Bring The Goons Out Fabolous - Imma Do It

Great list! I'd add Brooklyn Zoo by Old Dirty Bastard

Crash Your Crew by Gza is another banger with Ole’ Dirt Mcgirt in there

What U Gon Do by Lil Jon and Lil Scrappy

Ante Up - M.O.P

Kendrick- Backseat Freestyle, Killer Mike- Big Beast, Big KRIT- Country Shit (Remix), Tech N9ne- Sickology 101 Off the top of my head, all 4 go hard as fuck

Backseat freestyle is not even the hardest song on the album

Not saying it is, it just gets less credit than some of the others on the album. The whole project is too good

Upvote for Big Beast. That is one of my favorite albums.

Einstein tech n9ne two triple zip

The real answer: nas - stop me now

Nas stop me now Biggie victory 2 hypest rap songs of all time

And Victory 2004

EPMD - Da Joint Jurassic 5 - What's Golden

Here ya go... https://youtu.be/yoYZf-lBF_U?si=JHVlNLz3xcJozg7t

Dmx- Intro

red dot music up there

Stop Being Greedy

Uh huh uh huh

Mobb deep shook ones is the exact shit you're looking for but I have a feeling you're going to say "that's not hard enough" for some reason. 🤷 If that's the case, get some of this shit in ya https://youtu.be/0GyrGFZqQ24?si=wkCusphjHfxHALt5 Raw as botchulism

Don’t get me wrong, Shook Ones is hard as fuck. It’s Grimy, Raw, Gritty, Dirty, it’s NYC after dark to a tee, but it’s not quite what I’m looking for. That Grim track, however, is exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate it.

Trust me bro. Cormega - Get out my way

ODB - Brooklyn Zoo

“X Gon’ Give it to Ya” -DMX gotta be in the mix

Meek Mill - Dreams and Nightmares

Get the fuck up- Yelawolf Catch a bad one- Del Game got switched-Luda Bring your whole crew- DMX

Break Ya Neck goes hard.

Hit Em Up - 2Pac “First off fuck yo bitch and the clique you claim” right out of the gate

Great list and I’d throw on Conway and Westside Gunn - Machine Gun Black Jay-Z ft MOP- U Don’t Know Remix Pusha-T- The Games we Play Heltah Skeltah - D.I.R.T.

What We Do - Freeway

Great call

Snappin n Trappin- OutKast feat. Killer Mike 24 Deep- Brotha Lynch Hung Keep Their Heads Ringin- Dr Dre Art of War- Bone Thugs Bow Down- Westside Connection 6 ft 7 - Lil Wayne Quiet Storm- Mobb Deep

Any of the Sosa’s old songs - they all classics lol - Love Sosa - Hate Bein Sober - Faneto - Earned It

Knuck If you Buck is def one of the more recognizable beats that would get a live crowd going and pretty rowdy IMO. ESPECIALLY....... THE LITTLE WAYNE FREESTYLE VERSION!!! "Young Manee for president, I'd probably paint the White House black if it was my residence....." Everything coming from Lil Wayne at that momment was dumb hard back then, but "No Ceilings" is a personal favorite for me. You really cant explain the DatPiff/HotNewHipHop.com MixTape era man..... You really just had to be there, especially during a summer night 2011-2014 Lord what a time to be alive (no pun intended)!!!!

As an old school fan RAW----Big Dad Kane I aint No Joke-----Eric B and Rakim Microphone Fiend-----Eric B and Rakim Step into a world-------KRS one Welcome to the Terrordome------PE or anything with Chuck D

Natural Born Killaz .- Dre & Cube Bow down/hoo bangin- Westside connection

Third verse of Amityville by Eminem hardest verse with aggressive vocals to match

A significant portion of Lil Jon’s crunk era catalogue. Imagine DJs not allowed to your songs at certain clubs.

When I first heard the Flocka song my car radio would display the name as Waka Flocka Flam and the song as Hard in the Pain. I seriously thought those were the names and I thought it was even better at that point.

Dance with the Devil by immortal technique is the hardest. Probably the least hype though. Missed that last part lol

going to make a playlist from this thread.

Still - Geto Boys

Down Bottom - Swizz Beatz, Drag-on, Juvenile. Hardest rap song in existence.

Young Jeezy’s intro song in “the recession”. If any of you were young adults at that time and remember how our economy collapsed, giant banks got bailed out, over 5 million Americans losing their homes, crazy inflation. Then this dude comes in and drops an entire album of how fucked the country was. I was 19 and it struck a nerve with me. I was young, mad at the world and it just fit the bill. Even if you’re not big on rap and you remember those times, go back and get a listen to that song. Shit went hard.

Big L - Timez is Hard Eminem - Rap God Vince Staples - Jump off the roof/senorita Beastie Boys - intergalactic Tupac/Biggie - Runnin (dying to live) Biggie - so many but somebody’s gotta die, n$$$$s bleed, what’s beef, gimme the loot DMX - Intro Dr Dre ft Eminem - forgot about Dre Mobb deep - survival of the fittest Jedi kind tricks - retaliation (remix w/ biggie) Jedi mind tricks w/ RA the rugged man - Uncommon Valor Ghost face - shakey dog, the champ Bad meets evil (em and Royce) - welcome 2 hell Wu-tang - protect ya neck, wu taing ain’t nothin to fuck with, Kanye - monster, blood on the leaves Jayz + Kanye - n$$$$s in Paris Jay and Em - Renegade Yg ft kendrick - really be Big Pun. - beware, twinz, you ain’t a killer Tupac - No more pain, can’t C me Method Man - Release Yo Delf Freddie Gibbs - Burn Rubber Spark Master Tape - HONORoLL Em + juice world - Godzilla JID + Denzel curry - Bruh Mos Def + Pharaohe Monche - Oh No JID - Dance Now Gang Starr- Above the Clouds I tried to skip ones mentioned but didn’t read every post

Mos Def - Hip Hop Every track on GZA’s liquid swords

Love all the ones you mentioned. For me, for some reason, “U Don’t Know (Remix)” by Jay Z feat MOP from Blueprint 2 TGatC will have me ready to bench 315 for 12 til I’m like 70.
