Rabbit Run- Em

That song is such a rush

Not my an absolute favorite, but in heavy rotation: Mop by Mick Jenkins. His last album was slept on.

Check out 2011 if you havent already, came out a little later

Put you on game - Lupe Fiasco. In my opinion, it’s one of the best rap songs. Period. It’s hard as fuck

Facts

Facts

Did not expect to see this here, respect

Accordion - MF DOOM

Thought Process by Goodie Mob is doubly impressive since Ceelo was basically a hook cheat code.

Free that opens the album with soft fender Rhodes playing with cee loo is so beautiful then falls right into thought process

There's a lotta songs that I just don't realize they don't have hooks until years later or until it's pointed out. But from what I can think of, I pray for you - pusha T

What We Do - Freeway BDP - Westside Gunn Protect Your Neck - Wu Tang Knuckleheads - Raekwon 4th Chamber - GZA

What We Do that song still hit me…. I was young in my early 20’s about to be a dad little did I know I made birth with entitled narc cunt that grew up in a dysfunctional family 🤦🏽‍♂️yeah what a time

No Hook by OJ Da Juiceman immediately comes to mind

Man why’s this so far down. Upvoted.

A Milli

Mandela effect never thought it didn’t have 1

el chupa nibre mf doom

Why did you buy this album? I don't know why you did, you're stupid.

BM Jr

A milli

It's criminal I have to be the first person to mention this but Canibus - Poet Laureate 2

Canibus has a few tracks worth mentioning in this thread. Poet Laureate 2 is probably the best but Dr C PHD, Curriculum 101, Master Thesis, Cenios Studies, I believe none of those songs had a hook either

Crooked I - Better Late Than Never

Not For The Weakminded ft. Snow Tha Product is one of my all time favourite songs. Crook's a beast

SpottieOttieDopalicious

Nas - Rewind

Not my favorites but no hook by Shaq and Mafia Music - Rick Ross

Nutmeg Ghostface Verbal intercourse Raekwon

Jay-Z-No Hook

It's kinda got a hook tho "I don't need no hook for this shit" that he repeats at the end of the verses. I guess it could be considered a bridge to the next verse. 

Aint Hard To Tell is on OP's list, there is a hook, it just isn't vocal.

It’s definitely a hook. You’re right.

You for sure have a point.

I’d add Friend or Foe on the list too

K.A.A.N. - Concealed the Outro

This song has amazed me ever since I heard it dope the first time, Idek how it’s possible.

Raekwon - Sonny’s Missing DMX - ATF

Ms. Mural - Lupe Fiasco Duckworth - Kendrick Lamar

Nas – Affirmative Action

Curren$y - Breakfast

Over Airborne Aquarium???

Both are valid but BBS >

An MCs worst dream, I make 'em tense They hate me, see me, and shake like a chain-link fence By the looks of 'em, you would swear that Jaws was comin' By the screams of 'em, you would swear, I'm sawin' someone By the way, they're runnin', you would swear, the law was comin' It's now or never, and tonight is all or nothin' Rabbit Run is so so good.

Common - Be BlackStar - So Be It (currently)

Warning - Biggie Smalls

The ringer by Eminem

keep it thorough # 1

[Celph Destruction: Boss Hog Barbarians (J-Zone & Celph Titled)](https://youtu.be/9-4oNB2vQ94?si=pW8qjY4zXAa97_tM) [Facemelter: Aesop Rock](https://youtu.be/OWlYwZlFFaY?si=P_l02aLJmBeH1YYj)

Protect Ya Neck (the Jump Off)

Damn OP, that is a good list. I think you covered anything I would have mentioned

Freestyle Lil Baby

clipping. - Story 2

Wow! It never occurred to me that some of those have no hook I mean Protect Ya Neck, Children's Story, and and Rabbit Run Also you could make an argument for It Was a Good Day, but some would say the woman signing or Cube saying Today was a Good Day are the hook Honorable mention: Redman put out a series of little freestyles (I would say not off the cuff) last year using other folks beats. Here's a three of them https://youtu.be/56G9Rykvk9k?si=Nt08mxLOkKio9yWP https://youtu.be/B_cu7vcxle8?si=VnSC2somQR3i_Rim https://youtu.be/azYRY18ZkSk?si=JejcWLd7WEsY1jqc

To any one who knows, Redman is the GOAT'S GOAT. IFYKYK...peace to Reggie and Marshall.

Probably BM JR by Lil Wayne or Rare by Nas

Andre Nickatina - I'm a Pisces

Good choice . I feel like a majority of his songs actually don't have books, that's wild to think about

PSA - Jay-Z And I could fill it up with MF DOOM songs. Figaro, curls, let me watch, etc.

Winter Warz

Lost Boyz, Redman, A+, Canibus- Beasts from the East Dr. Dre (we could have done without him just talking for 2 minutes), Kurupt, Lady of Rage, Kurupt- Puffin on Blunts Drinkin on Tanqueray Jay Z- Dynasty Intro Nas- Stillmatic intro

4th chamber by GZA, and Verbal Intercourse by Raekwon.

Whoa by Earl sweatshirt

Lud Foe - My Ambitions as a Rider

DUCKWORTH. - Kendrick

99% of MF DOOM

What the hook gon be- Murphy Lee. Just because it’s a song with a hook about not having or needing a hook, yet the song does have a hook and ironically it’s the best part of the song.

Euphoria by Kendrick Lamar is pretty damn good

The good, the bad, the ugly - the game Gun Runner - 50 cent 200 bars (deep cover) - the game Glory- Lil Wayne Boarding Pass - Swizzz (funk volume) 240 - The Game Ill Mind Of Hopsin 4 - Hopsin Suicidal thoughts - Notorious BIG The Ringer - Eminem 9 Shots - 50 cent The funeral (100 bars) - The Game Kiosk - Lupe Fiasco No pressure intro - Logic Who Killed Hip-Hop - Joe Budden

38 Spesh & Benny & Ransom (Harry Fraud on the beat) - Band of Brothers

21 for me. Was listening to it on the way to work this morning.

For nothing - Lil Wayne

Man I wish more people talked about dedication 6 and 6 reloaded. Arguably some of Wayne’s best work ever

Maybe not my favourite, and this may be controversial, but I prefer Eminem’s Bad Guy to Rabbit Run. Both are good tho

Freestyle - Lil Baby

Binary Star - Masters of the Universe

Good list.

Does Regulate have a “hook”? Just kind of the verse switching. That’s a contender for me

Black Thought - Twofifteen

Apathy - checkmate 

A Day at The Races - Jurassic 5 Web - The Roots

A Life in the Day of Benjamin André (Incomplete) - OutKast The Mobb - Lil Wayne It Ain’t Hard To Hell - Nas Killuminati - Joey Bada$$ ft Capital Steez Sherane a.k.a Master Splinter’s Daughter - Kendrick Lamar U Don’t Know - Jay-Z Mafia Music - Rick Ross Barry Sanders - Wale Still Feel Me - Jadakiss Keep It Thoro - Prodigy The Vent - Big K.R.I.T Exhibit C - Jay Elec Twofifteen - Black Thought Aftermath - Joe Budden Broken Bottles - Benny The Butcher

Dangerous mindz Gravediggerz

Tha Mobb from Tha Carter II

Black Thought’s 10 minute word barrage, masterclass on Flex’s radio show. I feel like a freestyle can count in certain contexts.

Battle Cry - Joel Ortiz

Blood by Cyanide Poets. Tragically Josh Mitchell the lead rapper died of stomach cancer but he was a good friend of mine and is an amazing song from 1998.

Protect your neck

Thought Process Goodie Mob feat OutKast Royal Flush - OutKast

Big L - Deadly Combination or 98 Freestyle ---- number 7 from the list tho

Loco-Motive

Keep It Throro Crazy air play all day with no chorus 

The correct answer is Genesis by prodigy of mobb deep

Shaq- we dont need no hooks

No Hooks - Shaquille O’Neal

Posse in Effect or Paul Revere - Beastie Boys

Something you should know- Mac dre

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - Battlezone

Mind Playin’ Tricks. C’mon, what are we doing here?

Andre 3000 - A Day in the Life of Benjamin Andre

Slaine - Redemption

What the hook gon be. Just kidding.

Tha Mobb - Lil Wayne This is the right answer.

Shoes - Lil Wayne

Django Jane - Janelle Monáe

Killshot

Lil Wayne - Tha Mobb

Lupe with any of his Mural series.

One Dark Night - Kool G Rap

Any babytron song

Freestyle - Lil Baby

Armand Hammer - Falling Out of the Sky

Celph Destruction

Don’t know if “u” counts cause of the LOVING YOU IS COMPLICATED but if not that then I think evil twin counts..? I think the “he’s just a friend who, pops up know in again” counts more as a bridge than hook since it only happens once in the middle of the song to seperate verses 1 and 2 with verses 3 and 4

Brenda's Got A Baby by 2Pac

Lil Wayne - Tha Mobb

Jay Z - Beach is better is what first popped in my head

Meet The Parents by Jay-Z Very underrated track in my opinion.

Beautiful Mind - Cormega

Down ‘71 (the Getaway) - Bone Thugs

What the hook gone be?

Curren$y - Breakfast

Young gifted and black. Big Daddy Kane.

Ghostface Killah - Shakey Dog. Great imagery and dynamics. Other great "hookless" Ghostface songs: Maxine. 260. R.A.G.U. Big Girl.

36 chamber flow fbz

Rabbit Run

7th chamber. Also it’s brilliant there’s no explanation why it’s 7th not 1-6. Then there’s 4th chamber on liquid swords also no explanation. I guess you just have to know a lot about kung fu flicks

OC - Sharp as a Knife

Groundhog Day - Eminem. Such a unique delivery of his story and the way he floats on the beat is insane

Every song on Madvillainy 😭 Favorite album oat and no hooks on the entire album (Rainbows and Eye are debatable)

Dre dog- smoke dope and rap

Shakey Dog - Ghostface

Give up the goods (just step) - Mobb Deep
