"Dead Presidents" has two versions, however I counted all versions as one song. Both of them differ greatly in lyrics but have the same beat. Both versions have gotten critical acclaim too.
"NY State of Mind" is the second track from Illmatic in a row out. It is the first track on the album, and sets the desolate and grimy tone of the entire album.

"All Falls Down" is one of the singles off of Kanye's first album, The College Dropout. The song was Kanye's first top 10, and was nominated at the Grammy's.

"Walk this Way" is a mashup/collaboration/cover between Run DMC and Aerosmith. It was one of the very first "Rock/Rap" collaborations, and also one the first top five hits for Hip-Hop.
"My Road to riches surprised the bitches" DP is one of my favorite Jay tracks and a Nas sample couldnt hurt either.
the two Nas songs are from the same album lol
and classic Ye, although tbh it sounds kinda dated.
I know you don't think Eve's best single is LMBYM, but really did anything else have a chance? IMO its a nice poppy rap song.
Well, I've already said I really never used Eve; I seriously can't think of anything from her that I personally would place on any all time great hip hop lists outside of her feature on The Roots' You Got Me. Kim, Foxy and Missy shat all over Eve, musically.

wow lmao, all 5 of these tracks should be way higher than this especially the nas ones
I woke up early on my born day, I'm twenty years of blessing
The essence of adolescent leaves my body now I'm fresh in
My physical frame is celebrated cause I made it
One quarter through life some God-ly like thing created
Got rhymes 365 days annual plus some
Load up the mic and bust one, cuss while I puffs from
my skull cause it's pain in my brain vein money maintain
Don't go against the grain simple and plain
When I was young at this I used to do my thing hard
Robbin foreigners take they wallets they jewels and rip they green cards
Dipped to the projects flashin my quick cash
and got my first piece of ass smokin blunts with hash
Now it's all about cash in abundance, niggaz I used to run with
is rich or doin years in the hundreds
I switched my motto -- instead of sayin **** tomorrow
That buck that bought a bottle could've struck the lotto
Once I stood on the block, loose cracks produce stacks
I cooked up and cut small pieces to get my loot back
Time is Illmatic keep static like wool fabric
Pack a four-matic that crack your whole cabbage
Yo... Nas the GOAT
I like todays rap, but I wish rappers still came hard like this.
