Based on chart performances around the world, I'm stuck between "I'll Be Missing You" by Puff Daddy, and "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio. Are there any other worthy contenders for this honor?

Eminems Lose Yourself...on top of being #1 EVERYWHERE, it won an oscar too!

Lose Yourself

Eminem

Lose Yourself

BOW DOWN. No competition <333

best rap songs in my opinion that can compare to Lose Yourself....Nas One Mic
that song was epic!

I don't know how to answer that....

If we're going iconic, I'd say 2Pac's Changes. But I agree with Eminem.

^Well 2Pac is an icon period his raps and anything he's done ***** on Eminems career period

Best Hip Hop song is Changes with One Mic in second and Gangsta Paradise in 3rd. Lose Yourself is not all that great.

How could I have forgotten about "Lose Yourself"?

^i honestly don't see all the hype behind that song?!? i mean it's a good song but by no means is it a One Mic or Changes

California Love

^ that's my national anthem!

One More Chance and Brenda`s Got a Baby

Didn't Diddy's "I'll Be Missing You" spend numerous weeks @ #1?

Lose Yourself!

"Lose Yourself" by Eminem and "I Know I Can" by Nas!

I think with a topic like this, you can't really look at only chart success. You have to look at impact, what it did for pop culture, everything in between.

well if we looking at which you just said...then Cross Roads by Bone Thugz
