All I know is that if you listen to Eminem's songs...like "When I'm Gone", "Cleanin' Out My Closet", and "Stan"...you can hear some deep and meaningful lyrics.

Also, Live Your Life by T.I. and Rihanna has some of the most inspirational lyrics I've heard.

I didn't think you'd ever say something I agree with.

I respect you for that.
If you want, I'll try to put together a collection of songs that have some good meanings.

But producers stand alone as one man bands too. I bet Petestrumentals sold more than Trivium ever has. Same reason. Then hip-hop combines all that win, fuuuuuck. It's an art form.

Well rapping is a lot like poetry if you take away the beats, so it should be more easily applied as a one person sort of thing anyway. But yeah, producing takes a lot of talent which it doesn't get credit for often times.

That applies to anything, if you listen to something a billion times it will get boring.

Going back to the list; it's pretty good but gives too much credit to 'classic' gangsta rap.

Stan? That's a poor choice, but as others have already mentioned, it's all subjective and no one will ever agree. This is why I absolutely HATE VH1 top 100 countdowns.

what no nwa? no ghetto boys? what about doo doo brown? what about beastie boys? any list of great rap songs that don't include at least 2 from getto boys is lacking. (imo)
i also woulda picked something else by ice-t. for example, midnight is far better than cop killer (which isn't rap anyhow, it's on a metal album) and that's just one example. how will smith got a song on there and not getto boys just blows any cred your list might have had, away. summertime is a cool song, but pshew! you missed some important stuff, i think.
on the other hand, you may feel that my opinion is worth about what you paid for it.
