21. Common “The Corner” (2005)
Album: Be
One of Kanye’s most salient qualities in this era was his ability to make the soulful go hard. That’s exactly what happens on “The Corner,” he wanted to sonically describe Chicago as a soulful city that goes hard. “The Corner” was Common’s modern version of MC Shan’s “The Bridge,” though he refers to it more directly on “The Food.” Common has always wanted to avoid being seen as “that conscious rapper,” so “The Corner” was his own juxtaposition to the “crochet pants and sweater.” Today he has similar intentions of combatting his own pigeonholing when he raps alongside 2 Chainz.

really? the takeover as number 1? smh
i’m not reading 26 different pages for what’s spose to be 1 fkin list! greedy bastards just want ad-view money.
I think this is accurate list with the exception of a few tracks( spend the night-marey carey, wouldn’t get far- game, a star is born- jay z )
Too lazy to go through whole list, but Through The Wire should at least be in top 5
Very nice list! Ya’ll shoulda put Camron’s Dead Or Alive, Do Or Die’s Paid the Price, Freeway-Hear The Song.
This track isn’t a Bette Midler sample, they had to recreate it in order to clear. 5iveit
All I know is “Through The Wire” and “Down”(Cam’Ron) are some energetic azz beats
Do Or Die – Higher was one of my favorites
An 88 Keys list would be awesome

I thought Spaceship should be on this list.
