25. Nas f/ Kanye West “Still Dreaming” (2006)

Album: Hip-Hop Is Dead

Sometimes all you really need is a short, hypnotizing vocal loop á la “Wouldn’t Get Far.” It should come as no surprise that both tracks came out in the same Kanye production era. This one uses a bit from a Diana Ross song called “The Interim,” for which ‘Ye employed the vocal talents of Chrisette Michele. This track is too smooth, it makes it easy to not notice when Nasty throws in seemingly non sequitur lines like: “and I’m eating cashews.” Alas, cashews everything around me.

    Even though he sold it, “We Gone Make It” by Jadakiss should’ve been on the list

    pretty sure DJ Toomp made “Cant Tell Me Nothing”… it was originally a Jeezy song, whikch is why the ad-lib is there… thats bad, since you have it as his #1 beat… I could be wrong though

      The song was produced by kanye AND dj toomp. plus kanye always has a bunch of people do additional vocals and what have you. that does not mean the song was originally for them. he could have had dj toomp take off the ad-libs if he really didnt want it there.

    “Live Fast, Die Young” should have made top 5, and it’s not even on the list.

    You can definitely see your skills within the paintings you write. The arena hopes for more passionate writers such as you who are not afraid to mention how they believe. Always follow your heart. NPVNLRITBUBOXDYJA
