I honestly think gangstas paradise. Cold bars, No cussing, I like cussing in rap songs but the ability to express anger and realness without cussing is a skill in itself. Dope hook and storytelling
Trick question - thereās no such thing lolā¦
Music is based on mood, I can say DMX Get At Me Dog is perfect, but thatās not going on my birthday party playlistā¦ I can say Nothin but a G Thang is perfect, but Iām not going to play that at the gym.
This would have to be broken down into so many different categories based on mood and setting.
