    Common- Be, Faithful, Love Is, Black Maybe, Forever Begins
    Jurassic 5- Freedom
    Kanye West- Everything I Am, Roses
    Lupe Fiasco- Hurt Me Soul, American Terrorist, Little Weapon (lupe's verses)
    Mos Def- Most of his songs
    Nas- The Cross, Let There Be Light
    The Roots- too many to list
    Talib Kweli- I'll just say Good Mourning, one of my favorite songs ever, but like Mos and the Roots, most of what he's done is up there for me

    I will hold the candle until it burns up my arm. I'll keep taking punches until their will grows tired. I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind. I won't change direction and I won't change my mind.

    Woefully underrated song.

    My picks:

    Tupac - Changes, Keep Ya Head Up, Unconditional Love
    Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Message
    Pete Rock & CL Smooth - They Reminisce Over You (maybe the finest hip-hop song ever)
    Common - I Used To Love H.E.R
    Immortal Technique - Dancing With The Devil, Harlem Streets, Industrial Revolution
    Mobb Deep - Survival of the fittest (never heard a more grim, gritty description of 'gangsta' life)

    and a million others I can't think of right now.

    anything by Immortal Technique is deep. The Roots and Talib Kweli for the most part too.
