2) scarface feat jay-z - "guess whos back" (in my opinion kanyes best work)
3) scarface feat nas - "in between us"
4) scarface - "on my block"
5) ice cube - "today was a good day"
6) mobb deep - "shook ones"
7) posta boy - "jurassic harlem" (swizz beats best work, simple but so effective)
8 ) notorious b.i.g - "everyday struggle"
9) UGK ft andre 3000 - "international players anthem"
