Must have iPod songs

[Dmitriy@AUTOcouture]

Just got a new iPod Nano (to replace my very old "classic" 20gb). I'm a huge fan of music accross all genres but primarily used the iPod to hold essential mixes, live DJ sets, etc.

Time to move on.

What songs/mixes/etc. (any genre at all) do you have on your iPod and would not feel complete without?

Here are mine:

1. Biggy - almost all his songs.
2. 2pac - california
3. Weezer - Buddy Holly
4. Mase - Feels so good.
5. R. Kelly - Fiesta
6. Sting - shape of my heart.
7. Frankie Vallie - Beggin (pilooski edit).
8. Olive - you're not alone.
9. Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz - Deja Vu
10. Pharell - Frontin
11. Deep Dish - GU Moscow
12. Deep Dish - GU Toronto and Ali's and Sharam's afterhour cd's

Your turn...

You only like one 2pac song?!? Albums man, albums. All Eyez on Me is a must. The Don Killuminati is pretty good too as well as Me Against the World.

I'd have to say all of Led Zep's stuff. Definitely have to have Illmatic, the greatest rap album of all time. Pink Floyd, Hendrix, DJ Shadow, Wu Tang...The list goes on.

And you need Dr. Dre's The Chronic.

judging by the list of songs and artist(although they are classic legends), you must be a wee bit older than me...so my opinion is probably a waste of time haha

Probably not. Just turned 22. I collect music. It's kind of a hobby.

I don't have a must have list, but since we're on 2pac. I was never a fan of his style, prefer Biggie's over it.

The only gangster rapper I really like from the West is Eazy E.

While I slightly agree with the Biggie style point, they were two different breeds of rappers. B.I.G. had an incredible flow. IMO, the best there ever was, and quite possibly the best there ever will be. But, he wrote nothing of substance. His first album was about growing up in the hood, making it big, and various themes centered around depression. Life After Death was more of a narrated movie, with a mafioso theme to it. 2Pac wrote songs about female empowerment, the afterlife, political problems, and the struggle faced by him as a black man. When he rapped, his voice had a powerful sound that really pushed his lyrics. That's why he is considered the best there ever was. That's why it is hard for me to pick a favorite, because on one hand you have a man with an amazing rapping ability, and on the other you have a man with incredible lyrical content. At the end of the day, which matters more?

Eazy E is the epitomy of an overrated artist. Yes, he pioneered the gangsta rap genre. But most of his rhymes were written by Ice Cube and the ones he wrote himself were subpar at best. He only got where he got because he was the face of N.W.A.

Illmatic...favorite album of all time.

[Dmitriy@AUTOcouture]

I'll def. look into getting some more 2pac, never was a huge fan though. Always liked Biggy more for some reason.

Downloading illmatic now, I had the album when I was younger but must have lost the CD. Thanks!

Any other suggestions? E90post has to get in on this, only 6 replies is kind of lame.

[MontegoblueE92]

If you like Illmatic, you'll probably like It Was Written too. It's also by Nas and was his second album. If you're into that sound you'll probably like E 1999 by Bone Thugs n Harmony. I'd also recommend Reasonable Doubt by Jay-Z. That was his debut and his best work IMO. If you like Pharrel's production you'll probably like American Gangster, which was Jay's album from a couple years ago.

I don't know if you like Lil Wayne but Tha Carter II is a must for me. It's definitely his best album. Like Father Like Son was also pretty good.

Just go through the 'what song are you listening to right now' thread. Get all the albums that those tracks are on. I would figure most people would post some of their favorite tracks on that thread, and besides, there's a million music threads already.

This thread is the same as saying "what're your favorite songs".

Tiesto??? He's all about synthasized sounds and ghey lyrics.

Dave Seaman, Nic Fancuilli, Dubfire/Sharam, Hernan Cattaneo if we're talking about the house/trance genre.
