So what are yours? Provide videos from Youtube.com ;) Here are a few of mine, although I have too many to name:

The Streets - Blinded by the lights (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POQN2L_-T88)
Ever since I had A Grand Don't Come For Free this was definately one of my favourite songs, dunno why just always stood out even a year back when I first got it and its a quality tune.

Tupac - I aint mad at cha (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgO4CUVvDnM&mode=related&search=) and Changes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miZRhmiLmeA)
This was a toughie and I couldnt pick out of them 2 really, and 'Dying to live' is also a quality tune. The first video takes about aminute to get into the song but its worth it and Changes is probably his most well known song and such quality.

DMX - Shorty was da bomb [Cant find video sorry]
With Flesh of my flesh blood of my blood and The great depression being 2 of my favourite rap albums of all time I have many songs I wanted to add but chose this one, immense song.
Snoop Dogg ft Pharrel Williams - Beautiful
With Snoop's famous rapping skills and Pharrel's amazing voice and wicked lyrics,what more could you want?

Dr Dre - The Next Episode (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpeWDsO0pNQ&mode=related&search=)
Another toughie, I wanted to also add 'B-tch N-ggaz' and 'Still D.R.E' but Dr Dre has amazing songs and this really did it for me.

Warren G ft Nate Dogg- Regulate (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr4TSfy9iGI)
Another classic for me, just love the lyrics and tune.

Luniz - I got 5 on it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tl_n6-IZ51Y)
Old school and like it should be done, wicked back beat.

I wanted to add some more but could go on for ages so unlucky to Ja Rule, Dizzee Rascal, LL Cool J, Busta, Biggie,Grandmaster Flash,Run DMC, 50 Cent, Jay Z and plenty more I would have liked to add.

-Forgot to add Puff Daddy - I'll Be Missing You-

Man I love White Lines by Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel, such a class song and all about 'white lines';) Truly classic.

Quite a few of the songs you mentioned are on 'Kiss Presents - The Hip Hop Collection', quite a rare album but worth the buy some really classic old school songs including Tupac,Flash,Biggie and some of the newer stuff like Ja Rule,Jay Z etc and even more recent stuff by G-Unit 50 Cent etc.

The Message and White Lines are awesome. Ohh, I forgot about Jurassic 5- A Day At the Races. Reminds me of when I used to skate =']
