I don't know if I'll be able to explain what I'm looking for, but it's worth a shot. I'm not some big rap aficionado, but I'm looking to make a playlist featuring some more mellow rap songs. I only have three to go off of so far, but if anyone can suggest songs like the two I mention here, it'd be much appreciated.

I'm looking for songs that are laid back and mellow, such as Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta by Geto Boys, Fallin' by De La Soul, and It Was A Good Day by Ice Cube.

Like I said, not much to go off of, but that's the type of sound I'm looking for. So all you rap fans in the know, please help me out! Thanks in advance.

Took me awhile to compile this

dr dre - nuthin but a g thang
too short - gettin it
masta ace - the inc ride
easy e - id rather fuck you
da brat - lets all get high
2pac - life goes on
notorious big - skys the limit
the dogg pound - lets play house

Last two are instrumentals but dopeness.

I dunno if you're looking for laid back beats or lyrics, but I've always liked this beat, as simple as it is:

Living Legends (Grouch & Eligh) - Remember Who You Are

Grouch & Eligh - Say G&E

MURS - Everything

Kid Cudi - Mojo So Dope

Kanye West - Everything I Am

A Tribe Called Quest - Can I Kick It?

Brother Ali - Real As Can Be

Dilated Peoples - This Way

Wu Tang Clan - Can't Go to Sleep




Gotta lot of other also, just hit me up if you dig any of these dudes and i'll gladly shoot you some more recomendations

Atmosphere's overcast CD one of their best and its what exactly what your looking for i think.
