Would it be possible to request “My Melody” by Rakim? That song is INSANE. That or “Living In The World Today” by GZA/Genius would be dope!

put every song from:
the infamous- mobb deep
illmatic- nas
paid in full- rakim
follow the leader- rakim
stillmatic- nas
reasonable doubt- jay-z
only built 4 cuban linx…- raekwon the chef
36 chambers- wu-tang clan
liquid swords- GZA/ Genius
straight outta compton- N.W.A
ameriKKKas most wanted- ice cube
supreme clientele- ghostface killah
and you should have yourself a classic and useful hiphop website

We agree, we need more songs. And we are currently working on that very idea. Thanks for the critique. Stay tuned.

This is a great idea, but the implication is that big words = big mind, and that is simply not true. For instance, anyone can use the word “counter-intuitive,” but a better test of any big word usage is whether or not the speaker is using the word correctly. An even better indicator of intelligence or comprehension is whether or not the speaker is saying something new, profound, or multi-layered. Shakespeare is full of short, little words, but there are lots of big ideas contained therein. Hell, Shakespeare disproves my first point: his incorrect word usage (turning nouns into verbs and creating neologisms, i.e. “Unsex me here!” in _Macbeth_) shows an innovative approach to word meanings that show super high comprehension and intelligence, not a super low version of same.

I agree with OBALLER…I think Mastermind by Deltron 3030 would be the highest scoring of any rap song and I think it would be cool to see how a rap song would get on your scale.
