Nas - Can't Forget About You


doesn't really qualify so much but hey...there's a piano in there

[oldgringo]

A couple I'd like to mention but can't post are two songs by Twista.

The Day After and Korrupt World. I actually tried to upload them to youtube awhile back but I got denied by their fawking copyright claims. If you searched for either track you'd find em....with no audio

Korrupt World is one of the nicest beats I've ever heard. Top 20 overall. Beautiful beat.

[AztecWanker]

xzibit - the foundation
public enemy - black steel in the hour of chaos

[Jamaro85]

This is a long list, here it goes

Nas - The World Is Yours



Jay Electronica - My World (Nas Salute)



Ghostface - Momma



Immortal Technique - Dance With the Devil



Talib Kweli - Get By (obvious, but dope Nina Simone sample, also used on Timbaland "Oh Timbaland")



J Dilla - Mash (one of my favorite beats, period, R.I.P.)



CRS (Child Rebel Soldiers - Lupe, Kanye, Pharrell) - Us Placers



The Alchemist - Strength Of Pain



Timbaland & Magoo - Beep Beep (so simple, but another of my favorite beats)



Rakim - When I'm Flowin



DJ Muggs VS GZA - Explotation of Mistakes



Beanie Sigel - Still Got Love For You (also used on Mary J Blige "I Love You")



Jay-Z - D'Evils



Kanye West - Heavy Hitters



Nas - Queens Get The Money



Q-Tip - Gettin Up (album is a modern classic to me)



Outkast - My Favorite Things (no rapping, just Dre 3000 on the keys...)





Damn, good thread though. Makes me want to throw together a mix of rap songs with live piano/samples.
