De La Soul - Grind Date

Eric B. & Rakim - Don't Sweat the Technique

Fort Minor - Believe Me

Gang Starr - Work

Hoodie Allen - Long Night

Ice Cube - It Was a Good Day

Jay-Z - Heart of the City (Jurassic 5 - A Day at the Races, Ja Rule - Race Against Time pt. 2)

Kanye West - We Don't Care (Kendrick - Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe)

Ludacris - Area Codes

Method Man - Pt II

Nas - As We Enter (Nappy Roots - Good Day)

Outkast - The Whole World (Obie Trice - Got Some Teeth)

Pharell - Frontin'

Q-Tip - Gettin Up

The Roots - The Seed 2.0

Shad - I Get Down

Twista - Sunshine

UFO Yepha & Natasja - Hængekøjen Remix

Sunshine by Twista is probably my favourite song ever. It puts me in such a good mood, especially if I don't mess up the lyrics when I rap along haha.
