    I'm really into sad songs, I just think its crazy how some songs can cause you to get emotional. What are some of the saddest rap songs you guys have heard? Here's a few.

    This one's simple, it's about a dude who broke up with his girl but the storytelling is crazy and the beat is really melancholy.


    This one is particularly sad because Too Poetic, the writer with the last verse, succumbed to his illness a short time after that. I've actually read that it might have been his last recorded verse. His description of the battle against cancer is so vivid.


    Charles wrote this after his cousin passed away and dedicated it to him. The hook is beautiful and from the verses you can tell he was in a dark place at the time.

    Grey's the one where he starts talking about his friend that got shot at the end right? Off DBR?

    EDIT: Yeah, that's the one.

    Nujabes - Reflection Eternal gets me feeling melancholy to be honest... Maybe I'm too easily moved by piano-based beats but yeah it's easily one of my favourite tracks but has a melancholy and sombre feel to it.

    Doesn't really answer the OP's question but yeah.

    Maybe Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst by Kendrick or Tearz by Wu-Tang Clan make me feel somewhat sad.
