    What would it be? I could name like hundred songs that could be in my top 10 if you ask me on different days.. but for years, my absolute favorite is:

    Jay Z - The Watcher (Ft. Dr. Dre & Rakim).

    Why? Well, the original Watcher is already a classic, but this version... d---. It has an amazing Jay verse, a great (ghostwritten) Dre verse -I love his voice so much-, and then Rakim comes in and kills his part. Add the fact that the beat is godly and the chorus is beautiful, and you got yourself perfection.

    (Off topic: thinking about it, BP2 has a lot of average stuff but it contains some of my favorite Jay songs)

    What would yours be?

    Man this is f---ing tough.

    Auditorium by Mos Def pops into my head right off the bat if we talk about all-time favourites. Infectious beat by the great Madlib, effortless verse by Mos himself and a sick feature from Slick Rick.



    That or Mind Playing Tricks on Me by Geto Boys. All-time classic song from them. I really need to dig into their discography to be honest.

    N.Y. State of Mind by Nas.
    My favorite rapper on a beat made by my favorite producer.
    Also the goat Rakim sampled on the hook.
