    Forgot about that last one. Such a great verse. I can try to make a top 10 but seriously it's impossible..

    Lost Ones
    Can I Live
    U Don't Know
    D'Evils
    Nickels And Dimes
    Somewhere in America
    What More Can I Say
    Most Kingz
    Roc Boys
    No Hook
    American Gangster (song)
    Blueprint 2
    Ignorant s---
    Meet The Parents
    Beach Chair
    Heart Of The City
    Empire State Of Mind
    A Million and 1 Questions
    This Life Forever
    Parkin Lot Pimpin

    No order

    I can go on tbh... and I'm not even thinking about his non album stuff and other collabs/features, just his albums (maybe there are a few in here that aren't on them tho)

    d--- didn't know that. He is on autopilot on some songs/feats but it's really impressive that after all these years he still sounds hungry and speaks from the heart like he does on this song.
