not as a whole no, but a time in that genre
no one song embodies or represents hip hop as a whole
-
"East Coast Killa/ West Coast Killa" that song was very important at the time it came out. Dre was one of the first West Coast artists to open up to the East Coast. Others followed.
Also "Hit em Up" by 2pac could be one of the most significant hip-hop tracks ever. Had that song never of been recorded, Biggie and 2pac may very well both still be with us. That song took the East Coast/ West Coast beef to the next level.

Its easy. All rap history is divided into BEFORE G THANG and AFTER G THANG.
Nuthin But A G Thang, str8 up.

Rapper's Delight
Hehehe, thats got me thinking. Ya know that gay (he is actually gay) rapper Cashun? Well he's recorded a song called funnily enough, "Gay Rappers Delight" where he shouts out to Snoop, Em & a whole bunch of other rappers, LOL. He's gonnna get his ass whooped!
Anyways, back to the topic, I'd defo place "Nuttin But A 'G' Thang" up there, that basically opened up the eyes of the world to full on, g'd up WestCoast hip-hop. Classic joint.

there is no one song...
peace.

some of u jus thinkin about westcoast and gangsta rap.
there was hip hop b4 tha chronic.
i wreckon 'Fight the Power' by PE or 'Express Yourself' by NWA
-
Its just like I said, there was HH before the Chronic and there is one after it.
If not for the Chronic, we'd still be listening to Yesh yesh yall, ya dont stop, keep on, to the break of dawn....... Two years ago, a friend of mine..... and all that wack ol school shit that pisses me off ev'rytime I hear it. Gangsta rap was the shock therapy for HH, and it cured HH from lots of corny shit.

no it wouldn't
u jus lookin at it for the westside's point of view. remember at the same time as chronic came out, peeps like The Wu, and many other's were comin out, don't jus think about the west

Sorry to hit you with it but I guess I'm the BIGGEST WU TANG FAN ON THIS WHOLE FORUM just check my reviews in the Album Review forum, so please dont tell me anything about the Wu, Im with them since day 2 or something. But The Chronic just made more impact. The WuTang revolutionized New York rap, Dre & Snoop revolutionized the whole rap.
No offense to you guys, I was just lettin you know.

yeah i read ur reviews, u probz are a bigger fan then me. All i'm saying is that there's more to 'Hip-Hop' than what comes out of Dre's Studio.
i ain't a hater to dre or anyone, i love that stuff. jus saying that the topic was 'hip hop' not jus gangsta rap/G funk
-
Alright alright, but G Thang is still untouchable, unfuckable, unbelievable, unfadable and all that shit, but yall know that................................
SHAME ON A NIGGA WHO TRIED TO RUN GAME ON A NIGGA! I'LL FUCK YA ASS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ha ha ha ;D ;D ;D
-
Run DMC and Aerosmith - Walk this Way - in terms of commercialisation of Hip Hop this is the most important song in Hip Hop history
-
Slick Ricks - Story Tellin was big. Snoop says he uses slick's style, without that g thang wouldn't exist
-
yo i think one of the most recent important song for hip-hop to get back on it's feet is definately
Cormega- American Beauty
if you haven't heard it, than buy the cd now, or download the song or whatever but you gotta hear how tight and deep this shit is...don't sleep on it cause it's an underground eastcoast emcee yall, peace.
-
here are the lyrics to cormega- american beauty
just in case yall were gonna sleep on it
check these lyrics out, bet you'll wanna peep the track after
Yo, its night time I can't sleepMy pens beggin' me to write rhymes
Cory's a felony despite timeI erase the urge on the tip of my tongue
I taste the words a story is born, my glorious song
Hip hop cannot ignore me for long
I know her last man abused her, I can't refuse her
Alotta niggas used her, treated her like shit even confused her
She had class now she sellin it all for cash
When Marley had her, her face was more pure body fatter
Primo treated her good, made her the queen in my hood
She used to be out in Queens with DMCAnd on the rooftp with Big, Fritz, and R.P.
She was fly she kept her shit tight
Yo if he didn't go to jail dun, she mighta been Slick Rick's wife
Disappeared a few years, she was "Stranded On Death Row"
Dre had her on anotha level in the west coast
She met a lame with with a drug dealer name
He had a lot for a while, then his whole style changed
You know the wisdom is reflected the knowledge when its manifested
If not fed in due time the mind is anerexicYou understand the message
I know I'm gettin to deep for someRhyme -- Uncut raw, the beat numb
Back to the subject in hand, I called her and said I miss her
Stop fuckin with my fake crew cuz they dissed her
Then along came the R, reminding her of her essence
Rza said she like a sister blessin her with lessons
She was stressed because she missed Pac
She still crying after B.I.G. died askin 'when will this shit stop?'
I love her like a mother, my physical path
She even overlooked the fact about my criminal past
And stayed with me in jail beyond gates visitors passed
No longer is she lettin niggas fuck her just for cashWhats her name dun?
that's some real deep hip-hop, peace.

I prefer Common's "I Used To Love H.E.R." but Cormega came nice on that track however it is not one of Hip Hop's most important songs.
-
i said it was one of the most important songs of recent days, peace.
-
I love that whole Cormega cd, but i hesitate to say that American Beauty is really important (very dope song though, he flips that beat way better than Nas and Jada did on Jada cd)
-
yeah i agree, cormega's is better because it is more dark...and the lyrics blow jada and nas right out of the water, peace.
-
Some very important songs in hip-hop:
"East Coast Killaz/West Coast Killaz" - Signafied a turning point in hip-hop. Title kinda says it all.
"Nuthin But A 'G' Thang" - Just the vibe and style of the song. The raps told by Dre and Snoop were real, and portrayed the everyday lives of many West coast ridaz/
"The Light" - A song about lookin at things in a different way...more positive hip-hop.
There are more.
-
i cant believe no1 said these songs tha message by grand master flash, this was like tha 1st serious rap song of its time
Deep cover- this song introduced snoop to tha world.
NWA- Boyz N tha Hood
tha crossroads- all rap tribute songs are compared to this one
Cali luv- durin tha east-west war, this was tha west war anthem, even on vh1 this was voted tha greatest callbo of all-time, not tha greatest rap callabo but tha greatest callbo of all-time including all genre's

Sheeeeit! I didn't know that! Thats fcuking awsome! lol. Not only is it dope as it's Dre & Pac, but it's a hip-hop tune! It's a total hip-hop classic but I would've never of thought it could take the title above ALL genres of music!
-
It's close 2 being tha best collabo ever.......... ;)
-
"Bitch Please" is an important song to "West Coast Hip Hop" because it arguably brought the West Coast back into the limelight plus the song is just a damn CLASSIC!

Good song but it's not important. Plus common's version is better.
-
Well for the west scene it has to be Straight Outta Compton, that puts the west right on the map.
