I think one of the best ways to test a song is if it brings out your emotions. I know some of my favorite songs make me feel sad, and help me remember certain things when I listen to certain songs. Here are songs that do that:
"I Don't Wanna Hurt No More" - Nate Dogg
"The Light" - Common
"You Never Know" - Warren G
"You Are" - Bilal
"Love It" - Bilal
"Been A Long Time" - TQ
"Best Friend" -TQ
"Hard Life" - TQ
"Internationally Yours" - TQ
"Show Me Love" - Snoop Dogg
"Lifetime" - Maxewell
"Everytime" - Latoiya Williams
"Friends" - Tha Eastsidaz
How bout y'all?

Summer Breeze- DJ Quik (one of my fav. cuts of all time)
I Remember- Coolio, j-ro (This shit takes me back)
Stay Focused- Do or Die (these guys are wack,but this song is deep)

Outlawz - Breakin The Rules
Outlawz - Hennessey and Weed
Nuff said.
-
Ah, no use namin' um they're the same for everybody.
BTW, yall... any of you know how to read music? If you did, you'd know that these songs purposely make you sad, there's really no thought to it, all you have to do is make it in a minor key, and put a few minor notes in there, and voila, it's a sad song. You can take any song that's in a major key, and make it sad just by turning the 3rd note flat (minorizing the key). then there's little tricks like false resolutions etc. that lead you right along too. If any of yall play piano, you'll know what I mean.
Peace~

Minorizing a word?????
Is that a real word or a Trauma word? :)
-Big BpG

No, I don't live on the East coast, or anywhere in the states, even.
And if I did, I wouldn't be getting caught up in that east v west bullshit.
Biggie did a song that came to mind when I posted.
If you wanna think Biggie bit 'Pac, that's up to you.
A good song is a good song, and talent is talent, and fuck east v west.
And for the record, 'Pac made some deep tracks too.
Is that "half a brain" comment refering to me...........?

Here's what i'm talking about, from my music theory discussions
---------------------------------------------------------
The interval from D to F is three semitones (a minor third) and the interval from F to A is four semitones (a major third). So this chord is similar to the C major chord in that it contains a major third and a minor third interval, but different because in this chord, the minor third interval is on the bottom and the major third is on the top. Chords built like this are called minor chords, and this one is built on D, so it is called D minor. You could make the D minor chord by playing the first, third and fifth notes of the D minor scale.
If you play this chord, you should notice that it has a sad sound. All minor chords have this sound.
You can see that the fifth note within this chord, A, is seven semitones or a perfect fifth above the root note, D - just as the fifth note in our C major chord was a perfect fifth above the root note. The only difference in the pattern of intervals is with the third note, which is one semitone lower, or 'flatter' than the third note of the major chord, relative to the root note. Musicians sometimes refer to this note as a 'flattened third'.
To make this even more obvious listen to a C major chord compared to a C minor chord. The C major chord contains the notes C, E, G: C minor contains C, Eb, G - it is not a diatonic chord in C major. You should hear that the flattened third changes the character of the chord from happy to sad.
---------------------------------------------------------
It's an old trick, if you ever wanna write a sad song, that will hit people in the heart like everyone of the one's we've already named, just flat the 3rd.

Siberian wolf, you should be ashamed of yourself, cuz you don't know what YOU are talking about!
First of all, how is Biggie's "Me and My Bitch, the supposed "deepest" song ever? I mean, he says in the song if his girl don't act right he will "beat her right"! That is some deep shit....whatever!
Secondly, 2pac's Me and My Girlfriend in know way copies this, so why should Ws be "ashamed" of himself...Pac's song was about him and his gun, BIggie's song is really about him and his "bitch"! Either you do not have a proper command of the English language yet, or you are just retarded! PEACE and i feel sorry for you
