I should mention 2pac, "Me Against The World" or his "Makevelli" album. But really, the album I have to mention, suprisingly, is Slimm Calhoun's forgotten album "The Skinny". It has 3 songs that I can listen to 1,000 times when I've been in my darkest moments and it will get me through to a brighter day. The tracks are below...
1. "Timelock"
2. "Lil Buddy (Till Death Do Us Part)"
3. "Wordly Ways"
-
Xzibit - Get Your Walk On
Still works excellent when I'm down. Something about that song makes me feel like, ah whatever, let's keep going.
-
Those songs that can pick u up are the best
For me Gangstar- Moment of Truth, The Last Emperor- One Life and recently Ya Boy - Down so Long
I can listen to them 4+ times just on repea. havn't heard those tracks you mentioned any chance of an up
If you want one of the tracks abiove let me know

Most music by singer-songwriter James Taylor.
There's something about his music, lyrics, voice and themes that just soothes me, mroe so than any hip-hop will ever manage. Especially his 1997 'Hourglass' album, which is one of the most beautiful albums I have ever heard.

Zion I (f/ Talib Kweli) - "Temperature."
Common - "The 6th Sense"
I just listen to those tracks and smile. :)

if i´m feeling depressed or is in a bad mood i´ll just listen to some hella depressed music by artists that´s been thru way worse situations then me. and after that i´ll realize that whatever situation that i´m going thru aint so bad compared to what a lot of people has gone thru.

Call me crazy, but when anyone around me has dies, since about 1999, I listen to Puffy's "Ill Be Missing You"
As corny as it is, the lyrics, really helped me, particaluarly on May 29th, 2000 the day my beloved uncle died (RIP Andrew J. Lowe)
-
pop in Bob Marley's Legend.

There's also this one particular folk song by Boudewijn de Groot that's extremely uplifting to me (De Vondeling van Ameland). It tells the tale of a foundling one day drifting ashore on an island, and then being found and raised by a wrecker. The foundling becomes a singular type; a fanatic with a special bond with the ocean. He can make the tide turn back by yelling at the waves in a passionate way. One day he disappears and vanishes in the waves. That's one extremely touching, epic song...

When I'm going thru hard times I like to listen to songs about hard times. It doesn't make it feel any better but it's got meaning and hunger in it, ya know? Also like to hear those songs that are very close in relation to what the artist is going thru, that I'm going thru. If that sentence just made any sense. :-\
There's so much fuckin' shit but just off the top, shit like, DMX's Slippin'. There's so much though. DMX's Look Thru My Eyes, Yung Wun - Starvin' & Robbin', Papoose - Mind, Body & Soul, Cam'ron - D Ruggs, Bone Thugs & Harmony - I Tried, Scarface - Now I Feel Ya, Tupac - Changes, Smoothe Da Hustla - Only Human etc.
Than you got the R&B and Soul shit too.
-
Eminem "I'm Back", helped bring me out of a bad part of a mushroom trip ;D
-
But when you just need to get out of that mood altogether, what really changes mines, is those soul records, especially when the saxaphone is in them. Alot of Motown too.
-
When I'm in a bad/depressed mood I play "Optimistic" by Tonedeff..Usually gets me out of that mood quick..

I've never really got into him. I have most of his stuff but haven't gotten around to listening to them. The only track I consistently listen to is Fire and Rain, which I love. Any songs stand out for you that I should listen to?
As far as my hard times go, I don't have any, hard times that is. 3 meals a day, a roof over my head, no one trying to kill me and no looking over my shoulder when I'm out and about. That reality check kicks in every time I start to feel down about anything. It says "Peter, you're a fucking jackass. You don't have real problems." I've never been sad or mad or down for more than 5 or 6 consecutive minutes.

Murs - Varsity Blues EP
This album, as short as it is, is just amazing. He speaks on everything from accepting that we'll all die one day, relationships and commitment, dealing with people that think they're harder than they are, etc.
Deep Purple - Lazy
This song just puts in all in perspective as far as feeling like shit goes. Anytime I find myself sitting around too much, and not taking care of business, I just think about this song and get my ass up and going. Gotta love lyrics like, "you're lazy, you just stay in bed, you're lazy, you don't want no bread."
Rascal Flatts - When The Sand Runs Out
A country song, yes country, that portrays a guy reminiscing about his friend that lived every day to the fullest to ensure that he would leave his mark on the world. My favorite lyrics are actually the chorus:
I'm gonna stop lookin' back and start movin' on
And learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I wanna leave something here
Go out on a ledge, with out any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah I wanna be runnin'
When the sand runs out

lmao, you know you fucked up right? That's like saying that you're listening to Rakim - Ice, Ice, Baby.
Doesn't matter if someone on limewire mislabeled it... you have to be pretty fucking ignorant to not hear the difference between Bobby McFerrin and Bob Marley ;D
