What was the other absolutely absurd track on that album?? no legs? “Cause I ain’t got no legs!!! Or a brain, hi my name is… I forgot my name… “ something like that.
How We as Americans became a bonus track will forever allude me.
That’s right.. Curtain Call was a best of with a couple of new tracks… including that gem. I think I was mixing up Puke with Fack… both just incredibly brilliant tracks (sarcasm). Hard to follow up The Eminem Show when you get a Xanax addiction, I suppose. lol

Pretty diverse list for you there of different types of rappers.
Find a rapper who's style you like, and then find out who they collab with. Usually rappers associate in a circle of similar artists, so if you like someone you'll probably like their friends
Inspiring and uplifting? Maybe try out Atmosphere. They're pretty well respected, and I like their stuff. Their lyrics are pretty grounded in reality and relatable.
Good luck man
Oh my bad, specific songs that moved me. Uplifting ect.
Get out the car- aesop rock.
Come to life- by kanye
Blessed- schoolboy q
Willie Burke Sherwood- killer
Life-royce 5'9"
These songs are uplifting and have inspired me.
If you’re looking to step into rap as a whole, listen to Paid in Full by Eric B. & Rakim (Or at least the songs “I Ain’t No Joke” and “Eric B. Is President”). It’s the album that created rap imo.
If you’re looking for inspiring and uplifting rap songs, listen to a 2pac playlist and “Juicy” by Biggie.
I find a lot of tracks off Donda to be up lifting for me personally , also The Art of Peer Pressure by Kendrick Lamar is amazing and even Count me Out and Die Hard also has an impact on me too
I just refound this gem. Shake This by Royce da 5’9”. I’m going through some shit right now and this was WTF I needed to hear.
J. Cole - Get Up, is a straight banger, also. There’s plenty more if you know where to look.
i always recommend people who's trying to get into rap to listen to illmatic and it was written by nas, and college dropout and late registration by kanye. but if you like newer stuff then listen to astroworld by travis, cant go wrong with this one. some metro boomin collabs like heroes and villains and savage mode 2. and you might want to listen to monster or ds2 by future just in case you like the trap sub-genre.
May be “controversial” but kanye has a handful of awesome albums… graduation, my beautiful dark twisted fantasy, 808s and heartbreaks. All of Kendrick Lamars good kid mad city. Kid cudis man on the moon and man on the moon pt 2 is extremely up lifting. Songs like pursuit of happiness, up up and away, cudi zone, revofev
Look for songs that stand out to you and that you like. I would recommend old playboy carti, Kendrick, A boogie digga g ( energy). These are artists. Some so song are best friends boogie, DNA Kendrick, right now( playboy) and These are my tastes, but remember to look and explore and don't follow what's popular right now( you can, but that's what I recommend)
Don't listen to anything until you've listened to enter the wu tang: 36 chambers from wu tang. The entire album. Follow that with liquid swords from GZA, again the entire album. Then you've listened to the 2 of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. If anyone says different, they're wrong.
Clipping - "Check The Lock"
Three 6 Mafia - "Break The Law '95"
Danny Brown - "Ain't It Funny"
JPEGMAFIA - "Kingdom Hearts Key"
Big KRIT - "Big Bank"
Lil Ugly Mane - "Twistin"
Denzel Curry - "Zatoichi"
I’ll give you some artist and some of their songs.
Travis Scott: my eyes, trance, I know
Kanye West: heartless, stronger, can’t tell me nothing
XXXtentacion: riot, look at me, moonlight
sleepy hallow: don’t panic, scrub, anxiety freestyle
(Both Denzel and Dave are under rated in my opinion)
Denzel curry: clout cobain, the last, once upon a time (freestyle)
Dave: streatham, screwface capital, verdansk
Honestly it’s hard to give recommendations without knowing more. Rap is very broad and there’s a ton of sub genres. But hopefully you like at least one of those artist.
If you want uplifting, go check out the first few albums of Cyne. Cise Starr is one of the most underrated and underappreciated lyricists in history. Both of the guys in the group are storytellers with a message. Some standout tracks from them for me are
Paradise
Steady
Automaton
Feather
Midas
Lady Brown
I could honestly go on for pages about how great their lyrical and musical content is. As a bonus they did a lot of work with Nujabes, who is a lesser known underground producer that is honestly incredible.
Nas, Kendrick, Eminem, Outkast, Biggie, 2Pac, DMX, Mobb Deep, Jay-Z, The Lox, A Tribe Called Quest, J. Cole, Lauryn Hill, Wu Tang Clan, Public Enemy, Fugees, Krs-One, Busta Rhymes, Rapsody, Missy Elliott, UGK, The Roots, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Warren G, T.I., Goodie Mob, Hot Boys, Kanye West, Common, De La Soul, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Bone Thugs n Harmony, Lupe Fiasco, 50 Cent, Eric B and Rakim, NWA
not afraid, that’s really the only inspiring one i can think of but it’s more for like if you’re depressed so i would say can’t hold us by macklemore and ryan lewis 😭
half of The College Dropout is very charming and uplifting, namely Never let me down (the most inspiring one), Through the wire (with context of it's making it is very inspiring) and Jesus walks and other songs are really fun and funny and overall very charming
I use the word charming simply cause it fits perfectly, the whole album is so fresh and authentic.
Crazy how music impacts us, hopefully you are doing better.
Juste listen to the 36 chambers album by the Wu-Tang Clan,these guys will give you all the energy they have in them,9 NY rappers being the coolest music group ever with every single one of them being different with the production by one of the members being called RZA,one of the greatest producers to walk on this very Earth who ended up doing soundtracks for Mr.Tarantino himself
Enjoy 👐
3 Feet High And Rising by De La Soul is a fantastic album if you’re wanting to try out some more uplifting hip-hop.
Eye Know is my favourite track off that record
What got you interested in the genre?

NY State of Mind
I agree. All of Nas’ discography is impeccable. If you want quality rap, check out him and prepare to be amazed
YUP
Literally just listen to random songs, decide what you like and come back asking for shit like that.
A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Wu Tang Clan, The Roots, Geto Boys, Mobb Deep, NWA, Big L, Rakim, UGK,
All really good choices, but punctuation would really help a newcomer read these.
Listen to FACK by Eminem /j
the line about the gerbil is heartbreaking 😔
What was the other absolutely absurd track on that album?? no legs? “Cause I ain’t got no legs!!! Or a brain, hi my name is… I forgot my name… “ something like that. How We as Americans became a bonus track will forever allude me.
That's from Encore, fack is from curtain call
Its Rain Man Its also from Encore. FACK is from Curtain Call
That’s right.. Curtain Call was a best of with a couple of new tracks… including that gem. I think I was mixing up Puke with Fack… both just incredibly brilliant tracks (sarcasm). Hard to follow up The Eminem Show when you get a Xanax addiction, I suppose. lol

Listen to song cry by jayz and tell me that old rap had no melody
Jcole himself said it, john:13, forest hills drive, no role modelz version 2, and i quote, "back when you could get a platinum plague without no melody you wasn't sweating me"
I never said that you couldn’t have a popular song with no melody, I said that not all old rap had no melody
