Scarface - Guess Who’s Back? (feat. Jay Z and Beanie Sigel)
Not really sad raps, but the ultimate of somber rap beats dude.
Can we collectively agree that this Jay’s prime?
“Face it yall / yall n*ggas playing basic ball / i’m on the block like i’m eight tall, HOMIE”
Listened to this one on repeat whilst playing NCAA Football (the one with JoJo Harrington on the cover — created team, natch).
Jay Z - This Can’t Be Life
Jay was making some epic sad raps during this era.

Regarding that prior post // this comment thread was kinda tight. {are comment threads ever tight tho?} // am I being nostalgic for 2009?
G-Side - Who’s Hood? (Live in Huntsville, AL)
Remember G-Side? :’-(
Also, though not included in this performance, Yelawolf’s verse here is a personal favorite. This verse transitioned a month later into non-stop Trunk Muzik spins.
The Cadillac sittin in front of the house you know the (?) needs work/
Been parking that shit so long in the grass that all we got left is dirt
Waka Flocka - Anything But Broke (feat. French Montana & Frenchie, prod. by Southside)
This tape is pretty great my first few times through. The beginning is loud “vintage-y” Waka. This song is vintage Waka in so far as he reliably includes a not-aggressive sounding song or two in his tapes. The trick with the best of these songs for me is that they too are pretty aggressive in content. (This format is immediately echoed on DuFlocka Rant 2’s last track, “Real Recognize Real”.)
Accordingly, this track is essentially Waka calling out “f*ck”-boys for their comparatively weak financial status. Southside’s slinking beat is a sneaky good accompaniment for the taunting nature of the content. And, this feels like the right context for a French Montana guest verse.
Future - YSL Cheetah (feat. Juelz Santana, prod. by Zaytoven)
Missed this one the first time around.
Lil B - Eat
“36 b*tches, call me Scottie Pippen”
Nas - Zone Out ft. Jungle & Wiz (Prod. by Salaam Remi)
When God’s Son was released, I remember folks disliking this track. While the Bravehearts’ verses are garbage, the Salaam Remi beat is bizarre / great. This thing could’ve sounded at home on Hell Hath No Fury.
