Thanks. Can you guys think of some bluesy hip-hop tracks? Think Bun B (Gone Away).

Re: best hip-hop tracks with guitar riffs
Nice choices everybody.
I love "Down" by The Beatnuts from their Take It Or Squeeze It album. Can't imagine what the song would be without Eric Krasno's guitar riffs.
Some more bluesy stuff:
De La Soul's "Mille" & K-Solo's "Long Live The Fugitive" which both flip the same Funkadelic sample. I love the sad bluesy vibe of both songs.
Bas Blasta's classic posse cut "The Rhythm" has some sharp riffs.
Saigon's "Come On Baby"
DJ Muggs' sound stood out with his use of Blues riffs back in the early 90's for Cypress, Funkdoobiest & House of Pain. Check out the album version of Funkdoobiest's 'Where's It At?"
I love the riffs throughout Scarface & Nas's "In Between Us". Sounds more soulful than bluesy but good nonetheless.

Re: best hip-hop tracks with guitar riffs
I love the 2-note Blues guitar riff from Diamond's "Check One Two", taken from the Blues/Rock classic album by Mike Bloomfield & Al Kooper. Diamond also used another 1-note at the start of the song above for House Of Pain's "Word Is Bond".

Re: best hip-hop tracks with guitar riffs
Not blusey, but can't mention guitar riff rap tracks without including X-Ecutioners & M.O.P. Let It Bang, shit goes HARD.

Re: best hip-hop tracks with guitar riffs
One of my favorite recent posse cuts. Cool riff parts to lead into the choruses and introduce the legendary Sean Price: Starvin B's "Biological Threats" feat. Skanks, Sean Price and Shatike https://starvinb.bandcamp.com/track/bio ... nd-shatike" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Listening to the latest ep of Take It Personal reminded me of the cool riffs on Pharohe Monch's Agent Orange.
