Rap tracks that have the word "Straight" in them

Jaz · Post by **Jaz** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 8:47 am

I am just compiling a list for these as the group I manage needs the best ones for DJ cuts on their new track.

I don't need every one (there are probably thousands) just some dope ones please.

The first 2 I thought of were

Jungle Brothers-Straight Out The Jungle
NWA-Straight Outta Compton

and others I can think of are...

Big Daddy Kane-"Aint No Half Steppin' ("Time to set it straight")
CB4-Straight Outta Locash
Das EFX-Straight Out The Sewer
CMW-Straight Checkin Em
Tha Alkaholiks-Make Room ("Getting Straight Down To Business")
Wu Tang Clan-Wu Tang Clan Aint Nuthin To Fuck With ("Straight from the mother fucking slums that's busted")
Shabaam Sahdeeq aka S-Double* - Straight Like That
Ice Cube "Straight Jackin")
MCM-Straight
Finesse & Synquis - Straight From The Soul
Get Off My Productions-Straight From The Go
Common-Soul By The Pound ("But I'm straight, are you straight, if you straight, then I'm straight")
Mr Len ft Q-Unique-Straight
Live Wirez-Straight From The Dome
U.G.O.-Straight From The Heart
Three Times Dope-Straight Up
PMD-Straight From Da Heart

Let's go...

Who says "Straight up and down" was that Kieth Murray?

Does Large Pro say Straight in a track?
Rakim?...18th Letter album?

Thanks keep in mind please, that I need tracks with the word Straight in them, some of them might have it in the title, but they don't say it on the track...how could I forget EPMD..."New York straight talk"...man the brain file is dusty...

Nice idea for looking at the writing of Hip Hop songs as a whole Jaz, most of the songs that have the word straight in em tend to be serious and have a focused message, which far from what I'm used to hearing in today's mainstream.

I took a quick look around in my iTunes and record shelf and found these:

Rah Digga - Straight Spittin'
Rock - Straight Outta Brownsville (rmx) f. Billy Danze, Smoothe Da Husler & Lucky Don
T.I. - I'm Straight (Feat. B.G. & Young Jeezy) off his "King" album
Positive K - Straight Fire (remember that comeback single from a few years ago?)
Mobb Deep - Straight Murder (Feat 50 Cent) from Mobb Misses Pt. 4 mixtape
Ice - T - Straight Up Nigga off 1992's O.G. Original Gangster
Compton's Most Wanted - Straight Check'n 'Em
Brand Nubian - Straight Outta Now Rule - love that song off Foundation, prod. by Lord Finesse http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lUiTmCZjRc
DJ Honda feat. Brand Nubian - Straight Talk New York Remix

This is gonna take the fun out of it but googling any artist's name + 'lyrics' + 'straight' will give you plenty to sort through. For starters I came up with these:

Public Enemy- Get The Fuck Outta Dodge "I'm straight up and I'm straight so how ya like me now / but I know how you do, you're straight from Babylon"
BDP- Iגm Still No. 1, Stop The Violence, Blackman In Effect
Big Daddy Kane- Symphony גAs the great will dominate straight to the stateג¦ג
Slick Rick- Hey Young World גPull yourself together, and get yourself straightג
Slick Rick- Childrenגs Story גStraight גnג narrow or your soul gets castג
Lauryn Hill- Lost Ones גTried to play straight, how ya whole style bentג
MC Lyte- Shut the Eff Up (Hoe) גOr shall I go straight to 80 percentג
Chubb Rock- Beef (PMD) "I couldn't wait to get straight and dominate state to state"
Jeru the Damaja- Come Clean "You was webbed straight from the start"

and so on

There's so many that aren't coming to mind right now.

Diamond D-Step To Me-'had to get a waiver to go to college back in 88, but now I'm straight.'

ODB-Funkmaster Flex's Nuttin' But Flava-'Straight to the top, I was born to be dope.'

I've heard 'straight up and down' said on quite a few tracks, thinking Prodigy or Ghost or somebody.
