What are the rap songs that put you in that bittersweet mood?
This thread will be a safe place - though memories are for faggots, we'll just choose to ignore that. Should be interesting to see if there is any overlap between the selections here and the ones in the Feel Good thread.
I'll start off with the single most obvious and one of the best examples:
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WTOD8PUWIug?fs ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WTOD8PUWIug?fs ... n_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
Call me a faggot, but "for now it's all a dream/ 'cause I find myself in the place where I'm last seen" is one of the genre's most well crafted, beautifully sad couplets, amidst many others in Ghost's verse, which ends in the incredible, unintentonal bit of comedic relief "sunshine plays a major part in the daytime."

This would be my personal choice, shed a tear more than once listening to it and me and my mom danced to it at my wedding.
All That I've Got is You and For Da Brothaz are favs for me as well.

Tragedy's Grand Groove Remix and the other one about his mother, Permanently Scarred.
Can anyone tell me the song the singing on the latter is interpolated from? It's the male vocalist 2/3rds through the song: 'Days and nights are getting colder, I can't take it anymore, death is knocking at my door etc'
O.C.'s Born 2 Live of course
Third verse of T.R.O.Y
The Legion's Rest In Peace
Bits of Nore's I Love My Life
Cormega's Fallen Soldiers
sorry if these have been mentioned, I can't see the youtube links right now

The hook is tear-inducing but in a beautiful rather than sad way in spite of the song, "you used to hold me, told me that I was the best..." and so on.

Last Emperor & Too Poetic - "One Life"

Hearing someone rap about what's killing them mere months before it actually does is something I don't believe I've heard replicated before or since. The way Poetic goes from his very personal feelings to just listing everything around him and letting the listener fill in the blanks is really soul crushing.

Guru dives into these memories seemingly at random. "Eyes so serious, you told me hold my head" is really fucking vivid about a person who's gone, and then that second verse about a good dude who was stabbed in his sleep, "I wish you was here cause your philosophy was mad deep" just hits home.

"It's kinda rough starting over, but it's worth the pain/ Instead of getting stuck with the same ol' same." Everybody's had hard times, and had to best move on from something. Gets you down but also motivated to get up.

The whole verse is one long quotable, but some standouts:
"Everybody wanna be hood, they're so fuckin dumb
Tell me why they're running to everything I'm running from
What the fuck, you live in a bubble, boy? It's troublesome
See those white sheets on the street? You could be under one
Coroner calling your mother, down goes another son
and the world keeps spinning, just like it's nothing, huh"
"Crooked, you done shot at dudes, you a hypocrite
My nigga they shot at me first, that's why I did the shit
That was long ago, I'm on a different tip
to no longer look over my shoulder, it's magnificient"
"Hip hop moguls, they were my inspiration
when I was homeless and sleeping at the bus station
Hungry as a hostage, imagine my frustration
I earned this here right to speak to my young nation"
TOO REAL.
Some of those lines get me everytime.

Yet you can't quote it properly....Thun wrote:
Call me a faggot, but "for now it's all a dream/ 'cause I find myself in the place where I'm last seen" is one of the genre's most well crafted, beautifully sad couplets

Add undying love and k-issing off 'i am.' the first is a certified classic that sounds like a non comic version of slick ricks verse on treat em like a prostitute. The second I know people will hate on cause all they hear is the hook, but the verses are dope. Nas talking about his wife in a semi honest way, lotta emotion in that song, deep no homo.
