The Perfect Playlist- James Jones

Rap Playlist (specifically songs that are fun to rap along with)
Slow Jamzzz- Kanye West, Jamie Fox, and Twista 
This song is good for any time but when I want to actually go along and try to keep up with the lyrics, because when the song speeds up you get to hear, and Twista is great. He’s an amazingly fast rapper who I’ve liked to listen to since I was nine years old, and my love for Twista started with this song. It also helps that I know every lyric in the song.  Also it references good r&b artists ie: Luther Vandross, Minnie Ripperton and Marvin Gaye. This song is the first on the list because who doesn't love this song? I mean come on, it's great. 
Taking Off- Clipping
Daveed Diggs, the mc of this group, is incredible, he’s a great rapper and an even better lyricist (fun fact he’s a graduate of Brown University.) The tempo of the rapping changes a lot in this song, from fast but possible to keep up with, to too much to keep me from slurring a lot if I try. This song is second because well you can't start with something this hard to keep up with but you don't want end with it either. 
Somethin’ they Don’t Know- Clipping ft. Hellfyre Club   
This song features more of Daveed Diggs greatness as well as some interesting lyrics from some members of the Hellfyre Club. Anything that includes Daveed Diggs is generally fun to rap along with.
New Slaves- Kanye West
Even though Kanye West is a silly man who is easy to make fun of at times he can make good music, and this is a good example of that in my opinion. This song and the one before are interchangeable for the order of the song, they are both where they are because they are more up tempo and loud sounds. 
Coffee and Tobacco- Knowmads (Tom Pepe and Jesse Judd) ft. Chev 
This is basically a good laid back song, the chorus is fairly simple and easy to remember and rap along with and it’s a pretty good song. A nice laid back song doesn’t even have to be that good to be enjoyable but I think this song is pretty good. It’s a good song for driving too. This is at the end because it's laid back and calm and that's generally a good way to end a list.
