PropsOverHere Presents: The 15 Gulliest Rap Songs Of All Time

Photobucket

After a few minutes of intense shuffling through my iTunes, I'm proud to present what, in my humble opinion, are fifteen of the gulliest peices of music ever created. Feel free to criticize my choices or if you're in the constructive mood, offer alternatives.



15. Big L- Lifestylez ov the Poor and Dangerous

Big L was probably one of the gulliest rappers ever at least in his earlier, D.I.T.C. days, but lacks that one specifically badass anthem. This is the closest thing to it, as it is in my estimation the gulliest song off of the album of the same title.



14. M.O.P.- Handle Your Bizness (DJ Premier Remix)

M.O.P. personifies rap gulliness, but I had to be fair and allow some other people on here. Every M.O.P. song (at least from that era) was on that crazy, violent jumpoff but this is just one of the grimiest beats they ever spit on, and Premier ever made.



13. Gravediggaz- Blood Brothers

The Gravediggaz were gully on a whole other level when they brought that scary "horrorcore" type shit. This was the best example of that.



12. Smoothe Da Huster & Trigger Da Gambler- Broken Language

I wasn't going to include this because its more notable for the way its structured (or however you'd put it) but those guys were fuckin gully and so is this classic D.R. Period beat.



11. Snoop Dogg (Feat. RBX, The Dogg Pound, & The D.O.C.)- Serial Killa

Classic, west coast gangsta rap over a mean Dre beat, just textbook gully.



10. Xzibit- Eyes May Shine

It's too bad he's made weird faces at hoopties for a living because at one time Xzibit was a gully rapper and a damn good one. His mindstate on that whole album was fuckin serious and this was the toughest track.



9. Beanie Sigel- What Your Life Like


Beans is known to be the muscle of the Roc-A-Fella fam (or what is left of it these days), but this song stands out far above the rest. The beat is just a movie score or something (a gully one nonetheless) but after listening to this its hard imagining anything scarier than being on this guys bad side.

What Your Life Like - Beanie Sigel

8. Big Pun, Inspectah Deck, & Prodigy- Tres Leches (Triboro Trilogy)

Three all-time gully rappers and the RZA on top of his game makes for a well-crafted, gully masterpeice. The use of the Rakim sample is also incredibly gully.



7. Raekwon- Incarcerated Scarfaces

The gulliest song off of one of the gulliest albums is just about all I have to say for this one.



6. M.O.P.- Ante Up


The hype beat and lyrics about mugging people make this the gulliest of M.O.P. songs.



5. Mobb Deep- G.O.D. Pt. III

This beat is easily one of the all-time gulliest and this was back when P and Havoc dropped those classic, hardcore rhymes. Listen to this song and tell me you don't want to punch someone in the face.



4. Notorious B.I.G. & Eminem- Dead Wrong

This beat is kinda gully but BIG's lyrics are just plain wrong. A lot of dead guys on this list, which makes sense I guess.



3. Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg- Deep Cover


The first (right?) of many gully collabs between these two and the gulliest. That beat remains the gulliest of Dre's career after like 20 years.

Deep Cover - Dr. Dre/Snoop Doggy Dogg

2. Mobb Deep- Shook Ones Pt. II

By now everyone knows that Mobb Deep were really not all that tough, but musically and lyrically this is quintessentially gully.



1. N.W.A.- Straight Outta Compton

As a song, "Shook Ones" may be gullier than this, but just the fact that this song actually fucking scared people makes this the winner. That is also not to take away from the gully nature of the song, which had stood the test of time. A timeless, gully masterpeice. Enjoy!
