Well, when it comes to singing, I love TQ's voice.
TQ - When I Get Out is a nice one, Bye Bye Baby is good too.
Of course, the lyrics are never that solid but it's okay.

Other singing-esque songs I guess, I like

Common - The Light

On the soul side,

Ja Rule - Race Against Time
Tupac - Dear Mama
Nappy Roots - Sick and Tired
Nas - One Mic

I would consider TQ's singing. Common is just talking on beat.

The soul tracks though aren't about singing but more about the message/mood

LL cool J- "hey lover"
Bone Thugs- "tha crossroads"

P. Diddy ft. Keyisha Cole- "last night"

lpc, while TQ was a lead singer of an R&B group, I would definitely consider his solo stuff rap. He's just got a softee voice :).

Good call with Bone Thugs, I forgot about that track but I dig it.

LMFAO @ Snoop's song, but i admit its catchy.

T.I & Justin Timberlake - Dead & Gone
Nelly - One & Only & My Place w/ Jahiem (I would say his other song Dilemma, but there's something about it I don't like and I just don't know what it is)
Tupac - Dear Mama & Do For Love
Busta Rhymes - Gonna Be (maybe I like this cuz Janet is on the track)

Most of these don't classify as hip hop singing songs...lol

they're just rap songs with a guest R&B artist feature.

i thought we were talking about Rappers that were singing (attempting to)

Ja Rule - Mesmerize being an example of attempting to lol

Aye well it was singing/soul! You can have soul without being a singing song!

And Johnny, you're not a fan of a lot of these? Booo.

Most rap songs where the rapper sings suck so it's hard to make a list. Most rappers aren't GOOD singers.
