R&B Guru 2009-02-23 13:49:46 Total Posts: 2527 | 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 | |||

R&B Guru 2009-02-23 18:25:14 Total Posts: 2527 | 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 | |||

R&B Guru 2009-02-23 18:41:01 Total Posts: 2527 | 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. | |||

d0rk 2009-02-23 19:42:33 Total Posts: 359 | 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) | |||
Buddha 2009-02-23 19:50:41 Total Posts: 517 | 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 | |||

R&B Guru 2009-02-23 21:38:53 Total Posts: 2527 | 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. | |||
