(While you are reading this listen to this song) As a young age; I've been listening rock, as well a lot of his variations. I was never interested in Hip Hop or anything similar, till the moment I meet the underground hip hop. A sub-genre of hip hop with a different message as well the music more often accompanied with Jazz, Soul, Funk, and even Rock. Now I totally love this genre and to show my love, I decided to make a Top Ten of my favorite Hip Hop tracks. ENJOY!
