Well NWA is considered a pioneer in taking rap into a whole new direction.

IMO, NWA, Pac and Biggie may have rapped about money and hoes, but they did it in a completely different way than it is now. Out of all of them Pac had the deepest, most "true to life" lyrics.

But, I'm sick of rap now.

These are prob my favorite three rap songs with chill/calm beats and smooth raps.
