Successful ’09 (Track 31 of 31HHT)
I can’t deny that Drake took the rap game by storm when he came out with his mixtape So Far Gone. One of my favorite songs on that mixtape was Successful featuring Trey Songs. I figures this track would be great to cap off my Hip-hop Tribute.

Queens Get the Money ’08 (Track 30 of 31HHT)
Nas didn’t get much notoriety for his last album besides the fact that he wanted to call it “Nigger” (which he didn’t). Nonetheless it still was a hot album. The intro track Queens Get The Money sets the tone nicely for the rest of the tracks on the album. I think it fits well in my Hip-hop Tribute.
On my version of this song I get a bit slef reflective again. Taking a look inside and this is what came out.

International Players Anthem ’07 (Track 29 of 31HHT)
I remember when the track International Players Anthem by UGK and Andre 3000 came out. I was in Atlanta and it was the hottest thing out. I actually did another song to this beat but it’s so hot I figured I’ll revisit it for my Hip-hop Tribute.

Kick Push ’06 (Track 28 of 31HHT)
Kick push was Lupe Fiasco’s first song with commercial success. The first time I heard it I became an instant fan. The beat is very majestic so my flow on this track is as such. Check it out.

Best Rapper Alive ’05 (Track 27 of 31HHT)
I have to give props to Lil’ Wayne on my Hip-hop Tribute. He made a bold statement with the song Best Rapper Alive, making a claim to the thrown of rap. Since then he been consistently banging out hits. I take this track and do something a little creative with it. Let me know if y’all catch it.

Jesus Walks ’04 (Track 26 of 31HHT)
Kanye West definitely changed the game with track Jesus Walks. It was the first (that I know of) widely accepted gospel rap song (yes gospel rap). When I got a hold of the beat for my Hip-hop Tribute I did my own version of rap gospel. Check it out.

Lucifer ’03 (Track 25 of 31HHT)
The next instrumental track I use on my Hip-hop Tribute is Jay-z’s Lucifer. The beat on this track is sick. When it came out in ’03 it was one of my favorite tracks on the Black Album. I had a lot of fun writing and recording this track. Take a listen.

Wanksta ’02 (Track 24 of 31HHT)
The next track I use on my Hip-hop Tribute is 50 Cent’s Wanksta. When this track came out it was hot to death. This was probably the first 50 Cent track that had commercial success. 50 Cent was known for taking other people’s tracks and adding his flavor to it. I figure why not do the same to one of his tracks. Enjoy.

Take Over ’01 (Track 23 of 31HHT)
The next track I rhyme over in my Hip-hop Tribute is Jay-z’s Takeover. The original track is historic because it was a response to Nas and other rappers who were beefing with Jay at the time. In my version, I switch it up a little to have some fun with it. Check it out.
