it seems like every thread asking for reccomendations or a certain type of song always end up being "post what music you like regardless of whether it fits the criteria"
I know. this isnt supposed to be that type of thread trust me my man. Im not going to lie, from what has been posted, ive only been interested in adding TWO songs to the list. And they were songs ive previously heard but forgot about. I didnt want FIGHT MUSIC, SMOKING MUSIC, MUSIC ABOUT GIRLS, none of that... my intentions were very clear lol.
GRRRR, Is there a tutorial to post videos on here? It's different every forum I use. EDIT: NM, lol Anyway, I think this fits you criteria, OP. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIgYBx2HxP0]YouTube - "Braided Hair" music video from 1 Giant Leap[/ame]
This is definitely a song that inspires and one of my favorites. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzuJY0F01mM&feature=related]YouTube - Tupac Shakur featuring Nas - Thugz Mansion[/ame] This song always puts a smile on my face. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrG0qkJgPZk]YouTube - Feather - Nujabes[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-PiwMCMiSw]YouTube - Nieve & Cook - I Feel Free[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjqTiQhOgU8]YouTube - Nujabes - Lady Brown (ft.

Scatman John. Not a day goes by where one of his songs isn't able to keep my spirits up. His lyrics are so impacting. It's not your standard rap by any means...but just check him out. Start with his 'Scatman's World' album, it was his first mainstream release.
IMO, this is very inspirational and a must [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agdxwWuPcFw"]YouTube - Lupe Fiasco - Kick, Push (Lyrics & Download Link)[/ame]
Ok, lemme try this again... [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrqgU0Qlba0"]YouTube - Show Me featuring Pos from De La Soul[/ame] Jeez, GC really hates me sometimes, I dunno what's up with that.

Not to worry, my man, i actually read the OP and I got an assload of inspirational songs that get me smiling no matter how shitty of a day i have. Hip Hop is my passion and I'm more than happy to show you plenty of songs that lift you up.
