Rap songs you could fall asleep to

[v-unit]

Doesn't HAVE to be rap actually...Anyways I am having trouble sleeping again and I usually make a playlist to sleep on but I overplayed my songs already.

I have used:

Eminem- Hailies Song (Drums are kinda strong actually)

Eminem- If I Had
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI6bSRObnnE

Clipse- Nightmares
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAd-rj24rdQ

Clipse- Virginia
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEP_HRsDYhk

Drake- Winter Come
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBEaj_cHNy8

Jay-Z - Regrets
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3ifsQOFiPw

Better songs for sleeping (AKA Would like songs like these below)

Nas- Still Dreaming
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVN_X9cdLFY

and the GOAT sleeping song
The Game-Letter to the King Featuring Nas
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vjA7Mc0x4U

I have also become infamous for using various songs from Maroon 5 and Amy Winehouse.

Any Grouch, Eligh, or Grouch & Eligh album.

I was thinking of making a thread asking for instrumentals but I wasn't sure if I could get good responses for that. I should get the instrumentals of regular songs I guess though...Good idea.

man, those reflection eternal + juggaknots tracks just took me back to five years ago. emotions flooding back and sh*t. i wish talib still sounded like that (his tone is so coarse now). the juggaknots? one of my favourites. 'clear blue skies' was my soundtrack to a summer. i remember snoozing to that track on hot afternoons with my feet dangling into pools.

damn i feel old.

Some good stuff in this thread. playtetris I just listened to your tracks and had Juggaknots - Clear Blue Skies on repeat for the past 15 minutes FIENDING that track. I'm going to check out your tracks now RidonKs and everything else posted

one love (one what?)

[phoenix18]

Another recommendation: Songs with a lot strings in the background ease me to sleep too. I love a song with violins in it. Pianos/Harps too.

[playtetris]

juggaknots were fire back in the day. breeze brewin is one of my favourites of all time. one track he spits that 'clear blue skies' deep ish, the next he is KILLING the punchlines on a nasty track like this:

hah yea the juggaknots, of course. Clear blue skies is my ****. Saw them like 3 years back at the Trocadero in Philadelphia and they performed it. No one was there, though, I felt bad and the crowd was definitely not feeling them after they yelled "fukc the eagles." Great concert overall which featured Pharoahe Monch if i remember correctly.

It's 11 o'clock when you posted this brah, do you have a bedtime?

[thejumpa]

I can't fall asleep to any rap music. Maybe some old school Bone or something along the lines of that. Usually I'll throw on some R&B and just pass out. Come to think of it, it's 12:44 and I got **** to tomorrow.
