Zion I is always good for inspirational music. Grouch from Living Legends too. I don't really like listening to Grouch (except for a few songs) -- its really preachy. He's a good MC tho, but it's like damn, I dont feel like getting lectured right now, dad.
I can go on forever with this shit b/c songs that are personal for the artist are inspiring to me .....The 3rd verse (pretty ugly) is the most inspiring verse for me on this jam.
First Degree The D.E. - Be Someone
UGK - Shattered Dreams
Common - Faithful
Plies - Co-defendant
Tha Dogg Pound - I don't like to dream about gettin paid
Suga Free - Boyfriend
2Pac - Young Niggaz
Swartzaniggaz - Hungry Man's Syndrome
