Rap Songs That Get "Emotional"?

[Chrono]

Ethel Waters - Stormy Weather
but replace man with woman -- though i have learned a great deal from that heartbreak
::edit::
it's a 1933 rap from the cotton club

 

[manguino]

nice some really good ones that i fully cosine on, here are a few others that i remembered

Beanie Siegel - Change.mp3
Little Brother - Away.mp3

i'd post a scarface/geto boys song but i'm too lazy to rip them right now. oh and jdilla's "donuts" gets it done without even saying a single word

 

[Sincock]

Yeah Donuts is deep. I was listening to that last night and it really struck me how personal he gets; very moving.

Immortal Technique: "You Never Know" and "Dance With The Devil"

Ummm

Lil Wayne - I Miss My Dawgs -

UGK - One Day You're Here - Talks about his homie son dying in a house fire

Beans - Jay Z Where Have You Been- where there rapping about their dads on the Dynasty album.

Jay Z - Song Cry
Regrets

Nas - Dance from GodSon album

Bun B - (From the Trill album) where he chronicles the rise of UGK and what Pimp C meant to him - It was said that the song is one that they never listened - just too deep

PT Cruiser (Pastor Troy) - Vice Versa

T.I. - Still Ain't Forgave Myself from I'm Serious

Pac - Dear Mama -

Intelligent Hoodlum (Trag) - Gran Groove - about his grandma

i would say pac and ghost pretty much own this category ... them dudes def let all the emotions out on the track.... this is gonna sound funny, but master p is pretty emotional too ... i was a fan of alot of the earlier no limit stuff and he always put alot of emotion into his work even though his lyrics were wack.. but u could def feel his emotion on the track.

DMX is probably the king of this category - Dude says a prayer at the end of a lot of his shows and is sheddin tears and all that -

Pastor Troy is the definition of this as well.

Good call. I was gonna say that but I couldn't remember the name of that song he had where he was crying in the video. A'yo Kato:

 

[Benny BuKu]

Wu-Tang's ODB tribute.
Nas- Dance
BuKu- "Died in Your Arms" produced by Nomics.....hopefully it'll get mixed down soon and I'll share my feelings w/ ya'll.

oh and somebody mentioned Ghostface in Wu-Tang's "I Can't Go To Sleep", but I think RZA's verse is deeper....he's just so hard to understand that people leave his shit out.....peep:

[RZA]
I can't go to sleep, I can't shut my eyes
They shot the father at his mom's building seven times
They shot Malcolm in the chest front of his little seeds
Jesse watched, as they shot King on the balcony
Exported Marcus, Garvey cause he tried to spark us
with the knowledge of ourselves, and our forefathers
Ohh Jacqueline you heard the rifle shots cracklin
Her husband head in her hair, you tried to put it back in
AMERICA'S WATCHIN, BLOOD STAINED INK BLOTCHES
MEDGAR TOOK ONE TO THE SKULL FOR INTERGRATING COLLEGE
WHAT'S THE SCIENCE? SOMEBODY? THIS IS TRICK KNOWLEDGE
THEY TRY TO KEEP US ENSLAVED AND STILL SCRAPE FOR DOLLARS
Walkin through Park Hill, drunk as a +FUCK+
Lookin around like, these +DEVILS+, I'm ready to break this world down
They got me trapped up in a metal gate, just stressed out with hate
And just, give me no time to relax, and use my mind to meditate
What should I do? Grab a blunt or a brew?
Grab a two-two and run out there AND PUT THIS FUCKIN VIOLENCE IN YOU?
I can't go to sleep, I can't shut 'em son.. I..

[Isaac Hayes - overlapping RZA at the end]
Don't let the game make you lose your head
You should be callin the shots instead
The power is in your hands..
Stop all this cryin, and be a man
