when i was on high school, everyone would turn on thier best Ice Cube impression when TWAGD came on. I belove music can be magic and that song transports you to his neighborhood, on that day. Biggie dows the same thing in Juicy. And Paid in full was a masterpiece, first artists video ever on Yo! MTV Raps.

Can't really argue with your list here being I was around for the 2 of your top picks. I remember all of them and glad you picked the ones that spoke out about what they went through and told a story behind that song. Kids today should listen to the lyrics of the song and not just the beat. Sorry if I upset anyone but I love all music but listen for a meaning behind what they are singing.
