100 hip hop singles with NO HOOKS

Here's how this thread words
• Post only hip-hop songs COMMERCIALLY RELEASED AS SINGLES
• A reocurring four-bar break where a DJ cuts or there's just music (like OC's "Times Up" or Fresh Prince's "Parents Just Dont Understand" or LL's "Rock The Bells") counts as a hook and is not eligible. This is for songs that have NOTHING BUT RAPPING ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
• In the pre Def Jam era, like every song was like this, so lets use, say, anything in 1987 or after as the cut off point

1. Redman ft K-Solo - "It's Like That (My Big Brother)"
2. Freeway - "What We Do"
3. Smoothe The Hustler ft. Trigga Tha Gambla - "Broken Language"
4. Wu-Tang Clan - "Triumph"
5. Lil Wayne - "6 ft. 7 foot"

good thread idea

6. that shitty new nas song everyone's already forgotten about

7. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MF_Doom_discography#Singles

8. Wu-Tang Clan - Protect Ya Neck (The Jump Off)

9. rick ross - mafia music

don't really feel like "What We Do" and "6 Foot 7 Foot" should count, everyone thinks of the title lyric in the vocal sample as the 'hook' even if it's woven into the verses and not treated as a section of the song unto itself. let those in and you gotta let in "Oh Boy" and a thousand other songs. but hey it's your thread.

What about "Keep It Thoro"? I know he repeats the title a couple of times but i can't decide if it counts as a hook or not

you can't buy this "single" on iTunes, fwiw

i guess technically it should be hip hop singles with no CHORUSES, but i wanted to get rid of stuff like "Watch For The Hook" where the "chorus" or whatever is three times at the end of the song

I would count "Oh Boy" for the purposes of this thread but really doubt that means "a thousand other songs" http://i.imgur.com/zi7hd.gif

10. kool g rap and dj polo - road to the riches
11. compton's most wanted - def wish 2

"Road to the riches" has DJ breaks

def wish 2 has breaks between verses too

Ice Cube- My Summer Vacation

idk, i can't even discern them

7. Soujla Boy Tell Em's "Turn My Swag On"

8. Canibus' "Second Round K.O."

we're well on our way to 100!

wait, how does "turn my swag on" not have a hook?

I think that was a joke based around the fact that "Turn My Swag On" is basically all hook

oh

All hook and no "rapping" has to account for something, right? It's the anti-rapper's anthem.

"Second Round KO" has breaks in between verses

my summer vacation wasnt a single and has breaks. Renumbering

6. Wu-Tang Clan - Protect Ya Neck (The Jump Off)
7. rick ross - mafia music

8. Cam'ron - Oh Boy

I don't know where Da Band's "Bad Boy This, Bad Boy That" falls in here but it has a brief refrain at the end of each verse that the next MC basically raps the beginning of their verse over, so it feels more like a repeating ad lib than a chorus, which I love

9. Paster Troy - Vice Versa
10. Prodigy - Keep It Thoro

Damn, Keep it Thoro already mentioned.

i like hooks

10. Dj Quik & Kurupt - 9 Times Outta Ten

Yeah, this isn't really working out is it

I can sing the hook of 9 Times Out Of 10 without even cuing it up

where the hook/intro ends & verse begins is kind of ambiguous at least the first time

at least the first time

p much the giveaway that it don't count, my friend flopson

NOTHING COUNTS, NOTHING~!!--CANT YOU SEE THAT?!!

We found 9 songs! If we can get a CD-R's worth, I consider this thread a success

RIP dave cool :(

I think this counts..
