I Love My Midwest Classics

This playlist, "I Love My Midwest Classics," is a throwback journey through some of the most iconic tracks that have defined the Midwest hip-hop and rap scene. From the soul-searching rhymes of Kanye West's "All Falls Down" and "Jesus Walks" off "The College Dropout," to Common's contemplative "I Used to Love H.E.R." and the party anthems like Nelly's "Hot In Herre" and "E.I.," every track is a nod to the diverse talents emerging from the heartland of America. It doesn't stop there. The playlist takes a dive into the gritty tales and infectious hooks of D12's "Purple Pills," the streets' anthems of Twista, and the raw, unfiltered narratives of Eminem in tracks like "Lose Yourself" and "The Real Slim Shady." For those looking to reminisce or delve into the foundational sounds of Midwest rap, this playlist wraps up the essence of an era where beats were as heavy as the lyrics, and every artist had a unique story to tell. Whether it’s the introspective verses of Kid Cudi or the swift, sharp flows of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, these tracks remind us why the Midwest holds a special place in the hip-hop realm.
