They really did. As far as rap songs you also got regulate, anything off the black panther soundtrack and shyt the entire Idlewild soundtrack which was basically Outkasts final album.

The og batman soundtracks are up there. Especially anything off the prince joint. Pure Funk.



Purple Rain also skipped my mind...also Parade the official soundtrack for Under The Cherry Moon
