What are some essential rap songs that I need in my music library? I'm trying to build up my amount of rap music. Open to swearing, immoral stuff, etc.

"The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five is to rap as "Rock Around the Clock" is to rock 'n' roll.
If you really want to get into the roots of rap music, try to find some stuff by a '60s group called The Last Poets. Some of their songs I remember are "Mean Machine", "When the Revolution Comes", "Two Little Boys" and "Jones Comin' Down".

"Whats My Name?" - Snoop Dogg. Gotta have the classic '90s gangsta stuff. And the other classics "Baby Got Back" - Sir Mixalot and "Cant Touch This" - MC Hammer.
Anything by Chamillionaire is good too. "Turn it Up", "Ridin'", No "Snitchin'". All good songs.
Ludacris has some good tunes as well, but I cant think of any names at the moment. Same thing goes for Tupac.
If you dig political rap, you can check out Immortal Technique. Hes pretty good.
