Ghostface Killah (a.k.a. Mr. Bittersweet Nostalga): "Whip Me With A Strap"

A very different kind of song about a family member, but one of my favourites: "My Brother's A Basehead" by De La Soul


Suit, I hope you can still make it on the 18th....?

What about that Nas song he did with his Pop, Olu Dara? What's that called?

Also, all of the "Pop's Rap"s on Common's albums.

i dont think "mama said knock you out" is about his experience growing up or dealing with his parents... but it does have "mama" in the title... sooo maybe an honorable mention? same for the pharcyde joint...

what makes you think that pharcyde joint is not about experiences growing up? personally, the exchanges in ya mamma reminds me of many childhood moments.
