Most Original Rap Songs

There are a lot of rap songs out there that aren’t creative, they aren’t smart or interesting, they’re just catchy. Most of these songs have lyrics that either restate the same topic over and over again like money, cars, women, or how good the rapper is. But these songs I am about to show you are creative and fun to listen to, check em out.

Rewind by Nas

This is the song that inspired this post. Nas’ wordplay and creativity are CRAZY in this song. The basic idea is that he is telling a story of something that happened to him, but his lyrics are literally telling the story backwards. The idea is hard to grasp if you don’t listen to the song but once you do you won’t be disappointed.

Storytelling for a rapper in general is hard but to tell a story backwards is almost unimaginable. 

Here’s An Example:

“My nigga Jungle utters out somethin crazy like, “Go he there”
Sittin in back of this chair, we hittin the roach
The smoke goes back in the blunt, the blunt gets bigger in growth
Jungle unrolls it, put his weed back in the jar”

Rewind – Nas
Alphabet Aerobics by Blackalicious

I originally thought that Papoose was the father of this idea but was later informed that Blackalicious did it first. I hadn’t ever heard the song before but after hearing the first version of the Alphabetical Slaughter, I concluded that the original is better. Blackalicious goes through the entire alphabet rhyming together words that start with the same letter. In a sense, alliteration. The song is cool to listen to and you have to just imagine how hard it was to make this.

Dr. Carter by Lil Wayne

Love him or hate him this was a good idea for a track. He raps that he is a doctor who’s patients are various dying hip hop artists who he tries to revive to save hip hop. Lyrically, this song is without a doubt the best on Tha Carter III.
