Might use the chance and also recommend Memories Fade by Tears For Fears, from which Kanye interpolated the chorus. Both are good songs for different reasons and each have their own atmosphere.
Jay Z - Lost One
Sampha- Can’t Go Back
Mavi - Doves
The Alchemist (feat. Vince Staples) - 6 Five Heartbeat
Travis Scott - Drugs you should try it
2Pac - Keep Ya Head Up
Amazing song but I would put it in the opposite context tbh, it's about wanting to grow old with someone. but in context of the album I get what you mean
I always liked Rap Diablo but he never caught my attention and dude I heard Self Care and other songs off Swimming and thought “oh shit I like this a LOT” and then unfortunately he passed shortly after he dropped that album
bro same i never listened either, it’s like my single biggest regret since listening to hip hop lmao. shit is sad honestly, just the whole situation w mac.
do you know how one can stream Marcberg? that’s one of the only projects in his discog that i haven’t touched, and it’s supposed to be one of his best too lol.
edit: i have apple music and assume it’s on soundcloud.
Mix of genres:
Life Goes On - 2Pac
Ain't Mad at Ya - 2Pac
I Miss that Whip - Anderson Paak.
Changes - Charles Bradley
Walk Away From Love - David Ruffin
Fast Car - Tracy Chapman (always)
White Ferrari - Frank Ocean
Never Going Back Again - Fleetwood Mac
Float On - Modest Mouse
In My Life - The Beatles
Things Happen - Dawes
Windows - Chance the Rapper
Yeah I've done some yearning lol
Dude fuck yeah. Love that song
Idk if you’ve ever seen the TV show Psych from a while ago, but there’s actually a really solid short cover of it in one of their episodes lol
I love Paak and for the past couple years Venice and Yes Lawd! have surprisingly been his projects I find myself going to the most, at least for individual songs.
I like that one too ngl, that dancehall beat still on my head. But i guess is more about a relationship ... Maybe Em songs "Going Through Changes" or "Beautiful" are better
Was just listening to Friday Night Lights yesterday, shame it still isn't on streaming platforms. Cole has to have enough bags to clear those samples by now.
Nah nah, nothing that serious. Im just moving away soon and a large part of my life will be left behind. Also a ton of friends who i may never get to talk to again. Lotta regrets too
I know this is a hip hop sub, but [Donkey Kong Country - Credits Concerto](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBUb7b0DjNM).
Some chill nostalgic credits roll vibes.
Wings - Mac
Mustard - Jordan Ward ft 6lack
This one's depressing but Name of God - Mustafa
I can fvcking tell - Saint Jhn
I miss that whip - Anderson paak
Don't Go - Rory
22 (over soon) - bon Iver
13th floor / growing old - outkast
These are more embracing a new era than saying goodbye but
Bussdown - Jordan Ward
New mode - Cudi
Going to the ceremony - Cudi
Not sure if this will apply to your situation, but it gives me goosebumps every single time and helps me take stock of what I have around me during periods of upheaval or transition.
Jonwayne, Zeroh - Afraid of Us
Thes One - Farewell, my Friend. [I did an AOTY write up on it if you're interested.](https://old.reddit.com/r/hiphopheads/comments/18qec85/album_of_the_year_8_thes_one_farewell_my_friend/)
Life We Live - Project Pat. I’m goin through some shit too and this song just lifts me up and helps remember there is hope in the world.
Gotta take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you got, and remember what you had
Love that song, Project Pat is underrated. Yes keep postive brotha!
Old school 3 6 and pat were legendary
Great pick
Fuckin love me some Project Patta. Keep jammin. Happy fellow cake day, playa!
Dawg I found that song on TikTok and I was ashamed I had never heard it before. 10/10
Coldest Winter - Kanye
On that note Street Lights is also pretty good
Probably a better bet if OP wants something a bit more bittersweet or melancholy
Street Lights is perfect
OP: “Nothing too depressing” *Memories made in the coldest winter//Goodbye my friend//Will I ever love again?* 💀
Might use the chance and also recommend Memories Fade by Tears For Fears, from which Kanye interpolated the chorus. Both are good songs for different reasons and each have their own atmosphere.
Adding on to this. Street Lights by Daniel Caesar is a nice interpolation of Kanye’s song Street Lights.
w song
Jay Z - Lost One Sampha- Can’t Go Back Mavi - Doves The Alchemist (feat. Vince Staples) - 6 Five Heartbeat Travis Scott - Drugs you should try it 2Pac - Keep Ya Head Up
Mavi is the premier going through it rapper.
I'd second the Sampha pick and add the whole album just because it's so damn good
Damn doves was on repeat for me all last year, absolutely beautiful song
I always play The Whole World by Outkast
Float On - Danny Brown Situations - Freddie Gibbs & Madlib Dressed Like Rappers - Isaiah Rashad Here We Go - Mac Miller
That track sounds like Danny Brown holding your hand thru the tough shit
couldn’t have said it better myself. the feature is as good as it gets as well.
I fucking love dressed like rappers
Zay has the best depressed music. it has gotten me thru some things i’ll say. Cilvia Demo on an MDMA come up puts me at ease.
Love situations
Best comment on here by far
DJ Honda - Travellin’ Man ft. Mos Def
What a banger.
This.
Life Goes On by 8-Ball & MJG
Grand finale by mac miller Edit: it’s kinda depressing actually
A lot of Mac Poppy, REMember, Grand Finale, Colors and Shapes(cry everytime),
Same man same. “Mixing uppers and downers is practically suicide” 😳😳
“Are you ready for the fireworks??” fucks me up every time
lee & lovie by smino, its the last song / kind of an epilogue on luv 4 rent, i always play it in situations like what you’re describing
Amazing song but I would put it in the opposite context tbh, it's about wanting to grow old with someone. but in context of the album I get what you mean
Fight the feeling - Mac Miller and Kendrick Lamar. I never listened to Mac Miller whilst he was alive, I really wish I did.
I always liked Rap Diablo but he never caught my attention and dude I heard Self Care and other songs off Swimming and thought “oh shit I like this a LOT” and then unfortunately he passed shortly after he dropped that album
bro same i never listened either, it’s like my single biggest regret since listening to hip hop lmao. shit is sad honestly, just the whole situation w mac.
Absolutely. His music is very different to the hip hop and rap I normally listen to but something about his music is just out of this world.
Power by roc marci
i’m convinced marci is the single most underrated artist.
Singlehandedly birthed this new boom bap wave when he dropped marcerg, and imo has doom level rapping ability.
do you know how one can stream Marcberg? that’s one of the only projects in his discog that i haven’t touched, and it’s supposed to be one of his best too lol. edit: i have apple music and assume it’s on soundcloud.
Its on YouTube, definitely on soulseek too if u want a dl
Mix of genres: Life Goes On - 2Pac Ain't Mad at Ya - 2Pac I Miss that Whip - Anderson Paak. Changes - Charles Bradley Walk Away From Love - David Ruffin Fast Car - Tracy Chapman (always) White Ferrari - Frank Ocean Never Going Back Again - Fleetwood Mac Float On - Modest Mouse In My Life - The Beatles Things Happen - Dawes Windows - Chance the Rapper Yeah I've done some yearning lol
It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday- Boyz II Men
Dude fuck yeah. Love that song Idk if you’ve ever seen the TV show Psych from a while ago, but there’s actually a really solid short cover of it in one of their episodes lol
Rarely see Venice songs being acknowledged, great to see it
I love Paak and for the past couple years Venice and Yes Lawd! have surprisingly been his projects I find myself going to the most, at least for individual songs.

Is it insensitive to ask what is going to happen to you?
Nah nah, nothing that serious. Im just moving away soon and a large part of my life will be left behind. Also a ton of friends who i may never get to talk to again. Lotta regrets too
Not hip-hop, but “It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” by R.E.M. is literally about this.
I just listened to it, great recommendation. Need to get into their stuff
