Essential Rap-Reggae

Alright, what are the big tunes in this area?I don't want no Born Jamericans (or, if you have to, point me in the direction of their good songs). I am down with dudes who do one reggae influenced song. It doesn't have to be their whole gimmick. I always appreciated when KRS got down like that, and of course that smif n wesson track. That shyne with barrington levy is nice too. And the fu schnickens 'ring the alarm'.

    You want patois over hip hop beats? or rap over Bob samples?

    Either, I guess. I know there are plenty of songs that you hear and you know immediately they are on some reggae.

    PRT, I should have been on that. I'll have to dig out the tape. It's been years.

    I always liked PRT, but I liked New World Order the best out of all of their albums after a while.

    This thread made me pull out of bunch of reggae/hiphop stuff,
    things I used to play out alot, when I did that sort of thing.
    Some are hip-hop with reggae samples, some are reggae artists
    over hip-hop tracks and vice versa.

    Here goes:

    Mike Zoot featuring Labba-Spread Love and Spread Love Remix (Samples Johnny Osbourne's Truths and Rights!)
    Fugees- Fu-Gee-La (Sly and Robbie Mix)-Makes chicks go nuts!
    Dilated Peoples-No Retreat (Kutmaster Kurt Remix)
    Buju Banton-Champion Remix (Cube's-You Know How We Do It beat)
    Sound Bwoys Revenge Buds Label Megamix track
    Lifesavas-Fever
    Bounty Killer and Jeru-Suicide Murder (over Raekwon and Blahzay Blahzay)
    George Nooks and Lupa-Real Man (Bonita Applebum beat)
    Beenie Man-Slam (I Got It Made Beat)-Makes Everybody Go Nuts!
    Pacewon feat. Dj Revolution-Any Champion (Uses Barrington Levy's "Black Roses"!)
    Black Star-Definition (hate all you want this track still kills!)
    Tiger Ranks-Party Wit Me (over Eminem's "My Name Is")
    Kardinal Offishal-'Ol Time Killin FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!
    J Live-Satisfied (Augustus Pablo Sample-one of Spinna's best)
    Cocoa Brovas and Blackheart Scavengers-Extreme Situation

    Bounty Killer-Eyes A Bleed (RZA Remix)
    Capleton-Wings of the Morning Remix w/Method Man (Symphony Beat!)
    two of my favorites...

    the latter is the first new 12" i ever bought... used to hear it at this pizza place on the jukebox alla time... still drop it to this day... lil jon produced this actually, as well as the Tour remix w/ the slick rick beat that got alot more airplay than this one... and one more w/ the barry white "gonna love you a little more" beat: "heathen reign"...

    the Eyes a Bleed remix is def one of my top 5 rza beats, sick as hell...

    don't forget the Super Cat "scalp dem" RZA remix w/ method man... shit is ridic...

    in terms of the bootleg ones, man there are million good ones... my favs are:

    limb by limb over a beat that samples the Rocky Theme horns...

    somone (sizzla?) over the Simon Says beat...

    Bounty Killer "celluar phone" over "shook ones pt 2"

    bounty killer "fire w/ fire" (ante up beat)
