    Word. I was gonna mention this one. Good call. This shit is just depressing. The track skydiver off of that album is pretty heavy too, although its more about deception and betrayal from the opposite sex than straight-up being crushed emotionally. Skydiver is a banger, and a hatter smasher.

    biggie - me and my bitch

    gangstarr - lovesick

    big daddy kane - the day you're mine

    yeah, scars and memories is one of the heaviest tracks ever. easily one of my favourite songs of the last 10 years.

    Pharcyde - Otha Fish

    This song is the only thing that kept me sane after my first and only major breakup.

    In "Fuck Compton" when Tim Dog says "All that gang shit's for
    DUMB MOTHERFUCKERS!" ... he sounds genuinely upset ...

    Thanks for popping this post back up. I spent 2 days listening to the songs posted up here and heard a lot of good stuff. I was also listening to Gutterfly a lot at the same time.

    Thanks to everyone who posted stuff. Thanks for those who sent me mixes and who offered to but never got it together.

    I will co-sign this. Even without words, this whole album makes me happy and sad every time I hear it. It is a bit of an emotional rollercoaster, soft and heavy.
    I can listen to it when Im in a good mood and feeling like touching some memories or I can listen to it when I'm bummed and need to put things perspective. I still cry during 'Dont Cry'
