Your favorite hooks on songs in recent memory? (Back to the forum)

Many least recent songs i liked had good hooks that made the song beter automatically, because its like they say- a good hook can take away from shitty verses.

My faves so far;

“I’m not afraid (I’m not afraid)
To take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (everybody)
Come take my hand (come take my hand)
We’ll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just letting you know that, you’re not alone
Holla if you feel like you’ve been down the same road (same road)"
— Eminem (Not Afriad)

“It may not mean nothing to yall
But understand nothing was done for me
So I dont plan on stopping at all
I want this shit forever mine, ever mine, ever mine
Im shutting shit down at the mall
And telling every girl she the one for me
And I aint even planning to call
I want this shit forever mine, ever mine, ever mine, ever mine"
— Drake (Forever Ft. Lil Wayne, Kanye West & Eminem)

I bought a whole O to smoke
I’m riding high
My niggas with me, they down to ride
I got my change up, they looking like they surprised
Got niggas hatin' on me hard cause my paper right
Money from the flo' way up to the sky
Now they wanna know and they wonder why
I got my wings when I was young so I tend to fly
I put my chain on, they saying it’s homicide
And I’m killin' ‘em, it’s homicide
I’m killin’ ‘em, it’s homicide
I got my change up, they looking like they surprised
Niggas hatin’ on me hard cause my paper right
But I’m killin' ‘em, it’s homicide
I’m killin’ ‘em, it’s homicide
I got my wings when I was young so I tend to fly
I put my chain on, they saying it’s homicide
I’m killin’ ‘em

Wiz Khalifa-Homicide

The city — Game ft. Kendrick Lamar

“Recognize my life, ridicule my fight
Give me fuel for the fire burning when I yearn these lights
In the midst of the hieroglyphs my fingertips start to write
Get familiar with Cartwright
Cause I want that shot, I’m a raging bull when the needle drops
For the record, I'mma wreck it, even if my record don’t pop
I'mma tie your knot on a downtown building, let it tow behind me
Tell ‘em they can find me in the dark with the ghetto children look at my heart
Nigga fuck your feelings, this is me”

“Rack City” Tyga :

Rack city bitch Rack Rack city bitch [x3]
Ten ten ten twenties and them fifties bitch

legendary…

We Takin' Over — DJ Khaled, Akon, T.I.,Lil Wayne, Birdman, Fat Joe

If you want to, we can supply you
Got enough work to feed the whole town
They won’t shoot you unless you try to
Come around and try to stomp on our ground
‘Cause we takin’ over, one city at a time
Said we takin' over, one city at a time

^I love that Kendrick Hook. He practically threw a full verse on a hook, because he’s Kendrick Lamar and he’s a back MF and can pull stuff like that off.

“Nigga why you babysittin' only 2 or 3 shots?
I'mma show you how to turn it up a notch
First you get a swimming pool full of liquor, then you dive in it
Pool full of liquor, then you dive in it
I wave a few bottles, then I watch em all flock
All the girls wanna play Baywatch
I got a swimming pool full of liquor and they dive in it
Pool full of liquor I'mma dive in it.”

Said she want a photo
You already know though
You only live once that’s the motto nigga Yolo

I see a lot of Kendrick hooks being posted in this thread.

also I love this hook, lyrically, but you have to hear it to get the full experience:

I got, I got (Anime on the screen)
I got, I got (Pen in hand, scripting dreams)
I got, I got (Rich man said to me)
Just remember one thing you’ll never have time)

I listened to this while I was coming down on Shrooms and the hook felt amazing.

I’m on my ballin' each and every day

“Asian girls everywhere, ucla” gets stuck in my head whenever i see asian people now. and thats a lot

compton crip niggas aint nothin to fuck with…

“Human being to a mob

Alright, alright no church in the wild”

“wu tang clan aint nothing to fuck with”

“Its Nothin”

My mansion sit on 40 acres: who the neighbors?
Kobe Bryant from the Lakers: now that’s paper
Kobe Bryant from the Lakers: now that’s paper
Kobe Bryant from the Lakers: now that’s paper
My mansion sit on 40 acres: who the neighbors?
Kobe Bryant from the Lakers: now that’s paper
Kobe Bryant from the Lakers: now that’s paper
Kobe Bryant from the Lakers: now that’s paper

When the sun’s down
Nocturnal rainbows soar in the air so high
It may seem so that I can’t see
But the darkness provides the light for me
I don’t wanna be lonely
And the moon is my only homie
If there’s a higher power then show me
Instead of nocturnal rainbows
– Hopsin Nocturnal Rainbows

Yelawolf — Pop The Trunk

Think he’s playin? You better listen what he’s sayin punk Don’t make me go pop the trunk… on you He got an old Mossberg in the mossy oak duffle bag layin in the back of the donk boy Don’t make me go pop the trunk… on you

Big sean — Marvin Gaye n Chardonnay Ft. Roscoe Dash & Kanye West

Early in the morning
When she’s all alone
I’mma take my time
Do it how we want it
Just to set the mood, girl I bought some Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay
Just let the song play
The long way
The strong way
It’s our day
It’s our way
This was all inspired by a little Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay

Whoa, that’s a lot of green for a RapGenius forum. That’s like, groundbreaking for this site.

Anyway, I think my favorite hook has to be from Be Alone, by Childish Gambino.

I don’t wanna be alone
I don’t wanna be alone
I don’t wanna be alone
I don’t wanna be alone
I don’t wanna be alone
I don’t wanna be alone
‘Cause ya know, somewhere inside
I cannot find
The feeling I got from you
No, somewhere inside
I cannot find
The feeling I got from you, hoo

Or the classic hook from Bitches Ain’t Shit. I’m in such a The Chronic mood, goddamn.
