Hip-hop love songs. Love songs told by rappers (21–30)
And I Love You SoAK-69
AK-69’s classic “And I Love You So,” released in 2009.
When it comes to AK-69, many people probably think of him for his anthems and masculine tracks.
But his love songs are seriously amazing, too.
This song is his most popular love track, and it became a huge hit not only among his hardcore fans but also with the general public.
It stands out with lyrics that portray the straightforward love of a stoic man and an easy-to-listen-to beat.
Highly recommended if you want to see a non-thug side of AK-69!
Time (feat. Yo-Sea & KEIJU)DJ CHARI
A track by DJ CHARI that captivates with top-tier sound production that’s insanely cool from the intro.
The high-pitched rap is compelling and really gives the song its unique character.
It’s a track that feels like it could make your everyday life a bit more special.
Be sure to take in the message of the lyrics as you listen.
Don’t worry.hannya
Hannya, a former member of the delusional-running gang.
He’s also famous as the original final boss of Freestyle Dungeon.
While Hannya releases a wide range of tracks—from comedy-leaning songs to calls for addressing drug issues and even anthems—he’s also put out love songs.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is “Don’t Worry.” Hannya himself says it’s “a song dedicated to my favorite hostess,” but knowing how shy he is, I’m pretty sure he’s actually singing it to his wife (lol).
Magic Hour feat. Pushim (prod. by Muro)Anarchy
ANARCHY, the legendary rapper from Kyoto.
He remains hugely popular among many heads as a real, street-savvy MC.
While ANARCHY often focuses on the theme of rising from the bottom, he’s actually released love songs as well.
One of them is “Magic Hour feat.
Pushim (prod.
by Muro).” The track blends elements of jazz and neo-soul, creating a stylish vibe.
Pushim’s top-tier vocals are also a highlight!
Your LoveNicki Minaj
A track released as a digital download by Nicki Minaj in 2010.
It became a hit in the United States, Canada, Australia, and various European countries.
It samples Annie Lennox’s 1995 track “No More ‘I Love You’s’.”
Do For Love (feat. Eric Williams)2Pac
Here is “Do For Love (feat.
Eric Williams),” a track by 2Pac—still spoken of today as a legendary rapper—featuring Eric Williams, a former member of Blackstreet.
As one of 2Pac’s few love songs, it remains a highly popular work even now.
Love The Way You Lie ft. RihannaEminem
From the pinnacle of being a white rapper to the pinnacle of musicianship, Eminem’s unstoppable momentum continues in this worldwide, larger-than-life track with songstress Rihanna.
It opens with the chorus, then launches into the first verse with a hysterical spit from a confused Eminem, expressing the dilemma of being unable to act normal in a painful relationship.
Rihanna’s hook—singing that she’ll accept your lies—radiates compassion, creating a thrilling contrast with the intense rap parts.
A truly outstanding song.
