Best Hip Hop Hometown Anthems

Who you with?

'Brooklyn' by Yasiin Bey - Before Jay said the town went hard, Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def) repped the hardest. (Photo: Rawkus Records)
'Dirty South' by Goodie Mob - Not shying away from that classic southern style, "Dirty South" definitely captures the essence of rap from the south.  (Photo: LaFace Records)
'Empire State of Mind' by Jay Z Featuring Alicia Keys - To think that Jay didn't even feel the song at first is crazy. We're lucky he came to his senses and got A. Keys on the track for a certified classic. (Photo: Roc Nation/Atlantic Records)
'Homecoming' by Kanye West - As much as we'd like to hate him for being so darn arrogant, no one does it quite like Yeezus. As soon as you here the piano's first note, you know it's an epic song.
