Question: Identify this hip-hop song please?

Does this hip-hop song ring a bell? It was produced in the last two years. It talked talked about either dead rappers, or famous rappers. The style of music was similar to those by K-OS or Common. Please hope me?

There's a song called "Dead Rappers" by Sudden Death, on an album called "Fatal Accident Zone"... But it's meant to be sarcastic and comedic... Is that what you were looking for, or did you mean something with more of a serious context?

Thanks amyms, it's a bit more serious, almost soulful.

Perhaps you're thinking of "Like Toy Soldiers" by Eminem (2004)... It gets its name from the Martika song of the same name, which it heavily samples... Eminem's version laments the violence and feuding between rappers and the video features images of Tupac, the Notorious B.I.G., and others.

Just a wild guess: Nas - "Where are they now?" Sounds very old school, thoug it's from his latest CD.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I didn't know there were so much songs about rap beefs. I managed to find it - Wyclef Jean's Industry.

The lyrics starts out like this -
"Imagine if Biggie and Pac never got shot
And they both still were rulers of hip hop"

Nevermind.

I'll just be over here, answering other questions after they've already been answered ...

I think there are probably 100 songs that fit your description. The Game's "Dreams" was all over the radio not too long ago; was that it?

If not, can you give us any more information about it? Maybe something in the lyrics?
