Some get it right, some get it very, very wrong. The hip hop love song is a difficult creature. Lifelounge made a list of lovey-dovey slow jams that (hopefully) won't make you barf.

[Please note: there is a difference between a love song and sex song.]

Did we forget your favourite? Tell us.

LL Cool J 'I Need Love'

As if you wouldn't put out for retro LL.


Method Man and Mary J Blige 'All I Need'

Sampling Marvin Gaye will get you places (ie: into hearts).



Tupac 'Me And My Girlfriend'
Gangsta rappers have hearts too.


Jay-Z and Beyonce 'Bonnie and Clyde 03'

Homage to Tupac and Prince. Smooove.


The Roots and Erykah Badu 'You Got Me'
Oh, Erykah! Want to sing the chorus on our love song? No brainer.


Common 'I Used To Love H.E.R.'
Hip Hop Love Songs and Slow Jams Classix: Volume One.


The Pharcyde 'Passing Me By'
Bittersweet. Don't worry Fatlip!


Snoop Dogg and Pharrell 'Beautiful'
Non-fact: this song was written for groupie-pulling.


Eric B and Rakim 'Mahogany'

Granted, Rakim could say anything with that voice and it'd work.


De La Soul 'Eye Know'
Can't go wrong when sampling Otis Redding, Steely Dan and Sly. Saccharine.



Salt-n-Pepa 'Whatta Man'
"You so crazy, I think I wanna have your baby."
Big Boi 'Hustle Blood'

Put Jamie Foxx on a track and the ladies swoon.


Q-Tip 'Life Is Better'

A love song to his girl, and every hip hop icon ever.


A Tribe Called Quest 'Bonita Applebum'

"I'd like to kiss where some brothers won't."
