Another oft-repeated song if I wanted a dramatic score while doing mundane shop finishing tasks:

Gotta get back to work. I'll get to the hip hop side of things when I get to it.

More than once, I played a version of this song that is extended to an hour long by repeating parts and looping:

Bending conduit, pulling and terminating wire, nailing and painting trim, plumbing, building shelves: didn't matter; just play On the Nature of Daylight on a loop, and tim flies by until I'm done.GrundleStiltzkin said:

Hip hop time. Goddamn, this was hard. FUCK IT, WE'LL DO IT LIVE!
2000, I was still on automatic insta-buy for anything Wu-Tang or solo work. There are at least a hundred songs from the early 2000s that would be worthy of my top 20 list, but it would make for a boring list. I will say this: Early on in my Wu-Tang appreciation, I was mostly into Method Man and ODB. They had a unique voice, and their solo work was great. With the benefit of hindsight, Ghostface Killah has the deepest collection of fucking amazing solo work. Supreme Clientele released in 2000, and I won't post anything from that album because their was so much top tier shit on it that I can't choose. For the post-millennial Ghostface injection, I'll go with this one:

Method Man's first album was by far his best, but damn if this track from Tical 0 isn't perfect:

Busta Rhymes. It took me a decade to realize that the longest sentence that's appeared in one of his songs and makes sense is probably three words. It's all gibberish, and I don't care at all. Greatest rap voice of all time. Once again, I like his earliest work the best. He still put out two amazing albums after 2000 and then another one that was pretty good. Let us never speak of anything Busta Rhymes did after It Ain't Safe No More again...
I'm gonna cheat. One song from each of his first two albums of the millennium:
