Rap Songs To Play At Your Wedding – Congratulations, Pierzy

Love is in the air. Can you feel it? Yeah, I know we’re supposed to be hip-hop 100% and, for the most part, our music isn’t very loving. Still, no matter how much of a thug you think you are, nobody is beyond love. Y’all can front if you want, but there is at least one girl out there that got your heart and made you do things you never thought you would. This is why I want to dedicate today’s blog to the homie and regular commenter Pierzy, because he found love and tomorrow he's getting married.

Applaud that man, that’s a major step.

Now, like many of you, I’ve never met Pierzy, I just know him from the XXLMag.com comment section and now Twitter. But still, dude is XXL fam (sometimes y’all names come up in meetings—don't sleep we’re reading the comments, so we see what you’re saying even if we don't always holla back).

So, in honor of the homie’s wedding tomorrow, I thought I’d put together a play list and suggest some hip-hop songs that Mr. and Mrs. Pierzy can play at their wedding tomorrow.

Cheers! —Rob Markman

FIRST DANCE SUGGESTIONS
Nothing is more memorable as that first dance as husband and wife. Here are a few rap songs that don’t contain the words “bitch” or “hoe.”

Common “The Light”
I’m not sure if there's a more appropriate rap song for getting hitched. “You know I ain’t the type to walk around with matching shirts/But relationships are effort I will match your work.” That’s real talk. Plus, there aren’t any curses in this song, so it safe to play around kids and old folks. Word to O-Dog!

LL Cool J “I Need Love”
“I Need Love” is the original hip-hop love song. The truth is LL changed the game when he dropped this one and gave MCs a blueprint to express their emotions without completely being on some sucka shit. Just think about how many rappers swagger jacked the, “When I’m alone in my room, sometimes I stare at the wall” line.

THE GROUP DANCE SUGGESTIONS
Let’s be real, The Electric Slide is old and the Cha Cha Slide is just corny. Here are a few options to really get your reception started on the right foot.

Soulja Boy “Crank That”
Sure, our friend Pierzy is a lover of lyrics, but his favorite MCs (Eminem, Slaughterhouse, Skyzoo) didn’t think enough of him to make-up a dance. Lucky for him Soulja Boy got his back. Yooooooooougggh!!

F.L.Y. “Swag Surfing”
I know it’s kinda silly for us mature hip-hop fans to do these kiddie dances, but Pierzy shouldn’t be embarrassed about swag surfing at his wedding because all three members of F.L.Y. look about 40 years old anyway. Check the video.

Cali Swag District “Teach Me How to Dougie”
I don’t know at what point all these young'ns became hip to Doug E. Fresh, but as bad as the song is, it’s still better than the Cha Cha Slide. Lesser of two evils my friends.

THE 50 CENT SET (IT'S SO SEDUCTIVE)
Prior to 2009, playing Curtis Jackson at your wedding would have been deemed completely inappropriate but after Dan Finnerty & The Dan Band played “Candy Shop” in The Hangover Fif gets a pass.

50 Cent “Candy Shop (Dan Finnerty Hangover Version)”
Check the clip below. ‘Nuff Said.
