A love song in Western rap
Hip-hop, the most popular genre in contemporary music.
It’s a genre that has been gaining popularity in Japan as well, but there aren’t many rappers who perform love songs.
Strictly speaking, there are rappers who do love songs, but underground rappers tend not to.
Overseas, even rappers active in the underground usually release at least one love song.
Because of that, there’s quite a range when it comes to love songs in hip-hop.
This time, we’ve picked out some hip-hop love songs from Western music.

Love songs in Western rap (21–30)
IncredibleFUTURE
It’s a song that says, “I’ve never been able to trust any woman until now, but you’re different.” True to Future’s reputation for “only rapping about what’s within three meters of him,” the lyrics are packed with familiar, everyday things that make it feel relatable.
The line “Let’s do some hot yoga” gives the track a distinctive flavor.
Hey Luv (Anything)Mobb Deep
It’s “Hey Luv (Anything)” by the New York rap duo Mobb Deep.
The slightly dark tone enhances that East Coast hip-hop vibe.
It portrays a sad man who seems to be trying to buy love, saying, “I’ve got everything you want.”
Love Songs in Western Rap (31–40)
Jump Out The WindowBig Sean
A track by American rapper Big Sean.
Produced by Key Wane and Hey DJ, it samples Julianna Gianni’s 2001 track “I Fall Apart.” It was released as a single from the 2017 album “I Decided.”
LOYALTY.Kendrick Lamar ft. Rihanna
A smooth track that sings about pledging loyalty in both platonic and romantic relationships.
It’s a collaboration between American rapper Kendrick Lamar and singer Rihanna, sampling Bruno Mars’s 2016 track “24K Magic.”
Love LiesKhalid & Normani
Is it a song about “searching far and wide for love and still not finding it”? Khalid’s beautiful voice—he’s been getting a lot of attention lately—is emphasized to the fullest.
The title “Love Lies” is interesting because it can be interpreted in two ways: either “love tells lies” or “love lies (there),” meaning love is present.
LoveKendrick Lamar
Kendrick Lamar, a rapper who is undeniably praised as the best in the world right now.
Apparently, this song was written for his girlfriend, whom he’s been with since high school.
As the line “love me” appears repeatedly, it’s a very simple song, but I think that simplicity makes the feelings all the more heartfelt.
Super BassNicki Minaj
A playful love song released in 2011 by American rapper Nicki Minaj.
It was certified platinum in five countries and became one of the most streamed tracks on streaming services in the United States in 2011.
