Lana Del Rey - Pawn Shop Blues

Not hip-hop, but I love this song with a passion.  Honestly, Lana Del Rey’s first album was kind of disappointing.  I mean I liked it, but I know it could’ve have been much better.  There is one song on it though that definitely stands out, which is this one.  The first time I listened to Pawn Shop Blues I felt like tearing up. Her voice drips with such overwhelming emotion that your mind can’t help but drown in it.  It’s simply one of the most beautiful songs I know.

“‘Cause it’s nice to love and be loved But it’s better to know all you can know
