Rappers have never been shy about comparing the streets they come from to war zones. And just as our brave soldiers in conflicts overseas suffer casualties, the streets have claimed plenty of lives. So today as Americans across the nation celebrate and mourn the lives of all our soldiers who died serving in the Armed Forces (Complex would also like to shout out all our soldiers still serving all around the world), we thought we'd count down our favorite hip-hop dedication songs to keep alive the memories of any soldiers losing their lives in any war goin' on outside. Here's our list of Hip-Hop's 25 Greatest Memorial Songs. R.I.P. to those who aren't with us. This one's for you.

It wasn't just Treach that was close with Pac. The whole group was. They recorded songs together that are unreleased. If you watch the video uptown anthem, you see Pac in the video.

You title this pour out some liquor, yet you leave out Thug Life's Pour Out A Little Liquor, a single that probably is more well known then most of the songs on this list.

Bone Thugs-n-Harmony are the Greatest. Pac's "Life Goes On" should have made the list.
