Wow! What a cool thread. I am a Blaxploitation fanatic. It's so hard to pick just 10 songs. However, here are some of my favorites.

The entire Superfly soundtrack! - Curtis Mayfield
Theme from Foxy Brown, Out There, Ain't that (Mellow Mellow) - Willie Hutch (Foxy Brown)
Brother's Gonna Work It Out - Willie Hutch (The Mack)
Ain't It Hell Up In Harlem, Easin In - Edwin Starr (Hell Up In Harlem)
King George, Shining Symbol, Coffy is the Color - Roy Ayers (Coffy)
Down and Out in New York City, The Boss, Make It Good to Yourself - James Brown (Black Caesar)
Across 110th Street - Bobby Womack (Across 110th Street)
Trouble Man, "T" Plays it Cool - Marvin Gaye (Trouble Man)
People Get Up and Drive Your Funky Soul - James Brown (Slaughter's Big Rip-off)

I don't think these are considered "blaxploitation," but they are from that period

A Piece of the Action - Mavis Staples (A Piece of the Action)
Make Yours a Happy Home, On and On, The Makings of You - Gladys Knight & the Pips (Claudine)
You Gotta Believe - Rose Royce/Pointer Sisters (Car Wash)

Ok, I'll stop here.
