Any suggestions? I mostly listen to Hip Hop so any songs would help

Why don't you just use one of the hip hop songs that you're already familiar with? It's usually a good idea to use a song you know, rather than try someone else's "reference" song from  a genre that may be foreign to you.
 
That said, two songs that I use are Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" and Holly Cole's "Temptation". Any of Rush's drum solos are also excellent.

Hmm i guess...
 
But since im at it, what is the mid and treble sound in music?

google "Gaudi, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan: Dub Qawwali" to me this is the best album for testing low frequency.

The Pack - I'm Shinin

Lil Jon - What U Gon Do
Body Head Bangerz - Can't Be Touched
Lil Wyte - Oxy Cotton (The version from the Doubt Me Now album)
T.I. - Top Back
Tyga - I'm On It
Young Jeezy - White Girl

^those kind of song only repeats the same kind of beat over and over again and you really cannot test the base respond under rapid base change scenario, a good track is where the base range changes rapidly and a good headphone is one that its diaphram can match that change and produce the sound desired.

 He said hip hop, so that's what I gave him.

The Beautiful South, "Your Father And I"

Any dubstep really. No other genre can replicate the deep sub bass in dubstep imo. Recommended producers to look at would be:
 
- Digital Mystikz
- Loefah
- Pinch
- Silkie
- Kode 9

you will NOT find a more bassy song than this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5MUrhsruJE

Datsik (dubstep) songs are very good for bass testing purposes.

That sounds like crap, especially since it's youtube, any reasonable bass = massive underlying screechy distortion. Also it's flat single-note bassline, which does not test bass at all.
 
A perfect bass-testing song would have a mix of various beats, basslines, and drums. Any suggestions?

How about the original speaker buster from 1990? Apparently many club speakers blew back then when this tune first dropped.
