"Dead Presidents" has two versions, however I counted all versions as one song. Both of them differ greatly in lyrics but have the same beat. Both versions have gotten critical acclaim too.

"Life's a Bitch" is another track from Illmatic on this list. It was the 4th single. The song features rapper AZ.

"NY State of Mind" is the second track from Illmatic in a row out. It is the first track on the album, and sets the desolate and grimy tone of the entire album.

"All Falls Down" is one of the singles off of Kanye's first album, The College Dropout. The song was Kanye's first top 10, and was nominated at the Grammy's.

"Walk this Way" is a mashup/collaboration/cover between Run DMC and Aerosmith. It was one of the very first "Rock/Rap" collaborations, and also one the first top five hits for Hip-Hop. |
OMG the 2 best songs on Illmatic.
Life's a B!tch was supposed to be my #1, but i chucked it cuz i thought it had no chance of showing up in the countdown.
Him and AZ's flow, the chill groovy beat, the instrumental solo at the end
They don't do that no mo'.
I voted for NY State of Mind though. A classic.
Throw Jadakiss or at least Q-Tip a bone 
Big fan of Spike Jonze's music videos, and when I got his anthology I saw the video for "Drop," which is phenomenal, and the beat is (to quote Christina Aguilera on The Voice last season) doooooope...
