2 things:
I'll never understand why Kim did all that surgery.
@ The Lox. Ppl actually listen to The Lox here lol
I actually love this set! I'm most excited that the Fugees made it, but I really like all these songs (even if some of them perhaps shouldn't be this high on the countdown).

It's because 90% of ATRL just know Kanye West, Jay-Z just look at the list, a hip hop board or people who knows what hip hop really is, would laugh at us, but isn't this the sense of this thread whatever... keep it up madonnas!
*face palm* I swear this list is going in reverse order; it's just getting more and more the higher it goes. 212 and Hey Ya? Is this real life?
I can't wait to see what atrl has selected for the top ten.
I love Azealia, but, and Hey Ya is not a hip hop song. Not at ALL. The entire Love Below side of that album wasn't, tbh. Speakerboxx was the Hip Hop side.

There's one in this next set that might have some of you thinking its questionable (I don't think it is), but other than that you'll see lots of good stuff!
"The World is Yours" is the final song from Illmatic to make this list. It was the third single from the album. The song is heavily sampled, even used in Jay-Z's "Dead Presidents" (which many thought was the start of their infamous feud).

"The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five is often considered one of the most influential Hip-Hop songs of all time. It was the first relevant Hip-Hop song to contain social commentary. It influenced many different politically charged Hip-Hop acts of the 80s and 90s.

"The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" was the lead single from Supa Dupa Fly and Missy Elliott's breakthrough single. It sampled Ann Peebles' "I Can't Stand the Rain." The video, directed by Hype Williams featured Missy Elliott in a trash bag.

Beep-beep, who got the keys to the Jeep?
Vrrrrrrrrooooom!
"Mo Money Mo Problems" was the second single off of the Notorious B.I.G.'s second album, Life After Death. It was a posthumous #1. The song samples Diana Ross's "I'm Coming Out."

"Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio is one of the biggest Hip-Hop songs of all time. It topped the charts in many countries. The song is a rework of a Stevie Wonder song, "Pastime Paradise."

"Tha Crossroads" is Bone Thugs & Harmony's highest selling single, and one of their most popular songs. The song is dedicated to their mentor and deceased rapper Eazy-E.
"Hail Mary" is a song from 2Pac's final album, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. It has been used in tributes and covered by many rappers. It sold a lot.

Amazing song. I think it didn't make the cut in my list tho

Illmatic truly deserves all it's slots on the countdown. I'm still pressed that One Love didn't make it tho.
