Standout Lyrics:
If this wasn't top 5, I really can't wait to see what is.
"The Way I Am" is the second single from The Marshal Mather LP. It was a much darker song than the lead single (which peaked much lower on the countdown). The song wasn't nearly as successful as the previous single, however.

I love "Work It" just as much, but "Get Ur Freak On" should have been Missy's representation in the top ten. I really think it's her best single ever. Timbaland's bonkers production and the way Missy's performance completely synergizes with it are utterly brilliant. It's a breathtaking, mind-bending masterpiece that remains just as striking over a decade after its release.
The fact that Kanye had the most songs on this countdown but none in the top ten...
get ur freak on is a really, really good song
probably the best song by a female rapper (so far)
maybe lauryn hill has a song in the top 10 that's better though
And although it seems heaven sent,
we ain't ready to see a black President, uhh.
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact...
the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks.
I really wish Tupac was still alive today. I wasn't expecting this at all to reach the top spot but I think this is one of the greatest rap songs of the 90s. It's really hard to rank all of them but Changes is definitely up there.
Two more of the ones on my list (both should've been top 10, though)
