I am a bit older and I remember when the original came out...however, I find Snoop´s version really funny and refreshing. Still love Slick Rick´s version too, though.

I can't stand Snoop's version to be honest.

Five times this song/rap....could listen to this for days....

It´s an acquired taste I guess.....hated it first, took me a while to get into it, now I love it.

And I really, really like this one for various reasons......

Tight beat...love it.

Rest in peace Guru...

I still love this song....some of my absolute favorite lyrics..sick sick beat by DJ Premier.

I listen to this one almost every day....in fact, I listen to a lot of Masta Ace songs on a regular.This song makes me feel so good....

This is another one of my all time favorites and is on my mp3 player, so I get to hear it at least 3 times a week.

From the days when gas was still relatively cheap...

1. Public Enemy -- Fight The Power

2. Eric B & Rakim -- Paid In Full

3. LL Cool J -- Rock The Bells

4. 2pac/Dr.Dre -- Cailifornia Love (Part 1 & 2)

5. OutKast -- Ms. Jackson

Whodini "Five Minute Of Funk"

DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince "Summertime"

2 Pac "I Get Around"

Snoop Dogg "Drop It Like It's Hot"

OutKAST "Ms. Jackson"

Our favorite "singles"? As in just the hits and not normal album tracks? If that's what you mean, then mine would be

1. Bone Thugs N Harmony: East 1999

2. Bone Thugs N Harmony: Days Of Our Livez

3. Spice 1: Strap On The Side

4. Crucial Conflict: Showdown

5. Brotha Lynch Hung: Rest In Piss

I'm positive on #1, but not 100% on my other 4.

It's What Are Your Top 5 Rap Singles, not "Make 20 different lists containing 5 songs each".

Hey, they are ALL my top 5 rap singles.

Because it changes so often.

I've noticed one thing about this thread. Either we're all over 30, or we just love 80s and 90s rap.
