Just a cursory glance at this list suggests that any list that places 'Rebel Without A Pause' at #69 and 'Lodi Dodi' at #99 behind such drivel as 'Bust A Move' is no real list at all. | |

That list is so suspect it aint even funny. 1st off, how can you have Lauryn Hill with non rap songs on there? Then how can you have Badu AT ALL? And then how did Mary J. make it? Then, where's X-Clan? That list is pretty suspect. Gets no luv from me. Living to die and I'll die to live again - 360 degrees - comprehend | |

I'm sorry, but Gimme a damn break! First of all Hey Ya is a great song, but hip hop? No. We can debate it, but that's a pop song. And La Di Da Di (they misspelled it with the Snoop spelling) should be at #1 or at the very least in the top 5. #99? Gimme a break. | |

14. Cop Killa - Ice T They really screw up on this one. THIS is a heavy metal song by Body Count (Ice-T was the band leader for one album). It's not hip-hop or rap! | |

How are you gonna mention Eric B. and Rakim without having Microphone Fiend That is his hardest track ever. And What about It Takes Two by Rob Base & D.J, Easy Rock! You can put that joint on at a party and everyone from 13 to 50 will be dancing, I know cause I just deejayed a flipping college graduation party with about 100 folks of different age two weeks ago and played that song because I got tired of people asking me for Promiscuous Girl and Snap Ya fingers. (I played it between the two afforementioned songs and guess which one had the most people on the dance floor, Gee I wonder Why!) Carpenters bend wood, fletchers bend arrows, wise men fashion themselves.

It Takes Two is a hip-hop classic on a faster tempo than Promiscuous Girl. That's why. You can also use LL Cool J's Rock Tha Bells for any party too. | |

The fact that Rakim is not even in the top 10 is a joke...Where's "Paid In Full"..Where's "Microphone Fiend,"? Hell "Eric B For President" is really low...I mean, come the fuck on??? | |
