"Baby Got Back" Sir Mix A Lot "Ice Ice Baby" Vanilla Ice "U Can't Touch This" Hammer Whether you like them or not, it's these, with Vanilla probably being #1. Ice Ice Baby was huge at the time, but it seems like in the long term that song did more for "Under Pressure" than it did for Ice. My Legacy

I knew of the song, but I'd never heard it. wow, i am truly surprised. where do you live? Finland... and I'm 20 years old  It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Public Enemy's Don't Believe The Hype
Public Enemy's 911 Is A Joke De La Soul's Me Myself & I Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five's The Message Sugarhill Gang's Rapper's Delight The Beastie Boys' Fight for Your Right to Party Blondie's Rapture Paris' The Devil Made Me Do It Afrika Bambaataa's Planet Rock Rapper's Delight and The Message defined hiphop, as did PE's Don't Believe The Hype; they turned rap into what it would be for the next few years. When commercialism and silly rap (the bling bling and Puff Daddy) happened, I turned to old skoolers like Jurassic 5 and listen to Cinnie's kewl pointers, like J Dilla. |

DevotedPuppy said: My friend and I were discussing old (80s/90s) rap songs and listening to some 'vintage' LL and I was surprised that she had never heard I Need Love or Big Ole Butt which led to us trying to think about what would be the most famous/well-known rap song of all time.
She nominated:
Who am I? (What's My Name) by Snoop I nominated:
Rapper's Delight (Sugarhill Gang) Me So Horny (2 Live Crew) Fight for Your Right to Party (Beasties) Gangsta Glam <--kidding!!! What do you think? I'm not talking about a rap song that was then resampled song, or most weeks at #1, I mean a rap song that most people would recognize and know the chorus or most words to even if they don't listen to a lot of rap or aren't from the US. I kind of think it should be an "original" rap song--one that doesn't really sample older stuff (ie no Puffy/PDiddy, etc.) but make an argument for your choice if you disagree... Let the voting begin!  i was going to say rapper's delight and the message. As much as I think these songs are unoriginal crap, I would also have to say you can't touch this, ice ice baby and bust a move | |
