My favorite is Five Minutes Of Funk by Whodini. As far as Posse On Broadway goes, the 9 minute version is better.

"........do do do do do inspector gadget"

hey, I don't blame 'em for stealing that top tune.

Man, a lot of these acts I totally forgot about, LOL! I'm gonna nominate "Changes" by Tupac, brilliant song, good remake of the original, great lyrics, socially conscious rap when it was still alive.....

Thanks for reminding me; there was a time when I used to LOVE Rap.

If you take this as a piss take of hiphop, then it's quite clever. If only it was though huh?

I do actually enjoy this song though. I like the production aswell

It was on the maxi single, but it wasn't exactly 9 minutes, maybe 8 something. It used to get played on the radio.

OLD SCHOOL!

A highlight of one of the best albums I've ever heard.

None of the above compares to Wu-Tang Clan's 'C.R.E.A.M.'

Greatest Rap song hands down??

Easy.

Real easy........

People can have personal favorites,...but as far as influence on the industry and other artists??

This song COMPLETELY changed the game.

This was the first rap song that wasnt about partying, sex and dancing.

No other rap song comes close.

No it wasn't. There's several less known songs that wasn't about this. Even The Breaks by Kurtis Blow isn't about partying and it came out in 1980. The Message was 1982.

1978

Although there's people chanting "Party!" at the beginning of this 1981 song, the lyrics mention different problems like jobs going overseas.

Not so fast. Prior in time does not necessarily mean prior in right.

This thead seems to be a most nostalgic rap song for the most part lol. It reminds of how much raps evolved, if most of these 80s rappers came out today they would be called amatuers with talent but very little technical skill (Though they are the ones who pioneered the genre to become what it is today)

This still gets my vote as the greatest hip-hop song.

As for my favorite:
