Eazily I approach, the 100 GREATEST RAP (OR HIP HOP OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT) TRACKS OF THE GODS because I ain't no joke.

I like "Thug Love" more than "Tha Crossroads" but I don't expect anyone else to agree with me

89. Jeru The Damaja - Come Clean [5 votes, 140 points, 1993]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B5dOCSBBEI

Did you vote for No Vaseline Shakey or have you put all that beef behind you?

lol given how shitty Cube got and how much better Dre got (and how dead Eazy-E got lol) it's all water under the bridge at this point

if there were a poll of 100 All Time Greatest Dis Tracks tho, No Vaseline would be my #1

wait is jordan banned??????????????

yes to Jeru

come clean is dope as fuck but really you could pick anything off those first two records and it is legendary

Come Clean is another one that fell just outside my 50. So good.

yes to Jeru

yes

if there were a poll of 100 All Time Greatest Dis Tracks tho, No Vaseline would be my #1

YES

ummm bridge is over come on

voted for My Mind Spray, but I'll gladly take Come Clean

in fact my rap snaps ya sacroilliac!!

Got a freaky-freaky, freaky-freaky-freaky flow.

#21 on my list

88. De La Soul - Eye Know [5 votes, 142 points, 1989]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1CaN4thI5w

And so begins the De La domination.

every time I see the title of that song, the first thing that comes to mind is always the Prince track off of Lovesexy

now now johnny de la only have another 86 songs in the coming 87.

87. Ludacris - Southern Hospitality [6 votes, 143 points, 2000]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QWQVm9J5DM

so far this is all pretty much the definition of "my shit"

Perry otm.

Anyone wanna have a stab at predictions?

Next record is so goon crew canon that if we had a rolling thread back then, it would have been named after it.

(tie w/ #85) 86. Smoothe da Hustler ft. Trigger tha Gambler - Broken Language [4 votes, 146 points, 1996]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzcdmGINcqI

First thing on the list I haven't heard/heard of before. LEARNING!

Shamefully this is the first time I've heard this. Wow. I approve.

(tie w/ #86) 85. Nas - The World Is Yours [5 votes, 146 points, 1994]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5PnuIRnJW8

Where would be a good place to start albums/mixtapes wise?
xp about smoothe

I don't love that Smoothe album as much as some of the goon cru but that track is great

Some Broken Language discussion

BROKEN LANGUAGE POLL

Smoothe The Hustler - Once Upon A Time In America

84. Naughty by Nature – O.P.P. [8 votes, 150 points, 1991]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xGuGSDsDrM

would you guys be up for a Nas tracks poll

I mean there's one for the Boo Radleys ffs...

btw this list is pretty good so far

I'm trying really hard to not be *that guy*, but...too low?

just glad to see it at all tbh - i don't think hiphop hooray got 1 vote.

O.P.P undeniable.

the placement of various things is really random but in a funny way there are so many GREAT hip hop tracks I am not that worried about a bunch of horrible shit showing up

there are so many GREAT hip hop tracks I am not that worried about a bunch of horrible shit showing up

^ this

(tie w/ #82*)83. The Sugarhill Gang - Rapper's Delight [4 votes, 1 #1 vote, 151 points, 1979]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6gD_CwF5YM

*Gets the lower place for what they did to the Cold Crush

I'm not banned fyi

*whew*

good cos i was gonna sb the shit out of whoever would do such a thing

I'm not sure what's more surprising - that only 4 people picked it or that one made it #1. I would have figured it as a slightly dutiful mid-table pick for a lot of people.

Is this actually someone's favorite rap track ever, or is the first place vote for strategery?

lol I might have voted it #1, I don't remember

I'd rather listen to the Def Squad version any-day.
