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.

nice tribe song, wasn't sure if it was going to make it

"luchini" will never not be fun to listen to

lol you mean "Electric Relaxation"

which btw is awesome

(It's pretty obvious but I lost interest in ATCQ when they lost interest in syncopation)

aw look how dreamy q-tip was

lol my bad!

is Brand Nubian gonna get shut out of both polls?

:(

same concern re: E-40 and Too $hort

I expect "Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down" still, although I'm not sure why

I hope they show. Made my top 10.

40. DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince - Summertime [10 votes, 234 points, 1991]

gtfo

jam, although not the best Fresh Prince single IMO

yeah I would've been okay with Parents Just Don't Understand tbh

lol

Had "gettin jiggy wit it" in my top 5 on the realest of all tips

STILL HOLDING OUT HOPE

Aw c'mon, there's NOTHING not to love about this one

Shittin' on Summertime not a good look.

PE's peak moment

xp

I mean I'd never vote for "summertime" but sometimes ppl need a little light + refreshing

I would have put this much much higher

it's a toss-up between this, "Brothers Gonna Work It Out" and "Bring The Noise" as to what my favorite PE single is

'electric relaxation' is my favourite tribe track.
'fight the power' is my fav public enemy *fists in the air*
'summertime' is a jam

actually I'm fronting, I basically adore every PE single through "Shut Em Down" except for "Terrordome"

:( Terrordome is my favorite PE single.

what's wrong with terrordome?

Bass!

the first time I heard the whole thing was post controversy, plus I dunno the beat doesn't really gel for me in the same way that "Fight The Power" or "Brothers Gonna Work It Out" or even "Can't Do Nuttin' For Ya Man" does

xp: "Bring The Noise" OTOH slays from the get go

P.E in full effect boyyyyyyyy

this was the first rap I tried to learn all the words to

Hmm, Fight the Power was my #1 but the entry doesn't mention any #1 votes.

Great run of songs anyway.

Yay Kurtis Blow & Summertime. Really should've voted on this one... seems my 'moka-hop' taste wasn't really that devious from the standard preset here.

Awesome pics too.

follow the leader the album is microphone fiend + a bunch of filler imo. should have just been the lead single on rhythm.

luv the follow the leader pic

a 60 was included DL, i must have just forgotten to write it in my lil bit for #1s on excel

"Follow The Leader" was also my #1. 11 of my Top 20 have now placed, and I'm reasonably hopeful that 5 more will follow.

I thought Bring The Noise would be a lock for the top 5.

I only voted for Public Enemy No. 1 and You're Gonna Get Yours because I think Yo! Bum Rush The Show is their weakest album prior to He Got Game.

The first night I had an E that blew my head off, the DJ played 'Soul Power 74' by The J.B.s and 'You're Gonna Get Yours'. I can't hear either tune without going a bit funny.

Why is there a miniature Tie Fighter flying at Kurtis Blow's head?

XP: Follow The Leader is a great song but not as pure bad ass as Juice though.
