I don't know why but this is otm

makes me think I have tourette's cuz I will just randomly yell this about once a week if not more

in re "it takes two"

I love "Mama Said Knock You Out" but < "Around the Way Girl" (and "Doin' It")

the only instance I can think of where obeying your mama is made to be synonymous with being a badass

xp

Wtf at dude hating on ladi dadi. It's better than kilter every other track in the top twenty so far

Than LIKE

Ha

"it takes two" my #30, "mama" was #17

put on "mama said knock you out" and I will rule yr karaoke

Wtf at dude hating on ladi dadi. It's better than like every other track in the top twenty so far

12. Souls of Mischief - '93 Til Infinity [10 votes, 1 first place vote, 342 points, 1993]

Not hating on La Di Da Di. "Doesn't do anything" does not equal hate.

Nice one

Rankings are becoming increasingly insane here...

'93 Til is okay and all but it should swap places with one of those EPMD tracks in the bottom 25 or something

One of the best beats ever. So evocative

93 should be top 5.

been listening to #8 on repeat for the billionth time.

"Lemonade"?

tease

11. Snoop Doggy Dogg - Gin and Juice [16 votes, 349 points, 1993]

Awesome #13 & #12. I continue to be surprised and delighted.

Kind of sick of Gin & Juice, tbh.

spottie's pic makes me giggle but really it should have been doggy dogg world or ain't no fun imo.

I 100% endorse that song, it still fucking pwns

I think everyone can rap gin & juice BUT not my fav dre/snoop

while i go make myself some hot lemon and honey, anyone wanna guess the top ten? to me it makes perfect sense, even if the ordering is all askew and i wouldn't vote #10 or #6 if i was given 200 votes.

I was sure Bring The Noise, It Takes Two and Stay Fly would make top 10.

lol @ condom screen grab

Gin & Juice is classic obviously but a) I never need to hear it again and b) Ain't No Fun is the best track on that album, as determined by science

(btw i love #6 i just wouldn't think to vote for it over anything else the person or people who made it done)

Juicy, Mind Playing Tricks, TROY, Regulate, G Thang, Ante Up, Message, Kick In The Door, In Da Club, Straight Outta Compton

x post

Yes. I thought Bring The Noise or Fight The Power would be #1 overall.

My personal fav is whats my name but gin and juice belongs here more than any other

was a 50 hater for a long time but the In Da Club beat rules my soul. it better place

I know a hoy hoy said Juicy was his least favorite Biggie song so I'm guessing that's #6?

Ime ain't no fun is even more overplayed than gin and juice these days. Def prefer the la tter

Surely this can't be the only Snoop in the entire top 100.

seeing as how Ain't No Fun has never been played on the radio or had a video I don't really understand how that's possible

xp

Surely this can't be the only Snoop in the entire top 100

Drop It Like It's Hot maybe?

top 10:

ante up
shook ones
g thang
troy
juicy
CREAM
Mind Playing Tricks on Me
The Message
Straight Outta Compton
Fix up look sharp

Because djs play the shit out of "ain't no fun"

I had NO IDEA that ppl held "regulate" in such high esteem

I ain't no joke should be here somewhere

xxxp forgot about shook ones. that's a lock. probably cream too. drop In Da Club and Kick In The Door from my list as much as it saddens me

Humpty, TROY, Straight Outta Compton, Mind Playing Tricks, CREAM, Juicy, Ditty, Message, Jam On It, G Thang

Juicy, The Message, Mind Playing Tricks, G Thing, TROY, Shook Ones, The Choice is Yours, Humpty Dance, Ante Up, CREAM

Fingers crossed.

Fuck, is The Choice is Yours not gonna make it? That's just crazy.

No way fix up look sharp makes it
