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 think "coosh contusion" is the winning phrase from that song anyway

<3 "Ante Up" but that is way too high. Not even my favorite M.O.P. joint. Glad "Cream" wasn't #1 tho, esp. after Wu won the other poll. That joint is overrated (but so is "Protect Ya Neck").

Thanks for all the appreciation. I make a living as a graphic designer so it was fun to do, despite the combined 7 hours of sleep over the last 2 nights.

I would have gotten "NY State of Mind" & "A Roller Skating Jam Named 'Saturdays'" into the poll if I'd voted. Maybe "The Next Episode"/"One Day"/"The Takeover" too.

Wait, how can it be that I was the only Bomfunk voter?

::twirls chair around, stares wide-eyed at Tuomas::

Somewhat surprised no one voted for Hip 2 Da Game besides me.

looooooooool xp

Calling cream overrated is nuts...

682. Petey Pablo - Raise Up

;_;

put your shirt on

I dunno, it's never really grabbed me like that.

It's always seemed kind of worthy to me.

I'm kinda sad that no one else besides me voted for "Sucker DJ", "Fire It Up", "Illusions", "Ladies First", or "Fat Cats, Bigga Fish"... These are all top class tunes, certainly better than anything Eminem ever did.

IMO this one of the best video/tune combos of the 90s.

We should do one of these on a yearly basis but exclude the tracks that have previously made it. By year three or four things would get real interesting, or maybe it would just turn into an Odd Future wankfest, idk.

Fire It Up is tops.

Eh I think ilx no longer likes odd future

So itll just be a bunch of wu affiliate tracks and de la soul skits then.

Wonder how many countdowns it would take for my #1 to place

Simon Says was fucking ROBBED fyi

yeah, you me and 1 other voted for it?

― Edward III, Saturday, 11 June 2011 05:09 (4 hours ago)

that was me, I think?

AFAIR all of my strategic or troll voting got shut out ;_;

Heroic work a hoy hoy and Spottie, even though now I look at the full list it looks like my ballot wasn't counted in the end because there are no votes at all for some of my picks. But hey, a great top 100 anyway (including roughly half my list) and a total pleasure to follow the rollout.

Especially grateful because my wife was expecting a baby all week and this was a great distraction from the nerves. She gave birth today. Only hitch: throughout the long labour I had the bassline to Black Moon's I Got Cha Opin running through my exhausted head.

Congratulations Dorian! Hip Hop Hooray!

Congrats to you and your wife!

congrats DL! there's a googleproof parenthood thread on 77 you're always welcome to post on: http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=77&threadid=74957

Some of the supposed locks for top 20 (What's My Name, Drop It Like It's Hot) didn't even make top 200.

Kids are the best, we have number 2 due in 7 weeks. Congrats DL

i think we already established that Finland is the only place where those songs are more popular than "Gin & Juice"

congrats DL, I hope you named the baby RAP TRACKS OF THE GODS

name the baby rakim

Scarface Lynsk3y

Osiris

big baby jesus

"ha" placing is awesome! hopefully it won't be the only non-wayne cash money

well i mean Wayne is on "Back That Azz Up" and "Bling Bling" -- it's not like a Big Tymers single is gonna place or anything

― Letters From Iwhiney Gima (some dude), Wednesday, June 8, 2011 6:06 PM (2 days ago)

no more juvie, no "what happened to that boy", no "bling bling", aw

not that i'm complaining i'm just saying

^funniest thing bout that is Wayne not placing at all (outside of c2)

no real classic singles

surprised a milli didnt make it. its not rlly one of my favorites but i can see it being an official rap canon pick 4 all time etc

i voted for "the block is hot"

only one vote for "so fresh, so clean" !

thanks a hoy hoy for all ur hard efforts. pls can we have a uk goon fap at some point.

haha ftw u are inside my head

25 of my Old School 50 made it to the 100, so I'm happy. My "criminally overlooked" list is topped by:

Stetsasonic - Talking All That Jazz
Big Daddy Kane - Raw
Young MC - Know How

Congrats on the birth of Lil Dee Ell!

can't believe I'm the only vote for this, is this like some forgotten dre joint

Above The Law - 'Murder Rap'

― Edward III, Friday, 10 June 2011 20:18 (Yesterday)

I'd go for the flip ('Another Execution').

"haha ftw u are inside my head"

Ha. Such a great tune.

"another execution" is a jam but the ironside sample in "murder rap" rules my world

mike otm abt "raw" and "talking all that jazz"

I can see bdk suffering from vote splitting but this one shoulda been low hanging fruit
