Lack of Snoop is the most surprising thing so far.
Also, Lemme Smang it beating Bring The Noise, Planet Rock, Follow The Leader, California Love and Get Ur Freak On is pretty much the funniest thing in the history of ILM.

I mean there's gotta be some LL in the top 25, might as well be that
Well, I'd prefer Going Back to Cali, but I figure Mama Said has a better shot (voted for both).
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 9 June 2011 18:04 (thirteen years ago) link
Is Mama Said Knock You Out a pipedream at this point?

i realized i should've mentioned that too right after hitting 'submit' (i was mainly listing stuff from my ballot and "Rock The Bells" was my LL pick)

non-wu top 25 essentials: Mind Playing Tricks, Juicy, TROY, The Message, Top Billin', Gin & Juice, G Thang, Ain't No Half Steppin, It Takes Two, Flava In Ya Ear, Regulate, Shook Ones, La Di Da Di
Passing Me By? The Choice is Yours? 93 to Infinity? The motherfucking Humpty Dance? I Get Around?
Not with this crowd?
Ante Up fo sho.

Snoop might have the best chance of any non-Wu artist of appearing twice in the top 10
Would be amazed if Push It didn't place. Are we too high up for It Was A Good Day now? Probably.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 9 June 2011 18:06 (thirteen years ago) link
I worry about LL, BDK and Top Billin.
― Parenthetical Grillz, Thursday, 9 June 2011 18:06 (thirteen years ago) link
tbh at this point I am expecting #1 to be "Purple Pills"

It Was a Good Day prolly has as good a shot as anything. It definitely falls on the Summertime/G-Funk matrix that ILX loves. Hell, it could be #1.

is "La Di Da Di" the most sampled hip-hop track ever?
― low-rent black gangster nicknamed Bootsy (DJP), Thursday, 9 June 2011 18:15 (thirteen years ago) link
Whether it qualifies or not is irrelevant, but I'd be surprised if it didn't place given that a big pop song like Summertime is also here.
Wouldn't want to bet on anything making number one but, if pressed, would probably go for Regulate.

it would be kind of heartwarming if "Regulate" was #1 so soon after Nate's passing
voted 'elevators' as my #1 mostly for personal reasons. obvs it's a great song + reminds me of summertime smoking weed in the park with my best friend when we were kids..basically the best time ever. has a vivid memory of the first time i heard it when the video came on mtv base late one night and i was just O_o woah this is amazing
― the-dream's car of the summer (tpp), Thursday, 9 June 2011 18:19 (thirteen years ago) link
Nate having just died is what's making me think Regulate. Everyone will have listened to that song in the last couple of months.

i wouldn't be surprised if "The World Is Yours" ends up being the only Nas on this list. there's stronger consensus about his post-Illmatic singles but none of them were going to get to the top 25.

How big a deal was Made You Look? I always thought that was possibly the strongest single he released.
― PG Harpy (Doran), Thursday, 9 June 2011 19:05 (thirteen years ago) link
everyone knows "Made You Look" is the shit but it's not going to place ahead of other stuff from its era like "Get Ur Freak On" or "Grindin'" no matter how much it deserves to

search "al ship's" in the ilx search or i'm sure al could link you to the lists directly - he listed his favorite songs of the past decade from each genre and we polled them all
