They're like Arrested Development in that they took flowers and coats of many colors seriously.

Best P.M. Dawn of all, one of my favorite songs of the past 20 years:

Never even knew there was a video--it was a hit in Britian, but not North America. This version is somewhat different than what's on their first album.

I think what I dislike m8st about Missing You is that I didn't like the Police anyway and yet somehow Puffy sampling it made it worse. I had made a conscious decision at that point in my life to get into more hip-hop and Missing You helped derail that by getting played on the radio every hour.

"Missing You" is an obv cash grab & of questionable taste, but it's Puffy.. tbh I kind of admire the brazenness of the whole affair.
The worst song of these is clearly "Informer," which no amount of lol90s nostalgia can reconcile - it has aged very, very badly. Still, it isn't really a rap song, is it? Morelike Canadian dancehall.
I vote for Marky Mark.

if you're really defending this song on the grounds that "the beat is a classic" then you're basically saying every freestyle over a classic beat is a great song in its own right

i actually think "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" is a pretty lousy track—such a lazy beatjack and admittedly-nimble-yet-lethargic-sounding raps. But its miles from being the worst songs on this list
― hold me, thrill me, kiss me, lil b (Whiney G. Weingarten), Sunday, 29 August 2010 23:43 (thirteen years ago) link
like he and mase kind of sucked all the life out of that beat
i will say its an odd choice for a single. but it works w/in the album for me so w/e

"Baby Got Back" wouldn't be a consideration for me if voting in the 90s, but lord, in 2019, this song grates like a motherfucker.
Some of it is what "wite people at karaoke night" did to it, which is obv unfair, but it doesn't feel like a song that was meant to be banged (bung?) forever, whereas most of my favs on this list still sound good to me

Seriously. Crossroads is one of those rare hip hop songs that everyone i know likes.

No one ever believes me when I say this but when Snow's pre-"Informer" single "Lonely Monday Morning" premiered on hip-hop radio (before anyone knew what he looked like) every hip hop head I knew who heard it (OK, four people) agreed it was an instant classic

I mean, I don't like 50 that much either but dude never actively ruined children
If you are not the board's resident Bill Cosby sympathizer and you haven't been at largely black events where a DJ will put this on and all of the kids 10 and under get up and do the dance to the song, combined with dude doing shit like "Throw Some D's On It" and (the admittedly funny and only song of his I can stand) "Yah Trick Yah", you will probably not get the level of fundamental antipathy I have for pretty much everything Soulja Boy represents or how that's been embraced as something awesome and fun by black America.
