No Fat Boys, No vote!
From my old school.
NEW YORK - Let the debates begin: VH1 has compiled its list of the 100 greatest hip-hop songs, and Public Enemy's black power anthem "Fight the Power" tops the list.
The cable channel will count down its list in series of shows starting Monday. At No. 2 is the Sugar Hill Gang's groundbreaking song, "Rapper's Delight," followed by Dr. Dre's "Nuthin but a 'G' Thang" at No. 3. Run-D.M.C.'s "Walk This Way" with Aerosmith and Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five's "The Message" round out the top five.
Salt 'N Pepa was the only female act in the top 10, with their early hit "Push It." Two of rap's biggest names — Jay-Z and Eminem — didn't make the top 10, though they are in the top 20.
Other acts on the list include the Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Biz Markie, Black Sheep and J.J. Fad.
The list comes as VH1 prepares to honor the pioneers in rap once again as part of its annual Hip-Hop Honors show, which this year celebrates Slick Rick, De La Soul, Cypress Hill, Naughty by Nature and Too Short. That show airs Oct. 6.

I want to get hhiiiiiiiiiigggghhhhhh
Public Enemy has better songs than that, 'Rapper's Delight' should have been #1...
Lol, not even top 20.
Fight The Power is a decent pick.
Hail Mary would be my #1 if there was a way to erase the Outlawz from the song. That goes for a lot of Tupac songs really.
This Number 1 is a joke in your town.
The guy in the black jacket...I didn't know Carlos Mencia was a rapper!No Fat Boys, No vote!
i can live with that. they did have better songs, but i'm glad it's public enemy. no whodini? epmd? krs1?
i just checked the whole list, wow that list gets gayer and gayer as it goes. top 10 is reasonable but after that it gets sketchy quick.
I could live with Hail Mary. They probably didn't want too many Pac songs in the top 10 or so, otherwise it would probably take up a 4th of the top 10 for me
I hate when they announce who is number 1 the week before they do the countdown shows. It ruins the suspense associated with watching the show the whole week.
Good choice though.
Erick B and Rahkim.......... "I aint no joke" is still banging 20yrs later.
What about Gangsta NIP ? UGK ?

or Do or Die
I'm disturbed by the lack of Montell Jordan on this list.
Taking a quick glance...
11, 17, 18, 20, 23
No.
"Regulate" is about 60 spots too low on the list, and "Hate It or Love It" is about 100 spots too high.
Its almost like the list should be upside down??!! Alot more songs in the bottom 50 should replace those in the top 50. Its like they put alot of modern rap songs up there......and that is when rap/hip-hop fell off a bit.
So Carlos steals peoples looks not just their Jokes!The guy in the black jacket...I didn't know Carlos Mencia was a rapper!
Boyz in the Hood ? Just Don't Bite It ?
Whatever happened to Cypress Hill? Are they still together?
Insane in your membrane!!!!!!!!!!!!
