Let the debate begin - VH1 crowns 'Fight the Power' as best hip-hop song

[monosylab1k]

@ Nelly being on the list. Might as well throw Vanilla Ice on there if we're gonna make the list that much of a joke.

[ORION]

Whatever happened to Cypress Hill? Are they still together?

Insane in your membrane!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JudynTX]

What?

[Spurminator]

Given that "U Can't Touch This" is #25 I'm shocked that Vanilla Ice isn't on the list.

[DPG21920]

razor should of been on the list

[ORION]

[Frankie]

What about the monster mash?

[leemajors]

Erick B and Rahkim.......... "I aint no joke" is still banging 20yrs later.

paid in full is tippy top all around.

[PeterBurns]

Scenario by Tribe Called Quest.
Personally, I think Juicy or G' Thing should have been #1

[slayermin]

Tupac and Biggie would have won this hands down if they stayed friends.






But my vote goes to this song.

[Ginofan]

"Regulate" is about 60 spots too low on the list, and "Hate It or Love It" is about 100 spots too high.

Totally agree! Regulate is probably one of my top 5 all time favs. and they jack it at 98? Behind Nelly, MC Hammer, and Eve??? Come on his boy Nate Dogg has just suffered his second stroke, give them a break!

[Vinnie_Johnson]

I love PE glad to see them get some run.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

lol, nelly.

[Kriz-Maxima]

I had seen some bad ones but the moment I saw Nelly on it the list went to .

[resistanze]

Hard Knock Life? Gold Digger? In Da Club? Stan? In the top 20?

Kill them all.

[IronMexican]

This list needs Eazy.
