thoughts?

As someone who doesn't even like rap, I must say I agree with you on #3 and 8. Both great songs.

Ms Jackson? Eh, I think Bombs Over Baghdad or Rosa Parks.

Also, I had to go find Check it Out on Youtube. Apparently I haven't bought a Beasties album in 9 years.

nuthing but a g thang missing from a top ten list?what the fuck?

"Ms Jackson? Eh, I think Bombs Over Baghdad or Rosa Parks."

Meh... no such thing. There's so many different styles and so many different songs that people like, it's too controversial to choose. Now, if you mean top 10 FAVORITE songs... I could understand that.

youre living in the past those are all old bands

Your wrong on all off them. Rap just sucks in general

"Your wrong on all off them. Rap just sucks in general"

Shook Ones pt II is one of my favorite.

you forgot kirss kross - jump

What is the best rap/hip-hop album of forever?

No offense man, but there are way better hip hop songs out there besides some of those ones. Most of those are complete shit compared to stuff done by: Nas,Biggie,Big L, Gangstarr,  Wu-Tang,  Mobb Deep etc. Those guys make real hip hop, not this mainstream shit

"What is the best rap/hip-hop album of forever?"

I could never pick top songs of rap. It's hard enough for me to pick a top 10 albums lol... But at least there was some thought in your list.

I think you need to include Westside Connections BOW DOWN, even though I'm an old rock guy personally.

"youre living in the past those are all old bands
"

ugh im not even going to...

...just walk away...just walk away..

lol, I didn't notice he used the word band. That's a definite no no.

No California Love? No Roses? No Illmatic?

You confused boy! Confused i tells ya!

yeah...no.

I dont listen to a lot of rap but i really like Here I Come by The Roots

Uhhh...let's just say rap ain't my thing and leave it at that.

"Uhhh...let's just say rap ain't my thing and leave it at that."

You forgot
Concrete Schoolyard - Jurassic 5
Check the Rhime - A Tribe Called Quest

No California Love?

Thats a classic and my favorite 2pac song

good hip-hop songs...

Good list TC, but I think it lacks variety.  There's so much good hip-hop though so I just chose some of my favorite songs that I think deserve to be noted. Here's my top 10:

1) Shut 'em Down - Public Enemy
2) Hip-hop Hooray - Naughty by Nature
3) Vapors - Biz Markie
4) Guinesses - MF Doom (feat Angelika & 4ize)
5) Dry Your Eyes - The Streets
6) Hip-Hop - Dead Prez
7) Da Dip - Freak Nasty
8) It's Tricky - Run DMC
9) Gravel Pit - Wu Tang Clan
10) Passing Me By - Pharcyde

Like Bullet Jr, I agree there's just too much to go through so Imma just put the first 10 killer songs that pop into my head...

Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuttin to Fuck Wit - WuTang Clan
Let Da Monkey Out - Redman
Ghetto Rock - Mos Def
Mr. Sandman - Methodman
Pass The Mic - Beastie Boys
Real N*ggaz Don't Die - NWA
Insane In the Membrane - Cypress Hill
Flipmode Meets Def Squad - Busta Rhymes
99 Problems - Jay Z
Snakes - Ol Dirty Bastard

Some awesome picks in here, yours are pretty hot Bullet - The Street's "Empty Cans" and Pharcyde's "Drop" just barely got snipped off my list.

Oh... hell... yes...

List is Fail this is the #1 hip hop

HA! thats funny.  sad thing is that this is the kinda stuff that gives hip-hop a bad image.  real hip-hop that is, not that pop shit.

"List is Fail this is the #1 hip hop

De La Soul - Brakes
Group Home - Up Against the Wall (Getaway car mix)
Wu Tang Clan - The 7th Chamber
Souls of Mischief - 93 til Infinity
Common - The Corner
