[Silleone]

Correction* How does it feel to have Em's dick up your ass? Oh my bad you know this is the total wrong time to ask wrong thread wrong user wrong board..this post is just wrong I shouldn't label everybody a groupie

 

[Bobby Sands]

What r u on about^^

how does it feel to be wrong?

How does it feel to b a dickhead.


I didnt c Eminem's song on the list the first time asshole.

 

[Rock]

Run-DMC - Rock Box should be on there,

and about half of 2pac's catolog should be on there

 

[CalcuoCuchicheo]

Yeah, I don't think there can ever be a definitive 'greatest hip hop songs' list but this one has covered a lot of the bases.

 

[2Pax]

Ebonics should be a lot higher up.

 

[yukmoney1127]

Just About Every Tupac Track Should Be There And Cali Luv Should Be #1 Wats Up Wit That

 

[Silleone]

^no

 

[Scoobyffc]

thats a pretty old list right...

sept /2003 i guess...

anyway...as being a very hard thing to choose, i guess its a pretty good list

 

[PACISMAKAVELI]

I saw 3 pac songs on the list....
dear mama @ #8
keep ya head up @ #51
and i get around @ #103
Us pac fans - followers - some of us worshipers should be happy! why? cuz 2pac at #8 is the highest modern artist on the list, you know what im saying? everybody else above pac are those who dont make albums anymore (except maybe rakim) and are considered old school...
(i think someone else can put what im tryin to say in better words but here's who came above 2pac:
1. The Message- Grandmaster Flash
2. Rapper's Delight- The Sugarhill gang
3. Sucker MCs- RUN DMC
4. La Di Da Di- Doug E. Fresh & Slick Rick
5. Fight The Power- Public Enemy
6. Top Billin- Audio Two
7. Paid In Full- Erick B and Rakim

Can someone check if anyone got more than 3 songs on that list?

 

[2PacThug4Life]

they put piggies(biggie) song Who Shot Ya on there but they didn't put Hit Em Up, strange because Hit Em Up is 1 of tha best diss songs ever made.
