Dove Shack - Summer Time in the Lbc < Soon as I saw the title of this thread this song popped into my head.
Ahmad - Back in the day < Classic Hip Hop feel.
Tone Loc - Wild Thang < This track helped to bring Hip Hop to the mainstream. Not West Coast Hip Hop but Hip Hop.
Great thread!

Yes it's top 10 and i shouldn't have to defend it, it's you that should be defending your selections

Maybe you know a thing or two about jewelry.   5 on it is a nice little weed song but in terms of quality Dre's work is the gold standard but the stuff on your list is the stuff the jeweler takes a magnifying glass to, to examine wether it is truly authentic...When it has Dre's name on it the jeweler never questions.

I didn't realize there was a quota on selecting too many songs from one album.... Maybe I should remove All On Me and replace it with "Evil Makes My Dick Grow" but then again I prefer the old Sccit circa 2001-2002

There's a lot of great songs that more influential, but maybe don't have as much replay value.   "Gin and Juice" is one of the greatest songs ever made and unlike a lot of you I'm old enough to remember when it came out and just what a revelation it was at the time....


But i didn't think it had much replay value cause maybe it was something about that moment in time that the track just isn't the same listening to it in retrospect while other tracks are great to reminisce with like "this DJ" or Ahmad's "back in the day"

I've tried to make this list a few times, but it's too hard to choose only 10 songs. These three songs would be on the list for sure though.

Dr. Dre & Ice Cube - Natural Born Killaz
