Ok. To everybody who forgot about this or hasnīt been here long enough, no, this is not my version of C2Knucklesī countdown. I actually started that topic (http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/index.php?topic=61266) monthhs ago and I took ages to come up with this which I apologize for. I underestimated it a bit and also those werenīt exactly the months in which I had most time on my hands in my life. When I had time, it often didnīt pop into my head or I was not motivated or had something i still found more important. People sent me pmīs about it and the thread was un-stickied, both of which I canīt be mad at. Anyways, it was a shitload of songs i had to include in my stats, so it wasnīt that easy to do. Well....

[size=8]
ENJOY THE LIST..........AND GIMME SOME PROPS

Cool list.

I remember 5 years ago, I did a 50 best songs of the 90's and posted it on another message board I used to post at and it got flamed ruthlessly.

I know that list took some time to put together. Good work.

T.R.O.Y. is one of my top 5 hip hop tracks of all time.
