1. Nothing But A G Thang (Dre)
2. What's My Name (Snoop)

2. 50 Cent - In Da Club / Most spins ever I think
3. The Notorious B.I.G. - One More Chance (Remix) / Still on the charts
4. Run DMC - Walk This Way / Hip hop was mainstream

Seriously, I think "In The Club" might be the biggest rap song ever.  That's been number 1 on the hot 100 for a while (like 7 weeks I think) and I still hear it 3 times a night when I go to a bar/club.

It has also been remixed like no other song and the instrumental has been used by just about everyone to "freestyle" over.

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

Eminem - The Real Slim Shady
Eminem - My Name Is
Eminem - Without Me


"Aint No Fun" was never even a single...It got heavy rotation on radios though...PeACe

[_That_Cracka_J]

Most successful and most airplay I'd have to say:

1.  In the club - 50 Cent
2.  Nuthin' but a G thang - Dr. Dre/Snoop
3.  Crossroads - Bone
4.  California love - 2Pac/Dr. Dre
5.  Regulate - Warren G/Nate Dogg

[M Dogg™]

1. How Do You Want It - 2Pac
(over 2 million sold, and was the offical release of the regular version of California Love, and introduced the world to Hit 'Em Up)

2. Tha Crossroads - Bone Thugs N Harmony
(unbelievable single, like homie said, fastest selling single since the Beatles and in those days singles sold more than albums)

3. One More Chance - Notorious B.I.G.
(That shit is still around, look at the record store, it's there, and people are buying it, crazy)

4. Walk This Way - Run DMC
(fuck sales, this put hip-hop on the map. Should be number one, but Aerosmith is the main reason it sold, but fuck that, Run DMC came up big with this)

5. Nuthin' but A "G" Thang - Dr. Dre
(Smokin' On Blunts, Sippin' On Tangeria, Snoop Doggy Dogg, put Hip-Hop on MTV, very important. Just alittle... ya' know)

[Shallow]

I'm gonna  say "Lose Yourself" has to be up there. It is the only hip hop song to ever win an Oscar. That has to count for something.

[shlomid1]

1. nuthin but a g thang.

2. regulate

3. gin & juice

4. today was a good day

5. hip hop hooray

[KVB]

50 Cent - "In Da Club"
Dr. Dre f/ Snoop Dogg - "Nuthin' But A G Thang"
Notorious B.I.G. - "One More Chance (Remix)"
Notorious B.I.G. - "Big Poppa"
