Everybody please put your westcoast bias aside as much as possible - it's time to vote for the biggest hiphop classic tracks of all time. Everyone gets to pick 3 tracks from this huge list, and yes, it used to be even bigger.

Taken off the list:
De La Soul - Me, myself and I
EPMD - Strictly business
Gang Starr - You know my steez
Geto Boys - Mind playing tricks on me
Geto Boys - Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Ice Cube - It was a good day
Jay-Z - Izzo (H.O.V.A)
Jay-Z - Big pimpin'
LL Cool J - Mama said knock you out
LL Cool J - Doin' it
Mobb Deep - Shook ones pt. II
Nas - NY state of mind
Onyx - Last days
Outkast - B.O.B.
Redman - Time 4 sum aksion
Xzibit - Paparazzi

I know it's very likely I even forgot about some classic tracks, but I guess that also means they're not THAT classic, considering the fact they're being forgotten  ;D
So... If your pick of (one of) the biggest classic tracks of all time would include one of the tracks I just listed as "taken off the list", select that "Other (taken off the list)" option. It's sort of a list of honorable mentionings: tracks I thought that were just not good enough to make it with the REAL classics. I know it's kinda lame to have 50 Cent - In da club listed with real classics like "Rapper's Delight" and "I know you got soul", but I also know damn well 50 Cent is going to get some votes here.

So... Take your picks, and please don't mess about. This poll should have an interesting outcome.

I always thought "I know you got soul" was the biggest classic hiphop track ever created, but it's only got 2 votes so far (of which one was mine). I also realised I forgot to put Warren G - Regulate on that list, but then again, it's not really that much of a hiphop song.

It's damn hard, picking 3 out of a list of 28 classic hiphop tracks that are all worth a 6/5 rating. My votes went to
Eric B. & Rakim - I know you got soul
Dr. Dre & Snoop Doggy Dogg - Nuthin' but a "G" thang
Sugarhill Gang - Rapper's delight

Hey, they're generally considered his biggest hits - I don't even think Jigga has ANY track that should be considered on that list. Just tell me what tracks on the list I forgot about, according to you  ;D

From the list I voted for these tracks:
Dr. Dre - Keep their heads ringin'
Snoop Doggy Dogg - Gin & Juice
Wu-Tang Clan - C.R.E.A.M.

But I dont know why you took some of the better songs off the list.
