another Copy & Paste cliche' list. it's like nobody ever listens to albums, they just listen to Singles smh.
journalism iz dead
-
Most people in general could care less about Singles unless they're absolutely that good/monumental or are in an appropriate setting like a Party/Club/BBQ/etc etc...
Most people who love music are moreso interested in the albums these Artists create. Sales and popularity for Commercial Singles are generally over-inflated/over-exaggerated due to Artistic support/Trendy ear catching spontaneous purchasing.
-
apparently, to come up with the list they polled:
Busta Rhymes, Big Boi, Uncle Luke, Chuck D, Mike D & AD Rock, Jermaine Dupri,
Kurupt, Talib Kweli, MC Lyte, Tom Morello, Q-Tip, Questlove, Nas, Vernon Reid,
Boots Riley, Pete Rock, Rick Rubin, James Bernard, Reginald Dennis, Cortez Bryant,
Monica Damashek (Spotify), Dante Ross, Craig Kallman
-
and that goes for ANY genre of music/entertainment

i dont give a fuck who they asked... fuck does that have to do with anything? an L is an L
anyways, it's another cliche' 80's New York based article about Hip Hop Music.

LOL

lol Foreal tho... shit iz still irrlevant and far from accurate
there's mixtape freestyles better than some of these songs and verses on here and no i'm not judging it based off my own personal tastes or date of birth. that shit iz irrelevant too
-
80's Hip Hop Forefathers, Pioneers, Icons, and Legends need to do better than constantly promote the same songs over and over again thru tha same exact Mediums year after year. Niggaz need to step they game up and be more like Bosses instead of Foot Soldiers. Enuf iz Enuf
I mean really.... you mean to tell me "Empire State Of Mind" is better than "Tha Shiznit"? FOH
and that's no shade against Jay-Z or Alicia for that matter becuz that song iz huge in it's own way.... but better than "Only God Can Judge Me".... yeah okay ::)
-
I mean really.... "A Milli" is better than "Bout It Bout It" or "Cameras/Good Ones Go"?
I love "A Milli" and I recognize that it's a smash hit and wont die for years to come and I honestly believe that. But musically, is it really better? ijs
-
you really mean to tell me "New York New York" aint fucc'n with "Hold It Now, Hit It"?
cmon bob, really?

50 Cent - In Da Club #20.....LOL

Who doesn't love "Keep Their Heads Ringin" & what 70`s Baby ain't sung "CoCo" atleast once?
The incentive to give a fuck about somebody else's opinion/article is slowly but surely all but dwindling day after day. There's really only a few Journalists left that are actually worth tuning into... like The Breakfast Club (tho they need to turn it up), Bill Maher, DJ Vlad, Nemo Hoes, Larry King, occasionally Hot97, TMz (when they're not on that bullshit, fuck MTO btw). And that's really about it. Dr. Gupta is kool, some of the local news, shout out to my Wife from my next life Allison Seymour from Fox5 DC, the homies Jim Vance and the News 4 Squad
I mean really tho, on some real shit. Most of the media is just Corporate sponsored Advertisements, word to CNN

No 2 Chainz? Foh
And who's stupid enough to believe that "No Type" is going to be intolerable in 2017?

Like that you say nemo hoes
First its a Little Strange
But snoop really breath Music
I put B Real in there too
The Shows from These two taught me alot about hip hip/music
-
Nah I'm kool on Real, no disrespect to tha man tho.
He doesn't really have the Personality for it. And that's okay, not everything is for everybody
-
They say that Eminem gets special treatment because he is white, but I think in cases like this he is still discriminated against for being white. You know "Lose Yourself" deserved to be Top 5 but they didn't put it there because of they thought,
"OHH, if we put an Eminem song in the top 5 they will accuse us of giving preference to a white man, so we have to put some lesser songs ahead of it so we don't appear racist".
...btw, ya'll should check out the reprinted Eminem article from April 1999. It's an amazing article, from when Eminem first blew up and was receiving a dizzying amount of both love and hate, people didn't know how to take him at first, insecure white rap fans (like how Cham is) thought it necassary then to hate on Em until they realized how much respect he had amongst black hip-hop headz, and regular people hated him because he was coming with something different and new and was ahead of its time. The article has quotes from everyone including Dre, Em's mom, Kim, etc. It's a classic, it really took me back to when the article was first printed. Dre shows great forethought in the article, predicting that Eminem would go on to be "bigger than Michael Jackson".

Shut tha fuck up Cecilia. The Beasties are on here numerous times along with other White producers.... so kill that noise before I devour your Troll Bait and eat it for breakfast
And realistically that's the only song that should be on there by a white rapper.
The Beasties only get this amount of notoriety becuz they're Jewish and one of the first to do it without going out looking foolish.
NOBODY plays The Beasty Boys. In fact they've been on more Documentaries than Radio Stations & Countdowns in the past 20 years becuz NOBODY gives a damn except people who they're cool with just trying to look out
The Beasties are some of the most irrelevant and overrated Rappers to ever be acknowledged in Classic Content discussions PERIOD. You literally had to grow up in that era and have a distinct and certain taste to still even listen to the shit they've put out.
God bless the dead but c'mon let's b-real here. The Beasties are products of privilege and nothing else

Eminem "Lose Yourself" is an obvious choice for the Top 5-10. It was so obvious that they felt they had to look smarter than everyone else by not putting Em's magnum opus where it deserved to be placed and on top of that instances like these are examples of reverse racism.
...as far as the Beastie Boys, I don't really give a fucc about the Beastie Boys and I was never a fan, they aren't an obvious choice either, and their case is different.

another Copy & Paste cliche' list. it's like nobody ever listens to albums, they just listen to Singles smh.
journalism iz dead
Journalism definitely wasn't dead when they wrote that Em article in Rolling Stones back in April 1999. Check it out as it is reprinted in the new issue. I had the O.G. from back in the day, it's one of the best written hip-hop articles I've ever seen. My second favorite after the Source Dre cover article from summer 96.
-
Whos to say its wrong? Its their poll, lol.
-
I could care less about that article at this point in the game. Eminent fell off after "The Eminem Show" and honestly, "The Slim Shady LP" was pretty wack too, shit only had a couple good songs on there. Great songs but only a couple.... keep it 100 please
Whos to say its wrong? Its their poll, lol.
Then it should be labeled as such.
I understand what they're doing, really I get it. I am The Hollywood Bilderberg Group right. But still, it's uncalled for at this point. We need to compromise somewhere

Every song was good on SSLP thru Eminem Show

I saw an interview once where 2pac was giving props to "Mind Playin Tricks On Me", putting it up as an example of real hip-hop. So I would say that is probably one of the all-time great tracks, but not as high as you put it.
