Pretty heavy 90s influence, probably illustrates the golden age as well as the critics' age when they got into hip hop.

- Start date

Passing Me By is a great song but top 10 is a bit far.
Decent list. I'd personally of had naughty by nature's OPP and a big pun track in there.
I get the cultural significance but would many people have "Alright" as the best song on TPAB?
Had to go back and listen to All of the lights to see if it was as out of place as it seemed. Not a single Jayz song?
The disrespect...
Boring list
The fact that Lose Yourself isn't in the top 10 and Gangsta's paradise isn't even on the list. Bollocks
I'm wondering if this list is purely songs released as singles. Wesley's theory, u and mortal man are all better imo (think u was a single though). Its a 'kin brilliant album tbf
For a 2pac song dear mamas not a patch on keep your head up
Apparently he had 18 different songs nominated which meant the vote was split.

I feel like listening to She Keeps on Passin' Me By...now.

They left out Trump's A Racist by Naga Munchetty ft Dan Walker.
Where the feck are De La Soul and Public Enemy?
It’s got an amazing music video too, I didn’t really think it was that amazing until I saw it to the video.
PE's at number two.
Public enemy are at no2
Yeah that’s a very weird choice. The drum winds me up in that song so much that I skip it straight away.
No song from 2001 is interesting.
I’ve always thought the drums are too loud in the mix on that song.

Well, its clearly my bedtime.
Not a single Scarface song? I Seen A Man Die & Now I Feel Ya are legendary songs.
Jedi Mind Tricks ft RA - Uncommon Valor is also fecking legendary and better than a few songs on that list.
I don't see March Madness on there so the list is invalid
Immortal Technique - Dance With The Devil
Dead Presidents.
Was hoping C.R.E.A.M would be number one.
Through The Wire and We Major are better Kanye songs than the selections here IMO.
The disrespect to the GOAT Chicago rapper

The two Outkast songs in the list are Rosa Parks and B.O.B? They don't even make Outkast's top 10 list.

Also a Gang Starr track should be in it.

Very surprised this one isn’t on the list.

Terrible list, unsurprisingly.
