Honorable mentions (Or songs that could have been on the list IMO): Heartless & Love Lockdown by Kanye West Lollipop by Lil Wayne Stan by Eminem Hey Yah! by OutKast Dope list anyway!
I literally had every single one of those written down when I was initially sorting out my list. Looking back, i prolly should have included a 808s track from ye
I think that would be chaos. It’s too many different people with different styles flows etc. it seems like something a RU-vid would slap together with a beat from one of their albums. Like it wouldn’t blend
@@xydanmusic Bro, the Oxford English Dictionary officially included the definition of "Stan"... This shows how much impact this song had in the whole world... Just to say...
Stan wasn’t influential if it was you would see another consensus rap but nobody did that Shit just became corny even tho I think that was the best em song after underground
@@hoodz7776 you might want to rethink what you just said. If you were a true fan of RAP you should know by now that Stan is one of the most influential, impactful rap songs of all time.

Wayne is one of the biggest influences for modern day hip hop and most of this comment section is overlooking it, whether u like Wayne or not u can’t deny he is the guru of modern hip hop
Absolutely Weezys impact is always overlooked despite the fact that he is one of the most influential artists of this era. All the big names drake, kendrick, young thug and lil baby came up because of wayne
I don’t care how much “influential” people think he is, wayne is the reason most new rappers look like they live in a trash can and he’s the reason for all of them not giving a fuck about lyrics anymore. Wayne is the biggest wack rapper in history, way overrated in any sense
Honourable mentions 20. I got love by Nate Dogg 19. U Make Me Wanna by Jadakiss 18. X Gon Give It to Ya by DMX 17. X by Xzibit 16. Ether by Nas Still Great list
Great list. I feel two Eminem songs should've made the list: Stan and Til' I Collapse. The former spawned a new word in the English lexicon while the latter is the greatest hype song in the history of songs and the best selling non-single in the digital era.
Top 3 is as follows: 3. Lollipop 2. Lose Yourself 1. In Da Club I was a kid but I still remember what was it in the streets when In Da Club was bangin... it was unreal and to this day I can move to this song.
@@dmob39 how can you say em isn’t influential. He inspires thousands and thousands of poor white kids who just want to make money or make a living. Plus em is much more lyrically gifted than Wayne. Em is a different cloth than Wayne it’s not even close
@@eddythewire3755 bro calm down! I’m not white and I agree too + I know a TON more non-whites that would also agree and back the statement - so just chill
Ugh... we desperately need an album produced by both Dre and Kanye... probably the two best producers of all time imo... although premier fits in there somewhere.
I don’t know I feel like that would be too dissonant. Kanye is mostly about soft melodies with hard 808’s and base reliant. Dre is mostly about consistency in a beat rather than being flashy. He makes 90’s beats still and that’s why he’s relevant but that really clashes with the early 2000’s because they were trying to be so different. It’s possible they could just compliment each other though.
@@Vijay-zt6ws I agree, Eminem is very underrated in production as his rapping skills overshadow it. If he showed more in that department too, he could be in the top lists
Great list. I'm 33 now so if the list were re-ordered it'd be like my own evolution into listening to hip hop music. Real Slim Shady was basically the first rap song I ever heard that I actually listened to. Then the Chronic. Listened to Dirt Off Ya Shoulder on repeat after I heard that one. Then 50 came out. By the time I was in high school, Southern Rap was starting to take over, and by the time I got to college in 2007, everybody was listening to Kanye and Wayne. Heck, they both came to Tucson my freshman year--Kanye on his Graduation tour (don't remember what it was called) and then Wayne that spring--he got arrested shortly thereafter in Yuma
The fact that so many songs either included Dre, or his prodigies Snoop, Eminem, and 50 Cent just prove how much Aftermath really ruled the 2000s. Roc-a-fella also did well under Jay Z and also with Kanye
The Bass drums in "in da club" are still so iconic. I haven't heard a song with the same sounding drums and which has the same kind of impact. Fire ass song still🔥🔥
My list: 1. Eminem - Lose Yourself 2. 50 Cent - In DA Club 3. Dr.Dre ft. Snoop Dogg - The Next Episode 4. 50 Cent - P.I.M.P. 5. Eminem - The Real Slim Shady 6. Jay-Z - Empire State of Mind 7. Eminem - Till I Collapse 8. Kanye West - Stronger 9. Snoop Dogg - Drop It Like It's Hot 10. Eminem - Stan 11. Eminem - Cleanin' Out My Closet 12. Kanye West - Gold Digger 13. Eminem - Without Me 14. Eminem - Just Lose It 15. Jay-Z - 99 Problems
@@bene7013 yeah it was. He only named it 'The Chronic 2001' because Suge Knight had released an Album called 'Suge Knight Represents: Chronic 2000' which was aimed at Dr. Dre. Dre then wanted to be better than him and named his album simply 'The Chronic 2001'
In Da Club was arguably the biggest rap hit of all time. It's for sure bigger worldwide than Lose Yourself. To this day, In Da Club is played at birthdays and clubs.
@@justhip-hop Yeah honestly. In da Club was a absolutely banger and is his biggest song, but Many Men was something else. The amount of remixes and songs inspired by it is insane
You can go to Latinamerica and there is no a human that was born in the 2000s that has internet connection who dosen't know who Snoop Dogg and Eminem are. Great list.
I feel Till I Collapse should’ve been an honorable mention too. One of the best hype songs of all time, with one of the best hooks of all time by the late and great Nate Dogg.
So just realized Kanye may be greater than I knew Early 2000s Em and Dre Mid 2000s 50, Dre, Wayne and the Neptunes Late 2000s just fucking Kanye Also Dr Dre somehow underrated as well.
@@zavion_music I think em is lyrically better only because of his age. He had more experience then them. With 20 + years of his craft yes. Hi is a better lyricist. But pac and big just completely changed the e game. But all three of them could string together bars unimaginable to regular humans
You forgot a very important song. Day N Nite by Kid Cudi: US Billboard #3, Hot Hip Hop Billboard #5, 5x Platinum. Feb 2008. It's frustrating that Cudi never gets the attention he deserves. He influenced Kanye West who has even said himself that Cudi is the most influential artist of our generation. All modern hip hop is in some way inspired by Cudi.
@@gabibeleaua69 you need a history lesson. Cudi wrote and helped produce the majority of 808s and Heartbreak. The album that shifted most of hip hop into what it is today. Kanye was inspired by Cudi’s melodic rap style. Read up
I know people like to hate Nelly these days but his first two albums were huge. Country Grammar, Ride Wit Me, Air Force Ones, Hot in Herre, Grillz - even if you can’t stand him his sound was influential and was arguably a major part of mainstreaming hip hop. Put it this way: I’m a white guy who didn’t start listening to hip hop until like 2006-07 but I knew lyrics from two main artists: Eminem and Nelly - because they were big enough icons to break into my pop-punk/ska/alt bubble.
The fact that em learned under dre in terms of production and now is making changes to dre beats to improve them is insane. I bet nobody thought dre could be surpassed
Nelly should be on here with either Hot in here,Dilemma,ride with me,grillz, country Grammer,or Air force Ones. Dude was outselling everyone besides em on this list I know he's not lyrical but got to give him props.
Wayne ruled like 06-11+ but problem is so much was features and mixtapes that don't exactly translate to the "commercial success" but he was untouchable. Wayne remixes your song and it's his song now.
Real accurate info here. These songs are still popping today. If you don't know all these songs and from this era, you must of been in a coma or have amisa !!
@@ferdodanga5223 Wu tang is has better solo records then OutKast (Liquid Swords, Return of the 36 chambers, etc.) but OutKast has way better and more classics under group albums
I will always be so happy that Kanye brought Daft Punk to the US! That group is AMAZING! The stuff they have done with The Weeknd is also good, but I always liked the feel of the Kanye stuff better.
My honorable mentions: Jeezy/Akon - Soul Survivor Kano - Ps and Qs Busta Rhymes - Break Ya Neck Rick Ross - Hustlin' Clipse - Grindin' N.E.R.D - Rockstar Lil Jon/Eastside Boyz/Ying Yang Twins - Get Low Nelly - Country Grammar (Hot Sh*t) JAY-Z/Alicia Keys - Empire State Of Mind Lupe Fiasco - Superstar
I feel like Kanye was the most influential musically, Em socially (making more white people interested in hip hop, inspiring youth, making hip hop much more globally popular and appreciated...) and Wayne culturally (i feel like nowadays every mumble rapper took something from Lil Wayne).
Bro, the Oxford English Dictionary officially included the definition of "Stan"... This shows how much impact this song had in the whole world... Just to say...
The comment are just em stans lol They really think he's the most influential artist hhh How you would be the most influential when you never created or helped the creation of a new sound lol Kanye did it with 808 and he helped the trap like TRAVIS, cudi Dre did it with the g-funk Lil Wayne did it with the trap
@@marquirasheed Yes he Does idk what the name should be but Rappers like Logic,NF,Mgk,Hopsin,Joyner, Tom Macdonald Etc and is highly influential in rap
I was waiting like damn when is he gonna bring out heartbreak by kanye or love lockdown its all good though the list is still very goated perfect in my opinion
