Ok this a nice list but who tf made it "Crossroads " by Bone Thugs N Harmony is one of the greatest songs of all time. I know that there were 15 songs on that list that Crossroads was easily better than. Y'all should've made it a top 50 list.

@bennydretti5867 2 года назад

All of these are hip hop songs. Saying they are rappers is just completely disrespectful. I’ll give Ice Cube, MobbDeep, Nas, Wu-Tang, and Snoop a pass.

@jcorona51819 2 года назад

"Fight For Your Right", in the intro, isn't even in the top 20 of the best Beastie Boys songs. "Triumph" is way better than "C.R.E.A.M." by Wu-Tang. And no BDP? "My Philosophy" is critical to Hip Hop. And I'm not surprised there are some clunkers on this list...kinda disappointing.
