that's life
I could of done this as a poll, but it wouldn't work as there's so many options, so I'll juz' have 2 keep tally.

What do U all think the greatest hip hop track ever is.

Maybe dre/snoop's classic "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" or maybe the new addition of Eminem's massive "Without Me" or maybe a Tupac track suits u betta?

What do U all think?

I probably left out about 40 (50?!?) tracks I should've included that all tie for my "greatest of all time" list - and that's just through about '92. Tribe, JBs, World Class Wreckin' Cru, Rodney-O & Joe Cooley, Wu-Tang, KMD, Masta Ace, NWA, early L.L., 2 Live Crew, Slick Rick, various De La tracks, The Masterdon Committee, early Lyte, Beasties, Chubb Rock ... I could go on and on and on and on and on and on...

I'd need to think of artists according to label to get all the old phat joints in, especially from back in the day...


... Co Flow shit, Camu Tao, Non-Phix, Apathy's joints...
<sigh>

And that's not countin' the mentionables from France & Mexico, etc, etc...

...and one that I just gotta mention: "F-R-E-S-H, fresh, fresh, fresh, yo that's fresh!!!"

This is my top 5:

Mos Def (Hip Hop)
Who choosing your fate (yo)
We went from picking cotton
To chain gang line chopping
To Be-Bopping
To Hip-Hopping
Blues people got the blue chip stock option
Invisible man, got the whole world watching

Eric B & Rakim (Paid in Full - remix)
Thinkin of a master plan
Cuz ain't nuthin but sweat inside my hand
So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent
So I dig deeper but still comin up with lint

Method Man & Mary J. (Your All I need - remix)
Even when the skies were gray
You would rub me on my back and say "Baby it'll be okay."
Now that's real to a brother like me baby
Never ever give my pussy away and keep it tight aight

Slick Rick (A childrens story)
Once upon a time not long ago,
when people wore pajamas and lived life slow,
When laws were stern and justice stood,
and people were behavin' like they ought ta good

Brand Nubian (slow down)
Hey baby your hips is getting big
Now you're getting thin you don't care about your wig
Now Woolie Willie got a pair of my sneakers
I wonder where he got 'em cause I hid 'em behind my speakers

oh yeah, and honorable mention:

Scarface (mr. mr. scarface)
Mr. Mr. Scarface from walking down the block
Out jumps some fiends and steals all his rocks
Pulls out a gun and shoots down all the fiends
And Mr. Mr. Scarface went up the block again
 
I guess you guys don't really like underground hip hop much then, cause your forgettin the group that created it.

Company flow - funcrusher.

<yawn>
I won't drag this out much, kid, but suffice it to say that YOU don't know shit about hip-hop music or culture like you think to say some ol' stupid shit like that. Sorry if this comes off fucked up, but I'm sick of muthafuckas tellin' me about what I know and don't fuckin' know. I really feel co flow and all of the shit el-p did with def jux but for anyone to so brazenly say that there was no underground until the backpacker set came along is foolish. Save 1 or 2 tracks I mentioned, that shit WAS the underground, as was ALL hip-hop from the era I was referring to. Hi_d_ho, crosstudio and spinsterwun all was comin from the underground with their lists, see back in the day, if you dug hip-hop, you dug underground music. Period. No ifs, ands or buts. And even if you fast forward to the...early,mid,late nineties, there was a whole lotta not-so-commercial shit that set the tone. Shit man, nobody in co flow is old enough to have been a part of the backbone of hip-hop, and therefore couldn't have "created" underground shit. You're either really young (and that's no crime) and just spoke from the time of your "birth" into hip-hop, or not-so-young and really damn stupid. I'd guess the former.

Yo lil' money, cool to speak your piece, but spare me the subjectively shitty assumptions about things you don't know. Since you "started" it, I could light you afire about hip-hop and "the underground" and when there finally WAS a "not-so-underground" scene - but I won't. Maybe you should do some research. You know ask, listen, and learn instead of knowing it all (NOT) and being such a finger-pointing, condescending little shit.

Still feeling superior????
