That Rappers Delight song in my EARS, Is overrated… Biggies Juicy deserve to be higher, I Think… Hard Knock Life A Little Lower, Stan is about right, But Sugarhill Gang need to be dropped…

I have made several comments on here already of how bad this list is & its order but one thing I notice is that every rapper is only on here once (besides Jay, Run DMC & Cube w/NWA). If you told me you were making a list of the 100 greatest hip hop songs and there nothing from Resonable Doubts on there, I would have laugh @ you. B.O.B was not even Outkast best song and its there only input on the list. Tribe only on here once, what??? Pete Rock @ 90!!! Im done.

off the top of the dome those are the ones I would consider for a top 100 list..I only had about 20..so Guess what I think about thier list….lo
References :
For the most part the list is correct…I didn’t understand the significance of having Lil Wayne on the list or Nelly when their contributions to hip-hop have been minimal to say the least…I would have like to seen Planet Rock pushed further up the list, and why wasn’t "Elevators (Me and You)" not mentioned, that has to be one of the best songs from their catalog.

I’d make a few changes here and there, Since they probably all have to be singles, I’d take out the ones that don’t deserve to be in there and put singles in there that deserve to be there more, quality wise

alot of the songs I only kept up due to it’s popularity or else it would have been gone off the list. Boyz In The Hood, I Got It Made, Liquid Swordz, F— The Police, and U.N.I.T.Y. should have been on that list. Alot of the songs shouldn’t have been in the position that they are in. They could have had more Tupac songs on there.
