December 10, 201213 yr I think I can honestly say I have never heard of any of those. I may have heard one or two and just don't know the title. It would be by accident if I did though.
December 10, 201213 yr "Mind Playing Tricks On Me" is one of the most slept on songs in hip hop history. Surprised to see it on the list, but one of my absolute favorites...

"Paid in Full" Eric B and Rakim My favorites out of that list would be: "Nuthin But a G Thang" Dre/Snoop "Mind Playing Tricks on Me" Geto Boys "Rappers Delight" Sugarhill Gang I really liked Public Enemy, just not that song as much.
December 10, 201213 yr Rappers Delight is the only one I recognize. I have never listened to rap music intentionally in my life.
December 10, 201213 yr NONE? How old are you? I'm in my 40's and have never listend to Rap/ Hip Hop on purpose.
December 10, 201213 yr I'm surprised "Atomic Dog", because of how much it is sampled by everyone else, is not on this list.
December 10, 201213 yr Author Rappers Delight is the only one I recognize. I have never listened to rap music intentionally in my life. "Intentionally." Classic.
December 10, 201213 yr Author I'm surprised "Atomic Dog", because of how much it is sampled by everyone else, is not on this list. I wouldn't consider that to be a hip hop song.
December 10, 201213 yr "Mind Playing Tricks On Me" is one of the most slept on songs in hip hop history. Surprised to see it on the list, but one of my absolute favorites... Agreed. Was glad to see it on the list.
December 10, 201213 yr Author I will mention again that Ice T's documentary "Something From Nothing" is very good. Not sure if it's on Netflix yet. If you like the history and the genre it's a good watch.
December 10, 201213 yr Should be at least one Pac song, but other than that not a horrible list. Very hard to rank hip hop/rap songs all time because of the variety of opinion surrounding the music. Seems like the top 10 went from a more classic standpoint so judging from that criteria not a horrible list considering most of the pioneers and pioneering songs are on the list.
