a rapper's delight



"SOMETHING, SOMETHING, SOMETHING...stack that cheeeese." even though hip-hop has has not directly saved my life per se, or maybe it has? hip hop has been the salvation/healer to many beautiful people from every walk of life. the other day i was watching the tube, not YouTube but real tv, and came across this, "100 GREATEST HIP HOP SONGS." and i was like ok coo i'll see what this is about. i thought i was watchin BET for a quick second but i was fuckin surprised to find out it was vh1. wtf? vh1 made a show bout the greatest hip hop songs?? hahaha. aniwais, Hip Hop Press said:
VH1 is paying tribute to rap royalty by counting down the "100 Greatest Hip Hop Songs." This five-part compilation of beats, rhymes and lyrics is not just a countdown - it is an ultimate celebration of the greatest hip hop music - old school classics, gangsta rap and everything in between.
this countdown was not only a tribute to all those BAD ASS mc's but it kinda made me reminisce. it will take you back down memory lane. trust. "...a nostalgic look at a time when high-top fades and shades paired with big gold chains and braids were still fresh; a time when throwing your hands in the air got the party started and it was cool to admit that you were down with 'O.P.P....'" hahaha, i liked that.
i havent watched the whole series but i've been tryna catch up through youtube. but the good news is that it will on all day this sunday on vh1 if you interested. , after checking out the list, i dont particularly agree w/some of the rankings but i'll start you off with the first part, the last shall be first. which includes one of faves from back in the day, "REGULATORSSSSS," shoulda easily broke the top 10.
