2. One Mic - Nas

1. Makeing A Name For Ourselves - Common Sense (Common)And Canibus

2 me this is the top 5 of all time. my 5-2 can b argueable. but if my number one aint everyones number one then yall gots problems. canibus is one of the greatest rhymers of all time, and common is one of the greatest of all time. peep the lyrics. the beat is killa. best hip-hop song.

You got it right on the money these fools can't choose real Hip Hop. You picked some interesting songs Slick Rick is old skool and a Tribe's best song is Award Tour easily even though Charlie Brown in scenario is classic. Aesop Rock man that is an intriguing choice he's too weird for most people, but props for picking real Hip Hop.

Best Rap/Hip hop song has to be:

The Choice is Yours - Blacksheep

This song hasn't been mentioned much but it has a brilliant beat, with addictive lyrics that will make you want to hear it again and again, and for that reason it has to be at least up there with the best.

In my opinion "passing me by" from the pharcyde is a timeless classic, had to throw that one out there
