My Top 25 Greatest Hip Hop Songs of All Time

Introduction:

First of all I just want to say that this list is for real hip hop fans, not for people who think that “Rappers Delight” is the best rap song ever made. There is a big difference between a good rap song and a historic rap song. Some people make lists that are the top 10 or even the top 100 most “historic” rap songs, they don’t care about what the song actually sounds like, and I think that’s completely ridiculous. This is for all the aspiring rappers, producers and DJ’s who have been really influenced by rap music and are trying to make a living and a career out of it.
