I've recently been schooled a bit in hip hop history, and I clicked this thread eager to post "Paid in Full" and get props for my knowledge.
I guess I'm gonna have to go with "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" instead.

For fun, If I had to make personal favorite list in no particular order...
Nuthin But A G Thang - Dre & Snoop Gin N' Juice - Snoop Regulators - Nate Dogg & Warren G Juicy - B.I.G. Release Yo Delf - Method Man
Nuthin/G Thang and Juicy would fight it out for the best ever for me. Regulators would make it last..and given more time might not be on there
..even though it is a parody thread

Shit's underrated just because it was early. Fuck that. Everybody knows they used to like that shit.
But I won't claim to have a favorite. I'm not as familiar with rap as I'd like to be, but I'm more so than, say, someone whose screenname is "grumpygop"8/25/2010 12:44:55 AM |

very hard to answer,
depends on what you mean, greatest by popularity, relevance, something else, etc....
here are a few answers:
gangsters paradise was fucking incredible when it first came out for both pop and rap, but i wouldn't consider it the greatest rap song ever.
honestly, in my opinion there are about 2-3 songs off enter the wu tang that could be in consideration.
i think we have to consider Pac, and my favorite of his is Every Thing They Owe Me (yeah yeah, white guilt whatever, its a bad ass song)
and while i don't think its the greatest ever, i'd put crossroads by bone thugs in the top 10 8/25/2010 4:21:20 AM |

You got hip hop, then you got hip-pop.
Impossible to answer your question, but for some reason this song always comes to mind when discussions like this are brought up.

I'll throw some stuff out that I've listened to at different times in my life:
Tonite/Sweet Black Pussy/Just Lyke Compton- DJ Quik The Product/Steady Mobbin/Wicked- Ice Cube Freaky Tales/In the Trunk- Too Short Mary Jane/I Seen a Man Die/Untouchable- Scarface I Got 5 on It- Luniz Crossover- EPMD Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos-Public Enemy Suicidal Thoughts/Who Shot Ya/Juicy- Notorious BIG Hit Em Up/Against All Odds/Brenda's Got a Baby/Smile- 2Pac Murder Was the Case/What's My Name- Snoop Dogg ATLiens/Spottie/Babylon/Get Up, Get Out- Outkast Ether/Black President/The World is Yours- Nas They Reminisce Over You- Pete Rock and CL Smooth Shadow Business- Jedi Mind Tricks Colors/The Bitch Tried to Kill Me/Midnight- Ice T NoOne Can DO It Better- The DOC The Grand Finale/Dopeman/Fuck the Police/Boys n the Hood- NWA My Posse's on Broadway/Beepers/My Hooptie- Sir Mix-a-lot
so many others...........there is no such thing as a greatest rap song ever. Some of the stuff Dre did, and Funk Flex put together needs to be considered. There are 100 I'm not thinking of. I didn't even get to half the groups. I kind of quit listening when Master P blew up and the whole evolution of hip hop diluted and then ruined the game. I didn't put any Jada, Luda, Em, Gangstarr, LL, Kwame, Craig Mack, Spice 1, The Geto Boys, Jay-Z, Mobb Deep, DJ Magic Mike, n2Deep, Kurtis Blow, The Phracyde, and countless others on there...
I've never listened to The Game, most of Jay-Z (not really a fan), dudes w/ Lil in their name, dudes w/ Yung in their name.... it's just old and been done before.

speaking of Funk Flex, this Boot Camp shit with the whole damn BCC and like 8 different beats is off the nut...shout outs to Ruck, shout outs to the BDI, shouts to the whole fucking click
