Best Rap Single of the 90s Tournament: 1991

[Man]

Speaking of OPP

Was I the only one thrown off by “5 little letters that are missing” on the last P?

 

[mobbinfms]

OG version

I’d disagree wholeheartedly.
Can’t Truss It got all day radio play
Plus that video
I know it’s @hex favorite song of all time.

I'm not feeling Mind Playing Tricks On Me being in the lead. I fukked with that song heavy but thats not how I remember 1991. This is why i hate these coli polls....they always tell the story the opposite from what I remember.

You can always tell in certain threads the people that lived it from those that researched it extensively online according to the internet years later

Then there’s regional bias, accusations of regional bias and inferiority complexes instead of just calling it how it was/is

Most people in an booth don’t know wtf they talking about

I knew it!

But that’s only 4 missing letters too

After 18 months she came home and I let her back in
And now she’s sniffing again

So you interpret it as P plus five missing letters?

OPP without a question. That song was EVERYWHERE. It bubbled in the streets first then spilled over to radio and MTV/BET. Like @DANJ! said, although Black Sheeps album dropped in 91, the Choice Is Yours became a hit at the top of 92. I know this because I was in the 2nd half of my freshman year in high school, ripping and running the streets. Can't Trust It was bigger then Shut Em Down (OG). Also, I don't see Nice & Smooth Hip Hop junkies on here which was a big song that year.

List them

I Got To Have It by Edo G
Tonight by DJ Quik
Sometimes I Rhyme Slow by Nice and Smooth
Case of the PTA by Leaders of the New School
Just Hanging Out by Main Source

Last two are arguble, first three I got over it easy. But I still love that song and play it all the time.

shyt 25 to Life by D Nice too was my shyt.

I need people to clarify what "best" means because I see people talking about charts and radio rotation....we talking popularity, or what we/our peer group considered the best? Because the two aren't necessarily the same.

Yeah the P was always there...wait

All this time!
