Billboard "Hot Rap Songs" Polygraph is brilliant (MUST SEE)

[SunZoo]

Definitely.

To keep it a stack with nikkas, he was one of my favorite rappers growing up. I got onto LL right around the 4,3,2,1 era

First rapper I ever stanned.

dude said before that this is some kind of different chart by Billboard? maybe that's true, i would never have guessed some of those went to #1 like Pushin Weight by Ice Cube, as brief as it was lol

Hiphop use to be so good, what the fck happened?

yeah Ghetto Cowboy by Mo Thugs, with all due respect to my midwest brehs and I'm a huge Bone Thugs fan, was not burning up the streets and much hotter than the winter X, Jay, Red, Meth, Juvi and Busta were killing it with tracks. Its just ONE chart with one criteria.

Good thread. I Bet if it wasnt a @SirBiatch thread people wouldnt be talking so much shyt lol

Bad Boy's reign was when i started to really listen to music on my own. they had radio on LOCK in 97...then 98 X and Jigga came thru and crushed the buildings.

This was interesting and a fun listen...

• LL Cool J needs more love
• The Puff era was serious business
• Nelly and Lil Bow wow found a formula that kept them at the top
• 50 Cent couldn't lose
• The Drakeover is real
• Eminem's top songs are all trash
• 2014 was TERRIBLE for hip hop
• Pitbull needs to GTFOH
• Needs more westcoast, and I'm shocked by that

The difference is that nobody took Tootsie Roll seriously. Nobody could even tell you who was in the group. Maybe that shyt was big in the clubs? I was too young.

i know a lot of these we're only big on the radio. its like hit the quan was probably going up against some j cole song for number 1

but its funny to see what songs were released around the same time and what was fighting in the charts at the time

 

[Drew Wonder]

@SirBiatch Good find, definitely interesting to hear. Songs that I thought would be number one weren't even in the top 10 and there were a couple joints I've never even heard of that were number one.

The amount of Iggy and Pitbull songs at the end were depressing as hell

 

[smokeurobinson]

cool

 

[Drew Wonder]

This definitely left me confused as hell regarding whether or not it was an actual indicator of what was hot in hip hop and not pop at the time. Like they'd have a Public Enemy, Main Source, EPMD song at number one but then they'd have Vanilla Ice, Rico Suave and those "I Got the Power" house/techno dudes

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

I remember Tootsie Roll as a kid, they used to play it at dances and house parties

Never would have that it was an actual number one single
