The top 5 hip hop singles OAT 79-89

[BmoreGorilla]

since we been doing a lot of polls lately I feel it’s only reason right to try to narrow down the coli’s top 5 singles oat.

How this’ll work is I’ll pick 15 of the best and/or biggest singles for each decade. Everybody gets 5 votes. After each decade is done I’ll take the top 4 singles al it’s by the coli for each decade and we will narrow those down to the top 5 ever

I added 79 to the 80s poll

Let’s go

I went with Rappers Delight, The Message, Paid In Full, Straight Outta Compton and Children's Story. Before my time so I picked these because I feel they had the most impact on Hip Hop music.

 

[Boonapalist]

1. The Message
2. Sucker Mc’s
3. The Show
4. Rock The Bells
5. Straight Outta Compton
This list is based off the impact and influence I felt from them. Now a favorites list would go like this.

1. Funky Enough
2. Ain’t No Half Steppin
3. Top Billin
4. The Bridge is Over
5. The Symphony

Kinda before my time too. The 90s gonna be tough tho

 

[smokeurobinson]

I said it numerous times. U cant really go past 89 on this site... too many not even born.

 

[FreshAIG]

Paid in Full

Personally tho, My Philosophy

 

[PhonZhi]

Cant even front, 92 is about my cutoff

Slick Rick is probably the earliest rapper i "discovered" the latest in life tho. That dude is amazing

 

[Nero Christ]

would've added The Breaks & Planet Rock...those 2 tracks are more important (or better than some listed)

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

Went with paid in full, half stepping, symphony, top billing, and the message.

Basically went with my favorites.

That said I also think ain't no half stepping is one of the best songs ever

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

[Inspect Her Deck]

Went by personal favourites for the most part but couldn't leave out The Message for obvious reasons.

Only vote for Ain't No Half Steppin'
