While I was watching VH1's 40 Greatest Hip Hop Songs from the 90's, my brother called me in a rather irate tone and said: "This list should've been a 100 songs not 40!"
He was absolutely right.
Because VH1 has sold their soul to show fighting Mob/Hip Hop/B-Ball ex-wives, gal pals and groupies, that leaves less time for music.
However, at least VH1 still has faint musically pulse left.
In years past, the countdown probably would have been 100 and shown throughout the week, (but at this juncture, I'll take the two hours of the 4)0.
Of course with any list, there will be songs that shouldn't be on there, songs that should be on there and songs that are misplaced, (I love Biggie's "Juicy", but its not the greatest Hip Hop song of the 90's). So below are a list of songs that I thought could've and at times should made their Top 40.
Of course the next debate would be, what songs do you take off to be any of these songs on?
Who knows?
But a healthy debate on music is always great regardless of who's in and who's out.
So as Bane win "The Dark Knight Rises" would say "Let The Games Begin"!
