    Best Hip-Hop song of 1986 would be "Eric B. Is President" Runner ups would be "My Adidas" "Make The Music With Your Mouth Biz" or cuts from The Beastie Boys LP or Doug E. Fresh LP from 86.
    You have some pretty suspect selections for "The best" hip-hop song of the year for most of the years you listed. The Quasimoto, RJD2, Wildchild(?) and Madvillain do not belong on the list. Plaese to get serious like Steady B.

    Thanks, since I allready have Erik B and Rakim in 1987 I will take RUN DMC for 1986.
    From 2000 on I am quite unsure what to take. The Wildchild Track is Fire (Madlib production at his best & Percee P) I don't know any better track for 2002. But since there are 4 Stones Throw releases and three Madlib productions from 2000 - 2004 I think I should change someting. So what to take from 2000 till 2005???

  • So what to take from 2000 till 2005???

    2000 = JUVENILE "BACK THAT ASS UP"

    Soulstrut general consensus points to Stay Fly for 2005.

    I think you picked a tough mix to do, because essentially, what was good in the mid 90's is very different from the late 90's and 2000's. I mean your mix has continuity because all of the shit you picked from 1999 on has kind of a throw back style. I mean trying to sum up a whole year with one song is kind of crazy and you have some big gaps. No Dre, Timberland, or Neptunes. Also where the hell is BIG.

    Did you spend four whole years on the Stones Throw messageboard without going outside?

    I wish I would have seen this when you first posted it. I would have helped you delete it. You are about to enter a world of humiliation.

    I can't wait to hear the mix.

    This is pretty funny.

    I like that Copywrite is on the best rap song of 2001.

    can't you go to, like, billboard.com and just pick out the #1 song from each year? that would make the decision process much easier.

    Or pick up 200th Edition of The Source.

    There is no "BEST" song for these years. Top 5-10 maybe, but u cant narrow any year down to one song, especially in HIPHOP.

  • You are right, actually I didn't meant "best" but rather a song which represents the respective year. Now I made some changes:


    1986 Run DMC - My Adidas
    1987 Eric B and Rakim - Paid in full
    1988 EPMD - Strictly Business
    1989 De La Soul - Buddy (w- Jungle Brothers & Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest)
    1990 Brand Nubian - Slow Down
    1991 Lord Finesse, Big L, Percee P - Yes you May (Remix)
    1992 Pete Rock and CL Smooth - They Reminisce Over You
    1993 Wu-Tang Clan - Da Mystery of Chessboxing
    1994 Nas - Memory Lane
    1995 Showbiz & AG - Next level
    1996 Jay Z - Dead Presidents 2
    1997 Common Sense - Reminding Me
    1998 Gang Starr - What i'm here 4
    1999 Mos Def - Ms. Fat Booty
    2000 Eminem - Stan
    2001 Gorillaz feat Del - Clint Eastwood
    2002 Missy - Work it
    2003 Snoop Dogg ft. Pharell - Beautiful
    2004 Outkast - Hey Ha
    2005 The Game - Hate It Or Love It
