''i threw a rock and i ran (i threw Iraq and Iran). So dont ask me who's sane (so dont ask me Hussain) so sick..

Just a bunch of fucking hipsters on these comments, but this song is amazing no doubt.

As i posted before though I would add Let the Rhythm Hit Em by Rakim in that top 5 somewhere...his lyrics and flow are literally like heavy artillery, and that Paul C beat gottdamnn idk how he took that Commodores drumbreak from back in the day and mixed it the right way...so hard!!!

@shsfootball54 No doubt those songs are great and true staples of hip-hop, influential to the genre and all...but my list is not taking into account what impact they had. Protect Ya Neck in my mind is the best ever cuz a track to have 8 or 9 emcees with completely different styles spitting the illest and grimiest lyrics ever over a beat that is so layered and menacing and unpredictable....I cant say enough about the song
-
@premier46 Damn, that's a solid list, but I would take The World is Yours instead of NY State of Mind and C.R.E.A.M. instead of Protect Ya Neck. I just think that those are the two strongest tracks off of Illmatic and 36 Chambers, respectively.

I threw a rock and i ran !!!!!!!!!!!!

I was bumping this album last weekend. Still sounds dope.
-
and the reason they didnt release more albums is because they didnt get the credit they deserved...AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
I wanna hear Prince Po, Percee P and Pharoahe Monch all on a track together.

Bitch Titties this is gold



Thank god for DJ Shadow. If I hadn't looked up the track he sampled i would never have found this.... some of the sickest bars i've ever heard

4. Releasing Hypnotical Gases
3. Shut Em Down (Pete Rock Mixx)
