Top 10 Rap/Hip-Hop songs of the last decade!

[Night Stalker]

I don't recall making such a post, and even if so.. music "should" not be that bad for people to get exposed to it again or for the first time if they missed previous ramblings

its so sad to see what the genre has ended up with.. and most people have only been exposed to scum like 50 cent/ lil wayne etc.. type of absolute dross.

listen to these NS classics and even if u didn't like the genre, i hope u would still recognize the difference, like a non arabic music listener would differentiate Fairuz from Elisa.


here comes my casual top 10 list in no order:

1) Bone Thugs n Harmony, First of the Month (a whole GENERATION woke up to this song).
