VH1's 100 Greatest Hip-Hop Songs 41-60

Wow! After Tuesday's pretty decent list, VH1 reverted right back to the questionable picks that plagued the first 20 on Monday. I'm not even gonna say anything yet, take a look at this list and if you can't tell which songs stick out like a sour thumb then you're crazy!

60. LL Cool J - I Need Love
59. Ol' Dirty Bastard - Shimmy Shimmy Ya
58. Ludacris Feat. Shawnna - What's Your Fantasy
57. Big Daddy Kane - I Get The Job Done
56. Busta Rhymes - Woo Ha!
55. Terror Squad - Lean Back
54. MC Lyte - Cha Cha Cha
53. The Lox Feat. Lil Kim & DMX - Money, Power, & Respect
52. Foxy Brown Feat. Jay-Z - I'll Be
51. Doug E. Fresh & Slick Rick - The Show
50. Lil Wayne - Tha Block Is Hot
49. Boogie Down Productions - My Philosphy
48. Nas - One Love
47. Young MC - Bust A Move
46. De La Soul - Me, Myself, & I
45. Geto Boys - Mind Playing Tricks
44. Method Man Feat. Mary J. Blige - I'll Be There For You
43. The Game Feat. 50 Cent - Hate It Or Love It
42. Roxanne Shante - Roxanne's Revenge
41. Funky 4 + 1 - That's The Joint

Tha Block Is Hot is over The Show??? These niggas CAN'T be serious! Before we even get into why its bullshit to have Tha Block Is Hot this high, lets tackle why the hell is The Show is in the 50s! Seriously, the 50s??? One of the most classic Hip-Hop songs of all-time is in the freakin' 50s! There's NO reason why this shouldn't have been in the top 20 at least. Now back to Tha Block Is Hot, why is this #50?? Make 'Em Say Ugh is #94, but Tha Block Is Hot is #50?? Tha Block Is Hot wasn't even that big of a hit record back in '99! But now its the 50th greatest Hip-Hop songs?? Please! This Lil Wayne dick riding shit is getting out of control! I have no problem with the song being on the list because I know I loved it back in middle school, but come the fuck on, #50??

The other issue I had with this 20 was Hate It Or Love It all the way up at #43! Forty-fuckin'-three! Who else believe that is the 43rd greatest Hip-Hop song of all-time?? I know I probably couldn't find one person...hell, The Game probably doesn't believe that lol. This was a big record, but it wasn't THAT big. These niggas are insane! Again, I don't have a problem with this being on the list, but definitely not at 43. Maybe 90-somethin', along with Tha Block Is Hot, just not 43.

Sorry, I had to vent a little bit, but I'll be back with the next 20 sometime later depending on what time the debate wraps up.
