Rolling Stone's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time

[George's Dilemma]

Fight the Power ain't even PE's best song but is number 2 and that should tell you everything you need to know about this list. Agendas.

Fight the Power usually shows up on all time lists so thats the one I got no problem with

What number is Drake?

 

[puppetmaster]

In the air tonight is way too low on this list. List should bring some interesting discussion if nothing else

 

[FreshAIG]

List is awful

 

[Apollo Creed]

If Tear da club up 97 isnt on here this list needs to be bushed

 

[sayyestothis]

LOL at deliberately not bolding any of Drakes songs

 

[JustCKing]

This list would be much better if they didn't rank them. It should also be "500 Greatest Singles of All Time". I didn't really read all 500, but Gospel is absent on this list. Can't make a list like this and exclude Gospel.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Cheap attempt to go viral. I’m good

 

[ThisIsLife]

Another year, another bullshyt list by wyte ppl.

What's new?

Don't take this list serious lol...

 

[jaguar paw]

These lists are only created to generate outrage and conversation.

Ignore them

 

[Low End Derrick]

Some of my favorite songs are on this list, but . "Get Ur Freak On" at #8 and I think highly of that song. "Hey Ya" is the worst song Kast ever made and one of the few wack songs in their catalog. "Runaway" at #25? Better songs on MBDTF and "Power" was far moreimpac6ful, but nothing Top 25 worthy. I could go on.

Runaway is a masterpiece. They got that one right.

These lists are bullshyt. Dreams and nightmares is a song ppl quote word for word. I doubt there's one fukking Lizzo song a room of random Black folk are quoting word for word, so why is she on this list?
Not one Nas song on here?
50 year old White men and women made this list.

Who Voted for the 500 Greatest Songs?

9th Wonder, El-P, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels and Pharoahe Monch really should've known better.

What number is Drake?

373 Hotline Bling Drake 2015
267 Take Care Drake 2011
129 Hold On We’re Going Home Drake 2013

LOL at deliberately not bolding any of Drakes songs

None of the Drake songs on that list are rap songs

Drake didn't crack the Top 100? Wow.

Runaway is a masterpiece. They got that one right.

A lot of the songs on the list are masterpieces. "Runaway" top 25 songs ever created is egregious. That song would barely make Top 25 Kanye songs:

Jesus Walks
All Falls Down
Never Let Me Down
Can't Tell Me Nothin
Heard Em Say
Touch The Sky
Roses
Crack Music
Gone
Late
Heartless
Welcome To Heartbreak
No Church In The Wild
Murder To Excellence
So Appalled
Monster
Devil In A New Dress
Blood On The Leaves
Good Life
Power
Family Business
Last Call
Stronger
Flashing Lights
Good Morning

I'm actually insulted the more I think about it. This is what they think of hip-hop music, folks.
