Favorite Hip Hop Songs Of All Time

LL Cool J has probably remained relevant for more years than than any other hip hop artist. Here is a short clip of his film debut in the movie Krush Groove. The year was 1985. At the time he was 17 years old just starting his rap career. I believe he released his first album that same year 1985.

"Around The Way Girl'' was a good song. The album/CD that song came from was also pretty good. I seemed to remember "Around The Way Girl" coming out somewhere around the year 1990.

"La Di Da Di" by (Slick Rick & Doug E Fresh)

"The Message" by (Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five)

Here's one I recently have been digging.

This song was taken from the old television show "The Beverly Hill Billies". The actual lyrics have been changed and modified. They fused three genres of music. Jazz, Blue Grass, and Hip Hop. It's an unusual musical blending, but it worked.



"Ballad Of Jed Clampett" by (Bella Fleck And The Flecktones)

Of course, one of the greatest classics.

I don't know about that song and your video is not loading for me, but the main sample in that track is from the instrumental piano piece by Galt MacDermot - Coffee Cold.

"I.O.U." by (Freeez)

"Numbers/Computer World" by (Kraftwerk)

Hi Real Music! Maybe you can tell me what is the song I've searching for a long time ago. I too is from the very early years of hip hop. When I heard it I didn't speak English at all (and even now not perfectly), therefore the lyrics I can present is quite nonsense but maybe you (or anybody else) can recognize it. So:
"Listen to to the sing you're right, listen to the check it outside!"

I need more clues:
Is it a single rapper, duo, or group?
Are they female or male rappers?
Do you know any lines or phrases in the song that repeats itself?
Do you have any idea of the year the song came out?

Thanks for your trying to help. These are two guys, one of them in red gear (red baseball hat too) in the video, and with a stout build. There was nothing else in the video which I remember, just they and the mike. The quoted part was the chorus part, a sung part (with a female voice, maybe). Unfortunately I can't take it down. (Nothing else part I can remember, only scratched "listen to, listen to.") I saw it in the 90's ,in a Yo! MTV Raps weekend, in which the clips went in chronological order. It was one of the first third video, so it must have been one of the earliest classics. And yes, it was very cool, like a real classic of the old times.

"Rock Dis Funky Joint" by (The Poor Righteous Teachers)

Here are some songs again from my favourite artists, whose were written on my first list too. But while those songs were more or less known ones, these ones are much less known. However these ones are not at all worse, not even a bit.

Black Sheep: B.B.S.
De La Soul: Brakes
Digable Planets: Where I’m From
Fugees: Nappy Heads
Ice Cube: 24 with an L
Salt ’N’ Pepa: Shake Your Thang

"My Mind Is Playing Tricks On Me" by (Geto Boys)

"My Posse On Broadway" by (Sir Mix A Lot)

Yes, I am familiar with all of these groups. I am familiar with only one of the songs. I know the Salt N Pepa song "Shake Your Thang". That particular song also incorporates the music genre Go Go Funk which is based out of the Washington DC area. One popular Go Go Funk song you may be familiar with was "Da Butt" by EU. There were other Go Go Funk Groups such as Trouble Funk. Also the godfather of Go Go Funk (Chuck Brown).

Here is another hip hop song that incorporates and infuses the musical genre of Go Go Funk with hip hop.. You might know this song. It's called "Rolling With Kid N Play" by (Kid N Play)

A Fly Girl

If you like the song "A Fly Girl" by (The Boogie Boys), you definitely know your old school hip hop. Check out my first few post on this tread. I think you will definitely like the songs I posted. Especially the songs I posted when I first started this tread.
