Subject to change dependent on mood

This is dreadful – someone has to redress the balance in favour of pimp music, couldnt stick to 10 and could have made 10 lists depending on moods but for overall will go with:
1: Big Pimpin’ – JZ
2: Watch the ice break – Ice T
3: 99 Problems – Ice T (NOT the JZ Version)
4: Hit ‘em up – 2Pac
5: Straight outta Compton – NWA
6: Don’t believe the hype – Public Enemy
7: All about the benjamins – P Diddy
8: It’s Tricky – Run DMC
9: Sobotage – Beastie Boys (Even if only for the video)
10: Doggstyle – Snoop Dogg
11: Paid in Full – Eric B and Rakim

Don’t mind some of the other stuff listed already, but really wanted to strike a blow for those of us not into thirty something guitar music.
Must admit am a HUGE lover of Sheriff Fatman and the Only Living boy in New Cross by Carter USM, I think it is my age! Lots of great Prodigy stuff close to the top 20 - Diesel Power, love that.
Could also make a top 10 of Ben e King, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye and all that stuff - agree.

And, for the bloke who mentioned Andrea Boccelli, saw him last christmas and he is amazing when you're in the same room - even if thats not your kind of music, still cant help but enjoy his talent.

I like 80% of your list, since it's mostly from the era when rap and hip hop was actually good.

Great to see the Beastie Boys in there - I could make a top ten just from their back catalogue, but Sabotage would be no 2; Ill Communication is my personal fave.
