the #1 is a shocker....weak.

the top50 hiphop trax list was pretty good...although a lot of them are interchangeable...

picking a top10 beastie list is challenging, but it would have to include: shadrach, makin with the freak freak, flute loop, posse in effect, nonstop disco powerpack, pass the mic...i wouldn't include FFYR or Sabotage....Sabotage is just a more mature version of FFYR

I can't read anything from RS bc for whatever reason it's blocked in this country. Mind putting the top 50 up?

Also, I was wanting to add that Shadrach is one of my favorites as well. BBMwtFF had been set as my phone message tone all the way up til I changed over and can't use it on the phone I have now. And Car Thief has been my ring tone for around 7 years now. Never gets old.

Genius commentary

Really? There are probably plenty of songs that could come in at #1.
But the Message is as good as any of them IMO

I meant Sabotage being #1 for Beasties.

Oh I see. Yeah, that is weak to put that at #1.

Actually I prefer the album version that opens up Check Your Head. Probably in the minority on that one, but what are ya gonna do, right?
