VH1’s 100 Greatest Hip Hop Songs
September 26, 2008 by Jyle
VH1 recently released their list of the 100 Greatest Hip Hop Songs . Which song topped the list? Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power” stole the number one spot. The runner up song was “Rapper’s Delight” by the Sugarhill Gang. Dr. Dre’s “Nothin But a ‘G’ Thang” came in third.
As a tribute to the list’s number one spot, I thought I should put up the video for Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power.” Enjoy!
