When I hosted my first hip hop personal rankdown in 2018, this forum knew diddly squat about the genre, especially about anything pre-2000s. Now, 4 years later, I would assert that the average forum user has much more of an understanding about where things started, who's who, and what's hot. So, in finally returning to rap for another personal rankdown, I don't feel like I need to make statements and educate folks with the song/artist selection anymore. I'm free to just serve you up a collection of bangers to listen to.
Acquaint yourself with these songs thoroughly, then PM me your ranking of all of them from favorite (#1) to least favorite (#46). Leave the artist names in or not, either way is fine, but please make sure your artist names/titles are typed the same way they are in this opening post. Whether you number your list or not is up to you. After sending your list, you may make changes to your ranks as long as you do so before the deadline. Results are determined by adding up each person's ranks for each song; the song with the least points wins.
