I didn’t expect De La Soul to be in the top 2 but definitely not complaining. Imagine if it pulls an underdog win.

Sorry guys, I only marked It Takes Two low because of the sampling and the rap seemingly clashing with eachother when I listened to it. I still liked it, just a stacked list.

Here we go, the final 2... 2. Me Myself & I - De La SoulDe La Soul was formed on Long Island by Kelvin Mercer (Posdnuos), David Jolicoeur (Trugoy The Dove), and Vincent Mason (Maseo), and are part of the collective Native Tongues. Their biggest and most well-known hit came with the 1989 release of "Me Myself & I". It topped the rap, soul and dance charts, and peaked at #34 on the Hot 100. It also hit #1 in The Netherlands. Samples "(Not Just) Knee Deep" by Funkadelic, "Funky Worm" by The Ohio Players, "Rapper Dapper Snapper" by Edwin Birdsong, "The Original Human Beat Box" by Doug E. Fresh, and "Gonna Make You Mine" by Loose Ends. Points: 994 Average: 9.58 Standard Deviation: 9.117 (13th lowest)aerodynamite - 1 dremolus - solarpunk - 2willapted33 - 3 BB🌕 - 3 jtd Thee Stallion - 4 emerald - 4 valleyghost01 - 4 B-Boy - 5 singingrulebritannia - 5 khan - 5 rowellfarm490 - 5 SHOOTER - 5 wrip - 5 wyckyd - 5 American Idiot - 8 Active Aggressive - 9 312999 - 9 Soulsista - 13 beyoncelover - 13 gonecountry - 15 annoymous1 - 16 #LisaRinna - 24 chanman - 32 🇯🇲 lucy88 🇯🇲 - 35 Observingsamo🦕mamooshkaKelly's 10th Fan
And the #1...only two people had this outside their Top 10! As a result, it has the lowest SD. 1. The Message - Grandmaster Flash & The Furious FiveThey were formed in The Bronx by Grandmaster Flash (Joseph Saddler), Melle Mel (Melvin Glover), Kidd Creole (Nathaniel Glover), Keef Cowboy (Robert Wiggins), Scorpio, and Rahiem. They're best known for their 1982 single "The Message". With raps by Melle Mel and Duke Bootee (Edward Fletcher), it peaked at #4 on the soul chart and was one of the first socially conscious hip hop songs. It was later sampled in the remix to Ice Cube's "Check Yo Self" and in Puff Daddy's "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down". Duke Bootee passed away in 2021 from congestive heart failure. Interesting note: Keef Cowboy is often credited with coining the term "hip hop". He died from a drug overdose in 1989. Congrats to dremolus - solarpunk for scoring a perfect Top 2!

Sorry Ice Cube, Puff Daddy/P Diddy, and now Coi Leray, but nothing tops the original.

Geez I didn't expect quite that level of domination, but it's cool to see them take it! De La Soul also super deserve to be in the top two. I just wish Queen Latifah could've made top ten. In any case, I'm super excited to see the next round!
