89. We Trying To Stay Alive - Wyclef JeanBorn in Haiti, Nel Ust Wyclef Jean was named after biblical scholar John Wycliffe. He rose to prominence as a member of the Fugees with Pras Michel and Lauryn Hill. After they went their separate ways Wyclef released his solo debut album The Carnival in 1997. The first single, "We Trying To Stay Alive", features Pras and John Forté. It peaked at #3 on the rap chart and #14 on the R&B chart, and samples "Stayin' Alive" by The Bee Gees and "Top Billin'" by Audio Two. While the use of "Stayin' Alive" was approved, The Bee Gees were not a fan of the song.

Bye Bye Tootsie Corn and Wyclef's wack ass! I actually was afraid Wyclef would make it higher. Meanwhile, I forgot about Same Gang but how could I with Michel'le's quivering, high voice at the end of the chorus. Iconic.

85. Real Muthaphuckkin G's - Eazy-EAfter Dr. Dre left N.W.A and helped form Death Row Records, he recorded a diss track with Snoop Dogg aimed at Eazy-E titled "F**k Wit Dre Day". Eazy-E responded with the EP It's On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa. The lead single, "Real Muthaphuckkin G's", features Gangsta Dresta and B.G. Knocc Out. Dresta wrote the song after Eazy told him stories about Dre, and Knocc Out later added a verse. Released in 1993 (with the radio edit titled "Real Compton City G's"), it peaked at #2 on the rap chart and #12 on the R&B chart. Eazy-E was later diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 1995, and passed away from AIDS-induced pneumonia a month later.

Good beat and flows, but the disses Eazy-E chose to make aged brutally

random thought but, as good as this list was, there were still some curious omissions. I know picking for a rankdown like this is super-tough, but like...just to narrow it down to a few big examples: no offense to Heavy D & The Boyz and Kid N' Play, I don't think either deserved a second song in this series while Gang Starr and Big L have none. It was also shocking to not see any Mos Def for this decade, but I guess he does have some worthwhile 2000s options, so perhaps he's being saved for the next rankdown? No "93 'Til Infinity" was disappointing too, although the song has already been ranked a couple times so that's not the worst thing in the world.

Still no complaints about songs that've gone out though I am actually surprised Mr. Wendel was out early. I'm not as down on Arrested Development as other people but I'd be lying if the criticism they were toothless and soft, even compared to other lowkey acts like Tribe or De La Soul, wasn't warranted. If the song to represent them was Everyday People, I'd rank them much higher.
The verses in We're All In The Same Gang are actually pretty good , it's just a bit hard to take seriously knowing half of the people in the song would go on to make diss tracks at each other.
Tootsee Roll is something I'd normally find annoying but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have fun. It's still stupid as well but eh, if it came on at a party, it'dbe hype

His lyricism may be kinda corny with the constant references, but that sample carries this song.

You know, I was just about to say that I haven't lost anything in my Top 50 except for Ice Ice Baby and now it's a bloodbath. Two back to back great losses and Ditty is an absolute classic. That song was everything to me. I'm actually sad about this.
