It received a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Performance By a Duo Or Group. Some of the rappers featured on the song include Ice-T, Dr. Dre, J.J. Fad, Digital Underground, Young MC, Tone Loc, MC Hammer, and singer Michel'le.

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.

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.
