50 Years Of Hip Hop: The Rankdown Part 3 (COMPLETE)

[SHOOTER]

Another song I expected to die swiftly but, also, one of Pitbull's actually good (or tolerable) singles.

[🇯🇲 dollybaby 🇯🇲]

A Bay Bay was a bop, tho. 😎 Really takes me back to the ring tone era.

This Is Why I'm Hot is a good example of why you should kill your untalented kid's dreams early and redirect them towards a more productive path.

She’s better in the featured songs like Stand Up for example, but this song is a huge mess.

[B-Boy]

This song had me in a chokehold back in 2006. That Too $hort sample is infectious, even on the clean version. And I love Shawnna’s attitude on the second verse.

[Soulsista]

[312999]

Honestly she should have.

[beyoncelover]

100. Souljas - Master P: Oh yikes at this song having most of its rankings in the Bottom 4 spots and no rankings in the Top 70 from anyone. I never saw a song do this bad before. This was my #97 so I don't mind this ranking. I honestly forgot about this song but I didn't care for this.

99. A Bay Bay - Hurricane Chris: On one hand, dangg that this couldn't be last so I could have gotten a perfect ranking for this. But on the other hand, glad that this came in at #99 and didn't overstay its welcome. This song was my easy #100. It seriously irked and annoyed me and I simply just couldn't stand it. Yayy for so many Bottom 10 rankings - and an especially big yayy to Soulsista, American Idiot and rowellfarm490 for all ranking this last... and yess at 4 #100 rankings!

98. Whistle While You Twurk - Ying Yang Twins: A fun and enjoyable enough song that I ranked at #91. This isn't really a favorite of mine or anything. I would have preferred having Shake," "Salt Shaker" or "Wait (the Whisper Song)" to represent them here as I would have ranked this higher. But not mad at this ranking.

97. Money In The Bank - Swizz Beatz: Wow yesss I am getting these Bottom 10s out of the way so quickly... loving it! This was my #92. It's an alright song but not a favorite of mine. However, I really love "It's Me Snithces" and if that was here, I would have ranked that one so much higher.

96. Krazy - Pitbull feat. Lil Jon: Aww nooo, my Bottom 10 streak comes to an end but oh well. This was my #77, so not a major loss. This is a really fun and catchy jam though. With Pitbull, I would have really loved "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" as that was my favorite from him (for this decade). I also wouldn't have minded "Ay Chico (Lengua Afuera)" being here either.

95. This Is Why I'm Hot - MIMS: Ugh nooo, this is by far my biggest loss yet. :'( This was my #37 and this is a jam that I do really like a lot. Love the beat/vibe of this and enjoyed MIMS rapping on this. Wish this could have ranked higher but oh well. Yay to 🇯🇲 lucy88 🇯🇲 -for also ranking this at #37 too.

94. Wobble Wobble - 504 Boyz: I feel like I have been hearing this song in so many rankdowns in here, lol. This is my #88. It's alright and a fun jam. It's got that good dance/jamming feel to it, but it's not really a favorite of mine. But it's one of those songs that kinda grows on me the more I hear it.

93. Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It - Dem Franchize Boyz feat. Peanut & Charlay: Ooh I thought I ranked this higher than #62, but guess not, lol.. This is a really fun jam and I do really like this song. So fun to dance and jam along to, haha.

92. Sexy Lady - Yung Berg: Oooh noooo, ugh this is an even bigger and major loss for me here.... my #21 goes down already. :'( Dangg, I can get that this isn't really well liked. But I've always really loved this song and it's such a great and catchy jam. Happy that there was at least one other Top 50 rank for this. Yung Berg was on a roll with a string of hits with this song, "Sexy Can I" and "The Business," all of which I really love. I have no idea what happened to him after those songs. Oh and I had no idea he goes by Hitmaka but that's fun to learn.

91. There It Go (The Whistle Song) - Juelz Santana: Ooh this is another song that I know that doesn't do well here so I didn't have expectations for this to do well here, lol. I do really like this enough to rank it at #59. This is a really cool, fun jam and I just really enjoy the sound of it.

85. Holla At Me - DJ Khaled

Finally some of the bottom feeders are out of here. This was a really difficult rankdown for me, as I don't really care about probably at least half of the songs, LOL. It's also the first rankdown (I think) where I didn't make any edits after I ran the songs through Preference Revealer, so I forget where some of choices ended up, but I'm pretty happy with the results so far. Purple Pills went out too early, but I knew people would trash it. I wouldn't expect D12 to be that big here.

Poor milk, hadn’t lost any top half ranks then loses his 1 right away.

Meanwhile, I would have said strange song to have at 1 but I like the song too and wish it was higher. I only found out the chorus was sampled last year.
