Of All Time? 01. I Used to Love H.E.R. by Common on The Resurrection because it's an ode to Hip Hop. 02. Rapper's Delight by The Sugar Hill Gang on The Sugar Hill Gang, because it was first Hip Hop song on the radio. 03. The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five on The Message, because it teaches you about Hip Hop's culture. 04. Dear Mama by 2Pac on Me Against the World, because it's the greatest tribute to a mother. 05. Lyrics of Fury by Eric B. & Rakim on Follow the Leader, because it is the most lyrical song I've ever heard. 06. They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.) by Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth on Mecca and the Soul Brother, because it is the best tribute song in all genres of music. 07. The World Is Yours by Nas on Illmatic, because it tells you you can do anything (pretty much a grown up version of I Can). 08. Top Billin' by Audio Two on What More Can I Say?, because it's the most name checked rap attack ever. 09. Fight the Power by Public Enemy on Fear of a Black Planet, because a revolution was never decribed in better words. 10. Planet Rock by Afrioka Bambaataa on Planet Rock: The Album, because it gave birth to Electro Hip Hop. I just heard half of them this year so it might be a little off, but I told you why I love them so much, so I hope it gets best answer.
