VLAD TV's 50 greatest hip-hop dance songs

man, i'm going to be mad when we get out of the sandbox & this thread is lost

are we voting best or worst?

best obv

but you should also consider the dance as well as the song in your calculations (videos available at the link)

Let's Get It is a dance song???? The 8th greatest in hiphop? I guess it is one of thousands of records from the time that had kids dance in the vid (you'd pick Work It, wouldn't you?)

screw it im bored and have nothing to do for another two hours. lets liveblog these vids.

Beat Gang - Mr.Miyagi

The girls in the video aren't dancing, they are washing cars. They look hot doing it because they are attractive girls in bikinis and soap.

The guys in the video are rubbing up against fences, childrens slides and thin air. They look genuinely creepy. If you tried this move in a club you'd look the same, except you'd end up hitting a girl in the nose.

0/10

Hurricane Chris - Halle Berry (She's Fine)

Song is p fun, girl in the vid looks like Nicki before she went full-Gaga, the dance move seems to be the Vince McMahon strut and then to pretend you are checking yourself out in a mirror. Which is a stupid dance.

4/10

the harlem shake is the dance that ppl introduced to the world thru that video afaik

its a p fun dance tbh

V.I.C - Get Silly

Remember rolling ringtone? Good times. Wonder how much making a shitty soulja boy rip off made him.

The dance? It looks like a bit toned down for most hiphop vid dancing. Only thing 'silly' is one dude pokes his tongue out.

Maybe its because of the shitty youtube quality but Collipark seems to ring up Soulja Boy during the song, bored of it obv, to shout "you and the faggot don't slap on the beat... i'm tired of slapping these balls around hah". Which... I don't even...

1/10

oh ok, i guess i didn't know that was the first of 1000s. it was a more innocent time, pre-youtube, where we may not have got all vids at the same time across teh pond.

Kris Kross - Jump

This has always been lame but lame for 92 is dope compared to the last three songs. This reminds me though... WHERE THE SHIT IS ONYX 'SLAM' or 'JUMP AROUND'*?

6/10

*Ok another oversight of my rap history, Kris Kross did come before House of Pain! I always thought it was Dupri cashing in, not the other way around.

DJ Webstar - 5000 Dance

Mostly a hype track based around people shouting out over dance moves. So it doesn't have its own dance move but it is fun, video is ghetto as f and has some nice dancing and would be fun to hear in a club.

7/10

I GOT 32 FLAVOURS OF THAT BOOTYLICIOUS BUBBLEGUM
RASPBERRY, GRAPE, CHERRY, COME AND GET THIS HONEYBUN

voting crime mob

Lil Mama - G Slide

Video starts as some twee shit, then turns into a Lacoste commercial, and then a L'Oriel commercial... in fact they seem to just slide between different things to sell.

-2/10

E-40 ft. Keak Da Sneak - Tell Em When To Go

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GZbaXdK8Js

GHOSTRIDE TEH WHIP

10/10

Have to decide between this and Humpty to vote for.

borrring

V.I.C - Wobble

V.I.C.'s second song. Totally worth keeping out ANYTHING pre-1990 or the proper WOBBLE WOBBLE by 504 Boyz for legendary hip-hop artist V.I.C.. Seems to be about encouraging fat girls to dance and also looking like when old people temporary lose any power in their arms.

0/10

Since I mentioned it, a song better than any of the ones in the list.

B-Hamp - Do The Ricky Bobby

Has an actual dance routine! I mean it is stolen from a gash movie and the song is equally shit, but it is nice to see someone actually thinking about dancing in a dance song list.

3/10

Young B - Can You Dance (Get Lite)

Vid is not on youtube, so instead I watched some kids who looked like the token black kids of Glee or some other lame shit dance to it. Just looks like the kids from the G-Dep vid grew up to go to dance school.

Song is indistinguishable (i must have spelt that wrong) from the 80% of the list.

2/10

already i want to kill myself. i'm giving up and going to listen to a no limit tape.

the nl 'wobble wobble' is dope it must be said

this list is incredible

If someone wants to post a gif for every song on the list I'm happy to vote on the dance alone without listening to any of the music.

I'm not gonna click through all of these but

5) 2 Live Crew - Doo Doo Brown

Did Vlad TV really call 2 Hyped Brothers & A Dog 2 Live Crew? Or are they calling Luke's "I Wanna Rock" "Doo Doo Brown?"

Did they pull this list from mistagged Napster files?

haha yeah that confused me

yesterday when i first saw this list on twitter, i want to just do every 'greatest hip hop ______ ever' listicle possible just to get to it before VladTV does their version and shits the bed

I SAID on twitter, i mean

lol @ "Stanky Legg" being #4 while, like, "Da Dip" is #40

I love most if not all of these though

lol @ "Stanky Legg" being #4 while, like, "Da Dip" is #40

otm

I am not gonna like, I love "Wobble" (song and dance)

er, not gonna LIE

No Salt Shaker huh?

this list is incredible

i seriously can't even vote in this

this is like a desert island mix

they for real put two V.I.C. songs on here

lot of choices are seriously weird, though. multiple DJ Unk songs, and instead of "Apache" a forgettable later Sir Mix-A-Lot single that remade it?

you could do a whole other list of 50 songs from when rap was actually treated primarily as dance music

yeah it's weird like, i'd either make the whole list ringsnap bullshit or like classic rap dance songs

i mean if you rate "cat daddy" over "da dip" and "c'mon ride the train" i think you should actually be killed

^^^ OTM

this list deserves to be in a musuem of modern times

surprised deej hasn't complained about the snubbing of "party rock anthem"

thats not hip-hop

i like that they aimed for a more modern look (or hired a 22 year old to compile it, either way)

#2 is by far the weirdest finisher. maybe chris brown put it together

can't in good conscience vote for anything other than Humpty

lol why am I considering voting "Toot It and Boot It"

this needs a zip file, organized by year

da dip being so damn low is my biggest complain. switch that & the cat daddy song & its a bit better

*complaint

na na na na na-na-na
na na na na na-na
getting jiggy with it

I love most if not all of these though

^^^^^^^^^^^

Yeah cant front, would be cool to poll an all pre-2000 version though.

pre-2007 version

seriously, though, what YouTube do they actually link to for number 5

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

most boring result ever

8 votes is pretty low

honestly had no idea that the Cabbage Patch (one of the few dance moves I know how to do) actually originated with a specific song

Forgot to vote, should re-poll it when ilx gets back up.
