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?)

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Thursday, 8 December 2011 08:58 (twelve years ago) link
this list is incredible
― gucc_ebooks (tpp), Thursday, 8 December 2011 10:13 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 8 December 2011 12:22 (twelve years ago) link
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?
― regional pug (dealwithit.gif), Thursday, 8 December 2011 12:40 (twelve years ago) link
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

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

this is like a desert island mix
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 15:02 (twelve years ago) link
they for real put two V.I.C. songs on here
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 15:05 (twelve years ago) link
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?
― Mr. Stevenson #2, Thursday, 8 December 2011 15:07 (twelve years ago) link
you could do a whole other list of 50 songs from when rap was actually treated primarily as dance music
― Mr. Stevenson #2, Thursday, 8 December 2011 15:12 (twelve years ago) link
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
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 15:23 (twelve years ago) link
^^^ OTM

surprised deej hasn't complained about the snubbing of "party rock anthem"
― Mr. Stevenson #2, Thursday, 8 December 2011 16:44 (twelve years ago) link
thats not hip-hop
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:22 (twelve years ago) link
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
