This was a good list but no Pac “Keep ya head up” should have made the list. No Nas “NY state of mind”. But at list of only 50 I guess there were many songs that could have been listed.

Maybe because the list is meant to feature influential stuff only?

(having now finished the whole list… aside from that mis-link — wow, what a list, and what great writing! There’s no musician I’d sooner read than Questlove).

I was finding it hard to hear the dancehall reggae ideas in #48 before referring to the list at rolling stone and seeing that it was supposed to be “The Bridge is Over”, not “Jimmy”.

Very rarely do I leave comments on anything, but as soon as I read the comment on the Fresh Prince I had to write something because I thought the same thing when I first heard the song, especially since I was in the Navy at the time and we had just pulled into the Philippines. I just knew it was Eric B. and Rakim.
