VH1's 100 Greatest Hip Hop Songs

VH1 recently released their list of the 100 Greatest Hip Hop Songs . Which song topped the list? Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power” stole the number one spot. The runner up song was “Rapper’s Delight” by the Sugarhill Gang. Dr. Dre’s “Nothin But a ‘G’ Thang” came in third.

As a tribute to the list’s number one spot, I thought I should put up the video for Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power.” Enjoy!

Read the top ten songs after the jump!

List of VH1’s Top Ten:

1. Public Enemy – “Fight The Power”

2. Sugarhill Gang – “Rapper’s Delight”

3. Dr. Dre – “Nuthin But A ‘G’ Thang”

4. Run-DMC ft. Aerosmith – “Walk This Way”
