The Source Presents: Hip Hop Hits, Vol. 4 Poll

it's so hard

This compilation is packed tighter with hits than hoochies in front of the stage at a Cash Money concert. Which makes sense because tastemaking mag The Source enforces hip-hop's chart hegemony through its corporate-controlled coverage--with one notable exception: the Made Men. This Boston-based crew are old pals of David Mays (The Source's publisher) and have been shamelessly supported by said mag for years in spite of their minimal talent. Nepotism, anyone? Fortunately, they don't seem to be getting anywhere, except onto this compilation. Aside from their suspicious inclusion, all the usual Billboard suspects are here, from agitated one-note barker DMX to whiny whitey Eminem. Guilty pleasures like Shyne's incriminating "Bad Boyz" and the Three 6 Mafia's neo-Funky Cold Medina "Sippin' on Some Syrup" share space with two (count 'em) decent tracks: Common's "The Light" and De La Soul's "Oooh." -- Ned Raggett, All Music Guide

Made Men

haha xp

i went w/ "shut up"

i actually voted 3-6

i had the wobble wobble cd single!! bought on a field trip to greenville SC

just the idea that a song called "Holla Back (Holla Boston)" made this comp is lol.

Fortunately, they don't seem to be getting anywhere, except onto this compilation.

zing!

#1 stunna needs to be top 3

Ned is right about Bad Boyz being a standout too

no so right about DMX, though

not*

haha i forgot about the #1 stunna video w/steve harvey

"James Bond, Jackie Chan, and that bitch, MacGyver"

party up isn't a standout??? xp

WHEN THE LIGHT HIT THE ICE IT TWANKLE AND GLISTEN

comp is so amazing we got this far in the thread w/o mentioning the next episode !!

"James Bond, Jackie Chan, and that bitch, MacGyver"

"party up" is a stoundout, xxpost.

from agitated one-note barker DMX

that sounded w/ negative connotation to me.

"#1 Stunna" is the apex of cash money videos, i think. isn't the video just mannie fresh doing donuts in a lamborghini w/ the driver's door up for like 4 minutes?

yr probably thinking of 'get your roll on'

i was looking at the tracklistings of the other vol's of this, i used to have #3 ... and thats really the only one that is near 4

flashback to the da brat video w/the gold bikini

"i like it when you touch my privacy"

Nobody likes Eminem anymore.

i know someone who would like a word with you

I went with "Bad Boyz," but pretty much all of these songs are great... if "I Stay Fly" was there instead of "#1 Stunna" I probably would've voted for that

"Still Fly," I mean*

i went instinctive and seem to have clicked country grammar

the next episode

YOU KNOW WHO'S BACK UP IN THIS MOTHERFUCKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR (MOTHERFUCK MOTHERFUCK MOTHERFUCK)

altho number one stunna is a fucking classic

Next Episode is flawless art for the ages.

Voted "The Light," but this is a seriously solid comp.

almost did the same, but then i saw "next episode" on the list.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

country grammar for me. but if de la doesn't get any votes i'll wish i voted for that. awesome poll, so many great songs, was tough.

if you have parties or like to ride in cars ever you should know you can get this cd on half.com for 49 cents

benzino's gotta pay the rent somehow.

Almost voted Benzino on principle/lolz, and could've easily gone with "It's So Hard" (IMO best posthumous rap video ever) or a couple others, but "Shut Up" hasn't gotten any mentions yet so I went with that.

I don't even remember the LL Cool J song on this. Was it a loverman song or a hardcore posse cut?

STL 4EVER!!!

i just cued up all of these, in order, on utub, and i have to go with dre! it's the deet deet deet bit on the track, i can't get over how great that is. and nate dogg.

4. Wobble Wobble - 504 Boyz - will get 0 votes (unfair)
9. Imagine That - LL Cool J - will get 0 votes (no idea, probably fair, wtf song was this???)
10. The Real Slim Shady - Eminem - will get ... two votes (about right)
13. Holla Back (Holla Boston) - Made Men - will get 1-2 lolvotes
15. No Matter What They Say - Lil' Kim - will get 2-3 votes
16. Y.O.U. - Method Man/Redman - will get 0 votes
17. What'Chu Like - Da Brat - will get 0-1 votes

of course, now that i've predicted this someone can throw it off by voting to contradict

shut up video w/ trick, marching band and edgerrin james mugging it up in the orange bowl
plz come back rap videos from 2000.

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

13. Holla Back (Holla Boston) - Made Men - will get 1-2 lolvotes

lol

I voted for Bad Boyz... why does it have 0 votes? :|

totally wrong on lil kim, i thought some of the pop fans would be about that

shutout for shyne is criminal

I would have broken the tie in favor of Dre.
