    Making best of lists isn’t easy, but you guys made it look even harder here!!
    A list of the top 100 90s hop hop songs without ‘Flava in Ya Ear’ by Craig Mack just isn’t even close to credible. Also, Cypress’ How I Could Just Kill a Man’ being so low also does this list no favours. Just sayin.

    What’s BS is where’s Salt-N-Pepa? Kind of a sexist list, and you missed a lot of the best songs.
