Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Yo Mister Cee, the people feel threatened! Soliciting prostitutes is illegal and this is the second time your private affairs have been publicized. Get some help...and a room! —B.Dot
Pretty solid line-up, no? Rolling Stone caps off 2012 with Em, B.I.G., Pac, and Hov on the cover of their latest issue. 50 songs are tough, but who will clock in at number one? Pick up the issue on newsstands next week.

WuTang nigga? Rakim? . . . . Chiek Keef . . . oh wait . . . LOL
Only PAC n Big deserve it though
What the hell is their criteria, most of that list doesn’t even make any sense.
@steve
thats what i thought!
I’d replace Jay or Em with Nas for the fact that Nas dropped a CLASSIC while Pac n Biggie were still in the game!
man fuck dat shit…….em and pac hell yea great covers, biggie alright i can live wit dat….but jay z and no Nas …dats dat ol bullshit cuz illmatic is da best rap album of all time and dats word to a song
WTF no nas? I’m sorry em is nice as fuck but I think nas shoulda got that spot
damn. Nas gets no love.

Nas is in my top 5. But compared to these 4, they’ve had more of a cultural impact.
I thought I would be the different person with this comment but it seems like everyone wants to know wheres Nas at?
No doubt that all these guys deserve to be here but in another year or two Kanye HAS to be there!
B.Dot hit it right on the head with his comment
have a feeling its stan by eminem
Em and jay are the goats no question..over big and pac
Nas is in my top 5. But compared to these 4, they’ve had more of a cultural impact.

true
Reblogged this on The Music Business Revisionist.

“Nas is in my top 5. But compared to these 4, they’ve had more of a cultural impact.”
Exactly! That’s why we dont mention cats like LL or Raekwon or KRS.
Nas is in my top 5. But compared to these 4, they’ve had more of a cultural impact.

@B.Dot that is very true I was saying something like this b4 I even read your comment
COSIGN AT BDOT
Jay’s cultural impact on our culture far exceeds Nas. U guys only can say Nas makes good music. But what else can u say besides his music is good. Jay has broken down barriers that Nas hasn’t.
B.dot what is your top 5 ? For me 1 B.i.g 2 Jay 3 Pac 4 Nas 5 Kanye.
EMINEM SHOULD NOT BE IN THIS LIST!!! He has not have a decent album in over 6 years. theres a list of atleast 5 other MC’s who deserve this before eminem.
They dont have Nas on the cover because hes got the greatest hip hop song.
I bet all 50 songs are just the rapper’s singles, not whats on their albums, watch the ones with eminem will either be lose yourself or stan…
@sabastian stupid comment
1 B.i.g 2 Jay 3 Pac 4 Nas 5 Kanye.

Same…#5 varies. Usually a toss up btwn DMX, Em, or GFK. depends on the day.
Em n Hov??? Really? where tf is Nas n Scarface at??
Nas is prolly better than Biggie Em & Hov
Hip Hop Legends.
kanye top 5 !!!joke of the year, this gay ass nigga can’t fuck with em jay royce dmx xzibit joe budden tech 9……………………
top 5 of all time biggie tupac nas em jay-z
Nah the nigs that deserve it is but 3 dudes
PAC i guess. BIG. and Em fuck the rest
stop complaining about who should’ve made that list and who not….these 4 guys are arguably the biggest names in hiphop..and the most influential rappers to date….the rest is just a matter of preference…
Eminem has sold wayy the fuck more than these nigs
@B.Dot: Nigga are you fucking stupid? The culture of REAL hip hop is inner city youths, how can you even begin to say Eminem has had more of a cultural impact on young blacks and Latinos then Nas did? smh you hipsters are something else just because he sold millions don’t mean shit. He’s a pop icon and a superhero for suburban america NOT hip hop.
Tupac by far first !! The. jay then BIG Em should be replaced with NAS but 4 blacks on the cover would have never happened
1. Pac
2. Em
3. Jay-Z
4. Nas
5. Biggie
top 5 of all time
@Golden Child – Eminem isn’t from the suburbs nor is hip hop limited to just the inner city and its residents. Em opened up a lot of doors and windows that allowed people that enjoy hip hop to see what it was like for a white kid from the trailer parks of Detroit growing up. He was able to show people that all white people don’t come up in perfect conditions, and since he’s white and highly skilled as an artist; he was able to bring that story to main street America. lack artist have done this since the creation, so to have a white artist do this while being themselves says a lot. On top of that his Marshall Mathers LP can go song for song with any cd thats EVER came out, and if it’s not better than, it’s close to.
A lot of people commenting on here are side tracking (i.e. B.Dot). The title is ‘THE 50 GREATEST HIP-HOP SONGS OF ALL TIME”. Not the greatest album, not the greatest rapper, and sure as fuck NOT who had the greatest cultural impact as an artist. If you wanna talk about cultural impact then lets talk about who’s SONGS had the greatest cultural impact in hip-hop history. How anyone can have that conversation without mentioning NASIR JONES is beyond me. If “NEW YORK STATE OF MIND” is not in the top 5 or in this case top 4 greatest hip-hop songs of all time, I don’t know what is.
Em doesnt deserve the spot? Lol and then you have kanye in top 5!!! xD nvm
i understand that Nas should be included on talent level but on success I would say no one is touching EM or JAY at this point. That being said, NAS is probably top 3 favorite rapper for me.
They’ve definitely have more of a cultural impact than Nas. Although Nas’s songs clearly have had more of an impact on rap culture than eminem’s songs.
Obviously they all will sell more issues than a Nas cover. If the title was Hip Hops superstars I would get it. Top 50 greatest hip hop songs though, eh….
@QUEENZ well said.
1. Biggie
2. Jay-Z
3. 2Pac
4. Snoop (Strickly because 92-95 snoop was bigger than anything in the last 15 years.
Too many that could be number 5… Em, Cube, 50, Dogg Pound.
Although Nas’s songs clearly have had more of an impact on rap culture than eminem’s songs.

Stop it. Eminem “Stan” gave new meaning to obsessive fans. “Lose Your Self” won a fucking Oscar
Who has influenced hip-hop more Nas or Eminem? Of course Eminem has sold more records but his influence on rap isn’t anywhere near as Nas. For 20 years Nas has been the benchmark for lyricism and Illmatic influenced how artist’s made albums and the covers. Eminem’s subject matter is so limited while Nas has covered almost everything and he just dropped a dope album this year. Eminem last good album was The Eminem Show and that was 10 years ago.
Great covers!
How any hip hop fan can hate on these covers,i will never know.Suck it up and exept it losers.
These 4 cats are the biggest rappers on the planet and they all deserve to be on the cover.
u guys are just stupid….the cover is perfect.
