The House Of Coxhead: Top 100 Hip-Hop Songs of All-Time
After working on this since the turn of the new year, I am now pleased to present to you my 'Top 100 Hip-Hop Songs of All-Time'. Following the success of my yearly Top 100 lists, it was only right to do one for my favourite genre and a movement that has changed millions of people's lives over the past 30+ years. The list covers every type of sound/style that has ever been associated with Hip-Hop and is what I believe to be a perfect representation of everything that is positive about the culture that we have all come to love. As with all my lists, this is a personal opinion, and there will be songs in it that you wouldn't have in your list and songs that didn't make the cut which could well be in your Top 10. However, hopefully you will appreciate this and enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Hip-Hop will never die...
