I didn't peep the last one but this one was especially difficult. After a minute of deliberation I chose T.R.O.Y. with Deep Cover closing in at second.

this was much harder than the first. i think the songs on this one kill the first poll songs. anyway, i picked kool g - ill street, because this was the beginning of the new kool g. the kool g that we here today. he imo has the most skill out of anyone. complete illness. someone just needs to teach him how to make a party song.

close between dwyck and TROY, but this may well be pete rock's best beat ever. the sax (horn?) loop just can't be fucked with

Definitely the hardest so far.

Some of these were obvious #1 picks, but then, there can only be one. What a CLASH!! :lol:

I ended up going with Ill Street Blues.

actually its a lot easier...troy should is and will win in a landslide

there are certain songs that are automatic winners that you dont even need to include...unless you are pairing them in a super group...troy is one of those songs

Wow, that that's a list.

Gonna have to be "know the ledge" for me.

But you got "scenario" remix, "deep cover", "dwyck", "ill street blues" and "troy" bumpin' its tailpipe like it was in one of the car chase scenes in the movie Ronin.

Ayo. No homo.

Yeah Predator was 92, Lethal Injection was 93.

It came down to TROY and the Scenario remix. I went with TROY. Arguably the best hip hop song ever.

I had to go with Juice - I feel in a more menacing mood today...

When that bassline pumps in and the "Ohhhhh" gets going, it feels like I am standing on a cold street in NYC...

Goddamn how am I suppose to choose just one out of those five? Toughest poll so far. Fuck it I'm just go with T.R.O.Y.

TROY, of course.

Hard one though. Each and everyone of those songs are great.

if "troy" wasn't there, it would have been a lot harder... but that's my fav joint of all-time.

"know the ledge" would probably get #2.

woahhhhh..hard as hell..every joint that is listed is classic and has so many memories... that was one of the hardest decisions... but in the end i went with "T.R.O.Y" because it holds a lot of special memories and those horns son..those damn horns...

even when my biological didn't bother
