Can't lie though when I heard him say daydreamin first I was so happy though because that's my favorite lupe song but if I had to pick 1 from lupe that everyone had to hear it's hurt me soul ofc
Their reaction to Still DRE lowkey got me tight lmao. You can argue that song kinda brought Dre back cause there was a big lull between him leaving Death Row and the release of 2001. This was the lead single of that album and the impact this song had was insane. That beat is often in "top 10-20 beats of all time" lists and discussions. Why can't it just be that Dre can have multiple songs in this conversation?
Nah Feefo spot on with that Still D.R.E. pick. It personified the next stage of the west coast/Dr. Dre sound after G-Funk. When ppl make west coast/Dr. Dre type beats, they make stuff that sounds like Still D.R.E. & anything else on 2001, that orchestral piano driven, super clean, heavy drum stuff, not The Chronic as much.
Still D. R. E seems to have the most staying power out of the rest of Dre's catalog. Even the young kids know it. So you could argue its importance by its ability to span generational taste.
lmao yeah they too old to understand the impact it had beyond their generation. you could argue it has the most universally known hip hop beat of all time, not to mention Snoop and Dre??? G Thang is definitely up there, but, how many of us were alive for that moment in 92 versus 99? i remember hearing D.R.E. on the radio when i was like 3 😂😂 and it gets better with every listen
@@michaellacey7730 😭😭😭 mannnn i was 2 lmao. it was one of the first songs i remember hearing up there with my name is and country grammar. i’m glad i can say what a time to be alive ( i feel like i was always an old soul lmao)
Feefo is right! Still D.R.E. is hands down one of the most important hip hop songs of all time because it linked the 90's into the '00s stylistically, cemented Dre's influence behind the scenes of hip-hop culture, and the song has had huge staying power. It hasn't got old. A billion streams on Spotify right now!
shit man that Don’t Like was so crazy that KANYE had to hop on a teenager’s wave for the remix. S/O Chief Keef either way though 🔥🔥 my most listened to rapper my freshman year of HS 😂😂😂
@@poopymcpoop9945 Oh yeah, this would be just a start. I guess *WAP* should be on here as a representation of sexual female empowerment rap of the 2020s. And *Nuthin' But A G Thang* for 90s G Funk.
@@maxsmart9116 That's what made it legendary 😂. The lyrics carried that beat so well that everybody else wanted to try their hand at it. I remember so many artists having an "A Milli" freestyle. From Lil Mama to Ne-Yo to Chris Brown. It was a wild but fun time in rap.
Any song by Rakim and big Daddy Kane should be in the convo because they evolved the style and technical skill of rappingwhich gave birth to artist like Nas.
Feefo is right, Still Dre is way more important than what the other guys said. I live in France and EVERYBODY knows this song, young people too, this shit probably made people listen to rap way more than G Thang. It is still played in the clubs too. This song came out in 99, and still gets a reaction everytime it's played, I think it says something.
Paul Revere - Beastie Boys. If you know you know. All that happened after that song. The new guy definitely didn’t understand the assignment. All personal favorites and important to HIS life, not Hip Hop in general.
I couldn’t think of a specific song to pick to put on a pedestal to explain it but Paul’s Boutique as a whole due to the popularity boom of using a variety of samples for a singular idea and the fact that it played a huge role in sampling lawsuits
The most important song would always be "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, it changed the world and open up what's really going in the inner cities. But for me It would be "Southern Hospitality"by Ludacris, I felt inlove with HipHop cause of it.
Ashton was just naming favorites. Of his picks, only Grindin can be _maybe_ considered as "important". Here's a couple I got off top: Rapper's Delight The Message Juicy Brenda's Got a Baby
1. "The Message" 2. "P.S.K" 3. "King of Rock" 4. "Children's story" 5. "The Symphony" 6. "Paid in Full" 7. "6' in the mornin" 7. "Straight out of Compton" 8. "Fight the power" 9. "Check the Rhime" 10. "Mind Playing Tricks on me" 11. "Nothin' but a G Thang" 12. "93' til infinity" 13. "Who got the props" 14. "Protect your neck" 15. "Player's ball" 16. "Make em' say Ugh"
Nah this video whack. Feels like they didnt gave enough thought beforehand. Plus some members interpreted the question differently. Dont they discuss which direction they should go for the video before they start shooting...
Here's my 10 most important hip hop songs (no order): Shook Ones, Pt. 2 Fight The Power Straight Outta Compton C.R.E.A.M. Talking All That Jazz Nothing But A G Thang Children's Story Dear Mama I Aint No Joke The Message
I would say Ether. Became part of Hip Hop lexicon to say someone got Ethered & it also was the song responsible of using Stan as an insult or to refer to a super fan/groupie.
Meh...it's a banger but without g thang there is no still dre...no g funk sound...no audience to come back to for dres return to form, and the whole sound of that track was designed to emulate the success o the sound he defined on the chronic just a little updated...hence chronic 2001. Also g thang is still universally known, and still slaps just as hard as it did 35 years ago
Public Enemy - Bring The Noise ft. Antrax - ik Run-Dmc did it first but PE exposed me to more harder rock than just Aerosmith + bonus points for being on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 soundtrack Madvilliany - ALL CAPS - that animated video and the inclusion on The Boondocks made this song so iconic for me. I'll never forget seeing the video being played on MTV 2 thinking "this is amazing" rip DOOM Run DMC - Walk this Way - showed the world Black people can do rock n roll (in fact we invented it)
For the 2010s: I would say Kendrick Lamar “Alright”, J. Cole “No Role Models”, Joey Bada$$ “Waves”, Childish Gambino “This is America” and I would said one of Run the Jewels’ popular songs.
I love y'all but you have to come more prepared when you have these conversations... not the first time that someone is not in tune with the topic and that fucks up the flow of the video. Stay safe ✌🏾
"We are all in the same gang" is VERY dope. That James Brown sample is so sick! Another song that is in the same vein as that one, and "Self-destruction", is "Heal Yourself" that came out around the same time. KRS-ONE's verse is dope and strangely relevant.
Fight the Power, The Message (Furious Five), My Melody, PSK, Self Destruction, F--k the Police, Hip Hop (Dead Prez), I Used to Love H.E.R., Ladies First, U.N.I.T.Y., My Melody, The Gas Face, They Reminisce Over You, Looking At the Front Door, C.R.E.A.M., Tennessee, Bout It Bout It, Jackin For Beats, Sucka MC's, Down with the King, The Choice is Yours, The Symphony, Push It, It Takes Two, The Bridge Is Over, Talkin All That Jazz, Rapper's Dekight, White Lines, Ha, Dear Mama, Hey Young World, Treat Em Right
I don't get their reaction to D.R.E. How tf is that less important than anything else on this list? Disappointed in the crew on that, and props to Feefo for standing by it
Aight after finishing the video this might be their worst take on a topic ever. Holy sh*t what a terrible list. I love DEHH but wow this is a trash list for Most Important Songs in hip hop. Very disappointed
I'd say Crank That by Soulja Boy. Obviously not a GOAT status song, but love it or hate it, can you argue that it didn't usher in a new era of hip-hop? Love or hate that era. Might not have been for the better, but it changed the flow of the river. Can you argue that it isn't important?

The Message - Grandmaster Flash and Furious Five
Stan gotta be one of em. Even people that dont listen or care for Eminem really respect that song.
That word become a part of our everyday hiphop lingo Thanks to Eminem.
@@thelightseeker94Also Thanks to Nas. He was the first to use the term Stan as an insult in the track Ether.
I don’t think my guy in the bucket hat understood the assignment lol
I’m not sure new dude understood the assignment
He went with important to him lolol
100 per cent didn’t
Not even a little bit!
Can't lie though when I heard him say daydreamin first I was so happy though because that's my favorite lupe song but if I had to pick 1 from lupe that everyone had to hear it's hurt me soul ofc
The visuals of cutting watermelon bumping spaceships is hilarious lmao
That rookie did not understand the assignment one bit, lol.
Their reaction to Still DRE lowkey got me tight lmao. You can argue that song kinda brought Dre back cause there was a big lull between him leaving Death Row and the release of 2001. This was the lead single of that album and the impact this song had was insane. That beat is often in "top 10-20 beats of all time" lists and discussions. Why can't it just be that Dre can have multiple songs in this conversation?
Yeah 1996 - 1998 was his quiet period and then 1999 - 2006 were his resurgence years
Facts you could play that song in any room and literally every one will start going of any age any demographic
Nah Feefo spot on with that Still D.R.E. pick.
It personified the next stage of the west coast/Dr. Dre sound after G-Funk. When ppl make west coast/Dr. Dre type beats, they make stuff that sounds like Still D.R.E. & anything else on 2001, that orchestral piano driven, super clean, heavy drum stuff, not The Chronic as much.

Agree 100%. I would’ve prolly picked Nuthin But A G Thang too but I’m surprised they all had such a reaction for Still DRE. That song is super iconic
Feefo with a rare good answer 😂 Still Dre belongs on the list indeed. That song is cinematic as hell especially the music video version.
The assignment was all over the place in this video lol.
Feefo is right! Still D.R.E. is hands down one of the most important hip hop songs of all time because it linked the 90's into the '00s stylistically, cemented Dre's influence behind the scenes of hip-hop culture, and the song has had huge staying power.

Yeah they disconnected as can be
Not having The Message is nuts
Buddy in the bucket hat missed the assignment.
You know what, I'm about to say it
Love Sosa - Chief Keef
☝🏿🤝🏾🫡
shit man that Don’t Like was so crazy that KANYE had to hop on a teenager’s wave for the remix. S/O Chief Keef either way though 🔥🔥 my most listened to rapper my freshman year of HS 😂😂😂
*1. Rapper's Delight* (70s rap)
*2. The Message* (80s rap)
*3. Paid In Full* (transition into 90s)
*4. Shook Ones, Pt. II* (90s boom bap)
*5. Jesus Walks* (00s backpack rap)
*6. Alright* (10s conscious rap)
…
… nothing for 2020s, I guess?
I would put waka flocka up there or even Souljaboy up there some where. This is coming from a 30 year old. Gotta give the new era some representation.
@@poopymcpoop9945 Oh yeah, this would be just a start. I guess *WAP* should be on here as a representation of sexual female empowerment rap of the 2020s. And *Nuthin' But A G Thang* for 90s G Funk.
Feefo not knowing Ice T is pretty wild
Paid in Full - Eric B and Rakim has to be on there
There's a Lil Wayne before "A Milli" and after. Talk about a moment. That song told us Wayne is an icon who isn't going anywhere.
The carter 3 as a whole in a lotta ways but a milli really was THE moment
But the beat sucks 🤷♂️
@@maxsmart9116 That's what made it legendary 😂. The lyrics carried that beat so well that everybody else wanted to try their hand at it. I remember so many artists having an "A Milli" freestyle. From Lil Mama to Ne-Yo to Chris Brown. It was a wild but fun time in rap.
@@astashasta1 Carter 3 era was different man. Wish I could go back to when it was first released.
New guy picking songs that are important to him. I don't think he understood the topic lol
The new guy is just picking his favorite songs lmfao
"Can I Kick It?" Is my pick
You read my mind. Q-Tips creativity in production birthed so many legends.
kinda feels like y’all went into this vid w different ideas of what it was gonna be
That's exactly what happened. Some went historical impact, some went personal, and some just went with popularity
@@TheSneakerDomeand that's the problem I have with this video
I actually enjoyed it being this way, if it was just impactful to hiphop it be pretty boring
Feels like a recurring problem on the show- happened all the time with the report card categories
Juicy by biggie made hip hop about more than anything: motivation
Nah they trippin on Feefo lol Still D.R.E. is one of the most important hip hop songs of all time. The beat is iconic by itself too. S/o Feefo.
Any song by Rakim and big Daddy Kane should be in the convo because they evolved the style and technical skill of rappingwhich gave birth to artist like Nas.
Feefo is right with Still Dre lmao 100%
I feel like only Myke answered the question
Rapper’s Delight
The Message
Self Destruction
Feefo is right, Still Dre is way more important than what the other guys said. I live in France and EVERYBODY knows this song, young people too, this shit probably made people listen to rap way more than G Thang. It is still played in the clubs too. This song came out in 99, and still gets a reaction everytime it's played, I think it says something.
Slick rick: children story
50 Cent: in da club
Dmx: ruff ryders anthem
I got alot more 😂
Yea those songs kind of changed the game. Honorable mention Nelly: Country Grammar
I was literally going to say that one too but didn't want to overdue it 😆
Shook ones, pt II, in my humble opinion, the most iconic song and the most iconic beat. Stan, the word entered the dictionary because of the song.
The message - grandmaster flash
Crank Dat with Soulja Boy introducing hip hop to youtube.
Paul Revere - Beastie Boys. If you know you know. All that happened after that song.
The new guy definitely didn’t understand the assignment. All personal favorites and important to HIS life, not Hip Hop in general.
I couldn’t think of a specific song to pick to put on a pedestal to explain it but Paul’s Boutique as a whole due to the popularity boom of using a variety of samples for a singular idea and the fact that it played a huge role in sampling lawsuits
Nah Still DRE should be in there definitely
Mobb deep shook one’s would be a pick for me.
Mother i sober - Kendrick spoke on his experience and the culture
You saying that because it’s one of the most important songs to hip hop or because you’re a kendrick fan?
@@dominiquesmith7680 hip-hop powerful song
Extreme recency bias
mother i sober is an important song that fell on deaf ears unfortunately.
I swear I almost turned this vid off when dude said “Daydreamin” by Lupe Fiasco… 🤦♂️
He picked one of his favorites
@@ALexander-ue3kj exactly
Crossroads - Bone Thugs N Harmony
They never mention Bone
Intl Players Anthem
Came in the comments just to say that! Intl players anthem is a top 5 rap song of all time
The most important song would always be "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, it changed the world and open up what's really going in the inner cities.
But for me It would be "Southern Hospitality"by Ludacris, I felt inlove with HipHop cause of it.
It takes two?? Rod why ... What are you thinking about seriously man 😂😂
The variety of reasons given for this question, I love it.
The world is yours nas
Illmatic as a whole is the most important song.
@@thelightseeker94 absolutely facts
It was a good day - ice cube
Ashton was just naming favorites. Of his picks, only Grindin can be _maybe_ considered as "important". Here's a couple I got off top:
Rapper's Delight
The Message
Juicy
Brenda's Got a Baby
Myke dancing always makes me laugh 19:17
The Most Important HipHop Track Ever Is EASILY La-Di-Da-Di - Get Fresh Crew (Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh) . Im surprised no one said that 1 .
Unfortunately I gotta say it, and honestly I ain’t mad at it but, Soulja boy crank that.
Myke need to stop bullying feefo and need to be more respectful. Still dre was a great choice
Yea he been on feefo ass lately
This list started with strange picks then got little better in the end, but has so many misses.
Yall faces during the Still D R E discussion 😂
Nobody said Naughty by Nature OPP, that song was big
Since beef is common in hip hop, I would add some classic diss songs (e.g. Ether, No Vaseline, Hit Em Up).
No Run-DMC??
Walk This Way is so important
Rod stay being a bully
Electric Relaxation- ATCQ
Listen. Thank you my most important song wouldn't matter. Thank y'all gees
// I can only watch the videos for a max of 4 325 min
Self Destruction and We all in the same game are the most important hiphop songs ever
Tha Crossroads. People literally want that song to be played at their funerals
Eminem-My Name Is...that joint blew up up
mid,not top five on the album
@nickalaslindsay7800 not part of the topic.
1. "The Message" 2. "P.S.K" 3. "King of Rock" 4. "Children's story" 5. "The Symphony" 6. "Paid in Full" 7. "6' in the mornin" 7. "Straight out of Compton" 8. "Fight the power" 9. "Check the Rhime" 10. "Mind Playing Tricks on me" 11. "Nothin' but a G Thang" 12. "93' til infinity" 13. "Who got the props" 14. "Protect your neck" 15. "Player's ball" 16. "Make em' say Ugh"

Do anything of these guys know what IMPORTANT means?
Nah this video whack. Feels like they didnt gave enough thought beforehand. Plus some members interpreted the question differently. Dont they discuss which direction they should go for the video before they start shooting...
Seems like they never do
Myke understood the assignment 💯
Honestly…may get hate but…Eminem- Stan
People still use that term today so there's an argument but the song itself I'm not sure
Here's my 10 most important hip hop songs (no order):
Shook Ones, Pt. 2
Fight The Power
Straight Outta Compton
C.R.E.A.M.
Talking All That Jazz
Nothing But A G Thang
Children's Story
Dear Mama
I Aint No Joke
The Message
Solid list for sure... clearly you understood the topic better than most Lol
Hard Out Here For A Pimp by Three 6. First hip hop group to win an Oscar, first time hip hop was performed at the Oscars. That was huge.
I would say Ether. Became part of Hip Hop lexicon to say someone got Ethered & it also was the song responsible of using Stan as an insult or to refer to a super fan/groupie.
Y’all looked stupid clowning them Still DRE pick. Obviously more important today than G Thang. Objectively
Objectively, criticism is subjective.
Meh...it's a banger but without g thang there is no still dre...no g funk sound...no audience to come back to for dres return to form, and the whole sound of that track was designed to emulate the success o the sound he defined on the chronic just a little updated...hence chronic 2001. Also g thang is still universally known, and still slaps just as hard as it did 35 years ago
I think that First of the Month showed that the Midwest could put out quality hip-hop.
The Pharcyde - Drop
Amazing song, J Dilla beat, but it is the video that cements it. That was a peak moment in creativity for Hip Hop.
Public Enemy - Bring The Noise ft. Antrax - ik Run-Dmc did it first but PE exposed me to more harder rock than just Aerosmith + bonus points for being on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 soundtrack
Madvilliany - ALL CAPS - that animated video and the inclusion on The Boondocks made this song so iconic for me. I'll never forget seeing the video being played on MTV 2 thinking "this is amazing" rip DOOM
Run DMC - Walk this Way - showed the world Black people can do rock n roll (in fact we invented it)
Shocked it didn't come up. Though Myke would call it.
For the 2010s: I would say Kendrick Lamar “Alright”, J. Cole “No Role Models”, Joey Bada$$ “Waves”, Childish Gambino “This is America” and I would said one of Run the Jewels’ popular songs.
Feefo wasn’t wrong.
Beezy don't miss no more Deadend convos. Dude in the bucket hat clueless.
I'm surprised Ken didn't say The Message by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five
Love this concept!
Feefo was right about Still D.R.E, Myke said G Thang was right there and I honestly think you could justify having both
I love y'all but you have to come more prepared when you have these conversations... not the first time that someone is not in tune with the topic and that fucks up the flow of the video. Stay safe ✌🏾
Ken and Myke came through
"We are all in the same gang" is VERY dope. That James Brown sample is so sick!
Another song that is in the same vein as that one, and "Self-destruction", is "Heal Yourself" that came out around the same time. KRS-ONE's verse is dope and strangely relevant.
