It's crazy that Rap music today doesn't even remotely resemble any of these songs lol.
stoopid def slammin raps for all the ducks
My bank accountant Ben Franklin's just maxin'
Can't argue with this tbh. Nice to see Tone Loc get a look in. Was more of a Funky Cold Medina fan back in the day. It's still the only song I've ever done at karaoke (once)
That second Shan album is a low-key classic.
When is Step One gonna do a Tone Loc/Tove Lo blend?
Fuckin A. The list could go on and on.

A little piece of bay history from 1988:

Boom
Damn!
Excellent list, as always. Was under the impression that Audio Two's Top Billin' was a 1988 track as well, it seems I was wrong as it dropped in 1987.
Top Billin' = officially the best rap song of 1987.
It's great that rap today doesn't resemble any of these songs. When I want something that's barely moved forward in 40 years and prefers instead to recycle its cultural high-points over and over again, I'll listen to some rock music.
