97.9 the boxx played Houston artists top 50 hip hop songs of all time today and i could not find the list on their website, it sucks.

does anyone know or have a list of the songs played all day today? and for those who heard, what was the top 5?

 

I listened to it most of today while working in the garage.

5 lil troy - wanna be a balla
4 esg - swangin and bangin
3 lil keke - southside
2 fat pat - tops drop
1 geto boys - mind playin tricks on me

 

i can agree with that top five.... know what im tombot??

 

it's aight

 

Man I would love to see the whole list of 50. Gonna check the station website.

 

Where's Rakim and Eric B.?

 

^^^and UGK? you CANNOT forget about some UnderGround Kings

 

theyre from New York, this is a list for Houston artists.

im sure theyre all over that list and outside of the top 5 im sure. Tell Me Something Good has got to be high up on this list.

i emailed the station and still no reply.

 

i hope those are not the top 5 hip hop artists down there

never heard of 1 of them

 

dang, never heard of getoboys? now thats a first..

 

top 5 songs from Houston artists, actually, as voted by Houston listeners.

you should give em a listen, you might like it. it might be an acquired taste since youre from New York though. expand your musical horizon.

 

yea i try to man, no offense i just cant stand anything from down south, except a little luda. I lost all hope in down south music once everyone down there thought Lil Wayne was a good rapper. TI is ok in some songs too.

Do you guys feel that way about NY rap? cause i just cant picture anyone saying they dont like NY rap like Jada, Wu Tang, Jay Z, Nas etc etc

 

I sure feel the same way about NY rap. I like some, but not as much as the southern stuff.

 

pretty funny how it goes by where ya from. My ears just dont like ur stuff as urs dont like ours. strange

 

WU-TANG FTMFW!


guess it all depends on your flavor.

 

its definately a local thing. the music is down here is slow and laid back, just like the lifestyle in Houston.

those artists youve listed above are definately on another level and are more exposed nationwide and for good reason. their music is definately more appealing to a larger audience. but just as there are good im sure there are a lot of underground NY rap that only you could appreciate, know what im saying?

<---listens to everything

 

+9889687665 I really dont like most NY rap. Southern rap just flows a lot smoother to me!!!!!!!

 

yeah i hear ya bro

 

Pretty much.

I like a few NY artist. Mostly old 90's stuff like Biggie and Tribe Called Quest. One contributing factor why southerners like dirty south hip-hop, is because of the bass lines. We're more into hard hitting bass lines. Fo' fid-tanes's in da trunk nucca!

 

^^^^hahahaha yea u guys are crazy down there riding on 22's bumpin in old school cars an sh*t haha.

i dont really like any rap nowadays. NY or not. Rap is just garbage nowadays.

hence why i NEVERRRRR listen to the radio.

Theres enough Biggie, Jay, Nas, and Pac albums to keep me satisfied.
