THE 100 MOST ESSENTIAL SONGS 

Today, hip-hop sounds dominate popular music. For many years the genre was dismissed and –justifiably- criticized for its homophobic and misogynistic lyrics. This countdown looks back on the seminal rap songs that helped establish the new genre within the mainstream and the key songs in hip-hop’s evolution. These are the 100 that matter most, from early rap tracks and gangsta rap to the Oscar winners.
