Let the debates begin: VH1 has compiled its list of the 100 greatest hip-hop songs, and Public Enemy’s black power anthem “Fight the Power” tops the list.

The cable channel will count down its list in series of shows starting Monday. At No. 2 is the Sugar Hill Gang’s groundbreaking song, “Rapper’s Delight,” followed by Dr. Dre’s “Nuthin but a ‘G’ Thang” at No. 3. Run-D.M.C.’s “Walk This Way” with Aerosmith and Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five’s “The Message” round out the top five.

Salt ‘N Pepa was the only female act in the top 10, with their early hit “Push It.” Two of rap’s biggest names — Jay-Z and Eminem — didn’t make the top 10, though they are in the top 20.

Other acts on the list include the Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Biz Markie, Black Sheep and J.J. Fad.

The list comes as VH1 prepares to honor the pioneers in rap once again as part of its annual Hip-Hop Honors show, which this year celebrates Slick Rick, De La Soul, Cypress Hill, Naughty by Nature and Too Short. That show airs Oct. 6.

It was an evening that bridged the gap between hip-hop’s past and present. From Alicia Keys and Wu-Tang Clan to Rick Ross and Kanye West to LL Cool J and Public Enemy, Hot 97’s annual Summer Jam concert, at Giant’s Stadium, was a night that saw the new school artists get schooled by the old school artists. Artist after Artist came on stage but it was LL Cool J who started the crowd up, The G.O.A.T turned it out with headsprung. The much talked about Lil Wayne turned in one of the nights worst performance’s. The crowd barely moved or swayed as he went thru his usual list of trash tracks, I think I saw a couple of 13 year olds dancing to lollipop in the corner of the stadium, but for the most part he was a big flop. Public Enemy came out and tore the stage up with fight the power. Chuck D can still hold it down with the best of them, Public Enemy had the best performace of the night, it is no wonder they are the greatest rap group of all time. Kanye west was the main event and he bombed just like Lil Wayne, he did a freestyle at the end of his set trying to get some kind of applause out of the crowd, but the back pack rapper doesnt move real hip hop heads. Overall Hiphopspy would have to say it was worth it to see the old school acts, but most of the current day acts have no stage presence and are not worth seeing under any setting.

Public Enemy’s hype man Flavor Flav sent the last hood rat back to the hood,thing 1 or 2 I can’t remember her name , you know the one that looked like leon spinks. It went down at the reunion for the latest season of “Flavor of Love” the Floavor Flav decided to announce he’s retiring from helping chickenheads find fame for loving him. Instead opting to put a ring on the finger of baby’s mama # 7 - Liz, who mothered his infant son Karma. Flav never intended on staying with any of the skanks from any of his shows,they all thought they would find fame and fortune but nobody can remember any of there names anymore, they were all just a bunch of low budget hood rats. Meanwhile, one of his most popular love interests, Shay “Buckeey” Johnson has popped up all over the net allegedly tasting the flavor of somebody else’s Johnson in a homemade porno. You will have to google it, Hiphopspy dont do porno we only report the Hip hop news.
