Some mf'er asked, kinda, so: The History of Hip-Hop, 1985-2008. Twenty-four songs for twenty-four years. This is, intentionally, a very mainstream list, aiming for songs-of-the-year and legendary figures and broad trends and whatnot. Sorry I missed your favorite (I missed my favorite, too), but please feel free to argue with me.
