Top Hip-Hop Singles #60

New Jack Hustler- Ice-T

Neither

Of course^^^^^

Anyway, top 50 for me easily. Would make top 25 but You Played Yourself holds that spot down.

Neither

Top 75

IMO Kev this is not one of Ice-T's better efforts man...it's an average song to me


You Played Yourself
I'm Your Pusher
O.G.
Colors
6 In The Morning
Power
High Rollers
99 Problems


I like all of these Iceberg joints better than New Jack Hustler....

I disagree with that entirely Powell. I like 6 In The Morning and Ya Played Yourself better, but this song is a BANGER!

I like it so much because it fit the vibe of the movie perfect. I miss the days when rappers had themes and stayed on subject.

Likewise. 15+ years ago this song would have made my Top 25.

I agree with that man

but songs from movie soundtracks like

Naughty By Nature-Uptown's Anthem
Rakim-Know The Ledge
MC Eiht-Streiht Up Menace
Ice Cube-How To Survive In South Central
Pete Rock And CL Smooth-What's Next On The Menu
Arrested Development-Revolution
Ice-T-Colors


I mean these are some songs from soundtracks that really stand out for ya boy man

this Ice-T-New Jack Hustler's joint was just average compared to songs like that IMO

Of the tracks you mentioned, the only ones I'd take over this are the two Juice tracks.

Streiht Up Menance and Colors are both better as well IMO

I could see an argument for Colors, but not the Eiht song. Then again I can't stand Eiht.

New Jack Hustler is my 4th fav soundtrack song, behind only Know The Ledge, Uptown Anthem, and Regulate.

Eiht is very hit or miss, but that song is a masterpiece IMO. I'd also like to throw Gangsta's Paradise out there too. it's definitely a popular mainstream song, but i still love it.

Yeah i'll take Know The Ledge and Str8 Up Menace over New Jack Hustler also.

Pick is a little better but still a neither for me.. are you going in chronological order?

Top 50. One of Ice-T's greatest singles IMO.

Good call Kev. You Played Yourself is Top 25 material IMO as well.

Damn, you like all those better than New Jack Hustler, Powell? I can see I'm Your Pusher because of that smooth Curtis Mayfield sample. O.G. lacks on the chorus end IMO, but I dig the subject matter. Not really seeing the others on the same level. I know it's all opinion, but you only have one cut from the O.G. album on there...not a fan of that album?
