to Skinny: There identifying songs people may know this isn’t just all thats on there I bet. That and not everyone’s into the serious consensus hip hop. These songs are probably to get in their sport zone and not alot of serious hip hop can really do it. At least not to me.

@Skinny, so i guess jay-z, eminem and shyne are not hip-hop?

so tired of people defining what does and doesn’t constitute hip-hop. get off your high horse.

@Baller882, You must care if you’re commenting.

By the way it’s spelled “their” not “there”. educate yourself.

@BK

but I don’t think people should call songs hip-hop, when they clearly are (more) pop, or a different genre. Nothing wrong with artists doing different music, just label it right.
