Fight The Power Greatest Hip Hop Song Ever??

VH1 has compiled a list of the 100 Greatest Hip Hop Songs Ever, and your favorite hip hop politicians topped the list. Public Enemy’s 1989 black power anthem “Fight the Power” came in at number 1.

VH1 is set to count down all of the 100 songs on the list in a series of shows beginning on Monday.

Following "Fight the Power" on the list 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 lone female act in the top 10, with their early hit “Push It.” Jay-Z and Eminem made the top 20, while other acts on the list include the Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Biz Markie, Black Sheep and J.J. Fad.

Do you guys agree or disagree! I say Fight The Power was a very influential song, but it wasn't the greatest!
