New York City Hip Hop Playlist (YouTube)

Started building a unique playlist of hip hop tunes that originated from the city that gave birth to the genre in the first place: New York. Here we have a slate that begins in the party-oriented early 80s South Bronx and progresses all the way through the late 90s into a bunch of raw, underground, hot street rap fire 🔥😎.

So, if you've been following me long enough, you know that my forte with these playlists is to load up on great obscurities, and I've got a bunch here, but I've also got some classic jams as well, all of which come courtesy of Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five and Melle Mel. There's shortened versions of two early hip hop cornerstones: "The Message," which was the genre's first ever lyrically conscious hit, and then the anti-cocaine anthem, "White Lines," which Grandmaster Flash actually had nothing to do with, even though Sugarhill Records slapped his name on it in order to help boost its record sales.

But speaking of anti-drug hip hop anthems, a lesser known one from around that same early 80s time period is The Funky Four's "King Heroin," which heavily interpolated The O'Jays' own "For the Love of Money," aka the theme song from The Apprentice (🎶 money, money, money, money....mon-ay! 🎶). "King Heroin" is definitely not a completely unknown song, but in comparison to "White Lines," far less people are aware of it, and in total, it has about 62,000 plays on YouTube across a handful of uploads. Fun, catchy, early hip hop gold as far as I'm concerned.

But once we hit the mid-90s, that's when we really get into some of these underheard Big Apple rap goodies, like a pair of mid-90s boom bap cuts from a Harlem native called Raucous aka Sabotage, who at some point decided to leave an oversaturated US rap market for Germany. 1995's "Say No More" has around 1,100 total plays on YouTube and the Roey Marquis II remix of "No Way Out" from 1996 has about 2,400.

And Brooklyn's own mighty Mos Def aka Yasiin Bey makes an appearance on here too, on a rare remix of N'Dea Davenport's "Bullshittin'," which I'm pretty sure was produced by the one and only J Dilla. Super chilly synth tones on this one that's approaching 20,000 YouTube plays.

And lastly, Manhattan trio Missin' Linx supplies "M.I.A.," a song whose beat very well may have been jacked by Dr. Dre himself so he could release his iconic "The Next Episode" the following year. Both songs utilize the same main sample from David McCallum's "The Edge," but according to WhoSampled, either producer VIC was the first to ever sample the song for "M.I.A.," or one of his collaborators, Godfather Don, was the first to use it for underground New York rapper Scaramanga's "Death Letter" remix. Either way, although "The Next Episode" would come to be hailed as a late 90s west coast rap classic, Dre wasn't the first to sample that McCallum song. And "M.I.A." has about 176,100 YouTube plays while "The Next Episode" has managed to rack up hundreds of millions.

This playlist is ordered as chronologically as possible:

The Furious Five Meets the Sugarhill Gang - "Showdown" Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - "The Message" Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel - "White Lines (Don't Do It)" West Street Mob - "Mosquito" Funky Four - "King Heroin" Dana Dane - "Something Special" Nine - "Any Emcee" Raucous a; k; a Sabotage - "Say No More" Raucous a; k; a Sabotage - "No Way Out (Roey Marquis II Remix)" Smoothe Da Hustler - "Hustlers Theme" N'Dea Davenport feat. Mos Def - "Bullshittin'" D.I.T.C. - "Themes, Dreams & Schemes" Missin' Linx - "M.I.A." Mr. Supreme feat. Al' Tariq - "Run the Show"

And this playlist is also on YouTube Music.

So, we currently sit at 14 songs with a runtime of one hour so far. And maybe when I find more to add, I'll have enough songs to make a Spotify playlist too.

Enjoy!

More to come, eventually. Stay tuned!

HI! @saintfrancesworld

My Name is T, and anyone can me up for these types of recommendations. I'll go from Oldies to the newest artists in each category (roughly) ! I come from a family where EVERYONE has a different music tastes, and I'm someone who listens to everything unironically. So I'm gonna be really really broad.

If you like country! Hit up some Northen Regional Mexican music!

● Tucanes de Tijuana

●Jenni Rivera

● Calibre 50

●Grupo Firme

● Peso Pluma

If you like more folksky leaning country ballads hit up Rancheras

● Pedro Infante (super clear Spanish, but very regional)

● Vincente Fernández (lots of smart lyrical writing)

● Ana Gabriel (icon)

If you want something very energetic, I'm gonna have to genre hop for this one. I would add merengue to this, but a lot of its is suuuuper nonsensical. Not great for learning.

● Los angles azules (cumbia)

● Joe Arroyo (salsa)

● Selena (multi genre)

● marc Anthony (salsa)

● Sonora Dinamita ( cumbia/merengue)

If you're more rock and folky leaning also kinda genre hopping

● Gloria Trevi (multi genre leaning rock)

● Calle 13 (multi genre leaning rock rap) (I especially rec this one because the lyrics I'm on the more serious songs, is literal poetry, studied in schools)

● Mon Laferte (ballads and folk)

● Quantic (indie cumbia)

● Manu Chau (indie)

●Silvana Estranda (indie)

● Nico Play (folk india)

If you're into rap, trap. Etc

● Ivy Queen

● Daddy Yankee

● Plan B

● Don Omar

● Kali Uchis

● Bad Bunny

● El Alfa

● Aniita (her stuff in portugués is wayyy better but she has stuff in spanish)

● Rosalia

if you want a laid back tropical sounds, Bachata is the way to go

● Aventura

● Prince Royce

● Romeo Santos

● Chaynne

● Camilo

Most Spanish speaking artists do A LOT more genre hopping than, American artists. Unless they are an artists that exists within a genre such as Cumbia, Merengue, or Northen Mexican Music. As it really hard to branch out of that music sphere because of their already niche music skills. It's why artists like Shakira and Juanes have such a wide range of sounds in the discography, but icons like Ana Gabriel don't.

That and globalization.

As a native English speaker myself, who wants to learn Spanish as a secondary language, do you have any recommendations regarding Spanish- singing music artists or Spanish songs? I’ll take anything from folk rhymes to an entire pop album! Also: thank you so much for all the knowledge you provide! I hope you’re doing excellent! 💗✨

I'm not particularly up on music these days so I'll have to ask for followers

The artists I know of are Shakira, Juanes, Alaska, Lucero, La Oreja de Van Gogh, Maná, and Los Prisioneros

...And a whole lot of Disney youtube songs with the lyrics in Spanish for me personally

I need to look through my playlists because I have more songs collected than actual artists but I don't know them all off the top of my head

HIT 'EM WIT DA HEE! THE 25 DOPEST MISSY ELLIOTT SONGS

By Jacinta Howard

Published Mon, January 10, 2022 at 12:00 PM EST

At this point, it’s almost cliché to point out the obvious — Missy’s always been ahead of her time. A songwriter, producer, rapper, singer, and artistic visionary, her talent has cemented her as a singular artist whose avant-garde creativity has inspired musicians across genres for decades. 

Her musical partnership with longtime friend and fellow Virginia native, producer Timbaland transformed the sound of R&B and rap in the mid-late 90s through their work with artists like Aaliyah and Ginuwine, and when her debut rap album Supa Dupa Fly dropped in 1997, lead by the out-of-the-box, catchy single “The Rain,” it further solidified their standing as two the most important talents in music. 

Over the years, Missy’s creative approach to music and her accompanying videos has been virtually unmatched. Her videos, mostly created in collaboration with Hype Williams and later Dave Meyers, are loud, dynamic, and otherworldly, studied and dissected by artists looking to emulate her sound and viewers wondering how she does it. She set the standard for experimental, innovative music videos, no matter what the genre. 

Beyond her visual creativity, her work behind the scenes has been just as significant. Few producers and songwriters can make universal pop hits while still maintaining a level of authenticity the way Missy does. Throughout the decades she’s crafted hits for Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Tweet, Monica, Beyoncé, Jazmine Sullivan, Fantasia, and Keyshia Cole, among others, all while keeping her feet firmly grounded in Hip-Hop. 

We’ve sifted through Missy’s discography to pick out 25 of her dopest songs. 

#26

"YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY" - NEW EDITION FEAT. MISSY ELLIOTT [BONUS SONG]

Our BONUS SONG pick is a celebrated classic guest spot! In 1996, the newly-reunited sextet New Edition tapped Miss E. for this banger of a Bad Boy remix. 

#25

"THROW IT BACK"

Missy returned in 2019 to drop her first EP, "Iconology," her first body of music since 2005’s "The Cookbook." “Throw It Back” was the first single and a standout on the project— it featured a distorted bassline and busy production courtesy of Willi Hendrix as she reminded folks of her icon status and influence in the game: “I did records for Tweet before you could even Tweet.” 

#24

“WTF (WHERE THEY FROM)" FEAT. PHARRELL

Throughout Missy’s long stretch between her 2005 album The Cookbook and 2019’s Iconology EP, Missy released a smattering of singles including this dance track featuring Pharrell. The song, which was also produced by Pharrell, peaked at #78 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Rap Songs but signaled Missy’s continued ability to stay ahead of the game sonically and visually.

#23

"PASS THAT DUTCH"

The lead single from 2003’s "This Is Not a Test!," “Pass That Dutch” is another insanely catchy collaboration for Missy and Timbaland, with a shout-out to OutKast’s “Hootie Hoo” interspersed in the hook. The video version of the song smashes three songs from the album together, the introspective ode to Aaliyah “Baby Girl Interlude/Intro,” “Pass That Dutch,” and the drum-heavy, rap-chastising “Wake Up.”

#22

"I'M REALLY HOT"

Timbaland and Missy helped rewrite popular music with their futuristic, yet familiar sound. While this song from Missy’s fifth album, 2003’s "This Is Not a Test!" wasn’t a huge hit like some of their other collabs, it nevertheless showcases their creative chemistry over wild drums and agile synths. 

#21

"WE RUN THIS"

An ode to HBCU bands before Beyoncé tore up Coachella, 2005’s “We Run This” with its rhythmic drums perfectly compliments Missy’s energetic delivery. 

#20

"SHAKE YOUR POM-POM"

Over a go-go beat, Missy delivered a rambunctious offering for the Step It Up 2 soundtrack. 

#19

"DRIPDEMEANOR" 

People don’t always immediately associate Missy with sensual R&B but that’s her other sweet spot, as showcased here. Featuring singer Sum1, the sultry song from her 2019 release, "Iconology," Missy is once again on-trend while remaining original. 

#18

"PUSSYCAT"

An explicit dedication to how to keep her man in check, Missy's anthem for "how to turn this n*gga out" became an early 2000s theme song. Another great showcase for how sultry a singer Missy could always be. A remix with Janet Jackson and Lil Kim was shelved.

#17

"WHY I STILL LOVE YOU" FEAT. MONICA

An ode to 60s do-wop with contemporary sprinklings, Missy shows off her vocal chops on “Why I Still Love You,” as she questions why she can’t seem to break it off with someone who doesn’t deserve her time. Featured on Iconology, the mostly black and white video features a comical, sassy cameo from her longtime collaborator, Monica. 

#16

"4 MY PEOPLE" FEAT. EVE

Missy and Eve connected on the uptempo “4 My People,” the fourth single from her 2001 album, "Miss E… So Addictive." The video features Missy dancing in front of a flag in homage to 9/11 and the song remains among her top dance tracks. 

#15

"TAKE AWAY"

The video is dedicated to her musical muse Aaliyah, and the ballad features expectedly gorgeous vocals from Tweet as well as an assist from Ginuwine. Missy’s vocals are on display once more, proving again that she can’t pretty much do whatever she wants musically.

#14

"TEARY-EYED"

Missy teamed with producer/songwriter Warryn Campbell for the mid-tempo, love-torn song “Teary Eyed'' from her 2005 album, "The Cookbook." The video features Missy in a straight-jacket, singing to her incapacitated lover in his hospital bed, crooning about her love-hate relationship with him and his hold on her. It’s another example of her command for heartbreak R&B. 

#13

"I'M BETTER" FEAT. LAMB

In 2017 Missy dropped the extremely catchy, bass-heavy trap-influenced “I’m Better,” produced by and featuring regular collaborator, Lamb. It’s quietly one of the strongest entries in her latter discography. And the video, which she co-directed with Dave Meyers, is probably among her top 5 best, which is saying a lot. 

#12

"HIT 'EM WIT DA HEE"

A quiet standout on her 1997 debut, the video version of “Hit Em Wit Da Hee” featured a Bjork sample, and also a pinstripe suit-wearing Ginuwine. It’s a reminder that Missy is a talented vocalist, a prelude to the mid-tempo sound she’d tweak a few years later on Tweet’s debut Southern Hummingbird.

#11

"LOSE CONTROL"

The first single from her 2005 album, The Cookbook, “Lose Control” found Missy reconnecting with Ciara for another enthusiastic two-step jam. The song samples Cybotron’s “Clear” and Hot Streak’s “Body Work,” and it’s a standout in her long collection of pop dance hits. 

#10

"COOL OFF"

“Missy in this bitch don’ shit you ain’t ever seen,” Missy sassily declares on the opening bars of her 808 heavy southern bounce track “Cool Off” from her 2019 EP, Iconology, offering a fresh reminder of a lasting legacy. 

#9

"SHE'S A BITCH"

The lead single from her second album, 1999’s Da Real World, “She’s a Bitch” is Missy and Timbaland continuing to flex their creativity, even though it wasn’t the highest-charting song on the album. 

#8

"SOCK IT 2 ME" FEAT. DA BRAT

One of her early standouts, “Sock It 2 Me” offered a direct glimpse into Missy’s experimental originality. Da Brat was at the top of her game in 1997, with a recitable verse and swag to match. 

#7

"ONE MINUTE MAN" FEAT. LUDACRIS AND TRINA

Missy found yet another musical kindred spirit in Ludacris during the early aughts, and they capitalized on their connection regularly, including on the 2001 club hit “One Minute Man” from her third album, "Miss E… So Addictive." Trina's guest verse steals the show, as "da baddest bitch" gets raw and raunchy about what she needs in the bedroom. 

#6

"BEEP ME 9-1-1" FEAT. 702 AND MAGOO

A sleepy banger from her debut, “Beep Me 911” is Missy and Timbaland deep in their creative well during the time in the late 90s when they were actively reshaping the sound of contemporary R&B. Decades later, the song still sounds futuristic-fresh, with Missy and Meelah (of 702)’s  languid-sultry vocals breezing over the track as Magoo stamps it with a verse.

#5

"ALL N MY GRILL" FEAT. BIG BOI AND NICOLE WRAY

Big Boy and Nicole Wray threw the assist on “All in My Grill,” the breakout success from Missy’s second album, "Da Real World." Reminding everyone of her R&B roots, a sound she honed with Aaliyah and Ginuwine, “All In My Grill” is a straightforward late 90s soul track with glossy vocals and rich synths that still holds up today. 

#4

"HOT BOYZ" FEAT. EVE, NAS, LIL MO, Q-TIP

The remix version of “Hot Boyz” broke records and became one of Missy’s most popular tracks. Featured on her sophomore album, 1999’s Da Real World, it’s an era-defining posse cut with a standout verse from Eve. (Why wasn't Q-Tip in the video, doe?)

#3

"GET UR FREAK ON" 

Once again, Missy dropped a single that sounded like nothing else when she dropped “Get Ur Freak On” in 2001, and it’d go on to influence the pop production sound of the early aughts. Another Timbaland collaboration, it’s one of Missy’s signature tracks. The song encompasses the cool, frenetic energy that comes to define her solo work, and showcases her creativity at its peak. 

#2

"THE RAIN (SUPA DUPA FLY)"

Timbaland’s sparse, forward-leaning production, and Missy’s wholly original execution which built on a familiar Ann Peebles song, “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)” is one of the most memorable debuts in rap history. When you couple it with the Hype Williams video that helped change the game, Missy’s influential solo entry pushed rap and pop music in a new direction. 

#1

"WORK IT"

2002’s "Under Construction" ushered in a fresh period of domination for Missy and Timbaland’s sound. “Work It” embodies the best of the duo’s innovative charm, and is a signature, career-defining track (and video) for Missy.
