Both horse and driver he has hurled into the sea. Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: “I will sing to the Lord, for he is highly exalted. Psalm 95:1Ĭome, let us sing for joy to the Lord let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. 7 Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it. 4 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music 5 make music to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, 6 with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn shout for joy before the Lord, the King. 3 He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to Israel all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. 2 The Lord has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. Rejoice in the sound through this collection of bible verses about music! Psalm 98:1-7 I’ll go with the latter due to superior rhymes and more elements.Bible Verses about Music Music is an important part of worship and praise to God, so it only seems fitting that bible verses about music can be found throughout scripture. It’s between Rhymin and Stealin and She’s Crafty for the dope Zeppelin samples. I’d also add at least one more from Licensed To Ill, which was the highest selling rap album of the 80’s for a reason. You’ve named 3 Beastie Boys tracks and I agree with all of them although I’d interchange The New Style and Shake Your Rump’s positions. How you got Move The Crowd over this one is beyond me. Straight Out The Jungle and Because I Got It Like That – Jungle Brothers (1988) Both are dope but this is their signature. I’d remove Brooklyn Queens and put this one in instead. Strictly Business should be there as well as You’re A Customer and So What Ya Sayin’ Got overlooked because of the year but such a unique track with an obscure early 80’s sample. Other songs I would include in my top 100įunky Dividends – Three Times Dope (1988) – Philly gotta represent. Some may look at that negatively but I’d argue we wouldn’t have had the likes of Nas, Biggie, Jay Z without it. Push It – Salt N Pepa (1986) – One of the key songs that brought rap to the mainstream. King Of The Beats – Mantronix (1988) – Been sampled by over 200 songs. Spawned over a dozen response rap songs and led to career of Roxanne Shante, the first female rapper.ĩ. Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel (1981) – It’s the godfather of turntablism.Ĩ.

Uncredited but sampled in the Animotion song Obsession.ħ. Request Line – Rock Master Scott & The Dynamic Three (1984) – Same as 5. That’s what happened as Sly Fox used the drum beat for their 1986 hit song Let’s Go All The Way.Ħ. Not often you hear a hip hop beat sampled in mainstream pop music. Adventures of Super Rhyme – Jimmy Spicer (1980). It was probably the final great electro funk rap joint.Ĥ. This was such an influential track and was a breaker’s anthem. Leaving Whodini off any top 80’s list is sacrilege as far as I’m concerned. One Love and 5 Minutes of Funk – Whodini. Not only should this be in top 100, I’d argue even top 10.Ģ. This song was a blueprint for many songs, including quite a few on this list. It’s Yours – T La Rock & Jazzy Jay (1984). Because there are some glaring omissions. I can definitely agree with the majority of this list but I get the feeling that whoever comprised it did not live through the era. Treacherous Three – The New Rap Language (1980)ĩ9. Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock – It Takes Two (1988) Kool Moe Dee – Go See The Doctor (1986)ĩ6. Cold Crush Brothers – Fresh, Wild, Fly & Bold (1984)ĩ2.
