Thing is, I like hip-hop but I wouldn't really call myself a hip-hop head. I love any music that moves me.
I had my "black man card" revoked at a party because we were all making "The Top Ten Best Well-Written Songs of All Time" playlists on Spotify and playing them. Here's mine:
1. Hook - Blues Traveler
2. Jigsaw Falling Into Place - Radiohead
3. Carnival - Natalie Merchant
4. Gold Dust Woman - Fleetwood Mac
5. All I Really Want - Alanis Morissette
6. Hell of a Life - Kanye West
7. Jeremy - Pearl Jam
8. Doo Wop (That Thing) - Lauryn Hill
9. Thriller - Michael Jackson
10. Stan - Eminem
Now of course, it's kind of a joke list as I don't think these are the BEST ever, but I REALLY love these songs for various reasons. My friends lost their sh*t because I didn't include Tupac and other classic rappers.
EDIT: That being said, "Hook" took number one because I'm down with any song that blatantly insults the listener without them even realizing it (listen closely to the first verse).
