31. Big Boi (ft. Gucci Mane)- Shine Blockas

Quick Notes:
1. Not "Hey Ya" as I would rank that more as an R&B song than as a rap song. Same for Ignition Remix
2. No Beastie Boys. Just too lazy to go through and pick a few
3. A lot of East Coast. I've never been too much into west coast or southern.
4. Also, this was completely off the top of my head and with minimal itunes looking. This would probably change a lot if I were more focused, but Justice League is calling me to watch it and well, it wins right now.
