Rolling in at the 25th spot on the legendary Gangsta 100 Playlist, we got 50 Cent’s track “Gangsta’s Delight.” Now, y’all know this joint samples the iconic “Rapper’s Delight” by Sugar Hill Gang—yeah, it’s been done before a million times, but never quite like this. 50 adds his own flavor with a slick nod to N.W.A. because, let’s be real, every true gangsta needs to pay homage. This banger comes straight off the “Self Destruct” album that hit the scene back in 2009, and let me tell you, it’s a certified hit. You might find yourself cruising through this album with only a skip or two, if that.

I wanna hear your thoughts on this track, so drop a comment below and stay tuned for more fire from the gangsta rap scene!

"It's Funky Enough" marks the debut single of American rapper The D.O.C., kicking off his 1989 album No One Can Do It Better. This joint ruled the US Top Rap Songs chart for 18 weeks straight, including a solid four weeks at the number one spot. To hype it up, they even dropped a black-and-white music video.

The track was produced by the legendary Dr. Dre and samples "Misdemeanor" by Foster Sylvers. You’ve probably heard it in games like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, True Crime: Streets of LA, and Madden 2005. The line "Y'all ready for this?" has been lifted in countless rap tracks.

That phrase became a global sensation, thanks to its use in the iconic track "Get Ready for This" by the '90s dance group 2 Unlimited, which is now one of the most played songs in arenas at sporting events.

Eazy-E even took a slice of that flavor in his 1993 diss track "Real Muthaphuckkin' G's," where he threw down the line "stop him in his tracks, show him that I am Ruthless" in the chorus.

He later sampled "It's Funky Enough" again in his track "Creep N Crawl" from his 1995 posthumous release, Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin Compton, and also in "That's Gangsta" by Shyne from his self-titled debut album in 2000.

This was one of the first hip-hop tracks I ever heard. What a track it was. It's catchy; it's worthy of being called one of the best singles ever. It's a get money everyday song for any royalties it's getting."It Takes Two" is a song by New York City hip hop duo Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock that became a top-40 single and was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Since it was released in 1988 by Profile Records, the song has been covered and sampled by several recording artists."There are many critics and listeners who claim that Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock's 'It Takes Two' is the greatest hip-hop single ever cut," noted music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine of All Music Guide. "It's hard to disagree with them." Spin magazine published "100 Greatest Singles of All Time" in 1989 and ranked "It Takes Two" at number one.[3] In 2021, it was listed at number 116 on Rolling Stone's "Top 500 Best Songs of All Time."

"Nobody Move," penned by MC Ren, features him dropping in with a line or two. This track comes from the Eazy Duz It album, which went at least double platinum. For many fans, this was their introduction to the rap scene stemming from N.W.A. Eazy-E was the voice of the group, and it didn’t take long for the big egos to tear N.W.A apart. But let’s set that aside and focus on this track. "Nobody Move" is an absolute classic, delivering a gangster's narrative about a bank heist. We all kind of picture what a bank robbery would be like, right? No? Well, if you did, this song captures that vibe perfectly. The lyrics are a riot when you dive into them. Eazy-E had a sharp sense of humor; after all, he was just a "gangsta having fun."

In 1992, N.W.A. unleashed a true game-changer with "N's 4 LIFE"—just take a look at that iconic record cover. This album is packed to the brim with classic tracks that have stood the test of time. Eazy-E certainly shone the brightest, his charisma so undeniable that even the legendary Dr. Dre and MC Ren couldn’t overshadow him. Nevertheless, all three of these titans came together to create a true West Coast classic. Now, let’s dive into one particular track—the solo piece from Eazy-E, titled "I’d Rather Fuck You." This track rolls in toward the end of the album, injecting some serious energy just when you thought about hitting that eject button! It’s a clever nod to Bootsy Collins' "I’d Rather Be With You." Honestly, I can't say I've ever heard that original track, but let’s keep it gangsta right here! Make sure to check out this banger on Spotify; you’ll find the link in the show notes.
