Dear Hip-Hop Spammer,
Please help us out by not spamming our site. I’ve deleted your 10,000-word press release to keep the comments spam-free. But because it’s New Year’s Day and I’m in a jolly mood, I’ll spare the rest of your post.

5. Pesach Says:

I never respond to posts, but this is a pretty sweet new years gift! Thanks Rizoh!

6. zrek Says:

that’s a pretty bad list..

7. esbee Says:

This is what I call an exhaustive and expansive list.

8. Episode Says:

Wasn’t Eternal Sunshine 2007?

9. d-rock Says:

Just commenting as an FYI, Eminem’s Relapse appears twice on the .zip, so one song is missing…not positive which yet though.

Much thanks though! This is excellent.

Punch that “Dear Hip Hop Supporter” dude in the blog…I mean nose.

Thanks for the 100-song DL of 2008. My boys Atmo made the list (sick!), as did that hot lil’ diddy from Freeway’s Month of Madness, “When I Die.” I have to admit (sheepishly), I am quite the James Blunt fan!

Here’s to 2009!

14. LA Huey Says:

thx

15. me Says:

Gotta second that. Thanks!

16. LALJ Says:

I can’t believe Lil Wayne’s “Dr. Carter” is #5 - it should be on the list of the worst songs of 2008

17. MoJo Says:

Love number’s 1 and 2 :D

18. Ruk Says:

Nice list Rizoh…and big ups on the selections man.

23. Walter Says:

I’m always glad to see Wale getting his props, but man, you’ve got a ton of good songs on here!

I’m not exactly sold on the rankings, but overall, a pretty damn good selection.

24. ☆★✞Latin♛King✞★☆ Says:

I am sorry to say, but this list sucks.

I have seen some other lists on this website and you “they” have done way better.

[...] few days after I threw up my Top 100 Songs of ‘08, I received an email from a reader who was concerned that I was somehow stuck in the 90s. He [...]

26. Ace Says:

Where’s Drake? If you don’t have him on this list then you really didn’t deserve to make it. Jay-Z’s should be in the top five. Especially considering the type of year with had with Barack. You can’t get anymore lyrical than that. Anyways, You Suck…no disrepect

27. Ace Says:

I’m talking about Jay’s History track by the way

28. Anonymous Says:
