These were my picks too, even without consideration of the political climate. B.O.B is such a jam. I just always hated how it got hijacked for the Iraq war though. I remember walking into Walmart, and their TVs dropping down in front of the aisles had CNN on with BOB playing, and I found that awful.

This is correct.
Way back in in its prime, Rolling Stone was actually a music magazine. And they had awesome covers, too. Now they're just a political rag that happens to have some [very poor] musical content.

Fuck Public Enemy. They really unfairly did a lot of damage to Elvis' reputation. A lot of people think Elvis was racist because they just assume Public Enemy did their research. Even Mary J. Blige said Elvis was a racist.
I can understand being bitter that Elvis was dubbed the "King of Rock n Roll" but that wasn't Elvis' fault. He never referred to himself as "The King" and when it was brought up he would refer to his friend Fats Domino.
Great article about it in the NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/11/opinion/11guralnick.html
okay maybe he brought it up once:

I always found it funny that one album later they'd be criticizing the media for the way they reported about Flavor Flav hitting his girlfriend, and not "getting the story straight." Hypocrites who recklessly spread an urban legend, but don't say bad things about them before doing research.
I'd also say Fight The Power is far from being one of their best songs. They made some great music, though, and I still think they're one of the best rap groups ever.

It's not there because it's a good song. It's there because it was probably their biggest song, and because it had a "dance" you could do that made it even more memorable.
Outkast are amazing, and that's a very good song, but it's not their best either.

Stop saying Rolling Stone selected this list. Yes, their staff also voted but they were like 5% of the total voters. They alone didn't put Missy Elliott in the top 10.
