6. Eminem
4. Notorious BIG
3. Tupac Shakur
I mean...Arrested Development, they had TWO POP SONGS!
Furthur evidence the general public has absolutely no idea what Hip Hop is, and what distinguishes it from rap. There is a difference, and I suggest everyone learns it. Shit..just call it what it is, VH1. "The Top 50 black artists that had some good songs we got jiggy to in college over the past 20 years or so".
