How this ranking works
Each of these songs was put head-to-head against another Hip-Hop Classics song and a listener picked a winner. Songs are rated with a Glicko-style system that weighs who you beat, not just how often, and carries a confidence value so a lucky two-vote run cannot top the board. Songs still marked provisional have not been voted on enough for the rating to have settled. Only songs with real votes appear here.
