7. "Long Tall Sally" - Little Richard



Bit of a contentious pick, but Wikipedia has it listed as a rock and roll 12-bar blues song, and blues is definitely MOBO and rock and roll originated from blacks, plus it's sung by a black man, so I included it. It's one of those songs that you cannot help but move your body too. Plus it's in Predator.

4. "Hell of a Life" - Kanye West

Oh man, Coolio. It's okay that the song I was hoping for didn't end up showing up. Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise" is such a good song.

Now I feel like I did my list wrong and I'm not even done yet. The song I was talking about would be... #4 or #3 on my MOBO list going by my current top 50, depending on whether or not the #1 on it would actually be considered MOBO. You'll know which one I was talking about soon enough, I should get around to that one tomorrow. *mystery jazz hands*

I also feel like I should have included this on my list now, but I didn't so I'mma pollute your topic with it since it's topical:

That's how you do a Top 50, in six hours!

I'm really loving the lesser evil recently, since he's been active in the music forum. I was aware of him before but I cannot say I recall anything he's ever said before the last week or so. Cool dude for sure.

Were those the Black Power rankings?

I'm awfully sorry but I don't know what you mean.
