What is your favourite 80's hip hop & rap song?

I like so many it's impossible to choose.

Here's a few old school examples that haven't been mentioned in any of the previous posts:

Rapper's Delight--SugarHill Gang
Bust A Move--Young MC (I loved Young Mc's music!)
Just A Friend--Biz Markie
Freaks Come Out At Night--Whodini
Pump Up The Volume--MARRS

Holiday Rap--M.C. Miker "G" and DJ Sven (similar to Madonna's Holiday song)

Supersonic--J.J. Fad (The S is for super and the U is for Unique, the P is for perfection and you know that we are ???, the E is for exotic and the R is for rap, so tell those nosy people just to stay the h*ll back, SUPERSONIC!)

Da Butt--E.U.

The Roof is on Fire (I don't know who sings this one)

Whitehorse (I forget who sings this song. "If you want to ride, don't ride the white horse!")

Word Up--Cameo

Walk This Way--Aerosmith and Run DMC
