“It is very stupid that this song is not number 1!
everyone knows "dont push me because I'm close to the edge! "”

“such a huge song that it’s impossible to not have heard it somewhere, even if you haven’t heard the whole song. The signature synthesizer riff has been sampled by a million hip-hop artists and is the primary reason this group became the first ever hip-hop act admitted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (2007). This song was chosen by the Library of Congress to be added to the United States National Recording Registry, and is also #51 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time (the second highest for any song released in the 80’s.) One of the first old school rap songs to address POVERTY, the struggles and frustrations of living in the ghetto—and it was selected by the Registry for this exact reason.”

“cmon on rolling stones 500 greatest songs of all time this was the only rap song on the top 100 this should be number 1”
