The list was compiled last year and doesn't consist of the most talented songs.

The list is decided on many factors, but the main factor is the test of time. Songs like Billie Jean and Lose Yourself don't require a lot of talent. Music isn't about talent, it's about expression. If it was about talent, the list would be full of classical composers.

The list depends on how popular the song is and how people like it. I try not to be too biased when it comes to songs and I respect many of the 100 songs VH1 posted, but obviously there are songs that I don't agree with. Like R.Kelly's I Believe I can Fly, how come that song isn't on the list? Or Elton John's Circle of Life? Eminem's Lose Yourself? Some songs are ranked too high or too low. But the songs are compiled based on numerous genres. It's like how someone mentioned rap being in the top 10, granted it's the least talented of any genre other than techno, but it's music. I'm sure many of you have heard a rap song that you just couldn't get out of your head. It's about how the song is expressed, and because many of us are not in the studios, none of us realizes how much effort is put into these rap albums. I always knew people like 2Pac and Eminem put a lot of hours into their music. Freestyle does not work in the music industry and they knew that. So please, don't bash a genre like that.
