#13 “Five Minutes of Funk” – Whodini
Whodini may be the most underrated of hip hop’s first wave, and the one act that survived the Run-D.M.C. revolution. And this classic party track, produced by superproducer Larry Smith, has one of hip hop’s most distinctive synth lines. A track that has aged better than some of their more popular songs, it stands as one of early hip hop’s finest moments.
