    "comment": "This was named the Greatest Hip-Hop song of all time in a 2012 list compiled by experts for Rolling Stone. The magazine said it was the first track, \"to tell, with hip-hop's rhythmic and vocal force, the truth about modern inner-city life in America.\" Sugarhill Gang's 1979 hit \"Rapper's Delight,\" was runner-up.\n--\nDid you know that Phil Collins got the idea for the lunatic laugh in the 1983 Genesis song \"Mama\" from this track?",
