dgc360: There is only one Hip-Hop Christmas Song.

ONLY ONE (new window)

Thank you. This thread is now closed.

dgc360:

Amen.

Has anyone seen the commercial that's been running with some random pretender to the throne blatantly covering this song? I can't remember what the ad was for, I was too busy asking my wife "who would do this? who would think that a cover of 'christmas in hollis' would be better than the actual 'christmas in hollis'? WTF?"

I got that sympathetic head-nod and slowly-backing-away thing she's always giving me...

Die Hard and Run D.M.C.. Two of my favorite Christmas traditions :)

Wasn't there an entire Run DMC christmas ALBUM?

I could see a country version, "All I got for Christmas is Drunk"...

And a letter from Santa that the dough was for me!@

It's ok. That one song is so full of win that it's as good as most groups full albums. Easy mistake to make :)

/Now I have a machine gun ho-ho-ho

I thought Jingle-Ballin' was when you nailed your wife/gf on Christmas eve.

Meh... It's not Hip Hop but this is the best Rebellious Christmas Song evar!

"Give all the toys, to the little rich boys"

Weak-ass article. FOR GOD'S SAKE it lacks The Waitresses' farking Christmas Wrapping, my favorite farking Christmas song beside The Kinks' Father Christmas. And I'm pretty sure Curtis Blow's Christmas Rappin' was THE first.

The Quad City DJs ("The Train") did "What I Want For Christmas," that was some booty-slappin' shiat. And if you're into that Stones Throw shiat, it was on a free (?) mixtape by Peanut Butter Wolf last year called Badd Santa featuring all kinds of weird shiat. Some James Brown, some Kwanzaa song, etc.

also Run DMC did Christmas Is... quite a while after Christmas In Hollis, but I'm pretty sure that was it.

Pretty much what I came here to say.
/nuff said

Hmm ying yang twins have a sing called "ho ho hoes"
David banner has one on crunk and disorderly about stealing presents
And eazy-e has merry mutuafarkin' Christmas
And snoop has one which name slips me
And the snoop impression song "Christmas time in the lbc", think that was on kevin and bean

Santa Claus is Coming on Moms
Jingle Balls
I'm Dreaming of a White Woman
Frosty the Dope Man
All I Want for Christmas is the Charges Dropped
Deez Nuts Roasting on an Open Fire
A Sleigh Ride in my '64
Ante Up, biatch, It's Christmas
..and many more

/my favorite

How in the world did my MTV-brainfried self totally miss Christmas in Hollis?

I must say I was entertained.

Cheech and Chong predate hip-hop, But Santa Claus And His Old Lady is a Christmas classic.

The single greatest hip hop christmas album ever.

Listening to it right now.

Just in case, let it be said again...

CHRISTMAS IN HOLLIS.

/that is all.

Quad City DJ's and The 69 Boyz - What You Want for Christmas

Actually, Stones Throw Records has the best Christmas mix here. Too bad it's not 2005 anymore, as I can't seem to find a working link for the mp3. I realize Stones Throw isn't as white as Def Jux or Rhymesayers, but it should be white enough for Fark.
