Make Captain America Great Again!!

Remember when Captain America was great? Yeah, me neither. In fact, up until Mark Millar had him sign up for the wrong side of the Civil War the character was nothing more than a poster child for American ideals. He was the only character more boring and predictable than Superman.

Despite all of that, there are butt hurt fans crying over the recent plotline that has Cap saying those notorious two words "Hail Hydra." There's more division among the fans than the Civil War story created back in the day. Like most events these days, the best thing to come from all of this madness is of course... the memes...

No matter how bad things seem for Cap right now, can it really be as bad as this...?

At the end of the day, the most interesting thing about this whole ordeal is that it has already been done before and nobody really seemed to care.

Calm down, Internet... everything will be alright...

Top 10 Rap Songs That Millennials Missed

If Hip-Hop were a neutron star that exploded into a supernova then these songs would be the classics sitting just beyond the the event horizon of the black hole that was formed. These are the songs that didn't get the radio play and/or weren't performed by the artists found on everybody's Top 5 so they fell by the wayside. I'm here to give these tracks the extra push they need to find a new generation of listeners. For the purpose of this list, the songs had to have been released prior to the year 2000.

(Links have been provided so that you can easily purchase any of the songs through Amazon.)

10. Pharcyde - Passin' Me By

By far my favorite track on this list so why does it sit at number 10? Easy... you've most likely heard it before. Not many Hip-Hop songs center on emotions such as love and none other come close to expressing it in such a way as this song.

9. Skee Lo - I Wish

There was a time in Hip-Hop when people would deviate from the normal topics and delve into simple subjects. Like this song for example... just a fun and catchy tune about a guy who wishes he was taller.

8. MC Breed - Ain't No Future In Yo Frontin

This is one of those songs that got the radio play but got forgotten due to Breed not belonging to one of the popular rap labels of the time. You have to love that sample of More Bounce to the Ounce in there.

7. Arrested Development - Tennessee

This song grabbed the attention of everybody at the moment due to its originality but quickly fell by the way side once mediocre tracks followed.

6. Black Sheep - The Choice Is Yours

Another song that sits on the threshold because I'm sure most everybody has heard it in one form or another. I can't place it higher on the list for that reason but this list feels empty with out it.

5. Camp Lo - Luchini

Just a fun track that infuses a bit of funk and jazz into a perfect blend of awesomeness. A bit reminiscent of OutKast, no?

4. Ahmad - Back In The Day

A simple track about a guy thinking back to his younger days. Most people look at samples as lazy ways to incorporate a beat. The brilliant part of this song is that the sample can be looked at as something that he used to listen to back in the day.

3. Souls of Mischief - '93 Til Infinity

There have been a few remixes to this song so it shows that the great flow and melody of the track has been consumed and appreciated by some but not nearly enough. Most music from the West Coast came from Los Angeles so it was hard for guys like these and Pharcyde to reach the masses. Unfortunate because it feels as if people from other parts of California brought a bit more diversity and creativity to the scene.

2. Ras Kass - Come Widdit

One of the more obscure songs on this list due to appearing on the soundtrack to the Street Fighter movie. That soundtrack is laced with a bunch of tracks by other Hip-Hop artists including Ice Cube, Nas, and Public Enemy just to name a few. What makes this song so great is the bass heavy beat and a reference to Adamantium back in a time when reading comic books wasn't such a cool thing.

1. Digable Planets - Rebirth of Slick

This track has the perfect blend of spoken word and jazz that just oozes into one of the easiest raps to sit back and listen to. Based on the number of YouTube hits it is easily the most overlooked Hip-Hop track of all time.
