with #DeLaSoul now streaming, I could finally include the Greatest #HipHop #ChristmasSong Of All Time (Millie Pulled a Pistol on Santa) in my #HipHopAdvent spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4dWCDJCI7zOfPoI3VXvbnE?si=X5jHrYrxQlOE_mUdl_rtKw

Ho.
Ho ho.🎄

Ending the #HipHopAdvent calendar on #ChristmasEve, MF DOOM wishes you all a merry #Christmas, @profchander @VCP @Shrigglepuss @JMad17 @jordanhirsch & @damonyoung! https://youtu.be/k2XqK_rc3ww

It’s Christmas eve – MERRY MUTHAF***IN’ XMAS EVERYBODY!!!

We’ve had a number of classics on the #HipHopAdvent calendar, but we conclude with what is no doubt the most gleefully festive #HipHop #ChristmasSong of all (this being Eazy-E, comes with all the Content Warnings you can imagine for his usual infantile BS).

24: Eazy-E – Merry Muthafuckin’ Xmas https://youtu.be/z_47nYyJ8js

Cold Chillin' Christmas isn't on Spotify, so for my #HipHopAdvent playlist there I've followed @VCP's analysis and added UTFO's The Real Roxanne: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4dWCDJCI7zOfPoI3VXvbnE?si=1093ce14370d4ebf

(even though The Real Roxanne is obviously not, you know, the real Roxanne)

In which Roxanne Shanté doesn’t mind whether she gets a BMW, a Jaguar, or a Benz for Christmas. 23: The Juice Crew (Big Daddy Kane, MC Shan, Roxanne Shante & Fly Ty, prod. Marley Marl) - Cold Chillin' Christmas https://youtu.be/emHUm_b7QAM #HipHopAdvent #HipHop #ChristmasSong

Only the purest holiday madness (see song 2 of the #HipHopAdvent calendar) could produce a Busta / Jim Carrey collabo #HipHop #ChristmasSong. 22: Busta Rhymes & Jim Carrey – Grinch 2000 https://youtu.be/b54JL0OwMG8

From the Cold Crew’s Rappin’ Christmas and the Treacherous Three’s Santa’s Rap on, not having much to celebrate for Christmas has been a recurring theme on one #HipHop #ChristmasSong after another. Rapsody gives the theme her own personal twist on this track. 21: Rapsody – Destiny https://youtu.be/1aQBds6SJ4k #HipHopAdvent

Okay here it is too, the biggest modern classic #HipHop #ChristmasSong: 20: Run the Jewels – A Christmas Fucking Miracle https://youtu.be/OQ5rI461KNE #HipHopAdvent

The biggest recent Christmas classic: 20: Run the Jewels – A Christmas Fucking Miracle https://youtu.be/OQ5rI461KNE #HipHopAdvent #HipHop #ChristmasSong

It’s almost KRSmas! Mics and turntables, machine/MPC, these are the tools to make fat beats like these. 19: KRS-One Ft. Shinehead & Mad Lion – Holiday Gift Style https://youtu.be/7Lk8XUg5cjY #HipHopAdvent #HipHop #ChristmasSong

Other holidays exist. 18: Daveed Diggs - Puppy for Hanukkah https://youtu.be/gbxyZAduGvY Through its mention of Christmas qualifies for the #HipHopAdvent calendar. #HipHop #ChristmasSong #HanukkahSong Happy hanukkah!

Okay, one more with Snoop. And with Onyx. And with Run-DMC. And also with Keith Murray and Salt-n-Pepa. And incredibly, I don’t think there’s a Bad Boy Christmas album, but there’s this track though, with Puff and Ma$e. 17: Rev Run & the Christmas All Stars – Santa Baby Remix (prod. Jam Master Jay) https://youtu.be/gaVmygbw5yk
#HipHopAdvent #HipHop #ChristmasSong

This track steals its beats from a number of different songs, and steals its concept from yet another (Ice Cube’s Jackin’ for Beats); yet is truly innovative by giving it all a holiday twist. Though in true Master P fashion, the commitment to the theme of #HipHop #ChristmasSong is entirely opportunistic, and apparently limited to the title and the fact that the track was released on one album with Christmas In Da Ghetto. Nevertheless, almost a full #HipHopAdvent calendar within a single song: 16: Master P - Jacking Fo Da Holidays https://youtu.be/Nd2YStFnXGQ

no doubt the most widely known rapped Christmas wish of the early 90s, making this my generation’s no 1 #HipHop #ChristmasSong. 15: Cypress Hill – I Wanna Get High https://youtu.be/_BtHxTZrqpk #HipHopAdvent

tomorrow’s addition to the #HipHopAdvent calendar is the track none of you expected on this list but once you see it there, you will all go OF COURSE IT IS. #hiphop

It’s Christmas all year loooong!!! 14: Kool Keith – 14th Song on the Album https://youtu.be/0Fx1W2paPFk #HipHopAdvent #HipHop #ChristmasSong

to return to the more common themes of the #HipHopAdvent calendar, BONUS: today’s track came from a compilation from which we previously already had one bonus #HipHop #ChristmasSong (Kool Moe Dee’s Surviving Christmas) – I’m adding a further and final one here: Onyx – Jingle Bells, Shotgun Shells https://youtu.be/EoQ7HsHcpkY

Playboys, playgirls and Play-Doh!!!
Let’s have something to cheer this #HipHopAdvent calendar up with. 13: Camp Lo – Star of the East https://x-rayrecords.bandcamp.com/track/star-of-the-east #HipHop #ChristmasSong

Aesop Rock’s contribution to the #HipHopAdvent calendar is in the same category as De La Soul’s, and comes with a very strong Content Warning for its explicit discussion of child sexual abuse. 12: Aesop Rock – Holy Smokes https://youtu.be/V_WcqTRrDh0 #HipHop #ChristmasSong
