The Top 25 Comedy Rap Songs Of All Time: Nos. 20-16

Yesterday we tackled some tunes dealing with the sweet ride of one Boba Fett, some homegrown hip hop satire, classic Eddie Murphy, and a few more of the most hilarious rap songs that we've happened to run across in the jungles of the Internet. Today we're at it again with some real hits, and an appearance by one of our favorite funny flowmasters, Dudely Jones. Coming in at No. 20 on the countdown we head to Ireland to visit...

20. The Rubberbandits, "Horse Outside"

The Rubberbandits actually got a lot of hate in Ireland when this song made it to the top of the charts, because it portrayed the slums of Limerick as a shithole where people were still riding horses because they couldn't afford cars. Of course, seeing as that is actually true, it's kind of hard to argue with them.

19. Afroman, "Because I Got High"

If you're like Rocks Off you discovered this song by its appearance over the credits of Kevin Smith's Jay and Silent Strike Back. Smith also directed the official music video. Afroman got nominated for a Grammy for the tune, and on at least one occasion listening to it has been used as a punishment for students caught with drugs.
