My Minds playing Tricks on me had perhaps the most significant riff even if not the most impressive:

It was taken from this Issac Hayes song:

The main riff is the entire hook.

Way to out yourself, kenny.
sorry i only have one account. nobody on ISH shares my POV's when it comes to bashing curry and lebron equally
everyone else picks a side. i chose neither of those choke artist front running bitches
and as for the best hiphop guitar song... pretty obvious

The OP is a Van Halen riff from aint talkin bout love. a straight sample of another iconic song should not count...
I like the riff to rock bottom by em. It's unique, and if you heard me play it on my guitar you would think of the song right away

I think this one also deserves mention

It was kind of like a 'modern' day Aerosmith/DMC at the time

I've never seen anyone call it rift before Kenny did it last week. Not even meant in a bad way, he's one of the few posters, who give positive vibes.

See my post #15.
Kenny and I call it a "rift" instead of a "riff" sometimes when we want to be an absolute utter ignorant prick. See here:

Classic. Most guitar players are gonna say only good things about Knopfler though, so I'm not sure where you're going with it.
...
I actually played in a band in HS with this idiot who called it a "rift". He wrote catchy melodies, but man was he verbally stupid. He also said "Kirk Hamlet" and some other weird mispronunciations that I can't remember.
Wild when people suck at talking.
