60. JENNIFER HUDSON- SPOTLIGHT

Hopefully, 2009 will bring more of a positive light in the career and in the life of this talented artist. We're keeping your family in our prayers...



59. BUSTA RHYMES- ARAB MONEY

It's perhaps controversial, it's perhaps idiotic, but damn this is one of the most entertaining songs of the year...maybe I'm just prone to ignorance...or Ron Browz' error-filled use of Auto-Tune.

58. USHER- TRADING PLACES

I wanna fuck so much to this song, it's crazy....too much info...

57. RON BROWZ & JIM JONES F/JUELZ SANTANA- POP CHAMPAGNE

Once again Ron Browz should just stick to making beats and put down the mic, but, this was another song you couldn't get away from in the club...gone as far to "pop champagne" for Barack Obama's victory as newly elected President.....was that necessary to make a song out of it?

56. LUDACRIS F/T-PAIN- ONE MORE DRINK

We've ALL been through this....

55. KIDZ IN THE HALL- DRIVIN' DOWN THE BLOCK

Never thought this track would get as big as it did...

54. Q-TIP- MOVE

This is why Rik Cordero stays one of my favorite directors out right now...

53. CHRIS BROWN- FOREVER

This was corny to me at first....but this is what the radio does.

52. JAKE ONE F/FREEWAY & BROTHER ALI- THE TRUTH

Another Rik Cordero directed gem...but also, this track was instrumental in bringing two household gems in both mainstream and underground rap together, due to the soulful sounds of versatile producer Jake One.

51. BLACK MILK F/PHAROAHE MONCH, SEAN PRICE, & DJ PREMIER- THE MATRIX

I had first posted this track a couple weeks back and it has been getting heavy rotation on my iPod as of late...
