hahahaha al
the way the bass & drums play off each other on "wait a minute" is so dope
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 29 June 2013 01:28 (eleven years ago) link
as any rapper been used as a punchline in other rap songs in a funny but non-derogatory way than bow wow?

lol sorry not a rapper
real answer prob Hammer
― some dude, Saturday, 29 June 2013 01:52 (eleven years ago) link
i love "Am I High" so much that i wish i'd given it a vote to get it, or any N.E.R.D. at all, into the top 40.
top 60 isn't bad. i never hear anyone rep for this song or even acknowledge it, so just that in itself is a pleasure.
― billstevejim, Saturday, 29 June 2013 05:35 (eleven years ago) link
just curious if anyone else vote for Justin "Nothin' Else"? (similarly rarely acknowledged even on ILM)

Am I High is one of the few nerd tracks I like, and it's lush.
― Shock G Mo Collier (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Saturday, 29 June 2013 06:08 (eleven years ago) link
malice's verse on WHTTB is like the greatest thing ever. utterly sinister, almost evil
― k3vin k., Saturday, 29 June 2013 06:12 (eleven years ago) link
one other person voted for "Nothin' Else," in the low 20s.
― some dude, Saturday, 29 June 2013 10:00 (eleven years ago) link
how about "Take It from Here"?
― g simmel, Saturday, 29 June 2013 11:18 (eleven years ago) link
u were the only voter for that.
i mean, about half of the 160 songs that received a vote got only 1 vote, so if you don't see it in the top 60, you were probably on your own.
― some dude, Saturday, 29 June 2013 11:53 (eleven years ago) link
ok
a great list anyway. thank you for doing this some dude
