hahahaha al

the way the bass & drums play off each other on "wait a minute" is so dope

as any rapper been used as a punchline in other rap songs in a funny but non-derogatory way than bow wow?

Ray J?

lol sorry not a rapper

real answer prob Hammer

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.

just curious if anyone else vote for Justin "Nothin' Else"? (similarly rarely acknowledged even on ILM)

real answer prob Hammer

yeah prob

Am I High is one of the few nerd tracks I like, and it's lush.

malice's verse on WHTTB is like the greatest thing ever. utterly sinister, almost evil

one other person voted for "Nothin' Else," in the low 20s.

how about "Take It from Here"?

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.

ok

a great list anyway. thank you for doing this some dude

Old-guy hits-only (all I know) ballot:

1. Clipse – When the Last Time (45)
2. SWV – Right Here (44)
3. Justin Timberlake – Rock Your Body (43)
4. Kelis – Good Stuff (42)
5. Nelly – Hot in Herre (41)
6. N.E.R.D. – Bobby James (40)
7. Clipse – Mr. Me Too (39)
8. Ol’ Dirty Bastard – Got Your Money (38)
9. Kelis – Milkshake (37)
10. Gwen Stefani – Hollaback Girl (36)

this was the track that made me go "ok, pharrell, you're officially putting too many words in your chorus, 'she's a haggler naw i'm not taggin' her' is not catchy."
