Billboard Hot 100 New Entries, November 2001

"Roll Out" by some distance, though I also like "Butterflies."

"roll out" is my second fav luda single

MJ over Luda & Angie

"Alive" is one of the best songs of the decade, no fooling

And one of nu-metal's creative peaks in a list of like 5 things

yeah that song is really good, but anyone not voting "roll out" is actually retarded

would vote for "In The End" over "Alive," but like others here I am voting for "Roll Out"

these polls are really making me rep for the detested alt rock i dug in middle school -- A LINKIN PARK SINGLES POLL IS IN ORDER

to me "Alive" sounds like any given christian rock song only it was pulled off in a manner to make it more acceptable to nu-metal audiences

would vote for "In The End" over "Alive,"

I actually did. I shall now retreat to my cone of shame.

"Always on Time" was the worst song on the radio.

i can't fathom "Roll Out" being more than like Luda's 6th best single even if i didn't have an irrational dislike of it

torn between "Fatty Girl" and "Butterflies" here, "Break Ya Neck" is one of the only Busta solo singles of the last decade that was worth a damn too

"brotha part ii" might be one of my favourite angie stone joints ever - love it a ton more than the original, though that's good too

it's between that and "roll out", with "always on time" trying to sneakily drift past them...

it's just so joyous, the handclaps and the harmonies and the way the beat trips for just a second before the chorus

i dug ja rule at the time because i was approximately 13 years old when he was huge, but i might've hated him if i was the age i am now -- i feel confident in saying that i'd take a constant barrage of ja rule songs over the universe of young money songs (nominally or not) & flo rida & latter day jay-z etc

"Always On Time" was the only Ja Rule song that didn't suck

nooo

"i'm real" rmx, "holla holla", "livin it up" & "put it on me" are all better -- "always on time" is dope tho -- also "new york" but that's more latter day ja

btw someone's publicist has a wiki account...

Ja Rule also teamed up with Irv Gotti in 2004 and created the urban clothing line ErvingGeoffery, which sells fairly well in the big city market. Other money making attributes include Ja Rule's alcoholic beverage Momo Mojito and the very profitable L.I.F.E. Foundation, which schools over 2,500 students in New York, Atlanta, Miami, Los Angeles, Houston, and Dallas. Ja Rule lives in a $1.2 million dollar home in Saddle River, New Jersey and also owns 2 multi-million dollar mansions in California and owns a $3.5 million dollar mansion in Miami. Ja Rule makes an estimated $7.5 million in touring in Europe and Asia, where he has an extremely strong fanbase.

I absolutely loathe most of those songs, PARTICULARLY the "I'm Real" remix which was a plodding piece of garbage.

me and Ja Rule just do not mix

but dan, have you tried his alcoholic beverage Momo Mojito

I really love the simplicity of "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)," the best song about 9-11.

I have not. I'm kind of impressed with this foundation he created solely to school thousands of children, though; today's youth needed to be taken down a peg or two IMO.

"mesmerize" was great too, as well as both the "ain't it funny" and "i'm real" remixes

i also love that the foundation is "very profitable"

The best song Ja Rule was ever involved in was "Boyfriend/Girlfriend"

Fatty Girl is terrific. Roll Out is aiight. Break Ya Neck is the last great Busta single (unless Pass The Couvetc. came out after it or the Stevie Wonder song was a single.) I wouldn't turn off the radio if Brotha, Son Of a Gun or Always On Time came on. Fatty Girl it is. <3 keith murray, such a shame the dude came to little more than a couple good verses.

"Pass" was later, but "Break Ya Neck" was way better anyway...so sad how lame Busta on Aftermath was given how well he and Dre worked on that song

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Thought the previous list (at least the one I saw, may have missed one) was a lot better. Voting for Juvenile. That's a really funny song. (Might actually put Alan Jackson in second place, much to my surprise.)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

did Timbaland ever do a blander, plainer beat than "Roll Out" before, like, 2004?

it's pretty catchy if you ask me

Would have voted "Butterflies."

Two people voted for that Alan Jackson song, really?

Yes, cuz it's excellent.

It's an uncondescending, un-Toby Keith take on how "average" Americans look at geopolitics.

OTM^^^^
