Big Tymers - Still Fly - Cash Money - 4/13/02 - 99
Cam'ron ft. Juelz Santana - Oh Boy - Roc-a-Fella/Def Jam - 4/20/02 - 77

these were both MASSIVE songs for me when i was a kid -- so hard for me to pick really, but cam & juelz did better in this era with "hey ma" -- "still fly" otoh is the best big tymers single of their second period

J0rdan S., Thursday, 25 March 2010 07:25 (fifteen years ago)

"it's gonna be alright" is one of those sublime j. lo singles, that would def be my #3 -- "addictive" is ridiculous too, would prob be my #4 -- then "hella good"

J0rdan S., Thursday, 25 March 2010 07:26 (fifteen years ago)

I f/w all of these. Yup, even the Sheryl Crow:

the real dangers horses in black neighborhoods face (The Reverend), Thursday, 25 March 2010 07:27 (fifteen years ago)

I would absolutely buy a Now volume with all these songs. And that is absolutely Crow's best. (She was on Cougar Town tonight! Not bad, either.)

Please Do Not Swagga Jack Me (Matos W.K.), Thursday, 25 March 2010 07:29 (fifteen years ago)

i have no recollection of the britney song

J0rdan S., Thursday, 25 March 2010 07:31 (fifteen years ago)

slump thru spottieottie is like, c'mon

J0rdan S., Thursday, 25 March 2010 07:32 (fifteen years ago)

lol, wrong thread obv

J0rdan S., Thursday, 25 March 2010 07:33 (fifteen years ago)

xxp: yeah, that probably is Crow's best, although I'll rep for "All I Wanna Do" and "Every Day Is a Winding Road"

"Oh Boy" was huge for me at the time. I was way into the Roc and that was the first in that trend of awesome post-Blueprint singles that didn't really have traditional hooks, just a vocal sample gluing everything together, which really stood out. Didn't appreciate "Still Fly" until later, when my sense of humor caught up to that of Mannie Fresh.

have you ever seen the crocodile seats in the truck?
turn around and sit it down and let em' bite ya butt

J0rdan S., Thursday, 25 March 2010 07:35 (fifteen years ago)

pretty much whenever i'm on a quarter tank of gas, i think of this song -- it's one of those songs

J0rdan S., Thursday, 25 March 2010 07:35 (fifteen years ago)

oh, definitely

the real dangers horses in black neighborhoods face (The Reverend), Thursday, 25 March 2010 07:39 (fifteen years ago)

i love "still fly" - such an awesome "balling can be a state of mind, not state of bank account" song, the beat struts like a peacock.

it still comes second to "addictive" though because most things in this world do. HE TURNS MY PAGES

لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Thursday, 25 March 2010 09:20 (fifteen years ago)

"hella good", "overprotected" and "oh boy" all top notch too

"overprotected" is the britney single which invented her trademark MAAEEEHHHH

لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Thursday, 25 March 2010 09:22 (fifteen years ago)

i used to have an mp3 of the source bollywood track used for the "addictive" sample - it was really good but i seem to have lost it :(

لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Thursday, 25 March 2010 09:24 (fifteen years ago)

what is "MAAEEEHHHH"?

the real dangers horses in black neighborhoods face (The Reverend), Thursday, 25 March 2010 09:30 (fifteen years ago)

her weird way of saying "me"

لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Thursday, 25 March 2010 09:37 (fifteen years ago)

Love "Addictive"; like "Oh Boy"; need to refresh my memory about what "Still Fly" sounds like (assuming I ever knew in the first place); wondering whether Brian McKnight and Donell Jones might have been good.

xhuxk, Thursday, 25 March 2010 13:53 (fifteen years ago)

Also very doubtful that's Sherly Crow's best song (though I'm not gonna conjecture right now about what was, and I still do like this one.)

xhuxk, Thursday, 25 March 2010 13:57 (fifteen years ago)

"Soak Up The Suck" amirite.

God, I hate that thing.

filling the medicare donut hole with the semen of liberal (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 25 March 2010 14:00 (fifteen years ago)

dude from KoRn was saying "me" like that first

what's pooping ahn (some dude), Thursday, 25 March 2010 14:00 (fifteen years ago)

Brian McKnight and Donell Jones might have been good, but not by then

our xps go triple and four-quadruple (The Reverend), Thursday, 25 March 2010 14:25 (fifteen years ago)

"Soak Up The Suck" amirite

Would almost definitely take any of these over it (just tracking through her Very Best Of CD): "All I Wanna Do," "My Favorite Mistake," "Leaving Las Vegas," "If It Makes You Happy," "Picture," "A Change Would Do You Good." Probably a couple others, too.

xhuxk, Thursday, 25 March 2010 14:51 (fifteen years ago)

I'd add "Anything But Down." "My Favorite Mistake" is still my favorite Crow single.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

System, Sunday, 28 March 2010 23:01 (fifteen years ago)

"one mic" is the best song here but not the best single

51ocki (k3vin k.), Sunday, 28 March 2010 23:10 (fifteen years ago)

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

System, Monday, 29 March 2010 23:01 (fifteen years ago)

"One MIc" is the best song AND the best single imo

A. Whiney Drown (some dude), Monday, 29 March 2010 23:06 (fifteen years ago)

One of the best months yet and only that many votes? Guess I need to start linking these again.

Please Do Not Swagga Jack Me (Matos W.K.), Monday, 29 March 2010 23:55 (fifteen years ago)

people might be more likely to skip the best months, it's way harder to choose!
