AND WE'RE DONE!!

1. Lose yourself

Eminem 
 
 On October 22, 2002, Eminem released “Lose Yourself.”  The first single from the soundtrack to the film 8 Mile, the song marked a high point in an already meteoric career that still felt in its infancy.  A wildly broad success, “Lose Yourself” would go on to hit number one on 24 charts around the globe, be nominated for five Grammys (winning 1), and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.  A decade later, the song remains his greatest accomplishment, one so dauntingly impressive that it has haunted his diminishing returns ever since.!!!!

2. Momma's song

  On December 13, 1996 just a month before the tragic death Of Biggie Smalls, Hypnotize peaked at number 2 on the chart but ended up at number one in just a number of days. Going double platinum. This song is SO catchy and every word rhymes! 

4. Remember the name

4. Remember the name
Fort Miner


















Probably the most underrated rap song of the 2000's. In 2005 American Rap group Fort Miner released their smash hit "Remember the Name",  It went double platinum and reached number 66 on the US billboard Hot 100.

5. Empire State of Mind

Jay-Z did it again in 2008 with the help of Alicia Keys, with the song "Empire State of mind" Showing some respect for N.Y. city. Winning two Grammy Awards, going 5x platinum in the U.S. and gold in 4 other countries. Not to mention topping the charts in 4 countries. One of my favorite songs of the 2000's.

6- Airplanes

This song was the second single off B.O.B's first album "B.o.B Presents: The Advendtures of Bobby Ray'. He soared high on the charts Topping the charts in six countries including the U.K. and the U.S. And with the unlikely pairing of Hayley Williams makes this my number 9 song!!

7. Dead and gone..

Dead and Gone

T.I. featuring Justin Timberlake




 

 T.I., a man known for writing songs about drugs and women not to mention being arrest on having a bunch of huge guns in the back seat of his car. But in 2009, with the help of his good friend Justin Timberlake, writing one of the most heartfelt songs of the decade. Due to the high number of digital sales the song peaked the charts before it even became a single, after becoming a single it went to the top 10 in 6 countries and went triple platinum.

8.JUMP J-JUMP AROUND!!!

8-  Jump around


House of Pain


 If your a 90's kid then you defiantly know this song. In 1992, Irish/American rap group House of Pain jumped into the scene with the song "Jump around", it instantly became a hit peaking at number 1 in two other countries. with a beat sounding like Bob earl's 1963 hit "Harlem shake" mixed with a catchy chorus to pump anyone up. this is truly one of the great rap songs of the 90's.

9- RIDIN DIRTY

9. Ridin dirty

Chamillionaire
 
   
 Hakeem Seriki aka "Chamillionaire" which I'm guessing has to do with millionaire chameleon...but in 2006, he came out with the song "ridin" featuring rapper Krazie bone. This song has to do with the oh-so stereo typical racial "African american driving with drugs in their cars". I don't know if I like this song because of  Al Yankovic's parody "white and nerdy" or not, but all in all its a good song. It topped the charts on the US billboard hot 100 and made it in the top 10 in 7 other countries. The lyrics catch your attention and it has a good story behind it.

10- They way I am


Eminem


"The way I am" written by Eminem was the 2nd hit of his album "The Marshal Mathers LP". Also featured on his "Curtain Call: the hits" Topping the charts in 3 countries. In this song Em lashes out on critics that are putting pressure on him and his work and overzealous fans. The rhythm of this song is upbeat and mysterious, mixed with  hardcore lyrics..thats why this song is my number 10!
