1. Kanye West featuring Lupe Fiasco - Touch The Sky
Although Kanye West’s latest music video for “Touch The Sky” may be his cheesiest one, the infectious nature of the song itself is undeniable. Lupe Fiasco helps his fellow Chicago-an unseat last week’s chart-topper, Ghostface , from the number one position.
2. Ghostface featuring Ne-Yo - Back Like That
With Def Jam label-mates Ne-Yo and Ghostface gearing up for brand new albums respectively, the timely nature of “Back Like That” is only rivaled by the chemistry between those two.
3. T.I. - What You Know
Following the lukewarm reception of his yawn-inducing first single “Ride Wit Me”, self-anointed “King of the South” T.I. has found an effective single to announce the arrival of King, his upcoming CD.
4. Remy Ma – Conceited (There’s Something About Remy)
Remy Ma is still burning up the charts with her unsophisticated single from There’s Something About Remy: Based on A True Story. The album features collaboration with the late Big Pun, which was recorded before the Terror Squad veteran passed away.
5. Busta Rhymes – Touch It
As the investigation of the circumstances surrounding the murder of Busta Rhymes’ bodyguard, Israel Ramirez, gets murkier by the day, the rapper might experience some delay in the release of his full length project ironically entitled The Big Bang.. Regardless of the tragic setback, Busta has finally rapped up the now infamous remix of “Touch It” featuring DMX, Missy Elliot, Papoose, Lloyd Banks, and Mary J Blige.
6. 50 Cent featuring Olivia - Best Friend (Remix)
50 Cent recruits G-Unit’s first lady Olivia for this poignant remix. “Best Friend” is one of the songs on 50’s Get Rich or Die Tryin’ official movie soundtrack. 50's G-Unit imprint has become a revered hip-hop label armed with an arsenal of heavyweights like M.O.P, Mobb Deep and Mase.
7. Juvenile - Rodeo
Back with a new album titled Reality Check, Juve promptly checks in on the backside of the female anatomy. The song has been enjoying rotation in media outlets lately.
8. LL Cool J featuring Jennifer Lopez - Control Myself
His ability to rock the dance floor effectively even at 38 is one of the reasons the Ladies Love Cool J (well, besides the flirtatious lip-licking). Todd Smith re-unites with Jennifer Lopez for this single designed to move the masses. Consider the dance floor moved.
9. Bubba Sparxxx featuring Ying Yang Twins and Mr. Collipark - Ms. New Booty
Bubba Sparxxx has never lived up to his full potential as a stalwart emcee. But, as they say, third time’s the charm. With booty-licious singles like this, Bubba hopes to ignite some serious sparks on his third outing, The Charm.
10. Dem Franchise Boyz - Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It
If the rest of their album On Top of Our Game is anything like this, then DFB may be walking the thin line between innovation and monotony. Regardless of their album’s outcome, these ATL “snappers” have the power to make people follow instructions on the dance floor for now.
