Oooooooooo

1. Cold as Ice
2. Over and Over
3. Poppin' tags
4. Welcome to Atlanta
5. Love Me or Hate Me

Blew my fucking MIND remembering Lady Sovereign, I gotta go YouTube her shit now lol
Always loved Cold as Ice and Over and Over, so those were hard to choose between.
Was never a fan of Poppin' Tags but it's not bad.
I'm a New Yorker so anything about Atlanta absolutely cannot go above 4 on my damn list.

These selections are great and very diverse, great job!

Used to blast that Nelly track quite a bit, definitely holds up even now. Always really enjoyed the vibe of it, very chill, mellow song

Close between that and Cold As Ice for the top spot, was hard for me to decide but went with Nelly in the end. These songs bring back such good memories

Lady Sovereign hasn't really ever been my thing and the competition is pretty tough in this selection as well

1. Nelly - Over And Over
2. M.O.P. - Cold As Ice
3. Jermaine Dupri - Welcome To Atlanta ft. Ludacris
4. Jay-Z - Poppin' Tags
5. Lady Sovereign - Love Me Or Hate Me

 

[Kiffy Lube]

No clear cut winner from the start. Back to the grind.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

1.M.O.P.- Cold As Ice(Pretty much everythin’ they do gets me hyped. My Brother would also slap me if this isn't the #1 here.)
2. Jermaine Dupri- Welcome to Atlanta(This is just classic. I wish Mase did a song like this for New York. Maybe there is one, if there is show me.)
3. Nelly- Over and Over(Do I like this or Dilemma more? Both incredible. This is how I like my Nelly, I know kind of insulted him earlier in the tournament.)
4. Jay-Z-Poppin’ Tags(There are like 60 Jay-Z songs I like more than this.)
5. LS- Love Me Or Hate Me(I actually hate this song.)

 

[CakeWalker]

1. Nelly & Tim McGraw - Over & Over (An absolute fucking tune! One of the better male duos of all time and a great genre fusion.)

2. Lady Sovereign - Love Me Or Hate Me (One of the best female Grime star back in the day - great lyrics and a great tune. Absolute throwback <3 People probably won't like her though, good lyrics annoy people)

3. Jermaine Dupri ft. Lud - Welcome to Atlanta (Liked the way in which Luda opened this tune. Got that cool old school vibe with a good flow and logical lyrics that getting lost in a muffle.

4. Jay-Z - Poppin' Tags (I never really understood Jay, apart from when he did the collab with Linkin Park. The additional cypher team does help the song and then it doesn't - but not really sure what poppin' tags even means)

5. M.O.P. - Cold As Ice (Foreigner sample is the only part of this song that is any good - thought the rapping was pretty garbage and just nonsense)

 

[CakeWalker]

Damn Yanks burying Brits out here.

1. Cold as Ice
2. Love Me or Hate Me
3. Over and Over
4. Poppin' Tags
5. Welcome to Atlanta

Top 2 great, Over and Over is an East Texas anthem and that's not a compliment but I can't hate it too much

 

[Jimmy King]

1. Welcome to Atlanta - I know this is Jermaine’s song but I love this song for Luda. Early Luda was a big part of my teens in high school and for that I’ll always have a soft spot for him, and this song still bangs.

2. Cold As Ice - I love the Foreigner sample on this one and the raps go just as hard, and flow well with the sample track.

3. Poppin Tags - No offense to Jay-Z but I feel like he’s outshined here by Twista, Killer Mike, and Big Boi. Solid track regardless though.

4. Over & Over - Not my favorite Nelly track but still not a bad song by any means. It’s got a nice sound to it.

5. Love Me or Hate Me - No offense to Lady Sovereign but I just wasn’t really feeling this one.

 

[Chris]

I'd def agree the features killed Jay-Z on that track lol

1. Over and Over - timeless
2. Cold As Ice - really like how they flipped the sample and the verses are just plain hard
3. Welcome to Atlanta - beat is smooth as butter and Ludacris and Jermaine Dupri were in usual form
4. Love Me Or Hate Me - seems almost like a guilty pleasure, it's just such a mid-2000s MTV jam
5. Poppin' Tags - clearly a Kanye West production. Big Boi had my favorite verse.
