1. Just Lose It - One of my all time favorite Em songs.
2. How We Do - GOATed hood song.
3. Lay Low - Honestly a tie between the one above and the one below with this one.
4. Never Leave You - There wasn't a single day that I didn't hear this song playing somewhere as a kid lol.
5. Bad Boyz - This is hot garbage to me...

1. The Game - How We Do (One of my all-time favourite The Game songs, the beat is awesome and he bounces off 50 Cent super well)
2. Shyne - Bad Boyz (Awesome flow, and love the use of sampled songs and Levy in it)
3. Eminem - Lose It (Early 2000's Em is awesome, I used to dig this song a lot and the music video rules. Just a really fun song)
4. Lumidee - Never Leave You (Uh Oh) (I cannot believe I forgot all about this song, but I used to absolutely love it, so damn catchy)
5. Snoop Dogg - Lay Low (Big Snoop fan but honestly not a song I really ever get the urge to listen to over some of his other ones, beat is nice though)

Busta kills it in that Lumidee song

Lay Low - this is actually from my favorite Snoop album
Just Lose It - classic Em shit here
How We Do - honestly thought this was 50's song for years. It's a classic but not my first choice of songs here.
Never Leave - hypnotic track
Bad Boyz - sounds like an alternate universe Biggie song

3. Just Lose It
4. Never Leave You
5. Bad Boyz

Big gap between top two and bottom three

1. Lay Low - One of my favorite Snoop albums. A banging chorus and beat, this is like some old school gangster stuff.

2. Bad Boyz - always liked this song but could never remember the name, but I love it regardless

3. How We Do - Not my favorite single off Game’s debut album but still a banger regardless

4. Just Lose It - Unpopular opinion but I never thought this Em album was as bad as people say. Yeah, it’s probably not his strongest but I don’t hate it and this song is fun for what it is.

5. Never Leave You (Uh Oh) - Nice beat and Busta shines on this. I could see this playing in a club scene in a movie.

1. The Game- How We Do(I love The Game and it’s songs like this that did it. The Documentary would be a top 5 album for me.)
2. Snoop Dogg- Lay Low(One of my favorite Snoop tracks. Always forget that exists though, need to put in my rotation more.)
3. Eminem- Just Lose It(Great song but way overplayed. Superman should be in this place if I’m bein’ honest.)
4. Lumidee- Never Leave You(Another classic but like Shyne below this. Just can’t compete with these legends.)
5. Shyne- Bad Boyz(I like this but you’re against too many big hitters here.)

1. Lumidee - Never Leave You (Absolute fucking amazing song - such a fucking vibe)

2. Eminem - Just Lose It (A funny song, but always preferred some of the more intense and serious ones)

3. The Game - How We Do (tune confused me - thought this a 50 Cent song. The song is alright - but not going to go out of my way to listen again)

4. Shyne - Bad Boyz (really dislike the sound of his voice. jarring to my ears.)

5. Snoop Dog - Lay Low (Overly sexual - need to work on the lyrics)

 

[Gentleman Jake]

Overly sexual lyrics are a staple of this era of hip hop
