I ticked the know "none of them" box, but there's an outside chance I own a copy of track #2. Even so, I'm not voting for it - it's the sort of hip hop I find particularly irritating (see also: Cypress Hill).

Track #3 by contrast I thought was pretty good. The shoegaze-positive rap combination worked well. Decent rhyming too. I'm guessing this is mid-90s i.e. before conscious/political rap completely lost the plot and became required listening for W!re mag readers.

Track #1 was pretty feeble by the standards of its genre, I thought. So track #4 got my second place vote by default, even though it kinda went in one ear and out the other. I may withdraw my vote if it fails to grab me after a second play.
