The J.R. Ewing of Seattle

I like most of these, voted for none. "L.E.S. Artistes" was my number 25 (and the Santogold/Diplo remix of Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Posse On Broadway" was a near miss at number 11, and their mashup of Amanda Blank's version of LL's "I Need Love" and Santogold's "I'm A Lady" was number 13), "No Air" would have been top eighty (I'm not saying that sarcastically; top eighty is a good score). I was considering "Gonna Be Mine" as 2007 (and anyway, I forgot about it). "A Milli" was only my third favorite on Tha Carter III, after "3 Peat" and "Shoot Me Down." Estelle is someone I haven't given much attention to, but from what I've heard I think I way prefer some of her other stuff to "American Boy," which has too much of modern blah classiness for me.

Seven of my choices got into the top fifty, which astonishes me and is only owing to Xhuxk's loving Daveigh Chase's "Happiest Girl In The Whole USA" and MarĂ­a Daniela Y Sonido Lasser's "Duri Duri."
