A glaring omission from David Drake's 50 best Ca$h Money songs list

Feels churlish to complain about a list which teaches the chil'ren about Lil' Slim's Bounce Slide Ride, Magnolia Shorty's Monkey On The Dick, and Juvenile's Solja Rag, especially since Drake didn't even get final say on the selection, but is any best Ca$h Money Records songs list really complete without Connected For Life?

Mack 10 ft. Ice Cube, WC & Butch Cassidy - Connected For Life

    Mack 10 looks like a Garbage Pail Kid.

    Heard a rumour that Drake isn't safe to walk the Chi again after snubbing Boo & Gotti's Ain't It Man for this list.

    I Need A Bag Of Dope should probably be in here too. Gotta have 1 B-32 Baby joint in a best of CMR songs list.

    I Need A Bag Of Dope definitely. Straight From Tha Ramp & Mac Malph Calio never get enough love too imho.

    Never thought I'd be upset at Complex removing slideshows from their lists but this new set-up is impossible to navigate through. Maybe it works better on a phone but for us old laptop heads it's not happening.

    There's no way Nicki's "Lookin Ass" belongs anywhere near that list. "HYFR" is corny and should be replaced by "The Motto." The order is weird but whatever. The top 10 isn't bad.
