ReplyDeleteI'd plump for Tony Yayo's Fake Love over anything from Game's first album.

ReplyDeleteThis was a good year for sure
ReplyDeleteThat ODB track is bonkers.
ReplyDeleteNice list. The Game was such a joke in '05, still is to some extent, but "Hate It Or Love It" was undeniable. Also:
ReplyDelete50 Cent & Mobb Deep - "Outta Control"
Young Jeezy - "Go Crazy"
Juelz Santana - "Mic Check"
I think Back Like Cooked Crack 2 was the first thing I ever downloaded from Dat Piff. Shit's really changed since '05.
