Generic list post: "can you believe 2005 was a decade ago?" edition

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

    Nice list. The Game was such a joke in '05, still is to some extent, but "Hate It Or Love It" was undeniable. Also:

    50 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.
