number eight tipsy j kwon
[Music]
the music video for this track might
just be the most 2 000 thing
ever but the song itself is still pretty
good
[Applause]
tipsy was a chart-topping success when
it was released in 2004
making it to number one in the uk and us
and coming in at number two on the
billboard hot 100
while it's probably the only jaekwon
song you know that should do little to
diminish its staying power
as tipsy remains one of the decade's
most fun centric tracks
seriously throw this on at your next
house party and see what happens
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
number seven lose control missy elliott
featuring sierra and fat man scoop
music make you lose control
[Music]
nearly a decade and a half later and
this song is still causing people to
bust and move whenever it starts to play
face chubby legs in shape
shaking both ways make you do a double
tape
planet
[Music]
missy elliott has produced no shortage
of funky hip-hop tracks in her
illustrious music career
but for some reason this one hasn't
gotten the same amount of love as the
others
which is a shame because lose control is
freaking awesome
[Music]
the song is overflowing with style from
start to finish
something that shouldn't come as a
surprise seeing as how elliot wrote and
produced it herself
we completely understand if you want to
pause this video and go watch lose
control in its entirety
just make sure you come back when it's
done number six
right there
[Music]
okay full disclosure nobody has ever
forgotten how awesome this song is but
due to chinese how do we put this
lightly
lack of involvement in the music
industry since its release
people may have forgotten that right
there is actually a pretty sweet track
all on its own
released in 2003 the song is a head
bobbing club friendly tune that you
don't really need to understand in order
to enjoy
[Music]
when it hit the airwaves it dominated
the charts and turned changi into a
household name
he may have fallen off but this song
never has
number five best i ever had drake
you know a lot of girls be thinking my
songs are about them but
this is not to get confused drake has
dropped so many hits on us in the past
decade that it can be easy to forget
where it all started
best i ever had served as the lead
single off of his debut ep so far
gone and despite the success he's
achieved since remains one of the
catchiest and most recognizable tracks
of his entire career
[Music]
the song earned two grammy nominations
including best rap song
and provided the canadian rapper with
his first top 10 single
in retrospect best i ever had was a sign
of what was to come for drake
heartfelt tracks about love and loss
that everyone can relate to
number four what would you do city high
boys and girls wanna hear a true story
saturday night was at this real wild
party
this song is catchy and accompanied by a
hard-hitting message about the struggles
of being a single parent
now there's a combination you don't see
every day what would you do was the 2001
anthem from hip-hop trio
city high that the world didn't even
know it needed all these years later and
not only does the song's core message
still ring true but it hasn't lost an
ounce of credibility
[Music]
what would you do peaked at number eight
on the billboard hot 100 and earned city
high a grammy nomination
not too shabby number three lean back
terror squad hey yo ho ho ho look y'all
got to calm down man
listen i just got ordered some fat joe
himself what right now ain't nobody else
getting in
what we at capacity what that mean we
full ah
everybody get over here let me hear yeah
every summer has a song that defines it
and in the summer of 2004
that song was leaned back by terror
squad
[Music]
if you don't remember who terror squad
was allow us to refresh your memory
they were a hip-hop crew comprised of
multiple rappers that included
fat joe dj khaled remy ma and the late
big punk
lean back was far and away their most
successful song dominating the billboard
hot 100 for three straight weeks
and finishing as one of the top 10 songs
of the year nowadays it's mostly
remembered for its simplistic lyrics and
club friendly beat not that we're
complaining we could bump to this
all day number 2 21 questions
50 cent featuring nate dog new york
he may have been one of the foremost
gangster rappers of the 2000s
but when he released this song in 2003
people began to look at him in an
entirely new light
[Music]
21 questions was the second single
released off of 50 cent's hugely
successful studio debut album
get rich or die trying and it proved
that the new york native was far from a
one-trick pony if i fell off tomorrow
would you still love me
if i didn't smell so good would you
still hug me if i got locked up and sent
this to a quarter century could i count
on you to beat it and support me
mentally
a head bobbing love song with lyrics to
match 21 questions was an
absolute smash topping music charts and
cementing 50 cent as someone to watch
for the remainder of the decades
awesome you could say that if you liked
that number two entry just
wait till we get to the number one pick
it's one of my personal favorite songs
but before we get there here are some
honorable mentions slow motion for me
slow motion for me
[Music]
i like it like that sheet working that
back i don't know how to act if you give
it to me
i'll give it to you i know what you want
you know i got it baby if you give it to
me
i'll give it to you as long as you want
you know

number one country grammar hot [ __ ]
[Music]
nelly
[Music]
it's difficult to express just how big
nelly was in the 2000s
everything the st louis native touched
turned to gold and it all started
with his debut album and its titular
lead single country grammar remains one
of the decade's most iconic hip-hop
tracks
and it was brought to life through
nelly's charm charisma and skill
the rapper's silky smooth delivery
perfectly complements the track's simple
yet catchy beat
the song would signal the start of
something big for the future grammy
winner as he would continue to drop
catchy hits like this one for the rest
of the decade
songs like shaky tail feather and hot in
[Music]
here
seriously the man was a machine
there's truly nothing like country
grammar did it pave the way for old town
road
maybe should nelly hop on that remix
howdy
