dont make lists

#258 - Keith Murray - Dangerous Ground

Can’t forgive him for not using a pseudonym when he’s got the least cool first name in the world, but ah well. Something about the music - a Dilla production. enough said.

#271 -UGK - One Day

Listening to this right now, and it probably should’ve been included a lot higher. RIP PIMP C.

#289 - R. Kelly - Bump N’ Grind

more from the most ridiculous man alive.

#3 - UGK - International Player’s Anthem (I Choose You)

One of those rare megatracks that despite having heard it a few hundred times, I will never fail to adore. Like, say, Born To Run or more recently What’s My Name? the first 3 seconds can’t fail to make me burst into a grin that won’t leave until the relatively awful song that will follow, no matter what it is. SO, I TYPE A TEXT…..

And like Kanye’s 2010-defining Monster, each heavyweight featured has a verse that completely slays. But unlike Monster, no one outshines the rest ala Nicki Minaj, the twin members of both Outkast and UGK are at their absolute best making every second of the track equally classic.

#99 - R Kelly - Sex In The Kitchen

Oh, R Kelly. Tough choice but this earns it due to having the most ridiculous lyrics in the world, even by his standards. Not many autobiographies I want to exist more than Robert Sylvester Kelly’s.

Cutting up tomatoes, fruits and vegetables and potatoes
Girl, you look so sexy while you’re doing the damn thang
I want sex in the kitchen over by the stove
Put you on the counter by the buttered rolls (Right by the buttered rolls)
