Slip ‘n to Summer With These Jams
6. “Rude Boy”– Rihanna
Yes, it’s raunchy. Yes, she needs to put some clothes on. Yes, she stole the video concept from every Native Tongues video back in the day. But yes, it’s on this list.
7. “Lemonade”– Gucci Mane
Our favorite color happens to be yellow. And we have affection for Lemonheads. End of story.
8. “Unthinkable”– Alicia Keys
In classic Alicia Keys style, this song guts at the heart. If only she wasn’t talking about stealing someone’s husband.
9. “You’re The One”– Dondria
We love You-tube sensations and she, by goodness she is one. She reminds us of a young Brandy, which also takes us back to summer of 1994 and overalls with one strap off. Oh, the memories!
10. “How I Got Over”– The Roots
With instrumentals like a 1970’s Shaft intro, The Roots somehow work a message into every song. These gentlemen just ooze talent, can’t wait for the album release.
Runner-Up: “Power” by Kanye West
