I secretly love this 50 Cent song now, will download tonight I think!

I got a cd single of it in a charity shop! :lol:

I got mine when it originally came out! :lol:

After 2 classic brilliant songs we get this

I love this but just because of Ne-Yo. :P

If only Britney released "My only wish this year" as a single back in the day.

 

It would be now a classic like AIWFCIY, me thinks.

Considered one of the best lyricists to emerge in the wake of the Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac's deaths, Jay-Z has since carried the flag of hip-hop narrative skill. His Roc-A-Fella family had already created a solid reputation based on Jay-Z's 1997 debut. As his fame has grown, so has his tendency to bring more R&B production elements into his work, creating a club-friendly, danceable version of east coast gangsta hip-hop that hasn't diminished his reputation as a preeminent force in rap. Perhaps even more importantly, Jay-Z has become a powerful music impresario. In his role as president/CEO of Def Jam in the early 2000s, he fostered the careers of popular R&B singers Rihanna and Ne-Yo, and enjoyed a high profile as a co-owner of the New Jersey Nets basketball team. His long relationship and eventual marriage to superstar Beyonce has further endeared him to fans - HMV

Same, her version is amazing!

If only Britney released "My only wish this year" as a single back in the day.

 

It would be now a classic like AIWFCIY, me thinks.

 

I agree with this. I remember thinking at the time it was the new All I Want For Christmas

Love You Know Me. :wub:

Alicia is great, but 'Empire State Of Mind' is supremely irritating.

 

YAY top 15 for Robbie, hopefully it can scrape into the top 10 next week. Songs like this proves he still has it.

Robbie :wub:

This song has grown on me so much mroe after his performance last night - should definitely be top 10 next week. :heart:
