Through the Sieve: Best of 2006 Jamz

These 100 songs may not be critically acclaimed or have much value past this year. Some might say these tracks killed Hip Hop. Yet, I've asked myelf, what is Hip Hop if it doesn't make you move and get excited. Ultimatley, these tracks got me going like none other. I based my 100 on how much I liked them and, more importantly, how much (and how loud) I listened (and bumped) these tracks this year. Comment if you like or say what you think is missing. Lisssstennn!

34 yung joc goin down
Not to toot my own horn, but I was on Joc a few months before he even hit the bootlegging circuit. I just could not get this out of my head for months yet it eventually was played out. And once I saw how monotonous Joc could be, I was like ‘Oh my’.

19 ghostface josephine
My fav ghost of the year, "She used to be thick its like where the hell her ass go... the monkey on her back is now a gorilla... up all nite under the party lights..."
18 kiotti phone song (minute plan)
Easily not the best song of the year, yet coupled with the beat and lyrics it’s just a fun song… Yiotti "Short yellow bus in my lap she give stupid head...Bully in the playground and in ya panties i beat it up."
17 smitty akon natural born hustler
16 weezy what you know flow
"I'm a NO gangste after the storm... I'm so far ahead yall i got a time difference... zigzag thru that traffic like Emmit"
15 weezy snoop outkast hollywood divorce
Surprisingly Snoop & Outkast offer decent verses, yet he shines Weezy’s best verse of the year, "Hollywood comes thru my hood w/cameras on... the hurricane came take my LA home... this whole country wrong... put a lil ice on... spent 100k on mine just to feel different whats the real sense of it... lil wayne but hollywd its little wayne."
14 jay z grammy family flow
"Hey, remember Doc played for 76ers, that’s I said im on top of 76th floor" Ok, Jay. Rule 1 in art, you don’t explain. "Hit the same vein like Curt Kobain did… I’m so independent I might buy Koch"
13 lil scrappy buck money in da bank (hell rell rugers in da trunk, weezy half on a dank)
The best beat of the year and while Scrappy's & Buck's version was good, Weezy and Hell Rell’s added.
12 kanye west john legend glc cons grammy family rmx
The original was great, yet the addition of GLC made this a classic,"Two Grammy award winning features but at the Grammys I was sitting high in the bleachers... cheifin I was reekin... I couldn't see success, couldn't reach it... she be speakin Spanish and I 'ont even speak it, 'como se llama lil mama'... at first we just wanted to live decent, waitin on my time like I'm sittin in the precinct... when they see they folk on videos and features, give a nigga hope like horiscopes and preachers... duplicate the cake and get like us, we can buy meals like breakfest and lunch, fuck it man I'm callin it brunch, everyday like the first of the month."
11 joe budden broken wings flow
"My tight knit circle turn into an oval, filled with muthafuckas just pretend who know you... you dont feel what the pencil stress then 8 times out 10 you aint been through shit... that open emotion... im giving that nonfiction... thats my mom in me I love niggas I shouldnt... fuck record sales I give them something to believe in... feel like a-rod... yup im in my prime...rappers flying high then got suicidal imitate jim jones end up like cory lidle..."
10 ciara promise
I’ve heard this song so much and I’ve watched the video even more…
9 dj unk dre 3000 jim jones walk it out rmx
Didn’t care too much for the origanl version, yet Dre delivers with one of the verses of the year. Best dance of the year was the "Walk it Out". "Walk it like an usher if ya said real talk prob wouldnt trust ya... ya whtie tee to me look like a nite gown."
8 jay z prelude
H O V showed he could come back, but he also showed that he knew how to stink up the joint too. This intro is a nice high for the comeback. He so concise and right, "The games fucked up niggas beats banging nigga ya hooks did it ya lyrics didnt ya gangsta look did it..."
7 yola i aint gon let up
Again from out of nowhere came this banger. Its refreshing that this ATL joint was real and straight to the point. "See i dont know what yall been told... im a get money nigga so i kick in some doors... the gutta raised me so its gutta til i die... nigga get yaself together go give ya brain a bath go to church and start listenin and get on the right path..."
6 elz weezy i cant feel my face
I know many do not care for Weezy and Elz but with Jay Z’s "Intro" beat redone – this was straight fire… Elz and Weezy completely deliver here… "I feel ya pain and I see ya stress, how they think ya people 'pposed get thru Katrina with FEMA checks...That’s the mindstate of kids growin up"… "Straight up d-boy 17th ward bitch Katrina turn my city into a sea shore…we call the cocaine rice, we call that Condelezza... I cant take back where i come from so i learn how to make that..."
5 papoose boyz in da hood
With so many Papoose songs to choose from I was at a loss. "Boyz" stood out to me with the beat and the opening lyrics ""Ricckkyy, One hand on my Desert Eagle my other hand on my dick taking a leak fool… Tell me u a g that aint a g move..."
4 clipse mr me too
Four years and this? I’ll take it.
3 gnarls barkley crazy
Out of nowhere comes this unlikely duo… Cee-lo never sounded better.
2 yung joc short dawg patron (get like me)
Best Joc of the year, better than "Goin Down" even though they are similiar. The song bangs and the flow is so infectious.
1 ti what you know
"What You Know" was never played out for me and even when it comes on today I’ll get my best TI on - you know making them hard faces in an imaginary 2x2 box.
