Doesn't really help the people who already voted, but I apparently had the wrong version of one of the songs (Lady Venom) in this group. I've updated it now and it should be good to go.

The Real Slim Shady by Eminem
--Absolute classic. This album definitely got overplayed in the ol' '88 Olds in high school. Looking ahead, I think it's pretty safe to get a vote.

It Wasn't Me by Shaggy
--Absolute hate this song. Not even going to listen to it, as I don't want it bouncing around in my head tonight while I try to sleep.

Freestyler by Bomfunk MC's
--Never heard this song before. Sounds like I need to take some ecstasy and grab my glow sticks. Not what I was expecting from this theme.

Lady Venom by Swollen Members
--Another one I've never heard before (this is surprising me as I listened to a lot of hip-hop in this decade). This one is definitely better than the previous song. I could see voting this one by the end of the list.

Never Scared by Bone Crusher
--I ain't nevur scuuuurrrred to listen to this one. Easy vote.

The Thief by Infinite Mass
--Third unknown song. This one is all over the place, but in a good way. The verses I really enjoy, the 'chorus' is a trainwreck with too much going on. I could easily see this song growing on me if it keeps advancing.

Made You Look by Nas
--Sick flows? Check. Banging beat? Check. Getting a vote? Check

Let's Get It / Sky's The Limit by Jeezy
--This is the type of songs I was expecting with this theme. While not my favorite, it is good. Likely getting a vote.

Crank That by Soulja Boy
--While it was WAY overplayed on everything when it came out, that doesn't make it bad. Plus, it brings back the memory of my wife trying to do this dance at a middle school dance with her students...ROFL. Gets a vote purely for nostalgia.

Superstar by Lupe Fiasco
--If this song was just the flow part, it'd get a vote. However it isn't, so no vote from me.
