Mos Shaj Mas Shpine by Unikkatil
--FE International checking in. Being in a language I don't understand doesn't disqualify it for me, but does raise the bar a little bit. This is definitely interesting and I like how it's always driving forward. This is a definite maybe for me.

King Kong by Jibbs
--The beat is bananas, and a cameo by Chamillionaire seals the deal. Yes, please.

Lonely by Akon
--Not a huge Akon fan, it's a bit slow for me, but the Hamsterdance voice over thing puts it into the maybe category for me.

Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado and Timbaland
--Could I really vote for a Canadian in a Hip-Hop themed competition? I guess I can.

Hey Ma by Cam'ron
--Classic. I think this list is already going to be better than the first, and it's going to be hard to select only six.

Battle by Gang Starr
--Another good selection. I fear it's unfamiliarity to me will keep it out of my top 6, but we'll see.

You Be Killen Em by Fabolous
--Not bad at all. Probably slots right behind Battle for me in my rankings so far.

Luckiest Man Alive by Chords
--Not familiar with this song. It's decent. Not sure decent will make top-6, but we'll see.

Raise Up by Petey Pablo
--I half-expected Freek-A-Leek to be nominated, so it's nice to see a different entry from Petey Pablo. Spent a couple of weeks in the Carolinas in the summer of 2001, so Petey Pablo was all over the radio and CD player that summer. Thanks to whomever submitted this, it's a good one.

Radio Edit by Sweatshop Union
--This reminds me a lot of D12, which isn't a bad thing. Another Canadian artist? Did Christian submit two lists or do we have another hidden Canuck in the group? Did not expect this song to make my top-6 going in, but hell yeah, get right in there.
