4. I Woke Up
5. Boom! Shake The Room
6. No Vaseline

Definitely Yes
**-Picture Me Rollin' by 2Pac -- Mellow 2Pac, is still good 2Pac. This one will get my vote.
**-The Humpty Dance by Digital Underground -- Yes, yes, yes. Take my vote and let's dance.
**-No Vaseline by Ice Cube -- Not a fan of having to wait a minute to even get to the song, but after that, it was pretty good. NWA gets my votes every time.
**-Boom! Shake the Room by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince -- Will Smith? Wow, who else here is old enough to remember this song? I feel like this was used for a Monday Night football game or something at one point. I'll probably vote for it simply on nostalgia.

Probably Yes?
**-Ooh Wee by Mark Ronson -- A new-to-me song, and it's pretty good. I could listen to this one again.
**-I Woke Up by Fazer -- Never heard this one before, and it's pretty good.
-Grown Up by Danny Brown -- Squarely in the middle for me. Will it get a vote, will have to wait and see.

Probably No?
-Ya Mama by The Pharcyde -- So this is what Yo Mama jokes set to a hip-hop beat sounds like. Meh.
-Thursday In The Danger Room by Run The Jewels -- I feel like I'd have to listen to this one five or six times to really get a good sense for it. Maybe I'll get to do that in this competition?
-Liquid Swords by GZA -- Decent, but the start was a bit slow for me, and almost caused me to skip it.
-Good News by Classified -- Not feeling this song at the moment. It's not bad, it's just not what I'm looking for in this competition.

Definitely No


**Voted for song

GOtta do 2 today so it's go time.

Ya Mama by The Pharcyde


-Man I love The Pharcyde. Classic song.


Ooh Wee by Mark Ronson



-nice lovely beat. this is musical magic



Boom! Shake the Room by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince



-when I think rap, Will Smith never crosses my mind. I doubt this song gets a vote but he was the man back in the day.


Picture Me Rollin' by 2Pac



-RIP to the GOAT. Great song.


Liquid Swords by GZA



-eh, it's ok


Good News by Classified



-very enjoyable. I like. Nice pick.


I Woke Up by Fazer



-ok song. Can't see my voting for it. Just doesn't have "it".


Grown Up by Danny Brown


-the beat sounds familiar, like the song. Screams like a Boc song.


The Humpty Dance by Digital Underground



-classic. Heard this 1 million times so I may not vote for this song. Listened to that album so many times. Packet Man is my personal fav.



Thursday In The Danger Room by Run The Jewels



-this song is missing something. beat just seems off. Irks my nerves.


No Vaseline by Ice Cube


-Ice Cube is my favorite rapper of all time. Love his music. Not my pick but thank you for nominating it (Vernon).

Picture Me Rollin' by 2Pac - This feels like a good song, but I'm not into it.
