2006 Recap - Part 3 - Top 10 Hip Hop Tracks

Bangers of the year, you know what this is son!!!! Let's get it!

#10 - Shooter - Lil' Wayne & Robin Thicke




















Although his album dropped last year, this song wasn't a single until '06. Crazy R&B Robin Thicke style track with some great Weezy lyrics puts this in the top 10 tracks of the year.
Best line: "You don't know how sick you make us/ I wanna throw up like chips in Vegas" - Weezy

#9 - Suck It or Not - Cam'ron ft. Lil' Wayne
















Song was nuts this year, literally. Weezy drops one of the hottest verses of the year on this track and you know you listened to this track at least a dozen times in a row just listening to the crazy one liners.
Best line: "Got somethin for your face, fuck Pro-activ" - Cam'ron

#8 - Chamillionaire - Ridin' ft. Krayzie Bone













Personally I don't like Chamillionaire that much, no disrespect but his style doesn't do it for me. But you have to admit that this was one of the tracks of the year based on the fact it was absolutely everywhere, and remixes were pretty nice as well. It was catchy as hell too, don't care who you are.
Best line: "They see me rollin, they hatin, patrollin, tryina catch me ridin dirty" - Chamillionaire

#7 - I Wanna Fuck You - Snoop Dogg ft. Akon












The #1 R&B hook singer of the last couple years hooks up with the big boss-dogg and you know it's straight fire. Best smooth rap/r&b track of the year. Track is too sick and if you don't know, now ya know.
Best line: "You know my pedigree/ Ex-dealer used to move 'phetamines" - Akon

#6 - Wamp Wamp (What It Do) - Clipse ft. Slim Thug




















Great lyrics, great steel drum beat, Slim Thugga on the hook, can't go wrong. Album is straight fire and you know the second single won't stray from the pack. Pusha T and Malice straight destroy it on every single bar of this one, an instant classic. This one gonna be on personally mix-cds for a looong time to come.
Best line: "Pull up so mean with the angel bowin/ or with the emblem bearin a stallin / european custom, the leather's italian" - Malice

#5 - Make It Rain - Fat Joe ft. Lil' Wayne














One of the best club & street bangers of the year. Weezy and Fat Joe go crazy on a Scott Storch beat. Whether you like Joe or Wayne or not, this track is insane and everyone was listenin to it for the latter part of the year. After this dropped it started a rainin craze and everyone was throwin dollas wherever they could.
Best line: "I'm in this bitch with the terror/ got a handful of stacks, better grab an umbrella" -
Lil' Wayne

#4 - Hustlin & Hustlin (Remix) - Rick Ross ft. Jay-Z & Young Jeezy












Everyone became a hustler this year but no one looked the part more than Rick Ross. This man looked like he coulda been the leader of a drug cartel easily. Big man with the shaved head and full beard, full of tattoos, the man is great. His album was #3 on my listthis year and this song (along with the remix) was one of the best of 06.
Best line: "Who the fuck you think you fuckin' with? I'm the fuckin boss!" - Rick Ross

#3 - We Fly High - Jim Jones ft. Max B.














This track had everyone and their grandmas and their dogs and their babies ... BAAALLLLIIINN!!!! This song was everywhere this year and even the entire NY Giants defense was doing the ballin after every single play. Easily one of the biggest singles of the year and easily the best ad-lib of the year as well.
Best line: "BAAALLLLIIINN!!!!" - Jim Jones

#2 - Tell Me When To Go - E-40 ft. Keak Da Sneak













The hyphy movement was doing it big at the beginning of the year mostly due to the success of this track. It was nuts and people were ghost-ridin the whip wherever they could. It brought a whole new type of yay-area slang to everyone all over the country and people in Canada were even ridin the yellow bus. Keak Da Sneak and his rasp was all over this one and the video just added to the popularity with everyone going dumb all over.
Best line: "Jesus Christ had dreads so shake em / I ain't got none but I'm planin on growin some" - E-40

Best track of '06 might come as a surprise to some but it shouldn't...

#1 - What You Know - T.I.



















This song was absolutely insane this year!! Along with the release of ATL: The Movie, this song served as a great advertisement for King, ATL, and T.I. himself. Produced by DJ Toomp (a lotta Jeezy stuff ex. I Luv It) this one banged every house party, concert, club, car, everywhere. Released early 06 previous to the release of King this track still gets regular play on my iTunes even into 07. With this and King being on my top 10 this year, T.I. was doing it real big!
Best line: "What you know about that, I know all about that" - T.I.
