MMGs 50 Greatest Songs | XXL
5. Wale featuring Miguel Lotus Flower Bomb
Ambition (2011) Joining MMG was a career changer for Wale.
Despite the DC rappers well-received debut,
Attention Deficit, Olubowale failed to amass
mainstream success, even with a Lady Gaga-
assisted single. After chanting 600 Benz with
Ross on Self Made Vol. 1, for his second album, Wale brought Miguel to assist him on the
seductive and enthralling song for the ladies. It
turned out to be a hit, reaching number one on
the R&B/Hip-Hop category in Billboard charts, as
well as asserting Wales position as a potential hit
maker.
4. Rick Ross featuring Cee-Lo "Tears of Joy,"
Teflon Don (2010) Rozay pours his heart out, like a preacher giving
his sermon from the pulpit. Looking in the
mirror, but I dont see much/Still running the
streets, so I dont sleep much, is enough of an
opening to grab listeners ears and pave the way
for absolute rejoicing on Cee-Lo Greens hook.
3. Rick Ross featuring Drake & French Montana
Stay Schemin, Rich Forever (2012) An instant hit. Whether it was Drakes beef
igniting verse directed at Common or Frenchs
moaning hook, Stay Schemin, resonated with
the public so strongly that even now, 6 months
after its initial release, youd be hard pressed to
find a song that elicits a bigger response from fans when performed. The crowning jewel off
Rich Forever landed on the Billboard Hot 100
when it was released in April as a digital
download on iTunes.
2. Meek Mill featuring Rick Ross "Ima Boss," Self
Made Vol. 1 (2011) One of two street anthems that helped turn Meek
Mill into a star, the Philadelphia rhyme slinger
enthralled listeners with his opening urgent lines,
spitting, Look I be ridin threw my old hood, but
Im in my new whip/Same old attitude, but Im
on that new sh-t/They say they gon rob me, see me neva do sh-t/cause they know thats the
reason thats gon end up on a news clip! Then,
Meek and Rick Ross trading Ima Boss for the
hook makes it a certified street banger and one
to remember for a long time.
1. Rick Ross featuring Styles P "B.M.F. (Blowing
Money Fast)" Teflon Don (2010) Rick Rosss career was thought to have ended
when 50 Cent decided to go after the former
correctional officer. Interestingly enough, there
were no nails punched in his coffin. Instead, Ross
managed to rejuvenate himself, all the while
strolling through in a Maybach. B.M.F. (Blowin Money Fast)an acronym more famously
known for the Black Mafia Familywas the
ominous anthem conducted by Lex Luger that
blasted during Ross march to reinvigorated
stardom. It also served as a forewarning of his
industry takeover. The record stands as the epitome of Ross portrayal as a drug kingpin. And
this portrayal was embraced and enjoyed by
millions of clubbers and concertgoers. I think Im
Big Meech!
PANDEMONIUM is top 5 for me.
