8. Next To It (feat Ty Dolla Sign) – Lupe Fiasco – 2014 saw Ty’s public image rise but the NYE Kanye and Paulie guest star track should break hi right through. Based on this track with Lupe, he deserves it – A-
9. Toxic – Mark Ronson – best ODB sample ever – A+
10. Feel Right – Mark Ronson, Mystikal – This is the one, not “Uptown Funk” – A
