3. New Day – Jay-Z And Kanye West – Yeah, Kanye’s verse is better but it ain’t that much better – A

5. Dirt Off Your Shoulders – Jay-Z – The sort of song the President of the USa references – A+

8. What Goes Around/… Comes Around – Justin Timberlake – His greatest moments, beats anything on his newbie by a mile; a brilliant heartbroken breaker – A+
