9. XO – Beyonce – The album’s catchiest moments is my bet for the first single, it sure should be: a magical layerering of sound each better than the track before whosh, beats, Beyonce, background vocals, strings beats all there for absolute desire but pretty desire, “Love the lights out, turn the lights out, in the dark it’s nice out…” Amazing song – A
10. Is That Your Chick (Lost Verses) – Memphis Bleek, Missy Elliot, Jay Z – One of Jigga’s greatest lesser known raps, I owned it on an EP given away free with Hard Knock Life – A
