16. Jay-Z f/ Big Boi, Twista & Killer Mike “Poppin’ Tags” (2002)
Album: The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse
Kanye gets shouted out by Twista on this one, at quite a few syllables per second. Soul songs get passed all around. This one was a Smokey Robinson composition called “After All,” performed by the Marvelettes. The Marvelettes were most famous for their version of “Please Mr. Postman,” which was later covered by the Carpenters, the version sampled for Juelz Santana’s “Oh Yes.” This song gives you a strong East Coast presence with Hov, a southern presence with Killer Mike and Big Boi, but also an up-and-coming Chi presence with Twista and Ye, the pair that would later put Chicago back on the map with huge hits.

really? the takeover as number 1? smh
i’m not reading 26 different pages for what’s spose to be 1 fkin list! greedy bastards just want ad-view money.
I think this is accurate list with the exception of a few tracks( spend the night-marey carey, wouldn’t get far- game, a star is born- jay z )
Too lazy to go through whole list, but Through The Wire should at least be in top 5
Very nice list! Ya’ll shoulda put Camron’s Dead Or Alive, Do Or Die’s Paid the Price, Freeway-Hear The Song.
This track isn’t a Bette Midler sample, they had to recreate it in order to clear. 5iveit
All I know is “Through The Wire” and “Down”(Cam’Ron) are some energetic azz beats
Do Or Die – Higher was one of my favorites
An 88 Keys list would be awesome

I thought Spaceship should be on this list.
