Rich Boy/Mims/Twista

I promised chart topping hits... here ya go.

The first is Rich Boy's "Throw Some D's." Ain't much to say about this one. If you are all about candy paint, flossin', or just whips in general; this has been your jam since the end of 2006. Dirty South, where you at? (Score: 7)

Next up is Mims' "This Is Why I'm Hot." Honestly, I finally heard the rest of the Mims record and it's surprisingly deep. There's more to this guy than just one killer chorus. The problem is I think that "Hot" is going to be his sole claim to fame. Best of luck to him, but I have my doubts. (As a side note, once you listen to this song enough times, you will find that you can basically put any phrase into the 6 syllable cadence of this song. Try it. "I'm waiting for the bus. I need to catch the train. Can't be late for work or they'll fire me again." It's crazy.) (Score: 8)

And finally, you get a Mims homage by Twista and yes, that's right, the R. AKA Kels AKA R. Kelly. Sorry can't help it. He just slays. It's not his best, but I just couldn't resist. (Score: 6.5)

Rich Boy feat. Polow Da Don- Throw Some D's
Mims- This Is Why I'm Hot
Twista feat. R. Kelly- This Is Why I'm Cold

R. Kelly

Obviously, I am not above loving the cheese. But I never could have predicted that I would say the following: R. Kelly is a saviour. Yes, I think he does a disservice to his entire race, and I am still flabbergasted to know that he has songs called "Feeling on Your Booty" and "I Like the Crotch on You" that pass for love songs.

But I have finally realized that of late, the R. is saving records for established stars. If it weren't for his tracks on both the newest Jeezy and Snoop records, they'd be worthless. I love the Big Tymers Big Money Heavyweights record on its own merits too, but his cameo is the jam amongst jams.

Young Jeezy feat. R. Kelly- Go Getta (Gets an 8)

Snoop Dogg feat. R. Kelly- That's That (A solid 7.5)

Big Tymers feat. R. Kelly- Gangsta Girl (A strong 9)

And, yes, Trapped in the Closet is a masterpiece of indulgence and THE melodrama of the modern era.
