Perfect song for Ciara. It had the potential to be a crossover hit, but I don't know why it didn't happen! It's such a jam and sassy and fun and just pure greatness.
It's about time Brandy earned another hit! I absolutely LOVE this song. The beat is so addicting, the hook+chorus is irresistible, and Breezy's rap is fun as well!
Kanye West - Mercy (feat. Pusha T, Big Sean, & 2 Chainz)
This song... holy ****. This song is literally epic. The song starts off with an extraordinary hook (SWERVE!) leading up to Big Sean's verse. Then he passes the torch to Pusha T. After he delivers, Kanye takes a swing on the marvelous beat that changed especially for him. Then 2 Chainz makes a grand finale with one of everyone's favorite raps from him. The song is just a pure song anyone and everyone can jam to. It went #1 on two of Billboard's charts, and it rightfully deserved so.
Justin Bieber - As Long As You Love Me (feat. Big Sean)
IMO, this song solidified Justin as a true superstar. It prevented him from underperforming this era and it did it's job well. It went #1 on Rhythmic radio and became a big hit for people (from kiddos to grown men) everywhere. It's pure rhythmic perfection. The "lalalalalala" is so catchy and irresistible and fkojdfkljlsdjlsk. Big Sean's rap also builds to the greatness of this song.
