Hello everyone. My name is Pink Matter, and I'd like to present to you all, the Male Pop Icons of the 2000s Rate. Spanning Rap/Hip Hop, R&B/Soul, and Pop/Folk music, we will be rating the music of some of the biggest and most influential male artists of the last decade; artists who have left an impact on their respective genres and deserve some recognition for their work. Also, I felt that ATRL gives too much focus to the ladies, so I want to give the guys some shine. Some artists come swinging out the gate with their first albums while others need another album or 2 to really establish themselves within the music industry. Here we will be rating the albums that helped launch their careers and propel them into super stardom.

2) I Don't Know (feat. P Diddy)

8) Can U Help Me

1) Rate the songs on a scale of 0 to 10. You can use decimals up to the hundredths place (i.e. 6.78). You can also give one song an 11.
2) If you want to leave comments, feel free to do so. It's not mandatory, but it would help make the write-ups/rate more interesting. Plus I'd love to hear your guys' thoughts on the music.
3) If you wish to participate, you must listen to all 59 songs listed. If you happen to hand in unfinished rates, I'll let you know.
4) No trolling. Don't give all zero's/low scores to one album just because you may not like the artist. If I feel trolling has occurred, I will ask you to redo them. Others would just drop your rates. I'm nice like that.
5) The deadline for the scores is August 4th at 11:59 EST. If I do not have enough scores to do the rate, I may extend the deadline. If you think you can't finish by then and need more time, just PM me and I'll accommodate you .
6) Have fun with it!
