THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS, Y'ALL 
96.
All of you probably had it - some time during the very beginning of the year you cross paths with a song and are like OMGZZ!11111 THIS IS TTLY MAii FAV0R1T3 S0N9 Yo0! 
this was MY first "favorite song of 2008" and look it where it wound up. :-/
Nonetheless, do not confuse position on this chart with impact; on the album version and only on the album version I got scared SHITLESS. Never EVER before in my life had a song evoked so much visible reaction out of me, and in all honesty, no song in the future will evoke the response from me that this one provoked: FEAR. :scary: I twitched, jumped, SHIVERED for ****'s sake when I set my ears upon this masterpiece fot the first time. Of course, once the vocals kick in, it's all down hill from there but the song still has enough quotables and strong momentum to keep me hooked for the rest of the ride. Terrifying testosteroni, I tell you.

I was very much turned off by Ladytron at first, because the name alone implied that the band would be pumping out nothing but the finest in electro-dick-sniffing-histrionic-robot-year- 3000-flock-of-seagulls-haircut-music, but I was mistaken and BOY, was it one of my favorite mistakes this year. Distant, ambient, and COOL can all be used to describe this oft-overlooked nugget of cool, which featured one of the most addictive refrains of the year: ("Who wants to say I'm sorry/ Doesn't mean I'm sorry).
I was right about the electro-dick-sniffing though.

It's a bird!
It's a plane!
NAH NUKKA, IT'S DAT SONG FROM DA ZOON KUMERSHU, FOO!
Equal parts frenetic and cool, you would think this song's title would be misleading but **** the misguided...if you spliced Rage Against the Machine and say, A Tribe Called Quest, this would be their super cool, 2nd rate-iPod promoting baby. SPAZ IF YOU WANT TO~!

From the band that brought you the hits
"Le Disko" and
"You Are The One", less synth and more
screaming!
and screaming!
and screaming!
and screaming!
and screaming!
and screaming!
The repetition makes this song though. RARARALALALA!!!!!

Singles: "What They Do", "Be Your Lady"
Favorite Tracks: 1. "Ass Talk (feat. Maceo)"
2. (on the countdown)
3. "Geeked Up"
4. "Steer"
5. (ALL THE AMAZING SKITS!!!)
Remy? Done.
Da Brat? Irrelvevant.
Foxy? Sure, NOW she can hear...but in reality who listened to Brooklyn's Don Diva? I'ma do it like Alicia Keys: NO ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!! 
In the year that most certainly threatened to put the nail in the coffin of female rap, there was a glimmer of hope. Sure, said glimmer was loud, proud and offensive to most conservative ears...or, to be honest, the vast majority of the American music consumers, but this little light shined. As a matter of fact, it damn near ****IN' BLINDED ME.
This light's name? KHIA. The gangstress. The best. And, to most of you living under a rock, "the one that sang 'My Neck, My Back'". Alas, mother****ers, ALAS! She lives...AND she delivered the most raunchy, yet GROUNDBREAKING album of the year 2008.
Lyrical content? Storytelling? Mastery of rhyme and all that ********? Leave that for Nas and the ones who've made it their signature; THE GANGSTRESS felt no need to do her own version of Aesop's fables opting instead to unleash a 20-track assault on your bitch ass with, IMO, some of the BEST SKITS I'VE EVER HEARD ON ANY ALBUM I'VE EVER LISTENED TO, PERIOD. (My personal favorite? "It's Whatever"
)
The beauty in Khia and this album is their complete and utter disregard for conventions and restriction placed upon the sugarcoated music of today. This woman has set upon the road less traveled and to her benefit, displaying EXTREME versatility on her own without anyone's assistance: she can go from "fixing you breakfast butt-naked while you're eating [her] out" to some of the biggest coulda/shoulda/woulda been club anthems of the year in "Ass Talk" and the most radio friendly tune of them all, "What They Do".
At the end of the day, neither Khia nor this album could give a **** about you and if you disagree with the views / language / topics she expresses, but, like a double-edged sword, welcomes the listener with the same outrageous music just the same, no punches held. And that's just beautiful.

No one believes
you,
chick that made that white song that was in White Chicks. Therefore, no one will put their hands on you aside from your equally irrelevant beau, the-guy-from-Third-Eye-Blind. (What's his name again?!?
)
You know what I will touch upon though?!? How awesome and underrated this song was...a sweeping affair that crescendos into a full-force singalong by the end of it. Shame
Gossip Girl couldn't push into the caca stratosphere of mainstreamitude, could've been at least as big as Bareilles....
schnoz.
91.
The token insipirational rap song on this year's countdown checks in around, if not EXACTLY the same position as last year's ghetto story lament "Pain In My Life" by Saigon & Trey Songz .
And like "Pain In My Life", I'll let the lyrics speak for themself. One trick pony, Nyesha(sp?) is not:

L is for the liars that have surrounded me
I insecurities my head down in these streets
F my future there isn't 1
E Eternal hope
This is my life
I wake up every day to the same old foster mother
I ain't got no pictures of my mother
She was a crack fiend nothing like pot mother
She didn't make a difference if though she
Could've I'm a shame shame of my life
Pappa cracky sold me twice
On a late night stopped by
And look in my eyes
Bags from the tears that I've cried
And the people who lied
Telling me that this is my place
Phony & try smile In my face
When I should have know something
Was rare smiled when she opened the mail
Kept a nice mink on her back
Meanwhile I got a goose & my goose got patches
I'm so mad this is me
I'm so hurt this is me
So I shouldn't be
Well I goin be alright cause
[Chorus:]
L is for the liars that have surrounded me
I insecurities my head down in these streets
F my future there isn't 1
E Eternal hope
This is my life
I'm pregnant by a dude & he not 16
But I like his style & his whipp is mean
My mama told me to find a man to take care
Of me & he does buy me things but he beats on me
I come to her for a little advice
So I show up with a black eye
Telling me to know my place so I stay
Waiting for my body phase
Telling myself it just a little pregnancy phase
When all in reality I'm being discourage & disrespected
And under the pressure & I don't really blame the man
I blame my mother for not teaching me the different types of man
Life could never understand my side of story being that it's so consist 18 years
And 9 months developing raised in a prison I guess I'll never make a difference
[Chorus:]
L is for the liars that have surrounded me
I insecurities my head down in these streets
F my future there isn't 1
E Eternal hope
This is my life
Born on to another is the least
Of my problems
Parents like deja vu
My stomach is starving
3 months pregnant idiotically I departed
So ashame of a life that was started
I ask god if he can take the pain away
He made me in denial of every word I pray
Every day it's the same old no talent I'm feeling like
My life is unbalanced no telling what tomorrow going look
Like yea right wrapped up in a fast light for a suicidal
Act why is my life set up for a failure I can care
Less with the people say to ya'll we break out
In rage venting all the hurt inside who am I
To tell you what you fail to realize the voice that you hold
Within you the voice that you are
The Voice Of The Young People!
[Chorus:]
L is for the liars that have surrounded me
I insecurities my head down in these streets
F my future there isn't 1
E Eternal hope
This is my life
