4. Jay-Z - Izzo (H.O.V.A.)
Album: The Blueprint
Year: 2001

What a great song. One of Kanye's first HUGE singles before anyone knew who Kanye was, Jigga in his prime and an unbelievable sample. Who knew that the Jackson 5 could bump so hard? This is just one of those prefect summer jams...I remember blasting this song the summer right before Freshman Year of college. One of the best songs from the G.O.A.T.

Best Lines: Jay-Z

Can't leave rap alone the game needs me
Haters want me clapped and chromed it ain't easy
Cops wanna knock me, D.A. wanna box me in
But somehow, I beat them charges like Rocky
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Not guilty, he who does not feel me
is not real to me, therefore he doesn't exist
So poof -- vamoose, son of a bitch!
