opinions opinions are like ***holes my friend. okay maybe "sucks ass" is a bit harsh. but EVERY SINGLE SONG on his debut is better than that song so i guess i have no clue why somebody nominated this song.

1. "Dear Mama" by Tupac
2. "Shook Ones Pt. II" by Mobb Deep
3. "Runnin" by The Pharcyde
4. "Fight The Power" by Public Enemy

1. "Dear Mama" by Tupac- This is the easiest choice by far, its a shame how many people are voting for Eminem on this.
2. "Shook Ones Pt. II" by Mobb Deep
3. "Runnin" by The Pharcyde
4. "Fight The Power" by Public Enemy

I nominated it because it's a favorite of mine. Obviously it wasn't a stupid nomination if it's in the second round and getting a lot of votes in this round.

1. 2pac - Dear Mama
2. Mobb Deep - Shook Ones Pt. II
3. Nas - Nas Is Like
4. Eazy-E - Boyz N The Hood

I agree, that song is brilliant in all respects. Eminem is one of my favourite rappers, but he has much better songs than Lose Yourself, grammy or not. Stan, Rock Bottom, Hellbound and Role Model come to mind.

 

[Ed!]

1. 2Pac - Dear Mama
2. Mobb Deep - Shook Ones Pt. II
3. Nas - Nas Is Like
4. Eazy E - Boyz N the Hood

 

[The Dream]

1. Dear Mama
2. Shook Ones...not even close...should be a better Ra song there
3. Toughest decision here......but Nas is Like
4. Fight The Power

 

[Legacy]

Voting ends tomorrow.
