Early 00's Pop R&B/Dancehall/Hip-Hop Bangers

[killer b]

A golden age IMO. Timbaland & the Neptunes were at the top of their game and pulling everyone else with 'em, dancehall was going in the same direction, sean paul guested on everything AND STILL SOUNDED GREAT. Who needed guitars? Who needed the underground? it was all there in the top 30.

Post your bangers below. No slow jams. Extra likes if Sean Paul guests.

You could post pretty much anything from Justified, but I have a soft spot for Senorita. I love a call/response.

Spoiler: trousersnake

My understanding is Pharrel & Chad wrote the songs on Justified for Michael Jackson, but he turned them down - so they offered them to Timberlake. Bet he kicked himself over that...

Crystal poppin' in the stretch Navigator
We got food every where
As if the party was catered

Spoiler: IGNITION

Then after the show its the after party
And after the party its the hotel lobby
And round about 4 you gotta clear the lobby
Then head take it to the room and freak somebody
