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

[Ted Striker]

Everyones favourite THE BEST SINGLE LINE EVER COMMITTED TO PEN AND PAPER

(I'm gonna play this Vandross/You gonna take your pants off)

The earnestness of Jamie Foxx is also better than any proper acting he's ever done. Ever.

NSYNC's closest brush with respectability IMO

If we can push this back as far as 1998 then there were plenty more great riddims, including this, a personal fav:

 

[Flavour]

another super obvious choice

 

[twentythreedom]

Tuna

 

[stavros]

A fat beat and hook, Usher's new jack swing-esque vocals, Luda delivering a typically excellent interlude and Lil Jon yelling, and it got to number 1;
