Love it or hate it, "Lollipop" is Wayne fully unhinged, yet somehow able to fit into a pop song formula. It's one of the strangest and most abrasive ballads to ever hit the airwaves, with all empty space and drug addled Auto-Tune mumbles. That it's Wayne's biggest hit is an oddly appropriate contradiction. Here is a scrappy troll of a gangsta rapper turned into a sex icon, singing passionately with a singing voice that would be atrocious had it landed in anyone else's body. But he sells it on presence and persona. And, yes, today you aren't going to ride around with your homies listening to "Lollipop," not just for any implications but because the song is dangerously played out. So consider instead the very slept-on remix, which keeps the beat and the Auto-Tunage, but runs three strong verses of actual rapping through it all. Kanye makes a big show about how he's not going to let Wayne murder him on this track. ’Ye sounds great, playing the scrappy underdog position where he's most comfortable, but none of that stops Wayne from still basically murdering him with the verses that follow.

Nice job on the list man. I know this is kinda an old rticle but to really look at his catalog of music and put together a top hundred is daunting and this was a good job. it include both old and newer music. So of course here's my list of THE FORGOTTEN; 1. Tie my Hands 2. Receipt 3. Oh let's do it (no ceilings) 4. Ice cream paint job (no ceilings) 5. wasted remix 6. gonnoreha 7. roger that 8. Pray to the LORD But yeah Love tha list mayne

AMarz September 8th, 2012 at 02:46 AM
Nice list. Appreciate the Hot Boyz additions! Missing Grown Man, Receipt, This Is What I Call Her, Need Some Quiet Time, Mario's Crying Out For Me feature (better than the Lloyd ft. to me), Wayne on Me, Tie My Hands, Shoot Me Down, Where The Cash At, Beat Build, So Special and the 'Stilettos' one is a Knuck if You Buck freestyle

If you think right above it should be on this list you started listing to wayne WAY too late. Listen to the real wayne, dedications, droughts, and squad up era. Bandwagon riders.

Actually it is Lil Waynes song, dumbass. He has the hook plus 2 verses while Drake has 1 verse and nothing else. The song was on Waynes album, not Drakes. Dumbass

My thoughts exactly.
Jayson November 3rd, 2010 at 11:40 AM
Not a bad list, entertaining read.....but where is Tie My Hands?!! It's the most inspirational and one of the most beautiful songs Wayne's ever done! A top 15 in my mind, but an absolute must for any top 100 list.
jhuntdaprodigy November 3rd, 2010 at 12:24 PM

Great read. You should write another article about the Lights Out and Sqad Up time period. The material he put out during that time is underrated.
