Moving right along, Kimberly's debut set takes another hit with "Damn" falling out. This one started out a bit weak in the submission process, but it wound up eventually scoring four Top 10 placements from the last four posters to submit, which boosted this one to a comfortable Top 20 finish. It does free up a lone bottom 5 for @antigonerising who placed this one in the penultimate slot on her list. It's a smooth, inoffensive mid-tempo about Kimberly getting in her feels and wailing her frustrations out on the chorus. "It would be nice to love you But I got too much to do Everyday I'm thinking of you I'm suppose to be bulletproof"

"Mindful," the colorful (visually and lyrically) and short album opener to More Issues Than Vogue, slid ahead of "Damn" by another 1-point margin (which proved to be a popular deficit in this rankdown), but the fiery uptempo in which Kimberly addresses her critics ultimately loses its head here. It proved to be another divisive track in the submission process, with four Top 10 ranks, but also three bottom 5 placements that include a #32 loss courtesy of castleoblivion26. There are now only two posters who still have their last place ranking remaining. "You keep sayin' you the illest bitch But I still feel like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill If you was determined to still feel like you was deservin' to be real Then you would've learned it a long time ago!

In the wake of the loss of "Mindful," I figure it would be a good time to showcase the album opener from her latest LP, which is a similar vibe musically and also clocks in as one of her shorter tracks at just over two minutes: EXTRA: "Alert" - K. Michelle
There's so many great quotable lyrics in this one. I especially love both of these sets: I'm 'bout a dollar, little mama, I don't like dimes! Listen, Jose, stay off my timeline Matter of fact, stay off them white lines It takes ten of you, now that's a lifetime I'm 'bout to kill these hoes, but there's no lifeline!Your man's a scrub, he fumble Fuck them rappers who mumble I make them rap-thinkin' bitches tumble! I am K-Dot, last name not Lamar You on TV, bitch, but you're not a star That's a C-Class Benz, that is not a car!

"Mindful" was incredible!
I just have to say that her writing has improved a lot from the first album.

I have to say it’s been fun revisiting her catalog. She has a lot of bops.

Up next, we take out one of Kimberly's most pop-leaning efforts to date, an uptempo sexual duet with Jason Derulo. It's a lively, catchy number and both parties sound good together, but reception was mixed as four posters lose a Top 10 here, while another four lose a bottom 5 instead. With this loss, More Issues Than Vogue only has two songs remaining, making it the weakest performing record so far ( Rebellious Soul is just behind with 3 songs left). "Bodies both connected We'll be still pretending Like we haven't crossed the line"

"Make the Bed" isn't the only time Kimberly teamed up with Jason Derulo. About a year prior to this song's release, the two of them worked together on a song for Derulo's Everything Is 4, which EXTRA: "Love Like That" - Jason Derulo (feat. K. Michelle)
"Make the Bed" is a more enjoyable listen than this one imo, but Kimberly delivered some really nice vocal moments here.

None of her country-esque songs are in this tho?! Time?! Something About the Night (as in the night she met her favorite country artist)?! Idk! Our last remaining track with a feature falls just outside the Top 15, coincidentally back-to-back with the elimination of the Jason Derulo-aided track, and finishing only one point ahead of it, no less. "Either Way," a fun uptempo urban bop addressing 'the haters' that acts as a duet with Chris Brown, performed well enough in the rankdown that only one poster had it in their bottom 5, though that one list happened to be a last place ranking courtesy of Leo ✔, which also means only one #32 rank still remains in play. Despite this, four people did have this one in their Top 10, while the rest generally had it in their mid teens or mid 20s. "Ass shots, real or fake That ass gon' jiggle, for 'em anyway Ain't fuckin' with me on your best day I don't like you, but I love how your man lick the plate"

I've been meaning to come back around to some of the songs and post a few comments. All these songs were first time listens for me so remember that when you see my ranking lol.
“Kiss My Ass” (#13) - I was surprised I liked this one as much as I did and just as surprised to be the second highest ranker lol. I thought the song had a great beat and I enjoyed her sassiness.
“I Don’t Like Me” (#4) - I overranked this one but what I liked most about it was the raw emotion I felt from K. Michelle’s voice; I listened to it quite a few times and kept moving it up on my list before finally putting it inside my top 5.
“Fakin’ It” (#31) - Put this second to last and I’d probably keep it there…I just didn’t like the lyrics and idea of the subject matter.
“I Just Wanna” (#32) - Hey we’ve all been there…but lyrically I just can’t get into songs like this. There’s other ways I go about communicating these kind of feelings/thoughts lol. This was easily my least favorite song of the rankdown.
“Got Em Like” (#28) - I found this one to be forgettable I guess…it just wasn’t memorable so ended up placing it in my bottom 5.
“A Mother’s Prayer” (#1) - I really, really liked this song and thought it was great. I don’t know enough about K. Michelle to know if a song like this is autobiographical but loved the message being sent to her son. This song also made me think of my late mother and felt like this would be something any mom would want to say to their children. I was actually surprised to see all the low rankings for it. I’d still put this as my #1.
“F**k Your Man Interlude” (#29) - I love slow jazz/blues so thought I was going to like this…but again lyrically I don’t like these kind of songs.
“I Just Can’t Do This” (#9) - A song with a slow beat that I can get into! Not to mention K. Michelle sounded great on this.
“Make the Bed” (#5) - Surprised to see this one out so soon…its one song I kept coming back around to and this was another one I kept moving up on my list.

After back-to-back duet losses, enjoy this additional duet that is pulled from Kimberly's most recent effort that also included the Chris Brown collaboration: EXTRA: "Takes Two" - K. Michelle (feat. Jeremih)
The lyrics to this one are so enjoyable. Married to the game, for you I'll catch your bouquet Only use a Maybach for the foreplay This another 12 Play, baby this a heavy plate You an angel, have to fly you out to LA

Going pretty well for me, I was expecting to lose a bunch of higher ranked songs. I'm a little surprised "Either Way" didn't do better though.

...because AWBAH is her classic (thus far)! Nicki still a whole bitch for stealing her title track, too! Except that I can totally see the remaining three Rebellious Soul tracks sneaking into the Top 10 if not Top 5... Our first casualty in the Top 15 comes at the expense of the final non-single remaining from Kimberly's debut, Rebellious Soul. A raunchy bop about a woman comparing her sexual drive to prostitution was met with enough fanfare to acquire five Top 10 ranks, but it also wipes out our final second-to-last #32 rank in the game, courtesy of Troublemaker (who was also the first to lose his #1, ironically). I love this one and think it's one of her best album cuts ever, so I'm a little bummed it didn't make it further than this. "Imma put these legs behind my head Throw these panties behind the bed Remember all that s**t you said No foreplay I'm already wet"
