#10 is the 9th highest SD. You can tell because it has 5 bottom 20s and it's still somehow here. started in the top 20, got to the top 10 three lists later, shot up into the top 5, then hit a snag late. Almost all of its 6 top 10s are top 5s, and all of its 9 top half ranks are top 20.

Take me away from all the pressure and all the pain Show me some happiness again I'm goin' blind, I spend my time in this cell, ain't livin' well I know my destiny is Hell, where did I fail?10

Fine with this song being the first out of the top ten. I like 2Pac, but I would have ranked a dozen+ songs of his higher than this.

#9 was also never not in the top 20, and it also got some top 5 shine at points, but it only firmly lodged itself in the top 10 in the second half of the game. Another #1 leaves, as well as 3 more top 10s, 3 top 15s, and 3 remaining top 25s. There are only two bottom 15s.

hate to tank 2Pac like that, but it's not one of my favourite from him and lyrically he doesn't really compare to most of these artists

#8 is one of just two songs to have multiple #1s. How many exactly? You'll just have to wait and see. Including the #1s, there are 5 top 10s. Only 1 more top 20, but this song was greatly helped by the fact that there are 10 top half rankings in total, and of the rest, bottom 20s are scare (2). This song vacillated between the high 20s and low 10s for the vast majority of the game. It was only barely top 20 not far from the finish line before storming into the top 10 like a Meatloaf song.

#7 doesn't have one of the top 10 highest SDs, but its SD is still pretty high because it has 4 of the 10 remaining bottom 20s. But that's no problem, because it also has 4 top 5s, two more top 10s, and 3 top 20s. After struggling in the inital segment, there was no denying this song's place in the top 10 once it got going; it was an inevitability.

This song has only grown on me with time. I thought it was a sure thing for my top two, and then I saw my eventual top two in the ranking.
Also important: One of the best uses of finger snaps in a song ever.

#6 is another song with a 10:4 top:bottom half ratio. After the first two lists it was bottom 20, amazingly, but it got moving to its destination quickly after that, never leaving the top 10 after the seventh ballot. 8 ranks overall are in the top 20. Two are top 15s, two are top 10, and two are top 5. This is the first song with no bottom 20s, so it being the 4th lowest SD makes sense.

It was right around here where this ranking became insufferably tough. There were 20+ songs that I wanted to rank top ten, but 11-15, in particular, were painful omissions, and it hurt to leave ATCQ out of my top ten. ..especially a song as strong as "Award Tour".

I was surprised by how #5 asserted itself as a force to be reckoned with in this rankdown right away. Before we get into everything else, this song has the 6th lowest SD. Never left the top 20, and was only outside the top 10 three times, all early. It would take up permanent residence in the top 5 starting basically right at the second half of submissions. It was helped greatly by a lack of bottom half rankings: only 2 people went for that area, and one of them almost doesn't really count (though the other is bottom 20). Just like "Award Tour", it has 2 top 20s, 2 top 15s, 2 top 10s, and 2 top 5s.

When you started working on this RD and said your #1 was locked in because it's one of your favorite rap songs period, Red , I had no clue this would be the song I'm about ready for a classic massacre I'll make it hotter than when Shaft in Africa Jump outta a black Porshe huffin a fat cigar Night ridin on 'em like my last name Hasselhoff Voted unlikely to succeed cause my class was full Of naysayers, cheaters and thieves All it gave me was a good enough reason to leave And put the writing on the wall for y'all to read it and weep5

The funny thing is that I kind of expected another song to be my #1 pick pretty easily (spoiler: That song is my #2). Then I saw that this song was here, and it was a wrap. This song is straight fire. The first Black Thought verse is one of my favorite verses in all of rap, and the second verse isn't far off. This song is a rap masterclass.
I don't really care what wins now, to be honest. The other four songs are great and are worthy winners...but this was the only song I was actively rooting for.

#4 has 3 whole bottom 20s! But that's easily offset by its 3 top 5s, 3 top 10s, 2 top 15s, and 3 top 20s. It would've spent every list in the top 10 were it not for a scoop down to #11 around the middle. Though it started out there, it had trouble sustaining a top 5 life until the last day.

I still have Outkast or Wu winning this Well, it's not going to be Wu. I think that either this or "Bring Da Ruckus" would have been my highest Wu songs, and I probably would have ranked "Ruckus" around this point. Both are great.
