20. Down Low - R. Kelly feat. The Isley Brothers: Not surprised seeing this come in last. I get and understand it though. But I do really like this enough to rank this at #14 and ooo I'm the highest ranker with aerodynamite. I would have preferred another R. Kelly song to come in last but also glad another song of his didn't.
19. I Can't Sleep Baby (If I) - R. Kelly: Okay now this was the R. Kelly song I was hoping would be last as I ranked this at #17. But I'm also fine with this ranking for it. I wasn't really familiar with this song but it's nice. It's interesting how this was intended for Toni Braxton but she decided against it. :o I wonder how she would have sounded on this.
18. Last Night - Az Yet: I ranked this at #15, so I'm okay with this ranking though I wouldn't have minded if this was just a little higher. This is one of those songs I didn't remember by its title but remembered it while listening to it. I do really like it but with such a stacked list, it was tough to rank it high.
17. I Believe I Can Fly - R. Kelly: I KNEW that this song was going to be the song with the highest SD. As I ranked this at #3, I am sad/disappointed to see this showing up already. But with it being R. Kelly, it's all tainted now sooo I get it. But regardless, I do really love this song and think it's an amazing/touching song... and it's certainly one of my favorite songs of his. I'm just glad this is his highest ranked song and also was able to avoid an all bottom 3 of R. Kelly songs. That's all I could ask for, lmao.
16. Hit Me Off - New Edition: Well, at least my #20 shows up on this set sooo I'm more than good with that, haha. This is another one of those songs that I didn't know before this but I liked it while listening to it. Sadly, it was my least favorite of all of these songs here in this stacked list.

I didn't know "I Can't Sleep Baby" was intended for Toni Braxton, but that makes sense; it actually sounds similar to "I Don't Want To" to me (I wonder if that was the disagreement over melody).
"Last Night" is a jam and I am sad it's out so quickly.
