The last six songs are all classics. "Got Your Money" and "What's So Different" bump so hard. I love the vocal arrangement in "So Anxious".

Oooh yess, Lauryn Hill absolutely ruled 1999!  I love both "Ex-Factor" and "Everything is Everything," especially the former! It's a shame neither went to #1 as I would have ranked them both highly. I also loved the "Ex-Factor" sample used in Drake's "Nice for What." |

Oooh I love "Hot Spot" by Foxxy Brown. That's such a jam!
Wow I completely forgot about Coko's "Sunshine" so had to relisten to it. It's a really fun and cute song. I remember liking it when it was out but I never seeked out for it after its chart run.
