I’m honestly not familiar with Saturday, but Rollout and especially Move Bitch would do well for me, with Move Bitch possible to have been my 1 maybe.

"Saturday" is underrated and overshadowed by "Roll Out" and "Move Bitch". I like Luda's flow and delivery on that song.

So many classics here. It would hard to rank them. They take me back to summer when I was 14.

First extra for today was the lead single from his album The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse. Produced by Kanye West and featuring Beyoncé, it peaked at #2 on the rap chart, #5 on the R&B chart, and #4 on the Hot 100, and topped the charts in Switzerland. Samples "Me And My Girlfriend" by Tupac (under the alias Makaveli) and "If I Was Your Girlfriend" by Prince.
'03 Bonnie & Clyde - Jay-Z
The use of the Tupac sample led Toni Braxton to accuse Jay and Kanye of stealing the idea to sample the song; Toni had sampled it for her song "Me & My Boyfriend". Both men would deny that claim.
Next, the lead single from his album The Last Temptation. Featuring Bobby Brown, it peaked at #10 rap and #16 R&B. Contains an interpolation of "Knocks Me Off My Feet" by Stevie Wonder.
