• We don’t hear from this guy as often anymore, but it’s cool when we do. Which pretty much sums up the song. Sampling Jay-Z on the hook sounds dated but Free has a little spit so it works.

SONG: “Wanna Ride”
ARTIST: Bone Thugs-N-Harmony

• Exactly what you’d expect from a BTHN song in 2009. Fans will be satisfied but these guys need to show some progress for us to stay interested.

SONG: “Mode”
ARTIST: Curt@!n$

• The GFCNY representative just dropped some new heat. Yes, he talks about clothes a lot, but we’re cool with it.

SONG: “Sunday Matinee”
ARTIST: Beat Radio

• Figured we throw something soft in between all these rap tracks. This is a good song but not one to listen to if you’re still not over your ex-girlfriend.

SONG: “Taxi Driver”
ARTIST: Royce Da 5′9″

• Royce channels De Niro’s classic character on this storytelling track. Worth a listen.
