#12: Aaliyah "Try Again"
Released: 2000
There's no doubt that if any human was born to ride Timbaland's beats, it was Aaliyah. Perhaps only she could truly tame a track like this, giving life to its sub-bass synths. Tim does his part on the ad-lib tip, turning wisdom-soaked Rakim boasts into goofy jewels.

Agree with just about the whole list except for Jeezy's 3am and Playa Cheers 2 U. I would replace them with Tim & Ginuwine's remake of When Doves Cry and Bubba's Ugly

These music posts Complex has been doing are legit. You guys really need to to a spinoff magazine. Resurrect Scratch or something. (Can't remember the name but) I love the posts of how the hip hop community feels about certain tracks. Like the "Not Afraid" and "Power" ones. Please don not get rid of these ever.
