Honestly Beez In The Trap was one of the best songs I've heard in years. It was well produced, meaning it had a hot beat but also the way she (and 2 Chainz) said her verse. Not just the lyrics but the way she said it.

You need to be banned.

Kendrick Lamar- Swimming Pools

Swimming Pools, and not just of 2012. Let me explain to you ? why.

Kendrick managed to push a single, admissible in the club AND radio, with conscious double meaning content / lyrics, AND a catchy hook. The ? covered all his bases with this cut, and debuted mainstream without selling out. It was literally the most perfectly executed debut / single in the past 5-10 years of Hip-Hop history. That is my honest opinion.

? are constantly acting like I'm hard on these artists for expecting bars and content in my club bangers. Like it's to much to ask for a complete package with little to no gimmicks in these singles.

Kendrick set the bar with this ? .

Mercy was cool, but it didn't have the same social commentary as Swimming Pools.
Daughters was conscious as hell, but had no place in the club.
New ? Flow was great, but it also lacked the serious social commentary, and was not as club worth. It was definitely a spitter's track though (more so then Swimming Pools)

BobOblah

Swimming Pools or New ? Flow, the version with ghostface though

It's a combination of both. You can pick the most popular song or the song you liked the most.
