Lyrical sample: “It’s like Osama met Barack Obama and he sold out his honor/For a rocket launcher, I’m like the Loch Ness monster.”

46. Pitbull ft. Lil Jon: “Krazy”

One of my favorite beats of the fall. Pitbull rarely disappoints.

Lyrical sample: “Britney with no drama, Alicia with no karma/New York with no flava, the world with no haters/Obama with no color, Hillary with no Bill.”

45. 4Dbling ft. Progress Running: “Bad Dreams”

I can’t believe I’ve never heard of 4Dbling before, but this kid is adorable. He’s a perfect mix of my favorite – but greatly conflicting – genres of hip-hop and emo scene. “Bad Dreams” is a fantastically smooth and skillfully mixed track, with a catchy hook you won’t forget.

Lyrical sample: “I take my bitch on a shopping spree everday of the week/Like oh my god – is that Prada?/Why yes, of course – stayin’ fresh like Obama.”

43. Karina Pasian ft. Lil Mama: “Baby Baby”
