50 Cent's Verse on Hate It or Love It by The Game (2005)

Without a doubt the greatest song The Game ever touched. I adored this song from the first second I heard it and largely feel the same way. Three extremely economical verses and an all time classic flipped beat.

The track features some of The Game's best rapping, and certainly his deepest introspection, but 50's intro and ESPECIALLY that first line (I cannot understate the importance this had to me as a child of lesbians) — even if it is only 6 bars, it is just locked in my brain forever and ever.
