50. David Guetta Feat Taio Cruz & Ludacris - Little bad girl
Well this song goes HAM in the club, since most of David Guetta songs are pretty good but they almost sound the same, I decided to pick this one out of the bunch. Listen to it below:
49. Mishal Moore - Ain't over (Document one remix)
I remember listening to this track in a rave (Party) last year and it was insane and since that night I was hooked to this tune, and whenever this song comes up on my ipod i was always shake leg.
48. LLoyd Feat K'Naan, R.Kelly & Kerri Hilson - World Cry
This song was featured in LLoyd's Kings of Heart album, the album was really average to be honest but its quite ironic that people praises songs that features lyrics of sex, drugs, money and girls but meaningful songs such as this one gets no attention, but here in Babytop we give it the nod on to number 48.
47. Lanbrinth feat Tinie Tempah - Earthquake
"Labrinth come in!" ...the UK based artist Labrinth who was introduced to us by Tnie tempah on his smashing hit Pass Out. This year he decided to stand on his own two feet during an earquake in his number 1 hit Earquake. With his influence from the Dubstep genre this song got a heavy bass and whoosing sound which is quarateen to get you on your two feet.
47. Bon Iver - Holocene
"Justin Vernon's (Bon Iver) music is such an amazing work of art, every note is sung and played to perfection, as a individual his music has had a massive impact on my life throughout the past years, and I believe that I will be listening to his songs for many years to come! and Holocene is just a really great song.
45. Pusha T - My God
An excellent song i gotta say, Pusha T is very underrated.
44. Wiz Khalifa - I Roll up
43. Skrillex - Father Said
As the dubstep genre has blown up in the state, one obvious artist everyone wants to work with is the wierd looking Skrillex and this tune just proves how f**** he is on mixing. This tune here is guarantee to get the whole crowd in the a damped warehouse jumped.

39. Meek Mill feat Rick Ross - Imma Boss
Ok, the image is not the official single of Meek Mill's Imma Boss,..but the song was somehow was worshipped by the hood N**** and I can see why.

37. Arcade Fire - Suburbs (Mr. Little Jeans Remix)
Apparently the call this genre a pre-dustep/ mellow-dubstep what it is, this song is the pure fine example of the genre.

9. Tyler the Creator - Yonkers
The video of Yonkers was peeped to be as the Music Video of 2010, by Kanye West...and the song itself contains soo much contreversials some people somehow thinks that the song was influence by the "illumunati" and some people said that the "illuminati" doesn't exist...but one thing for sure that we know existed in this song is the diss targeting Bruno Mars and B.O.B. , with soo much contraversial in one song, this song had to be in my top 10. So peeps enjoy it or not, whatever!

A young Comptoner named Kendrick Lamar, you better remember this name because i predict this year to be his best year ever...he showed the critics and hip hop what he's capable of in 2011, in this album Section 80, which I'll definitely put as one of my top 5 albums of 2011...ADHD his just one of those drug related, trippy song but at its very best.

3. Drake - Marvin's Room
Drizzy Drake went cold and heartbroken in TakeCare and this song is the fine example of that...this song was remixed by every RnB artist you can think of, but Drizzy Drake's original still remained the best. Enjoy it below and Takecare.
