Always felt like "Why You Do That" would be the perfect album splitter track that is dead center of the most climactic and vividly-depicted concept album about two inextricably-bound helpless romantics who also have a depraved affinity to nefariously incorrigible shenanigans. Would segue from "I Gotta Have It' perfectly on a cohesively-arranged contemporary composition of bafflingly-phenomenal proportions. Behold The Wave Virtuoso, bro-bros. The Black Pesci slidin' like Jet-Skis.

So, we're just going to ignore all the G-Unit Renegading Covers this man has in his catalog as well? Part Time Lover? s--- This Pistol Freestyle (His Version of "Work Magic") There are probably a few others I'm forgetting to list, but those exist.

The Max & French vs Jim Jones feud was at fever pitch and Max was months away from his 75 year sentencing. Coke Wave came out somewhere in the beginning of 09 and I remember bumping the h--- out of it, from rapping over Pink Floyd, a Marvin Gaye sample and M.I.A's Paper Planes this tape practically was the height of the Wave. This song best captures both Max & French at their very best, the chemistry is great and French had the best mentor you can possibly ask for, he's come a long way since these tapes.

During his last few days as a free man, he unleashed this to the fans. Biggavel lays down everything on this emotionally charged track, little did we know he'd get hit with a long sentencing and this was basically his goodbye to us. Shoutout to Young Los behind the boards for always crafting the classic sparse wavy soundbed for Max to float over.

This song is exactly what the title suggests; salacious, sleazy and exorbitant. But beneath the surface lies an awareness story Max is trying to tell about this girl, its vivid and probably applicable to our own experiences. All this while doing these absurd transitions from fast flows to brief singing and back on those two verses, he makes the task seem so effortless.

Perhaps the most depressing thing looking back at this thread was the very thought that we have been denied years of potentially incredible music and just when his hype was getting bigger. Max was destined to be a superstar and this song is my biggest exhibit towards that claim; it's a bonafide tune, perfect for any environment and best listened to when you're driving a kinky Expedition through Harlem. The hook will stay in your conscience, the quasi hook after that is infectious and his effervescent flow is masterfully effective. Can't wait for his release man...

For future reference I have the objectively factual list from the countdown in the op if anyone ever stumbles upon this thread. I guess here were some notable omissions that were contenders for this list
