Song of the Summer


I know I might be getting a little ahead of myself here, but with this ball-drippingly hot weather lately, I can't help it.

I think it's safe to say that Chamillionaire's "Ridin' Dirty" (or was it just Ridin'? can I get a ruling? you know I couldn't care less when I can't be bothered to Google something) won last summer, with Paris Hilton's "The Stars Are Blind" coming in as a close second.

This year, we have some good tracks out so far... but still being the end of May, a lot could still change.

I had thought Timbaland blew it by releasing "Give It To Me" so damned early in the spring, but then I found out that he was just whetting our appetite. "The Way I Are" could be offending English teachers and grammar lovers all summer, but he could still out do himself by tossing out "Scream" (feat. Keri Hilson and Nicole Scherzinger of Pussycat Dolls fame) or one of many other hot tracks... safe to say, Timbo will have something to say about this race.

And if not directly, then through JT (who I also thought had made the mistake of dropping his tracks too early), as Justin's "Summer Love" is doing pretty well right now.

Some other tracks deserving serious consideration are Belly's new joint (play along...) featuring those hottie twins Nina Sky called "Don't Be Shy" (a personal fave of mine), T-Pain and Yung Juc's "Buy U A Drank", which aside from stealing the horrific grammar in a song title award from Timbaland, it a shitty song getting massive airplay for reasons I can't understand, and R.Kelly, T-Pain and T.I.'s "I'm A Flirt" (not awful, and somewhat growing on me... also having the adulterous undertones everyone likes to hear in a summer hit - reference: Rihanna, Unfaithful).




All that said, my money's back on the hot Baysian Rihanna, who along with Jay-Z, dropped "Umbrella" recently (a contender in its own right). Aside from the almost painfully catchy hook, you know that she's also got something up her sleeve that we'll likely hear in June or July.
