Reviewing My 2021 Apple Music Replay; 30-21
Almost at the end.
As the number gets smaller, the hits get bigger.
30. Life Goes On by Oliver Tree
I started very lightly listening to Oliver Tree in 2020, but in 2021 found Life Goes On and I was just hooked. It’s such a simple song with not much to it, but it’s an easy listen when you’re in the car or hanging with friends.
The place I played this song the most had to have been in the locker room when I grabbed aux. It’s a crowd pleaser.
29. Still Into You by Paramore
Another song like Life Goes On that is simple, but it’s a fun listen. The song comes in hot with drums and Haley Williams singing and stays extremely fast paced for the entirety of the song which is awesome. A true scream, singing song.
28. Jumper by Shane Reis, George Foisy, Spose, and Cam Groves
I originally listened to Jumper because I saw that Spose was a feature and he actually kicks the song off. I listened to Jumper so much because of how great Groves, Shane Reis, and Foisy are on it.
27. Parasite by Spose and Bensbeendead.
The feature by Bensbeendead. on Parasite is phenomenal and pulls the entire song together. Parasite just hits the ear the right way and the groovy beat accompanied by the lyrics of hating a person make for one of my new favorite Spose songs.
26. Devils Game by Spose
This is a song that I never thought I would like, but it just keeps me coming back. Spose raps about and experience in a Pennsylvania casino playing the Devils Game. His intense description of the casino, smoke in his face, and the old Asian lady with too much makeup.
25. Here We Go Again by Spose and Matt Giard
Arguably my favorite song off the Get Rich or Die Ryan album. Here We Go Again has an awesome “thumping” beat to start and goes into the chorus, then sinks back to the “thumping” beat. It has a great feel and the build up of a great pump up song like Seven Nation Army.
24. Knock You Down by Keri Hilson, Kanye West, and Ne-Yo
BANGER. Keri Hilson is a rocket and the Kanye West and Ne-Yo features are immaculate to create one of the greatest 2000s hip hop hits. Knock You Down DOES NOT MISS WHATSOEVER.
23. BABY KNOCK ME DOWN by JR Specs and B.Aull
The song that made me a JR Specs fan is BABY KNOCK ME DOWN because I fell in love with the jazzy chorus that I hadn’t heard on any other hip hop song really ever. The duo of him and B.Aull always slaps and BABY KNOCK ME DOWN is still, I think the best Specs song ever.
22. Red Cup (I Fly Solo) by Cash Cash, Spose, and Lacey Schwimmer
Much like Jumper, I saw that Spose was a feature on this song and had to listen. And the reason I kept coming back wasn’t only Sposes fire verse, but it was because Cash Cash and Lacey Schwimmer were awesome on the song.
21. Self Help! by Spose
“Self-help, you better help yourself 'cause no one's going to, Self-help, no one gives a fuck what you've been going through”. Self Help! is a top three song that Spose performs live, and even listening in your car is a great experience.
I listened to this song mostly at the gym because you don’t want to feel sorry for yourself and it’s got unreal heavy guitar and drums. Makes the ultimate workout song.
