This week Steve and Corey continue their discussion of the top five tracks from the year as they enter a Kanye space (don’t ask us what that is, we’re not entirely certain either) and discuss their Lil’ Wayne preferences and his recent resurgence.

The year 2005 was a lot of different things for different people. For hip-hop, it was an incredibly influential year as the southern trap sounds that are ubiquitous now first came to relevance. It’s also the year Kanye West, a Chicago native, cemented himself as an icon and force to be reckoned with, as he released “Gold Digger” Featuring Jaime Foxx.

Listen along as Steve and Corey finish out their lists, give out some honorable mentions, and discuss which artist won the year. Spoiler alert, this discussion doesn’t last long. We all know who won!
