take out

don't feel right (average song)
i can't help it (nice, but not important)
75 bars (again, nice, but not better than web)
sacrifice
here i come (unless your friend is a wnba fan)

add in

what they do (great song, easily accessible)
web (thought's best "straight spitting" song)
do you want more?!?!? (shows off their range)
"the hypnotic" or "the 'notic" (both are better "thought spitting
about women" songs)
what you want
