11. "Temperature" - Sean Paul

In a year full of forgotten and overshadowed near-classics, it was tough to pick which one to highlight in memoriam - an amazing slice of jailbait electro-pop marred only by a lack of real Aaliyah-style sass from said jailbait, another faux-80's dance anthem (complete with dumb car metaphors) from a woman who pretty much exists to write dumb lyrics, an uber-catchy collaboration by two legends who've seen better days and basically sleepwalk through the track, a reworked posse track where Twista gets another chance to go apeshit, a dated-sounding though undeniably catchy Destiny's Child leftover from a superstar about to move on to even bigger and better things, or a laid-back old school throwback that was many people's first introduction to a future rap icon - so we wrote about them all.
