Skillz

Year-end lists are always useful in reflecting the year in music, but MC Skillz has everyone beat with his own look back on 2005. The lax classic soul track backs some sharp rhymes that find him tearing a brand new asshole for all of his targets with astute commentary. He picks on the Game’s "crap” album and his "dissing and kissing” relationship with 50 Cent, but best of all is his shout out to Houston where he cheekily states, "I bought your album, dog, you didn’t have to gouge your eye out.” (www.okay-player.com/ real/skillz/2005rapup.ram)
