Breakadawn by Rhymefest
Ugh. I sort of hate having any of Rhymefest's album/free download of Michael Jackson remixes on this list. It's a solid effort and the album is interesting at times. But upon listening it to again over the last few weeks nothing jumps out and moves me.
The idea behind the album/mix tape is pretty good: take Michael Jackson, a great song writer/performer in his own right, and give him a 21st century twist. But it's a better idea than it is actual music, most of the songs leave you wanting to hear Michael himself and few give the songs a new identity or complexity—like what Danger Mouse pulled off with Jay-Z and the Beatles.
For what it's worth, this might be the most interesting and unique song on the mix tape. And thus, it clocks in at #24.
