#2 Madonna - Beat Goes On
No amount of fake scandal and misbehavior (A-Rod! McCain=Hitler!) can make up for the fact that Madonna’s bid for hip-hop relevance flopped. So it’s fitting that Hard Candy’s best song, “Beat Goes On” (a Pharrell-derived, note-perfect hybrid of “Ring My Bell” disco and darkwave tech-hop that also features Kanye West’s best rap of the year), hasn’t even been officially released as a single yet despite garnering substantial airplay on the nation’s biggest dance station. Three cheers for the counterintuitive!
How can HC be a flop when it's the 3rd best selling album of 2008? plus, I doubt Madonna was bidding on "hip hop relevance"... stupid article!
