Bubba Sparxxx Picks 'Em

1. Da Backwudz
"I Don't Like the Look of It"
"The song samples that Oompa Loompa song, and I'm obsessed with Willy Wonka," says Sparxxx of this goofed-out track from the Atlanta duo. "It's creative."

2. Youngbloodz
"Chop Chop"
Dirty South party rappers team up with Scott Storch for a head-nodding crunk tune about jacking cars. "I love pretty much everything Youngbloodz do, but this one definitely ruffles my feathers, gets me going in the morning."

3. Transplants
"Gangsters and Thugs"
"That song is just hilarious!" Sparxxx says of last year's whiplash-inducing single from Tim Armstrong and Travis Barker's punk-rap supergroup. " 'Some of my friends sell records/Some of my friends sell drugs.' I can relate."

4. Mary J. Blige
"Be Without You"
A soul-crushing R&B track from the queen of love-gone-wrong. "I don't want to say it! OK, it's kind of a guilty pleasure, but I love it. It reminds me of me and my girl. It could make me cry."

5. T.I.
"Top Back"
Atlanta's reigning rap king brings the grime and gives old-schoolers Goodie Mob a shout-out with the line "On a pill and a half with my partner Young Dro/Bumpin' Goodie Mob Soul Food number fo'." Says Sparxxx, "I like the reference -- Goodie Mob's one of my favorite groups of all time."
