Now don't get me wrong.. I'm not into hip-hop/rap/RnB. But everyonce in a while something amazing comes along, and whether it is techno/trance or hiphop, it deserves an acknowledgment. I nominate "Nelly - Just A Dream" to be among the best songs. It spoke for me, about me, to me, and soothed me.

Best old-fashioned geek song out there. From the days of punch-card programming.

Unfortunately culture often stops at the language borders.
