96. Montell Jordan - This Is How We Do It

Found On: This Is How We Do It (1995)

To my ear, this song is unique because it blurs the line between rap and R & B. The musical backing is pure rap; you could easily hear 2Pac or Naughty By Nature rapping along. But Montell sings over it instead, only throwing in a tiny bit of sing-song rap on the self-congratulatory bridge.
