In case you missed it on the radio, on MTV and on the rap blogs last summer, Eminem's "Love The Way You Lie," featuring Rihanna—the second single from Em's chart-topping album, Recovery—was the truth. While the track reached the top of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and landed on the charts in the United Kingdom, Germany and even Russia, the controversial music video for the song broke a YouTube record for most views in 24 hours by generating more than 6 million hits in a day.

So it really shouldn't be surprising to hear that Em and Rihanna reunited for "Love The Way You Lie (Part II)." Though the Barbadian singer recently told MTV that she initially balked at the idea of creating a sequel to the song, she eventually gave in and the pair recorded the song for her forthcoming album, Loud.

Here at RapFix, we're all for capitalizing on the success of a powerful single by creating a seque—provided, of course, it's done in good taste. In fact, some of hip-hop's best songs, including tracks like Mobb Deep's "Shook Ones (Part II)" and Rick Ross's "Maybach Music Pt. 2," have been sequels. So with that in mind, we hatched a list of 10 more memorable rap songs that deserve a sequel.

The Result: Hov told folks they couldn't knock his hustle all the way back in 1996. Fast forward almost 15 years and every rapper under the sun (what up, MC Hammer?) is still trying to do it. Let this sequel serve as a reminder to people: Jay-Z is still not to be messed with. Read More...
