If you're looking for a hit, there aren't many people more qualified to consult than Jeremih. While Nick Cannon has continued to find success in the entertainment world, it's been a while since he had a big single, so he went to best for his latest record, "If I Was Your Man." Compared to Mih's more recent dalliance with clubby RnBass sounds, this one is a throwback to the early aughts rap ballad, keeping things slow and simple with the production, and sticking to the rapped-verse, sung-chorus formula that was the standard for crossover singles before rappers started singing themselves. Could Cannon score a hit with this one?

Quotable Lyrics:
Nah, momma, I ain't shit
Nah, momma, I ain't shit
I know I'm looking fly in my whip
But I ain't shit
