Eamon essentially came out of nowhere in late 2003, when the Staten Island singer's "F*ck It (I Don't Want You Back)" caught fire at national radio. Initially, novelty figured into the song's success with its numerous expletives, listeners responded saying they appreciated Eamon singing the truth and saying what everyone else might be too scared to say.

With a surprisingly soulful vocal style that recalls early R&B crooners such as Frankie Lymon, Eamon details the myriad of ways in which he simultaneously enjoys and despises women, all over old-school minimalist beats and spare samples that give the lyrics added grit. Though his vitriol often makes Eminem's rants seem tame, Eamon's undeniably catchy combination of 1950s/'60s soul and gangsta rap places the artist among hip-hop's more intriguing modern acts. | Musical Guests |  | N.O.R.E. |  | Milk Dee |
