The Best Singles of 2013

10) Childish Gambino "3005"

I don't know why Childish Gambino (aka Donald Glover aka Troy from Community) has to produce some of the most boring music videos (see: this, Heartbeat) but nevertheless, his songs are incredible. Gambino has great flow, catchy hooks, and probably the best rhymes and lyrics out of anyone currently in the rap game (sans Kanye). "3005" is quintessential Childish Gambino, and I wish his songs got more radio airplay, because they're so good.

Recently, Vh1 did a special on the 100 Greatest Songs of the 2000. And it was god awful. Not only was the host- Fall Out Boy's Pete Wendt- so boring, and dull, and lifeless, and Al Gore-esque but holy crap did Vh1 really miss the mark. I'm not going to rank 100 songs but I will correct the top 20.
