With that said, hit the jump to check out my Top 15 Songs of November '11. There are individual download links for each song and a .zip file at the bottom of the post with all 15 songs.
15. Drake - The Real Her (feat. Lil' Wayne & Andre 3000) [prod. 40]
It was pretty hard to narrow down my favorite joints from Drake's sophomore offering. If you haven't listened to it by now, go to iTunes and get it. In the case of this track, and in most of the Wayne featured songs on this list, if he was omitted, the song would be the same, if not better. 3K keeps things interesting tho.

14. DJ Drama - Ain't No Way Around It (Remix) (feat. Future, Big Boi & Young Jeezy) [prod. Mike Will]
A remix to a track on Dram's Third Power album, which happened to have hot ass verses from Big Boi and Jeezy. Future can kick 89% of a rock.

13. Birdman & Mack Maine - B Boyz (feat. Kendrick Lamar & Ace Hood)
K-Dot was on his "Stay Wide Awake" Eminem flow on this shit smfh. Killed it. Everybody else was average but the production was great.
Birdman & Mack Maine - B Boyz (feat. Kendrick Lamar & Ace Hood)
12. T-Pain - Bang Bang Pow Pow (feat. Lil' Wayne) [prod. T-Minus]
I actually don't mind Wayne in this song...but he dropped the line "I go so hard, they call me go-so-hard" and decided we had to get him the fuck outta here. Another dope ass beat from T-Minus, he's killing it lately.
T-Pain - Bang Bang Pow Pow (feat. Lil' Wayne) [prod. T-Minus]
11. Childish Gambino - Heartbeat
Donald's harmonizing compliments the bars he drops on this stand out track from Camp. The whole album was really good, definitely top 3 projects released this month.
Childish Gambino - Heartbeat
10. PUSH! Montana - Last of the Mohicans! (feat. Maino)
A lot of people talked about this release on Twitter, but PUSH! sent me an email and I thought I should just d-load it and give it a listen. Really dope tape. Maino kills his verse. I'll be looking forward to the next installment in the series.
PUSH! Montana - Last of the Mohicans! (feat. Maino)
09. Mary J. Blige - Feel Inside (feat. Nas) [prod. Jerry Wonda]
The "Triumph" sample on the beat is insane, plus Nasir sounds hungry as hell. MJB had a bunch of hip hop features on her album, but this is the only joint that caught my attention.
Mary J. Blige - Feel Inside (feat. Nas) [prod. Jerry Wonda]
08. Rihanna - Talk That Talk (feat. Jay-Z) [prod. StarGate]
These two tried to recreate the magic of "Umbrella" but actually came up with something better. Should make a good 3rd single off the album, considering "We Found Love" and "You Da One" are both fire.
Rihanna - Talk That Talk (feat. Jay-Z) [prod. StarGate]
07. Drake - Take Care (feat. Rihanna) [prod. Jamie xx & 40]
Ri-Ri and Drake really do make a dope duo smh. One of my favorite songs off his album.
Drake - Take Care (feat. Rihanna) [prod. Jamie xx & 40]
06. Jet Life - Money Piles (feat. Trademark Da Skydiver, Young Roddy & Street Wiz)
Curren$y put a little compilation together with all his Jet Life buddies, and the result is a bunch of chill ass songs. The production on this is insane, Spitta really knows how to pick beats that conform to his style.
Jet Life - Money Piles (feat. Trademark Da Skydiver, Young Roddy & Street Wiz)
05. Drake - Lord Knows (feat. Rick Ross) [prod. Just Blaze]
Shit this beat is heeeeavy. Sounds like something that belongs on Watch The Throne. Big ups to Just Blaze on this, perfect addition to Take Care.
Drake - Lord Knows (feat. Rick Ross) [prod. Just Blaze]
04. Yelawolf - Animal (feat. Fefe Dobson)
I'm sorry to say it, but Fefe Dobson really does make this song. The hook & female vocals are >>>>>>. If you're wondering where the Eminem song is, Gangsta Boo and her ghetto ass aura made that song go from sick to average at best. However, Yelawolf's album as a whole is really good.
Yelawolf - Animal (feat. Fefe Dobson)
03. Ludacris - Intro [prod. Tone Mason]
Damn Luda, why waste a fuckin FIRE beat like this on a mixtape. But not even a mixtape, but an "Intro" track. This is like some Jay-Z "Dynasty Intro" shit smfh. And Luda drops like a quick verse on it and lets it ride out like it's not the hottest beat on his tape....
Ludacris - Intro [prod. Tone Mason]
02. Meek Mill - Ima Boss (Remix) (feat. Rick Ross, Lil' Wayne, Birdman, Fabolous, Swizz Beatz & T.I.)
If you took off Swizz & Wayne, this might be the remix of the year. And it should have been for the amount of time we had to wait for it. Rick Ross & T.I. have the stand out verses to me....#KingBack.
Meek Mill - Ima Boss (Remix) (feat. Rick Ross, Lil' Wayne, Birdman, Fabolous, Swizz Beatz & T.I.)
01. Yelawolf - Hard White (Remix) (feat. T.I. & Slaughterhouse)
I feel bad for all the hip hop artists out there that had to hear this and realize nothing they do will measure up smh. T.I. starts of the joint slow, but once Yelawolf's dark, violent verse finished and Crook came in with the double time bars, I realized shit just got real non-fiction. Shady 2.0 is nothing to be fucked with.
Yelawolf - Hard White (Remix) (feat. T.I. & Slaughterhouse)
That's all for this month. Check back with us at the end of December. We'll be having the Top 100 songs of the year, in addition to the best albums and mixtapes. Shit's gonna be ill. Hit the download link below for all of the Top 15 songs of November.
