Song: "Blueprint (Momma Loves Me)"
Artist: Jay-Z
Year: 2001
Jay's aptly titled 2001 classic The Blueprint was a look at the rapper's roots, so it only made sense he closed it out with this song that shouts out all the family and friends who helped him survive and succeed. Top billing, of course, goes to his mother, who did the most important thing of all, as the title says, by simply loving him.
