Both tracks gave me the chills. IMo the only 2 candidates for song of the year when it comes to commercial rappers. You got a different subject matter than "Im a gangsta, Ill knock your teeth out", great production and great lyrics.
So is it:
TBCT:
Snoop Dogg feat Dr.Dre & D'Angelo - Imagine (produced by Dr. Dre)
Big Bang:
Busta Rhymes feat. Stevie Wonder - Been Through The Storm (produced by Sha Money XL & Dr.Dre)
I still cant pick one :-X
-
Imagine is way better
-
Imagine is way better
-
Imagine is way better
-
Musically speaking, the descending cello tune in Been Through The Storm makes me pick this one.
-
Been Through A Storm is 30 times better
-
been on through the storm is a better beat
-
Been Through The Storm
-
I voted Busta but changed my mind, where's the both option?
-
Now Imagine if Dre and Snoop did been through the storm instead of busta :o
-
Imagine is way better
-
I can't choose between the 2.... there are both GREAT... Stevie chorus is way better though
-
Now Imagine if Dre and Snoop did been through the storm instead of busta :o
ohh boy. i can't even imagine. (no pun intended) haha

Both are fantastic, voted Imagine though..Like the beat better, and no dis-respect to Stevie Wonder, but just something I LOVE about the hook provided by D'Angelo on Imagine 8)

yeah, that is the highlight of the song!

"Been Through The Storm" Stevie Wonder is ridiculously dope on that
-
Imagine is way better
-
I respect everybody's opinion but how can lots of people say Imagine is WAY better :-\... both artists need to be slapped for not doing a video anyway
-
Musically, "Been Through The Storm" shines over "Imagine". But lyrically, the nod goes to Dre & Snoop's collabo.
It's neck and neck, if you ask me.
-
Overrated songs imo but if I'd had to choose one it would be "Been Through The Storm".
-
both tracks are amazing stevies chorus is great and dangleo is great on imagine imo stevie and dangleo make the both tracks what they are
-
been through the storm has a more classic (musical) sound, but dre really killed it on imagine
-
Tough choice. Stevie is better on the hook but I like the music and clarity of Imagine :-\
-
I can't decide :-\
-
Nice thread bump lol.
After almost a year everytime I turn up Been Through The Storm, it still gives me chills and I cannot say the same for Imagine. So I pick Busta.
And damn, time goes fast these days. I remember Imagine leaking like it was yesterday.

Been Through The Storm

Been Through The Storm

but extremly dope. Been Through The Storm has the slighly better subjuect matter so ima vote for that
-
Been thru the storm

It's A Tuff choice!!
I'll break it down like this!!
Been Through The Storm..It's musical, like sum already pointed!!
It Changes especially during the intro, when he beats stops, then the string instruments chips in!
Plus i like the drums on this Track more than the drums on "Imagine"
The Outro to the track is also amazing, a good way to end the Track!!!!
Suits Stevie Wonder perfectly!!
Although Stevie Wonder killed the Hook,i was not really impressed with the content of the hook,was kinda hoping for sumthin more in-dept, seeing that it was Stevie,you Know!
Now As For Busta..never really been a big Fan of his rapping Style, not taking nothing away from Him, cuz i think he is very doe, but never really got into it!!
However his lyrics and subject matter are on point!However i just didn't really dig his flow on this track unfortunately.
Imagine to me, is more Jazzy!
The String, synth ensemble are are on Point!!
The Drums are not as catchy as "Been Through The Storm".
The Piano seems to sit perfectly well on "Imagine than they did on "Been Through The Strom".I think the latter had some effect that were absent or substituted for another effect on "Imagine"..but i feel they are better here!
Dre & Snoop did a good job with the lyrics & Delivery!
I think Snoopy's delivery & Flow was more on point than Dre,IMO!!
D'Angelo did a great Job!!!
So To Sum it up!!
It's still a tuff choice to me!
After i saw this thread i actually played both tracks, and they seem to blend and flow perfectly into one another!!

Snoop's verse almost ruined the track, he should have used Kam's verse insteard of his which turned me off to it but Dre and D'angelo were dope on it, tough choice but got to give it to Busta

Arguably So..But I like the verse Him & DOC came up with it!
It's still on Point allbeit not as lethal as the Verse Him & Kam did..
-
Both tracks are amazing. But I like "Imagine" a lil bit more
-
I could list preferences about instrumentals, flows, choruses, lyrics and whatever 'til you got bored reading them, but I'll just say this. Both tracks are stellar in my opinion, each shines in its own way. I can't put one above the other.

Well put.

been through the storm shits on imagine only a biased west coast fan would say otherwise 8)
-
Prefer been through the storm.
-
If 50 cent had as much pull on dre as they say, He should've made been through the storm his "Many Men" 2
-
I had to go with "Imagine". When Snoop comes in on the second verse it just flows with the beat at first and then he switches up to a faster flow for a minute, just sick! The piano and D'angelo on the hook was smooth as fuck, and Dre was also on point like always.
-
Been Through the Storm, the way d'angelo says "Can you imagine" on the hook really annoys me for some reason
