Ludacris – Runaway Love
If you had told me that the man behind “Blueberry Yum Yum” and “Move Bitch” was going to essentially create the “Brenda’s Got a Baby” of the new millennium, I would have probably called you crazy. Yet in 2006 Ludacris did just that with “Runaway Love”, featuring a haunting hook sung by Mary herself. The contrast between the disturbing imagery of the verses and the serene optimism of the chorus is what makes this a truly compelling collaboration.
