Best songs from the early to mid-2000s?

I stumbled across Diplomatic Immunity Vol. 1 on my external HDD and it reminded me of how great this time period was for rap. Dipset was a their peak, Roc-a-Fella was at their peak and mainstream rap was just better. What were some of your favorite songs from the earlier half of the decade?

 Some stuff I've been bumping

Freeway - What We Do

Juelz Santana - Oh Yes

Jay-Z - This Can't be Life

Beanie Siegel - Where Have You Been

Quick question before I answer. Why is it only east songs you're asking for? :?Black-Demon

damn I forgot how much I loved the beat on "This Can't Be Life".

also, my choice is The Blueprint. All of it. haha. I'll try to think of some more though.

But by all means if you've got songs from other regions, post them. I've realized that there are loads of songs that have I really liked at the time, but that have not made it into my collection. 

 Actually scratch that, just post anything from this time period. It was so righteous.

It really is.

Some more songs I remembered/found:

Cam'ron & Juelz - Oh Boy

Dipset - Crunk Muzik

Ja Rule - Put It On Me

Birdman & Clipse - What Happened to that Boy

Busta Rhymes - Break Ya Neck

Beanie Sigel - Feel it in the Air

Jay-Z - Dear Summer

Anybody got anything?

More:

Young Gunz - No Better Love (feat. Rell)

Beanie Siegel - Roc the Mic

Freeway & Peedi Crakk - Flipside

Memphis Bleek - Round Here (feat. TI & Trick Daddy)

Cam'ron - What Means the World to You

Trick Daddy - Shut Up

G-Unit - Poppin' Them Thangs

Does anyone else have any suggestions because in a little over one week of action the following have been suggested:

The entirety of the Blueprint
Eminem - Stan

It'd be great if someone that was familiar with the South (especially the Big Tymers because I liked them a lot but don't remember the song titles) and the West would contribute because I'm not too familiar with those regions and are likely hiding most of the gems I have forgotten about.

I think it's more so just because this is such a broad topic that people could literally just name off hundreds and hundreds of songs....

Juelz Santana - "Mic Check"
Ghostface - "Apollo Kids"
M.O.P. - "Ante Up"
Little Brother - "The Way You Do It"
