The 100 best karaoke duets for you and your go-to partner.
Why It Works: Trading chorus lines and verses about overcoming the odds to rule rap, The Game and 50 Cent got surprisingly personal in order to explain their triumphant realities on “Hate It or Love It”; think of the song as a dose of swagger, with a little extra heart and friendly support, in a karaoke setting.
