Some of the rebuttals SteveFan posted are incorrect.

1979: Paulette and Tanya Winley - "Rhymin' and Rappin'"
1984: Only "Roxanne's Revenge", but not "Roxanne, Roxanne"
1999: JT Money - "Who Day"
2003: Nas - "Made You Look (Apache Remix)"
2009: Gucci Mane - "Lemonade"

Within many chapters, there are small lists that are probably not eligible.

It was a Spotify playlist with the collected songs. What made it confusing was that there were also songs that were thematically similar, but not the exact rebuttals. So I sort of had to guess which of the two were the right ones for some of them. I'm just glad Ron gave the precise ones.
