Whenever Jay-Z and Young Jeezy link up, magic on the record happens. The two biggest rappers in the game linking up for an epic 5-minute track (when most songs these days are 2-3 minutes long) with two beat changes and sampled woven in from Biggie’s “Gimme the Loot” and Uncle Luke’s “I Wanna Rock.” It hasn’t gotten bigger than this song in a long time. “Sicko Mode” was a straight blockbuster event when it first dropped. Producer: Hit-Boy, Oz, Tay Keith, Cubeatz, Rogét Chahayed, Mike Dean The album’s penultimate track, “Cherry Wine”, finds the rapper lamenting a lost relationship, while optimistically looking forward, with Amy Winehouse’s haunting vocals floating in and out. It’s sad that it had to take divorcing Kelis for Nas to make an album as good as Life Is Good – which belongs in his top five no doubt – but it is what it is. There was no question at the time who the best female rapper alive was.
The beat, supplied by Boi-1da, Allen Ritter and Vinylz is murderous, and the G Herbo (going by Lil Herb at the time) was just the icing on the cake.
“Chi-Raq” was a little reminder from Nicki Minaj to rap fans that underneath all the bubble-gum pop singles and award shows, was a Queens MC who could rap circles around her peers whenever she wanted to. YG and Young Jeezy both deliver solid performances on here, but the real stars of “My Ni**a” are DJ Mustard, at the peak of his production career, and Rich Homie Quan, who had already established himself as 2013’s breakout MVP with “Type of Way.” 47.

MOST HYPE RAP SONGS OF ALL TIME TV
Young M.A – “Ooouuu”ĭuring a time when Atlanta hip hop had seemingly taken over every region, relative newcomer, Young M.A, came out with a song that was so infectiously New York that even 50 Cent had to take a break from producing TV shows and jump on the remix. Rogers’ “Say You Love Me One More Time,” the song was a smash, peaking just outside of the Billboard top 10, and propelling Big Sean’s third album, Dark Sky Paradise, into his first number one. Producer: DJ Mustard, Kanye West, Mike Free, DJ Dahi, Key Waneīig Sean, E-40, Kanye West, DJ Mustard – the collaborators on the Detroit rapper’s 2014 single seemed random, but it worked. Nevertheless, we gave it a shot.įrom Young M.A’s “Ooouuu” to Future’s “Codeine Crazy” to Chief Keef’s “I Don’t Like,” here are the 50 best hip hop songs of the 2010s.ĥ0. So for us to try and come up with the 50 best rap songs of the 2010s was almost an impossible task, given the countless classics and genre-defining tracks that were released during the decade. This wasn’t like the ’90s going into the ’00s, it was a harder and sharper turn. Coming into the new decade, the kings reigning over the Billboard charts were, predictably so, Eminem, Hov, Kanye, and Lil Wayne.īy the end of the 2010s, we had names like Juice Wrld, Lil Uzi Vert, Travis Scott, Pop Smoke, and Lil Baby now dominating the culture.
Never has hip hop music been as varied and divergent as it was in the 2010s.
