Yo, Its really dope that Chance brought Ja Rule out to perform though. Thats so much love right there, Ja was that dude back in the day but you wouldn't know it if you just started listening, much respect.

I'm having trouble posting comments, too many errors man.

Damn, that was close. I know he really wants that #1, I'm surprised he did't get one yet career wise. But damn, the Weeknd really has the charts on lock right now.

Atleast this guy is getting some light shined on him. I hope he keeps grinding, and stays out of trouble. Also, Haitian pride man.

I have to admit, I've got to brush up on my A Tribe Called Quest. But definitely good stuff in this, I have to check when they re"drop" this album.

Hope dude makes a fast recovery

Dudes been putting in mad work, nice to see he's doing something for himself. Definitely have to keep your ears open.

Damn, he got my lady Halsey on this stuff. I'm really loving her album right now. I'm not surprised He got a lot of these hiphop features, he sticks with hiphop like that. Just like Justin Timberlake did.

Yo, you guys need to chill. The Lox is dope as hell

Hey, say what you want but that album cover is dope as hell lol. I'm gonna check this out.

This is pretty cool

So?

I'm a fan of Meek, but does he know that he's only hurting himself by going on so many rants. He needs to stop going on Social Media for a while, its hurting his image. His fans are going to start getting annoyed man, sit down and focus on making the most out of this year. Its getting a little hard to watch now, less is more sometimes man.

Yo vince! said exactly what I think in that interview with Sway! Vince is saying that every era of music should be supported and respected. The early 2000's was great, and I'm proud of how he handled that interview. Thats how it should be respect each others opinions. I'm glad NORE apologized, because that conversation was a mess.

What Sway said was also really important, he said that people are just trying to preserve the history of Hiphop. What I respected was that Vince knows some of the history of hiphop and gave a lot of credit to the 80's. I hope that people in the future continue to listen to hiphop from the past as well as the music thats released then because I don't want these amazing songs to be forgotten about.

Yo, Guys if you like Big Krit's Hometown Hero (with adele sampled), you should also check out his live performance music video of it on Youtube (he's got a band with him, and the sound is different too. They add guitars and stuff), its really good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJauNftZgfA

I think its cool Gates is releasing it in 2016, this year is already jam packed. I kind of want a slower 2016, also unless you put out an amazing project. Dropping your album in December isn't the best imo.

I think its kind of messed up that 50 dissed Meek, like Meek really messed with 50 even if he was against Ross. So to me thats just like dissing a fan of yours, which imo is not cool.

Hey, Missy! Hell yeah, I'm excited about this. Missy's been dope, so its pretty cool that she's about to make hiphop fun again.

Yo, I went to go see a Chance concert and it was one of the best performances and worst concerts though. We waited practically 2 hours to even get in the door. DRAM performed and he sang really well, and Chance's live concert was awesome. But I got stuck in the corner of the concert, because the ticket lady sent us up to the 2nd floor, which security kicked us out of.

Meek really messed with 50, so this is disappointing to see. You know 50 wouldn't really be talking about this that much, if Meek wasn't in MMG. I just see it as making fun of some of your fans. Makes me respect Wayne more when he said he wouldn't diss anyone thats a fan of his.

I'm definitely a quality over quantity guy, I'd rather listen to one great tape, than 5 okay ones. Also, I like to relisten to things, so releasing a ton of music. Is going to make me avoid listening to some of it, it took me a while to listen to WATTBA. A lot of music releasing this year.

He's right. Quality over Quantity, If you release 5 mixtape in a year. You can be one of my favorite artists, but I'm going to think you cut some corners on your stuff. I would only praise that, if you went away for atleast 3 years. I don't want music to be oversaturated with your content, It'll start to become a hassle for me. Sometimes I just like to listen to the stuff I know already.

Damn Drake must of sold a quarter of this site to Future. What a time to be alive?

Eh, Why not? If you want to do something, do it.

Yo, this is off topic but HotNewHipHop post that new Missy Elliot song already. Give her the respect she deserves

Logic put out a great album in TITS. I didn't know if I would like it as much as I do, I think its pretty great. Those skits are great as well, "bitches love the rubber cube". I think my favorite tracks are Lord Willin', City of Stars, Paradise, Innermission, and I am the greatest. He definitely uses some peoples flows in some songs, but I just see it as him being a fan of those artists. Its a good album and deserves the sales, I've been streaming it but I think I'm going to cop it. Almost forgot Never Been

Are you serious some of these are shoutouts, which is not putting someone on. A lot of these people Kanye did put on, like Big Sean, Travis Scott, Cyhi, maybe the Chief Keef one, but he didn't put on Tyler the Creator, Vic, or even really 2 chains. Yeah, he helped them with a feature sometimes, but if thats what the definition of being put on is. Then everyone is putting on everybody.

TITS was a great album, I feel its going to age well. A stand out track imo is Lord Willin', it felt completely original and definitely had Logic's sound and it was unique enough that it had this "space" flavor to it. I think Logic really did his thing with this one, yes I'm pretty sure he made a concept album to widen his range of topics which he still may need to work on. He's growing though, I can feel it.

Continued comment: He has influences of current and past artists in his songs which is okay with me, after I realized that he's just like us. He's a fan of them, and I think its a great way to respect your peers and your influences from the past (Kanye, Bone Thugs). If he can just focus on evolving his rapping though, he's headed in the right direction imo. TITS is great, like the skit said all he needs "is something more"

The top comment has to be from the Twilight Zone.

I really messed with If your reading this its too late, and Take Care is my favorite Drake album (Classic imo). I didn't really like WATTBA. I though NWTS had some great songs (Too much, Pound Cake, Intro song) but I was disappointed with it after Take Care, Too much is incredible though, and that intro. I have high hopes for Views from the 6, so I hope it delivers. I feel like if he can blend his IYRTITL style (Quentins style), with his Take Care style, he can really take it to another level.

Like someone said below, "It Never Happened" might just be Drake and Future's 2nd mixtape. If not I think he's just joking man, something said for some publicity. Those championship rings said it happened.

It's damn Billboard's freaking list, I don't know why people see it as the Official greatest rappers list. Its a damn opinion. Make your own list, also how is Game gonna say "How'd you disrespect LL Cool J & KRS" which I agree with, but then leave them out of his official list?

Also, I don't know why people keep hating on Lauryn Hill like she's not dope man.

Cole is just a real dude man, he's more than that though because I don't think I've seen anyone so willing to go out of there way for their fans. I'm not sure if I was in his position, if I would do all the things he's done.

Damn, Drake is about to be the 1st rapper to have Adele featured, not just sampled. Damn thats an accomplishment.

Dope, very excited for this. I thought this collar might not be coming, but I'm glad that it is.

Man, Anderson .Paak is dope as hell. I found out about him when I went to the Earl Sweatshirt concert, and he had one of the most unique performances I've seen. Really smooth music man, and I listened to Compton a couple months later. Look out for him man, he's got huge potential.

Everyone needs to chill with that not calling Iggy rap, I don't like her music much but she is making rap music. It fits into that genre no matter if you like it or not. I get that Erykah just said this as a way to get laughs but its her craft.

Nice, I got excited earlier this year because I thought Logic was coming to the city I'm in (he wasn't even on tour though...). But, Nice logics on a world tour now, damn doing big things.

Kendrick is killing it with the concerts, he's been headlining so many events. I gotta go see one, I thought about going to Okeechobee as its happening in 2016, but man those tickets are now selling for 250 bucks, and they were talking about camping out. I don't think I'm ready for that yet, not by myself dammit.

I'm glad to find out that he doesn't have 12 kids, but 6. Thats a huge difference hnhh, still though 6 kids at the age of 24 is a lot. But hey, atleast he can provide for them.

I've got to get this when I see it, its just way too cool

People are really sleeping on Big Krit down there (comparing him to YG and Durk...Like what?!), I think he's every bit as good as Cole and Kendrick. Also, his music has a bit more replayability imo. He also has some of the most diverse sounds in Hiphop (He's a damn good producer). If your unfamiliar with krit's music, just ask me and I'll give you some suggestions. He is definitely on par with Kendrick and Cole.

Yo, I hope Bobby gets out and is focused on making the most of it, you better thank your aunt man.

Ja Rule could have a comeback to be honest. I think its possible, I think if he reaches out to Drake and he gets a big radio hit from that. Also, if Ja Rule puts out another classic song with Ashanti that hopefully finds its way to the radio, I think he could have a huge comeback.

Yo, guys when you click on Cam'ron play that video man (that video is like the epitome of NY too), because that song/video is freakin FIRE!

Man, that album cover is dope as hell. Unique enough too, man props to the guy who created that cover.

I liked what B.o.B was doing with the pop sounding songs, he was making some pretty good music I think "So good" is great, and Strange Clouds was a pretty good album. I think he got a bit too preoccupied with what people thought about him, and changed his sound a bit. As long as he's making the music he wants its cool, but I think he should really kind of add the pop vibe back, and maybe just put some of his good rapping on it (like the stuff from No genre).

I'm glad this mixtape has 7 songs, and I think theres a great reason for it. One theres a lot of music out right now, and also This mixtape is supposed to be a reintroduction to 50. He wants to put out a dope short tape, so you guys can look forward to what else is happening. Since when was 7 tracks a bad thing, its a damn mixtape.

Aye, If Drake and Earl shouting him out is helping his career, good. Its cool Kodak is getting some spotlight from this. Thanks hnhh,

Yo what?! Sean Paul was there, hella dope, he was my dude back in '02 wish I could have seen this. This sounds crazy dope, Tribe called quest, Raekwon, Wayne, Mariah, Mary J, damn Busta's always been well respected but damn this concert is crazy. Nice to see Spliff Starr too, Busta's a legend. Don't this concert make you wanna jump, jump!

Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" I feel deserves the record of the year, really beautiful song. X was an incredible album, if anyone hasn't listened to it yet. I highly recommend it, Weeknd's my dude but "I can't feel my face" isn't touching Thinking out loud. I still have to listen to D'angelo's album (so he's not included in this), but thinking out loud easily beats the competition in the record of the year category imo.

If anyone here has not listened to Summertime '06 yet, You should definitely do it. Definitely AOTY material, Vince killed it. In a year like this not everyone can win, but Vince Staples released one of (if not),the strongest projects this year. Can't say that enough.

I hope everything goes well, Boosie can pull through this. Pray for him

Pretty smooth album, and definitely one of the better R&B albums this year. Also it probably was the most traditionally R&B album that dropped this year, but people need to chill out with calling it a Classic. It was pretty good, but idk about that. Give it time to sink in, honestly I listened to it once (I'm going to listen to it again), but the thought that it might be a classic never crossed my mind (so time will tell imo). It was definitely a lot of fun and enjoyable though. Glad you guys are loving it though,

Pretty great list so far, This is hottest songs not necessarily the "best". I've found a couple of great tracks I missed out, that Boogie joint is pretty cool. Off The Rip's been a great track, and got to see the music video and French is reppin' NY hard, really good. Angels is too damn freaking good man, can't wait for Chance's next project. M's, Twist my Fingas, Vice City were great tracks. I just listened to Foreclosure for this and it was great. T.I.'s track with thug was surprisingly good too, I haven't been checking for T.I. lately but that was dope.

Damn, I wasn't feeling Cabin Fever that much. Definitely cool to see Wiz is linking up with Kevin Gates and King Los, no lie. I almost want to thank him for the Los feature lol.

Remember me. is just too damn good, really beautiful song

Nice! Damn I gotta listen to this, Wiki's pretty dope. I've listened to a bit of RatKing but I got to listen to some more so this is good. Also, Wiki is definitely one of NY's most interesting coming up artists.

Lol, Lupe making hella jokes. That Ice T one was funny as hell, but I think its really cool, that Lupe's favorite album this year was B4DA$$, it was a great album. I read what HNHH said, I didn't see it in the tweets. But TPAB is most definitely a rap album and a great one, B4DA$$ was probably the most traditional rap album of the year though, and Joey killed it. But yeah, TPAB is for sure rap, 100

Not gonna lie, with those pictures up there she's looking really pretty. Now if only her personality wasn't so damn out of line, I'd consider going there lol.

50 ft. Fetty Wap coming soon. He probably should be nominated though, he's had a huge year.

Also, the reason why so many people are arguing about what should be nominated for, is because there has been so much music dropping this year, a lot of good stuff (not so good stuff too lol) and some artists impact are just undeniable this year and that includes Fetty.

Damn, The Weeknd's my dude but I think he might lose this case. I love that song, the hills is great. They're about to lose a lot of money though.

Yo this kind of reminds me of that Yo Gotti song that ft. Cole, Wale, and Wiz Khalifa. That song went pretty hard man. I hope this song does too. Or that All of The Lights Remix with Sean, Wayne, and Drake

Oh well man, atleast its only a day before it released. Rocky's debut album got leaked a month before it came out. But, a day is pretty good nowadays.

The Weeknd is going platinum in 2016, hell yeah. Also, I hope Fetty continues to sell at this rate because if he does he'll go gold eventually.

Def Jam's probably like, "your lucky we put out your album, you saw what we did to Jeremih"

Great track and probably my favorite on the tape. 50 and Post did their thing, but god damn Post killed it.

Game needs to start thinking a bit more, he's got kids.

Big Sean's Play no Games is one of the most enjoyable music video's I've watched in a long time. Its just fun, no big booty's or nothing. Just fun, and that Martin nostalgia got to me lol. They look like they had a great time with this video. Also, getting Martin Lawrence and Bruhman, in the video was just the frosting on the cake.

Damn people really don't buy music anymore. Curren$y sold 12k (for a guy that usually sells 30), and Jeremih sold 7k, that sucks (he is album was fire, I've been streaming it but I want to support him). I don't even know how Ross's sales got so low, I think the year was too packed. For his next album, he needs to link up with Jay again, The Devil is a Lie went too hard. I was a fan of 50, but he's kinda immature.

That Lil Dicky Save Dat Money was hilarious though, I heard him freestyle on Sway in the morning and he ripped it. P.S. That G.O.M.D video was crazy.

Yo, This is looking good. I like the length too, quality over quantity. Nice to see Beans on the album too, seems dope. Glad to see The Dream too.

Damn, you've got like 2-3 albums dropping everyday in december. Nice to see Charles Hamilton though (idk about the timing), but I hope this is big for him. Nice and short though, this is a project to get people to check him out. So 4 dope tracks should give him, a lot of listeners. I'm gonna bump this

DOPE!! Charles has my attention, this project is fire! Its unique, and its got a NY sound but more like a new age with that classic NY feel in it. I'm buying it, gotta support the dude.

I copped it, its only 4 bucks. Literally will only pay more for a gallon of milk sometimes. If you like it, I think you should too.

She's fine, but I ain't mad at Fetty's response. I just hope he actually checks if its his baby, damn these stories are like warnings.

DAMN!! This is hella wrong, Dr. Dre actually did release an album lmao (bet you everyone thought that was, Kanye dropped some shoes but not a damn album lol. T-Pains still got his comeback in the works, and maybe the NorthEast comeback, mostly because Fetty Wap dominated.

Ebro's right though! SremmLife could be a top 10 album because of how much fun it is, but is SremmLife really in your top 3. Its a good album, but being in the top 3 in a year where so many incredible albums dropped is just crazy to me. I'm more upset that B4DA$$ didn't make the list at all, wtf?

Nice to see all these older R&B coming back out this year, really a return for R&B

Nice to see that GO:OD am, Trapsoul, TAAN, Summertime '06, DSP, You Should Be Here, BBTM were all on the list though. I was a little surprised not to see Halsey's Badlands (but she doesn't make much lists yet), also B4DA$$ should have atleast been on it. But the list itself was pretty good.

Yo guys, I'd appreciate it if you check out my bros soundcloud: Cuhhzo (spelled exactly like that).

Yo guys I'd appreciate it If you checked out Soundcloud: Cuhhzo (spelled exactly like that)

Thats awesome, and It's cool how him and his girl have stuck together through all these changes.

Good! stay out of trouble, Nelly's my dude. But these guys gotta stay out of legal trouble, it makes the future of rappers look kind of bleak.

Idk Gates, it wasn't gentlemanly when you kicked that girl. But this really seems like its for nothing though

Nicki's right though, she's a good rapper. She can lyrically hang with a bunch of the top rappers, Her being attractive is far from the only reason why she's popular (theres a couple of pretty female rappers). She can rap, period and girls love her. She could definitely help put other nice female rappers on too...she could change the rap landscape if she would do more tracks with other female MC's too.

I'm glad to see he looks like he's doing well. Nardwuar's that dude.

I like how Chance performs with a Live band, its a completely different experience. The sound kind of bounces around he room, which is really cool. The room kind of comes alive

Damn that sucks, hope he bounces back from that. I like to see people succeed even if I don't bump their music much.

Damn, it would've been cool if I was in ny at the time. Most people have to pay for stuff like this. Cole and his Dreamville crew are cool as hell for this, and all the other stuff they do.

I've been meaning to get into RatKing. I've heard songs here and there and I thought they pretty good, and interesting enough. I know Wiki can rip it, and Thanks HNHH!

Aye thats pretty awesome. I was reading the article, and I was like why would Jay Z break it down he didn't win the football game lol. But they asked him too, this is a pretty cool story.

This would be dope as hell to see.

Damn yeah, this puts everything back into perspective. That'd be kind of tough to not have all the answers and people looking to you, like you know exactly what your doing all the time. I see the appeal of not wanting the fame, and just being looked at as another dude again. But he also has the opportunity to have people actually listen to what he has to say, which is a blessing (and a curse...), much respect to Kendrick. This is a lot to take on but he's handling it really well.

Cool, White Iverson, Blessings, Señorita, and I can't feel my face made the list. Nice to see "Say It" on there, also thanks for the link to the song it sampled HNHH, I'm a bit embarrassed to say I haven't heard it before lol. But I thought it was really good.

Hey guys I'd appreciate it if you check out my bro's soundcloud: Cuhhzo (spelled just like that), It'd be cool to hear some feedback.

Troy Ave's got some good stuff, so I don't get all the hate. That Restore the Feeling/NYC track was very dope. So I'm def checking this out.

That Towkio "Heaven Only Knows" is dope, I'm surprised Big Sean's "All Your Fault" isn't on here. Also, I probably would've went with Vince's "Jump Off The roof", over "Norf Norf" but they're both good so I'm not complaining. P.S. I think Earl Sweatshirts "DNA" should've made the list its simple, but very good and dark.

Theres too many people talking about Meek and Drake below lol, Its Durk's song and Durk had the best verse imo. His 2nd verse is pretty dope, (He might use autotune too heavily though, but this bumps).

Big Sean's "All your Fault" man, that beat goes too hard.

I don't trust this guy, don't make a deal with a guy who'll do whatever he wants anyway regardless of what he said. But Bobby's in a rough situation, and the judge does not want to let bobby go.

Chance is a good dude, this is truly doing the most.

I honestly like the list so far, Its hard to complain about whats not in the top 10 when you haven't seen the top 10. Nice to see DSP, and GO:OD am on here thats dope. Kehlani's album was really good, so I'm glad she made the list.

Damn respect to Iman Shumpert, thats crazy. Congrats

Cabin Fever 1 was the best and was no where near a classic (I enjoyed some songs but it was kind of mediocre, Phone Numbers and Homicide were great though). Everything gets called a classic nowadays, I'm not hating. I just feel Wiz has way better material than the Cabin Fever series. I think Kush&OJ's a classic (and I don't like every song on it either, but I can see why It'd be seen that way), but imo Wiz has some classic songs but not many classic projects.

Yo, its whatever for how long hnhh dragged out this list, I don't even care whats where anymore. I'm glad to see Summertime '06 was top 5, that was incredible. But Joey's B4DA$$, and Wale's TAAN weren't even on the list. Also I'm not complaining about Jeremih's spot, his album was great. Certain things I agree with like The Weeknd, and Earls spots those albums were incredible, but yeah thats all I've got to say. Not the list I would have made, but they showed some love to underrated albums so I'm cool I guess.

This was my favorite track off the album, really great track.

this is Quest, I've heard of him but I had no idea he changed his name. I might give this a listen.

Troy Ave's pretty good so I gotta give the mixtape a listen.

I wouldn't call Drake the Goat, but I think it's tough and only going to get tougher to argue the impact on the game he's had. Lyrically he's no where near, but I do think Drake has been doing amazing things for rap especially in the mainstream. Also, I think Hov is the goat personally but I probably wouldn't argue if someone thought Em, Nas, Rakim, KRS-1, or even Kanye was. Because I think they've done a lot for rap, have some pretty great music and have a great legacy imo.

WTF, The Top comment is gone. This is getting tiring, man.

R.I.P. DJ Timbuck2, he was really young and looked healthy. I don't know him that well, but it really doesn't matter. Rest in Peace my dude

Timbaland that all caps is killing me lol, That Aaliyah feature is reason enough to check the mixtape out. Also Young Thug, Tink, and 2 Chains are all interesting artists at least. So I'm optimistic about this.

Ok, I just want to say that Cudi has a very unique style. but Cudi and Drake are not the first rapper-singers, you had Lauryn Hill, Nelly, and Ja Rule before them (maybe some people I missed too).

This is the hottest songs of 2015, not necessarily the best. I'm glad to see the Hills at no.5, and Comma's and Hotline Bling were huge so It makes sense they were so high.

Yo, I went to a Mac concert on Dec. 4th, and it was Live as hell. Mac really puts on a show, so I completely understand. It was a really amazing experience, and he's postponing which is cool. GO:OD am is incredible so I'd hate for them to miss out on the show. Get some rest my dude.

Chain snatching is lame

Dude's always hating before they see a movie, It has the potential to be pretty good. Notorious was pretty good, and These guys do resemble Big and Pac. I'm pretty excited actually

Some people are so petty man, cool to see OG Maco's reply though. Thats a great response

Chris just up and raising his daughter, and dealing with the responsibilities of being an unexpected father. He seriously has my respect for that, too many people running away from their kids.

Busta Bus! I like the features but I think there might be a bit too much but whatever. Dude got my homie Sean Paul on this! There are a lot of great features though, a lot of people who'll compliment him.

lol this was pretty funny, but Meek responded to a joke, with another joke. It's not that serious

Fab been in the game for a long time now, its great to see his longevity and how many people bump him. Been my dude since I heard "Holla Back youngin".

Royalty wasn't bad at all, It had the potential to be better but there's a couple of really great songs.

Yo guys if you like this check out Busta's latest mixtape, because its dope as hell. This is just one of the great songs on it. Chance went off though.

Quality over Quantity, throwing trash out the window 5 times a year doesn't make you a hard worker (not necessarily talking about Wiz). Actually taking the time, and crafting something you think is great and putting it out for the people takes more work and thought.

Big Krit's album should have been no. 1 imo, it should atleast be top 5. Where's Busta Rhyme's mixtape because that tape was absolute fire, and I think 50 cent's Kanan tape was good too. Not everything can be included so I get it I guess, but I think they missed some areas.

That WWE bed is dope as hell, I would've loved that as a kid. Fab's my dude, but rolexes are a bit over the top lol. I'm guessing it might only be used on special occasions, and he's probably going to hold on to it.

My top 10 of 2015: 1. TPAB, 2. Summertime '06, 3. GO:OD am, 4. DSP, 5. IDLSIDGO, 6. TITS, 7. TAAN, 8. B4DA$$, 9. 90059, 10. What A Weird Day. Those are some really great albums imo.

Post Malone is dope, I've listened to his songs and I mess with most of them heavy. So I'm looking forward to his debut, March seems like a great month for him. He's not rushing it, but its not too far either.

Tons of haters in here lol. He's pretty good

Really cool article, and a great recap to an amazing year. Also, reminds me that rap music is kind of a brotherhood in a way (except for the politics).

Yo, Day 2 looks insane to me. Ice Cube, Asap Rocky, Halsey, Run The Jewels, Vince Staples, Disclosure, James Bay (heard him sing, and he's good), SZA, I don't listen to much rock but Guns and Roses is Huge. Sounds like fun, I've never seen any of these guys concerts either unfortunately. Day 1 looks pretty dope too with Joey, RaeSremmurd, and Ellie Goulding.

"It's Freeway in the place with B. Sig, and I got what it takes to rock the mic right, yeah" Thats a classic song, good looks Freeway

I hope people don't start rushing albums out, Has no one here heard of something reaching a saturation point. Everyone wanna be Wayne or Future dropping a ton of music in a short span of time. 2016 would be cool, even if it was just filled with the people who didn't drop albums last year.

Good Promo for Kevin Gates lol

I have no idea if this is real or not, Hopsin makes too many stories up. But Good Luck out there bro

"Since 15 it was my dream to work with Preme"- Mac Miller, DJ Premier is an absolute legend. He has so much love for Hip Hop too. Glad to have him still doing his thing, this guy is something incredible

Its dope that Game is showing a lot of love to our overseas people. They love Hip Hop too, and being able to do a world tour seems like a dream. Traveling while doing what you love, and foreign people showing a ton of love. Too nice

That Gang Starr- moment of truth, sounds special. That Show and Prove was dope, huge cut Shyheim ripped it lol. Really Good look, HNHH Thank You!

Fetty sounding dumb right now, you didn't wear protection dude. Don't be so quick to say that child's not yours. P.S. That chick thats interviewing him is fine as hell!

They look like they have chemistry, seems like a nice couple.

I don't know why people are comparing PND to Bryson, and Lanez. They don't even sound much alike, PND sounds closer to The Weeknd than either of those dudes. He sounds more like Future and The Weeknd combined lol.

Damn NY must mess with Durk

That Cover's tight, The art style reminds me of Samurai Jack

Meeks right though, whats the crown worth if you can just take shortcuts to get it?

Dudes been in jail for a year already, I hope that stuff gets taken off his sentencing or something. Keep your head up, and I hope when you get out you change your lifestyle and be the best you can be bro.

Yo who murdered those shoes in the pictures.

This is a really great interview actually, Freddie Gibbs seems like a cool dude. I'm glad he's succeeding with the whole independent route, keep it up man

You have to find something to keep you busy, he's gonna be gone for a long time. 2 Chainz response was a good one, you can't take this personally.

This seems like a lot of fun, damn I have to go to one of these festivals one day. Just a huge mixture of music, with a lot of people/groups that Iike

Did anybody watch Out of Jimmy's Head? I used to watch it and had a crush on her (still do), and it's crazy to see how much time has passed and what she's doing now. Lol, she was the main reason I watched that show.

Extremely excited for that track ft. Ed Sheeran!

Dope!!

I think Tinashe has an incredible singing voice (her covers on youtube), but I just can't seem to enjoy her music for some reason. I have yet to listen to Amethyst, I heard the one she dropped before that and her album.

Also, Does no one know her from Out of Jimmy's Head. I had a crush on her growing up, and It looks like I still do lol

Honestly I didn't like Shadow of a Doubt that much, that was really my first Freddie Gibbs project. It wasn't bad, I just wasn't feeling it too much. Is Piñata better in some people's opinions? Maybe its just a preference thing

Tyga looks like Em in the top picture, lol it don't look bad though

Damn another album, already? I guess its normal for Wale, as he tends to release a project a year, but he tends to alternate mixtape and albums. Anyways Shine is a great title, and has me anticipating this TAAN was great. Wale is pretty creative in how he delivers his verses, and the beats he raps on. Good stuff

This dude did his thing with Trapsoul, I think part of whats so appealing is that. You know when you have a sound that you can maneuver in, it's flexible and you stick to it all the way through. You kind of create an image, that sticks out. A sound that people recognize when they hear that persons name (I'm not crediting him with the sound, I'm saying he made it his own), I think thats cool and pretty powerful.

That kid is tall as hell, seem's like a great birthday though

Man, Rocky aint saying nothing. So it doesn't matter much to me, they still look pretty different. Rocky does have a unique style, but I always felt like travis got inspired by it and added a twist as I don't compare them much.

Damn this is going to be intense, They plugged in a bunch of Basketball legends and are about to have an intense game. Anthony Anderson is going to make this a ton of fun, also can't wait to see a lot of those NBA players, it's cool that they brought them back for something like this.

The Weeknd probably has the most unique hairstyle right now to be honest, that thing is hard to describe and is becoming iconic.

This is an amazing song but NOT a throwback, How many times are you gonna call a song from 4-5 yrs ago a throwback (considering its the beginning of 2016, this song was released almost 3 yrs ago). You choose something from My Way, 8701, Confessions, or even Here I Stand. Once again its an amazing song, and I don't mind this post but mix it up

I don't think Travis is a biter, inspired by it maybe. But It's like when I think of Travis Scott and Asap Rocky other than their hair looking sometimes similar, they are 2 completely different people and styles. So yeah,

Also, Rocky can't talk about the lack of real competition in the rap game lol. He's cool, but the way he raps isn't exactly competitive, there are a good amount of rappers who can drop songs that make it feel like game time. Rocky's almost too chill to do that

You don't see Kanye calling Young Thug a biter because he was the first to wear skirts in the rap game, lol I just felt like making that comment.

Damn, so how does he get out of this?

Cool, I gotta check this tape out. Stro is slept on heavy

Yo, I've been looking forward to this since Come Down came out, I saw him perform at an Earl Sweatshirt concert and I've been checking for him since then.

Macklemore is good, He's definitely unique in his subject matter. Refreshing as hell, I love some of his songs "The Town" (which is my favorite), "My Oh My", "Otherside", "Gold", "Starting Over", "Can't hold us", I even like "Castle" (which is weird and corny, but it can be fun if you give it a chance). I like what he adds to rap music.

If anything check out "The Town", I think its amazing in a way. It's just passionate.

Obama's right though. TPAB gets my AOTY of 2015, the pres. knows whats up, Drake is a great entertainer too, good stuff.

Fetty's a real cool guy man, no problem doing stuff like this. He's doing some great things, much love

Definitely not bad, It's not super crazy or nothing. But it's more than what I was expecting, also I know he did it on purpose but he was using a drake flow toward the end. (don't kill me lol)

Damn, Meek has the hardest intros. Pray for Em is flames

That beginning of that Pray for Em beat sounding like something out of Death Note.

50 is not a snitch as far as I know, people always use that to try and diss him.

Honestly I'm already kind of tired of this beef, all this social media back and forth makes a beef get old really quick.

Stunting like my Daddy is still hard as hell, man that track gets me hype and is still one of my favorite Wayne tracks.

This sounds live as hell, but man. Prodigy swung through, damn this was an event. Cool to see all the great surprises they had.

The hate is unreal in here, and I really don't understand why

Damn, this makes me pretty sad. Mos Def's a legend, and always had bars that were above most of the rap I've ever heard. This upcoming album being his last is kind of bitter sweet. Hopefully he has one of those rap retirements and he's back in 2-3 years lol. But a ton of respect, and go enjoy that non-hollywood life bro.

Family Business might be my all time favorite Kanye track at the end of the day. That track is special, and so highly relatable.

This concert looks like a ton of fun, a lot of artists that I really like on this list, and I'm a huge Cole fan but have never got to see him perform. Same for Staples, and Halsey. It'd be cool to see Death Cab for Cutie, and X ambassadors too.

I'm honestly looking forward to this album, I think they're a really interesting group and make some great stuff. So I'm definitely wondering what they cooked up this time.

Damn this is smooth as hell, Ed's got a pretty different sound on the chorus but it sounds freakin great. Rockie really delivered, they both have a sound that blends extremely well on this track. Dope

Great List, Should've put "Heartache" of the warm up too. Cole went off, and he's still one of my favorites to this day.

So this is an album right? so he's releasing 2 albums this year

Well GFK, thats your groups fault. You guys (most likely RZA) drew up the contract and said it didn't have to be released until 88 yrs later. So it's hard to complain unless you had nothing to do with the album. You guys made the rules, go give that to Bill Murray or something lol.

hmm, I don't know who to believe on this one.

I'm not voting for a dude who kicked Muslim people out of a rally of his. When they were doing what he told them they should do, They had the patches on them that showed they were of Islamic faith (which I think is dumb). They did not cause any problems, and he still kicked them out. It was downright messed up, and embarrassing.

50 messed up for that comment about Irv's father, like I don't give a damn if you have beef. Thats messed up.

I think Stalley's cool. His flow just doesn't fit on every beat though, I'm looking forward to this project.

Calling Future a legend? Already, like before 2015 most people weren't even talking about future, Cam has the potential to be a future legend though, he's definitely on the right track. Dope picture btw

Can't Wait! Hyped as hell

Yo, the fact of the matter is people don't buy albums anymore. I was a bit disappointed at first too, but I respect an artists vision. Probably because I'm a traditional artist, but It also costs money to clear samples. But since less people buy music its not wrong to expect less tracks, just saying. But I really think Kanye just thinks the albums better with these 10 tracks.

Hell yeah, This collab is exciting as hell, Chance and Kanye this is going to be something to see.

College Dropout is still my favorite Kanye album, those tracks on there are incredible and even the skits still have me cracking up. Really amazing album, Also I have to look up the extra tracks I may not have heard.

Naomi still looks incredible, Nice shoot

Chance needs to drop Third Mixtape already, like damn lol. I've been anticipating this for too long, and he got my hopes up when he said it would be sliding down the chimney.

OH MY GOD!! Neil deGrasse Tyson just ripped B.o.B., like Damn. He actually went off, and spit facts. Damn lol

WIz has a point, Max B did start the Wavy thing. Don't hate Wiz because he's honoring one of his favorite rappers. Shout outs to Max B!!

People always talk about relevancy, No one is relevant forever. Relevancy is for hype beasts, just try and appreciate the people for what they did, when they did it. With that said Wiz is still pretty relevant. With statements like these its no wonder Legends in Hip Hop don't get respect in general. Relevancy doesn't change the sound of the music

I think this albums gonna be pretty dope, from what I've heard of it so far. February's gonna be pretty awesome

Nice throwback!! HNHH, thank you. I remember this was my joint, and I had a huge crush on Rihanna back through 05-07. Great song

I love these covers, too dope.

Both Earl and Post Malone are pretty dope. Interesting though, it seems everyone in the rap game is going at each other lately. Anticipating both their albums though

Yo, the Love Wiz gets in South America has to be huge. Thats dope as hell

Anticipating this

50 can't really talk about Grammy's while I felt he deserved one for GRODT, he didn't get a grammy until 2010. 7 yrs after he broke into the game. So hard to look down on Meek for not having one, when you just barely have 1.

This makes a lot of sense, a lot of her fans probably have the samsung free album, or streamed the album on Tidal. So it's really not a huge deal, and I think her sales will shoot up during the upcoming week. People really want to laugh at some artists, then tell them what to do with their money smh.

This lineup is dope as hell, Usher, DMX (both legends), Leon Bridges, Kehlani, Anderson .Paak, Lil Dicky, also Futures gonna get it hype. The Roots, I know its there show but damn, they're special too. Seems dope, and it seems like a good blend of music, sounds like a great time.

RIP Big Kap, gone too soon

Classic and definitely a great Throwback Thursday! thanks HNHH, still a dope ass song

Alright do your thing Trae!

Damn Kevin Gates sold over 100k his first week, thats awesome as hell. He's got some very loyal fans, Rihanna did really well too, 175k after all the extra stuff she did thats pretty incredible imo. And damn, Adele is still selling 100k after a couple months! I wouldn't be surprised if she goes diamond to be honest (eventually)

This was pretty awesome, I'd love to see him do this in more countries. That'd be dope

How is Jay Elec gonna talk about 50 having the potential to rap right now (which he definitely does), but while jay Electronica is a good rapper he doesn't drop much music. 50's also a legend so he already made a mark on the game, even if he's been acting immature.

This reminds me of the time I met LL Cool J at a red lobster, that was pretty awesome. Growing up, I used to think that Red Lobster was the fanciest restaurant, I've changed my mind lol but its still great.

Damn, Khalifa wasn't bad (some cool tracks on it). These are pretty low sales for Wiz, he usually sells around like 100k (usually around 120 tbh). He just had one of the biggest hits of his career with "See You Again", probably should have just thrown it on the album too.

I honestly believe that Young Thug may have hurt his potential sales by going at Wayne, and then dissing Rich Homie Quan. Like he probably shared a good amount of fans with those 2.

Why everyone hating on Beyonce and her fans. It's the Super Bowl, things during the halftime show get love just like the advertisements. So if she says take him out to Red Lobster, I'm sitting here like Red Lobster is my joint and I'm pretty hungry. Also buying Red Lobster's not that bad lol

This has me hype, luckily Kanye's album and Views are spaced out. They both have my full attention, excited man

I was unsure about the name at first too, but it's starting to grow on me too. Especially if he's talking about Picasso, add some Picasso inspired album art, and it'll definitely grow on you.

Congratulations!! Kid Ink, very special day for them I'm sure.

I just realized Kanye's career trajectory might be influenced by Picasso a bit. Picasso was said to be a master at drawing at a young age (he could draw the fundamentals, incredibly realistically), his teachers would notice that his potential was amazing. Picasso went through phases, such as his Blue period (808's), Cubism (Yeezus), etc. Being a master artist when he was younger (College Dropout-Graduation), as Picasso got older he got bored with the things people called impressive. He experimented, and as when he was older he wanted to learn how to paint like a child as he thought children had limitless creativity (while adults were like held down by all of our experience or something like that). "It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child"- Picasso, so thats just a theory of mine. Sorry for the paragraph

I don't like the cover at all lol, I hope the albums good.

Finally got the stream to work, just in time to catch the end of wolves. Sounds pretty good, those clothes though idk lol. But damn, I don't know how good the event was because I just got a connection. P.S. Is that Swaggy P in the crowd lol

Damn, those models are not allowed to smile.

Huge look for Vic and Young Thug though. Vic jamming the most to his song lol, Pusha feeling it too P.S. Thanks for shouting out my hometown, Flatbush bro

His moms in a video game, so many surprises lol

Finally saw some people getting hype as hell, all the way in the back

I highly doubt Kanye's gonna sell his album to this dude, I think a good amount of rappers might. But Kanye is all about art, and after sharing that live stream event. I don't think he would

Damn, Ye drop the damn album lol. I have to hear this thing CDQ, hopefully it pops up at midnight.

Damn it all to hell, This album's didn't drop today. Damn I'm starting to get frustrated I swear.

I could've sworn this album was dropping today, damn it. I'm getting frustrated man.

Man, I swear I practically wasted this day. Waiting for this album to drop, listening to all of Kanye's damn albums to get hyped for it to drop.

This wasn't just a jab at Meek Mill, they didn't do well in sports in general. The 76er's are horrible right now, The Eagles were okay.

I wasn't feeling this album, It was just too slow (they were long songs too) and blended together. On top of all of that, I just didn't think the music was very good tbh. I can definitely love slower songs, but I wasn't feeling it at all.

Alright, I don't blame you if your trying to perfect the album. Good look Chance

On a side note, I've been sleeping on G-Eazy pretty damn hard. Dude's dope, that song "Complete" is beautiful as hell, great song. Been bumping some his albums today, they're pretty damn good.

Yo, Kanye's latest tweets are hilarious. Tron references, he's still working on the album too lol

RIAA just giving away Platinums, I'm not feeling it. I wish they would tell us when an album went platinum through sales alone atleast. This doesn't feel legit at all.

Damn, I wish Tory didn't say that. Because If Drake straight out disses him, I would want him to fire back. But Drake doesn't always drop direct disses so It's probably not gonna happen. But yeah, Tory needs to focus on making the most out of his strong buzz right now

Congrats Kenny!

Yo, Kanye just said he was 53 million dollars in debt. Like damn, no lie maybe he should sell the album to Shkreli, honestly I'm not sure how that happens, as I don't know how they rack up debt like that (maybe loans for his fashion ideas). But seems like a ton of these dudes owe someone a lot of money.

No lie, I'm thinking Kanye should sell the album to Martin Shkreli, dude is 53 million in debt (If it gets delayed but Kanye can release it, I say go for it). That's no joke

Adidas is backing Kanye heavily, and since they're are a company. So they're most likely not doing it just because. I can definitely believe that Kanye's 53 million in debt, he also runs his own label.

Berner got them Cookies might be right guys, Thank you! After Kanye's tweet about The Life of Paul. Kanye might be talking about Paul The Apostle, (Pablo is Spanish for Paul) and When you google The Life of Paul. It takes you to the Paul The Apostle, not to mention everyone's been saying TLOP sounds like a Gospel album. So Kanye may have dropped a major hint.

Yo, I was listening to that Mos Def message (The one where he's stuck in South Africa). And Mos Def really wanted to put out a verse on No more Parties in L.A., I hope Kanye just throws it on the album. I think it would be dope, Mos Def killed his verse anyway. P.S. That was on Kanye West DOT com, so I don't see how the album's on that site.
