“Real Gs move in silence like lasagna” is still one of the greatest hip hop lines of all time. While “6 Foot 7 Foot” might not get the same acclaim as the 2008 single, listening to Wayne spit hot fire over a sample of “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)” is about as good as it gets. Two years after the magic that was “A Milli”, Lil Wayne re-connected with Bangladesh ( one of the most underrated hip hop producers ever), to create more magic. This is Em’s greatest lyrical performance from recent history and one of the best rap songs of the 2010s. Well, as catchy as a 6-minute lyrical, miracle rap song can sound. On a technical level, this song showcases Em’s lyrical abilities at an incredibly high-level, all while managing to sound pretty catchy. “Rap God” was just a little reminder from Eminem that nearly 20 years into his recording career, he can just about out-rap anyone else in the world. “Humble” gave Kendrick his first number one single and is undoubtedly his catchiest song to date. Once you heard the guitar riffs opening up the song and Mike Will Made It’s drums kick in, it was a wrap. Kendrick Lamar – “Humble”įor all the acclaim and success that Kendrick Lamar achieved with his previous three albums, what was still missing from his catalogue was a bonafide, hit single. Over a soaring Cargo track, Hov and Jeezy go back and forth with some of their most introspective verses to date, and created one of the best hip hop songs of the 2010s. Whether it’s the “Go Crazy (Remix)” or “I Do” (which also features an incredible Andre 3000 verse), the two pre-eminent coke rappers of their generation always manage to cook up some shit. 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 Nigga” 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.

NEW HIP HOP SONGS 2022 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. Sign up to our newsletter for the dopest content exclusive for hip hop heads.
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.
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.
