TheBayToLA's TOP HIP HOP SINGLES

“This is my favorite good friday song. Everything feels and sounds right on this one. All of the verses were solid, especially the one from Talib, who showed that he still has it in a big way. Could Kanye sign Kweli next for a Good music Blackstar reunion, i can only pray...4.5 stars”

“Unfortunately, the parts of this song are individually greater than the whole. This song shines at times, but fails to connect overall musically and seems to lack a real melody. I love Curtis Mayfield, he is what pharell pretends to be (minus the skateboards), so its good to see him get some shine, although his name should be in giant print on the top billin. A bit lethargic, and Cudi's input was completely unnecessary, at least give him a verse, but i love what this song is trying to be.”

“This is a dope colab that actually sounds better than i would expect. Im a big fan of both and this blends both of their styles perfectly.”

“I am really in live with this beat. This is not the deepest song by any means, but it has been stuck in my head since the vmas. Apparently Kanye has graduated from his past works and is now simply a Scholar you is using his knowledge to the best of his ability. Its great to hear Pusha on here, although he sounds kinda alone without mal. I don't care if kanye doesnt have a commercial single, he is making quality music thatis like nothing else out there.”

“Wow this is great. Atmosphere still hits me with that feeling like its the first time I heard him. Not many people still create genuine music. 4.5”

“Taylor gang or pull a david carradine(f*ck yourself and die) haha this is cool, but not really universal enough to be a big hit.”

“For rating #420, it seems appropriate that I am burnin one while listening to a song by Big K.R.I.T. What is great about Krizzle is that he doesn't need to talk about the typical smoking, drinking, party and bullsh!t, but he easily could if he wanted. My interpretation is KRIT's production is so good that he is gonna make it one way or another, he spits like a preacher and his lyrics are real. It's hard not to feel him.”

“Cee-Lo is making sure that real music lives on. I love the old school feel with the new school lyrics. Can't wait for lady killer! 4.5 stars”

“I remember you featured Atmosphere and Murs when rosie perez dropped, but I would definitely be happy with some more Slug. This is great and reminds me why I love atmosphere.”

“DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN! Don't judge a book by its cover! The white twista is very fitting.”

“I've known Mikey could spit some serious rhymes since he killed "looseleaf paper" a while ago. It's good to hear him on a different style production(which does share some sounds with "drive slow" or "shorty wanna be a thug" in reality) but its not the same beat. This is much more haunting and spacely. I hope all this momentum doesn't get wasted by the kids.”

“This beat is dope and YC sounds pretty cool. Not quite "say superman" but its up there.”

“This production is smooth and sophisticated and all the artist sound pretty good on it. The only thing I'm not really feeling is the duet on the hook. Not sure why, but their vocals don't really mesh well imo.”

“Oops i meant to give it a 4.5, but since i'm already typing, CAN YOU PLEASE DELETE THESE ADVERTISEMENTS AND SPAMMERS? It is seriously getting annoying.”

“These are 2 of my favorite artists so am i a lil biased? yes! do i give a sh!t? ummmm no...Anything Mickey touches turns to gold. P.S. In case people wonder why certain artists who may not be as "talented" blow of more than others, it is because of their personality, relatability, and connection to the listeners. Also the LCD factor plays a role, alot like WWE wrestling. I'm not talking about these artists though, they have skills, so don't get it twisted. 4.5 stars another official song of summer!”
