Joey Hip Hop's Top 10 Songs of the Year (Thread)
10. Lemon - Conway the Machine ft. Method Man

On one of the best albums of the year, the highlight is a track from Conway and Wu-Tang member Method Man that is gritty and raw- a Griselda staple. Meth's feature is a standout but Conway holds his own for a great coke anthem.

9. Got It On Me - Pop Smoke

From Day 1, Pop Smoke drew comparisons to 50 Cent based on his voice, hunger, and potential for greatness. Here, he presents a chilling rendition of "Many Men" that does the hit justice and is the bittersweet culmination of the 50 Cent comparisons.

8. Nominated - Hit-Boy ft. Dom Kennedy

Hit-Boy and Dom Kennedy had several great collabs in 2020 but their best was the song "Nominated," an ode to Nipsey Hussle. The bars are heart-wrenching and they pair well with the soul sample for an emotional but uplifting track.

7. 4 Thangs - Freddie Gibbs & Big Sean

Both Gibbs and Sean had great years this year, and to cap it off they collaborated for a celebration in time for the Laker's championship. They show great chemistry on this track and it leaves me wanting for more Freddie and Sean Don.

6. Mommy Dearest - Boldy James

On "Mommy Dearest," Boldy delivers his most introspective and personal track yet. The Griselda member talks about his relationship with his mother and interpolates Biggie's famous line about abortion to craft a tragic and gripping narrative.

5. The Bigger Picture - Lil Baby

Baby was a 2020 MVP and during the height of the George Floyd protests, he released this profound track where he discusses the need for equality as well as change. It shows his maturity to depart from usual themes for something more important.

4. Something to Rap About - Freddie Gibbs ft. Tyler, the Creator

This song will be remembered for the exceptional Tyler feature, but this Gibbs track is all-around great from the smooth instrumental and Alchemist production to the bars from Gibbs and Tyler.

3. Summerhouse - Kota the Friend

Kota the Friend started to make himself a household name in 2020. Summerhouse is the intro to his latest album and could not be more of a vibe. The production is fantastic and Kota's vocals perfect this late night driving anthem.

2. Overcomer - Royce 5’9 ft. Westside Gunn

Here, WSG teams up with Royce for an introspective track where we get the usual sophistication from Royce but also the coke rap spirit from WSG. His voice pairs great with the instrumental and Royce spits a lyrically dense verse.

1. The Climb Back - J. Cole

J. Cole only dropped 3 songs in 2020 but took the world by storm each time. TCB is the best song to drop this year, from its theme of Cole regaining his artistic inspiration to its top-notch lyricism and production. Cole is here to stay.
