Aug 3, 2016 To be clear, I'm not about objectivity, I care more about enjoying music. Not just hiphop btw, 2016 has been awesome so far. Haven't heard as much as some of you though so a lot will not be on this. Try to have the first 10 up tonight. What are yours? Spoiler: 30-20 30. Sia - Cheap Thrills I'm not sure if this was officially released in 2016, because when I google it I get the remix version. I absolutely love this song. Sia is doing a great job and the beat is amazing. @Deadpool you know Rihanna rejected this song? I don't mind it that much but imagine her doing this song. Sean Pauls mumbling and I never listen to that version. 29. Drake - One Dance As expected, Drake's 'Views' wasn't that great. But this single -as well as the Rihanna collab 'Too Good'- sounds so great on many occasions. In the car, at parties. It's not that impressive I guess but it has such a nice summer vibe. I still listen to it a lot. - I tried to get a yt link but they were all r-----s covering it- 28. Zara Larsson - This One's For You Yeah I have no arguments to say it's that good. It's a regular pop/dance song made for Euro 2016. Her voice is just amazing, I'm a huge fan of her., not just this song. And the performance at the opening/closing ceremony >>> Also have a lot of great memories from parties this was played. 27. Kevin Gates - Pride 'Kevin Gates is just an average trap rapper'. h--- no. This is one of the most honest and emotional songs I heard from him. About a man trying to act like a tough guy but on the inside being overpowered by feelings. The chorus kind of explains the whole song. This song shows he is on of the best rappers right now. This list is not really in order, because if it was this would have been higher for sure. Thank @Soldier for introducing me to his music a while back. ISLAH is a classic. 26. Gucci Mane - Pop Music Gucci is out of prison, how could you miss it? He has been active as f--- and even released a new album. To be honest, I don't like the album as much as some of his previous music, but d--- it had some gems. This song was described by dew as 'one of the hardest songs ever' and I don't have much to add. Gucci's release is a blessing for rap music. 25. Kanye West - Real Friends I have always been a fan of Kanye being experimental even though it has been hit or miss for me. I absolutely love 808 (@Koolo ) and MBDTF is a top 5 album of all time for me. I tried so hard to love Yeezus as much as some of you do, and I like it a lot.. but not as much. The official Life Of Pable was a huge dissappointment to me, especially after hearing some of the OG songs. This might be the song that comes the closest to a traditional rap song, but it is my favorite song of the album by far. Would have been different if Saint Pablo was on it though. Such a great song, and for me a lot of replay value. -f---ing youtube only has s-----y covers and copyright s---- 24. Pitbull ft. Enrique Iglesias - Messin' Around I am a HUGE fan of summer/chill songs and I haven't stop playing this when it came out. All of the Enrique and Pitbull collabs have been great to me and this is no exception. Of course there is nothing deep, original or special about this song.. but the dude knows how to make catchy music. When it comes to actual quality this is not on the same level as some others here, sure, but I love it. 23. Fifth Harmony - The Life I listened to Fifth Harmony's album a few times and honestly, it's full with gems. Not that it's really special, but if you like this song, and their hit song 'Work From Home' you should definitely check out the album. I picked this song because it's my personal favorite and the chorus has been stuck in my head for days. And the production is great. One of these girls also had another big hit, 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' that I wanted to include but that song is ruined for me by that corny fa---- Shawn Mendes. 22. Young Thug - With Them I have said before, SS3 is my favorite Young Thug project. Mainly because I love the production. And on this song, and obviously others, Thug proves that besides using different and creative voices/melodies, he can also rap. Such a great artist. Also when I first heard this song the melody reminded me of Nigg*s in Paris somehow. 21. Jay Z ft. Fat Joe, Remy Ma & French Montana - All The Way Up (remix) 2016 has been empty for Jay fans so far. But lately he released 3 songs which gives me hope we'll get a new project soon. When this song popped up when I visited atrili, I have never heard the original -not kidding-. So not only did I hear a new, and first 2016 Jay verse, I got introduced to this b-----r of a song. All of them were great on this, no doubt. A remix for the city.. 20. Shakira ft. Carlos Vives - La Bicicleta I have absolutely no idea what this song means, but I am a huge fan of spanish (summer) music and this, among a few others has been on replay for months now. Spoiler: 19-13 19. 2 Chainz ft. Lil Wayne - MFN Right Weezy and ti--y Boy released their collab album, but from all the collabs they did this year this song is my favorite. Zaythoven proved he can make an unique and interesting beat and well.. weezy kills it. 18. Enrique Iglesias ft. Wisin - Duele El Corazon When I listen to this song I close my eyes and pretend to be in Spain at a beach party. Again I don't really know what all of it is about but d--- this sounds so great this time of year. 17. Rihanna - Love On The Brain The beginning of the chorus literally gave me goosebumps. She proves again she has the voice of an angel with this song. This is different from her dance or club tracks, but she can do everything and make it sound amazing. 'I'm fistfighting with fire, just to get close to you' >> 16. YG ft. Lil Wayne - I Got A Question YG's follow up to My Krazy Life has been a treat. It's modern west coast music at it's best. I could have picked almost any other song on the album, but I chose this one because I love Wayne's guest verse. YG is great on almost every track. 15. Kygo ft. Kodaline Again, a difficult choice. Kygo's official debut album 'Cloud Nine' is such a great album for the summer. A lot of great artists are on it and to me every song sounds great in their own way. If you like this song you should definitely check out the project. 14. Anderson Paak - Get Down I could copy past this a lot because again, this album is filled with gems. The vibe of this song though >>> Anderson already shined on 'Compton', and he continued that with this release. 13. Kesha - True Colors When I thought of Kesha, I always pictured the slutty girl from 'Tik Tok'. There were a handful of party songs I liked, for example 'All That Matters' .Then the whole manager s--- happened and she didn't release music for a while. Until this. This song sounds so powerful even though the lyrics aren't THAT impressive, I love this. A certain rapper from Detroit should take notes how to make an inspirational song without being corny.
