It’s incredible to see Earl Sweatshirt completely reject popular hip hop music. After her solo album, Doris, she seemed to be considered the next big star in hip-hop. But, over the course of this decade, he’s increasingly rejected that streak, with his music becoming more exotic, experimental, and unique. His latest creative collection comes in the form of Feet of Clay, a 7-song album that clocks in at just under 15 minutes. It is an impressive and short musical composition. And during expressionist rap and R&B, “MTOMB” might be the most approachable — a minute-plus of Alchemist production with a stripped-down 70s funk sample. There aren’t any lyrics outside of a sample of “Pray for the People” floating in the background as Earl sings a verse in his own time, with lyrics like “Guess I’m right, 25 is a quarter of life / I’m there. , I hit, judgment.

Twenty-two-year-old Rico Nasty is a force to be reckoned with. His 2019 album Anger Management (his fourth!) is an unstoppable shot of adrenaline, a release of energy, personality and rapid-fire flow. But, her early summer single “Time Flies” turned down the heat of her sultry style, with a more meditative, near-ballad-esque take on her rise to fame. striking, as he sings, “I live every day like I’m dying through . the night/It took me so long to come back to my senses.”
Young Thug is rare. The rapper occupies an amorphous place in hip-hop and popularity in the late 2010s. His music is a perfect encapsulation of the chart-topping music of his day, but his approach and his voice is his own. And on “The London,” Thug brings in Travis Scott and J. Cole for the hip-hop holy trifecta for a low-key banger.
It was the start of the song Succession with Pusha T that no one expected or knew they needed. Who would have thought that the rich orchestral opening of a tough HBO show would make a perfect hip-hop remix? And, who better to do that than Pusha T, a rapper who has long written about how to aggressively fight your way to the top. Of course, the lyrics aren’t his most obscure work – a list of themes from the series such as, Family, Wealth, Envy, Jealousy – but the overall package is too perfect for the game to be of Pusha T and Succession fans. It’s the kind of song that Kendall Roy wishes someone like Pusha would do for his family, but will never be part of the show’s storyline. But, in our world, where Succession is the best show on TV, this is the perfect intersection of an HBO Shakespearean drama about a Murdoch-type family and half of the Clipse.

Perhaps no song defines 2019 better than Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road.” Like the wordsmiths we’ve become, Old Town Road brings together rap stars who are known, Billy Ray Cyrus, and a comic about Billboard’s genre distinction that turns into a conversation about race, hip-hop, and the true nature of country music. When Billboard refused to classify the song as country music, Billy Ray Cyrus surprisingly stepped in to sing a remix of the song, elevating it to something meme-owners never dreamed of. just the internet.

The story of how Megan Thee Stallion got started is the perfect analogy for one of hip-hop’s up and coming stars. “One day I was at this party, and these guys were wearing loose clothes and they were like, I can rap, and they were like, No, you can’t,” he told The Fader. . Then he went to them and dropped a few bars. “It’s like Oh! So everyone at school knew me as Thee Stallion. And he could rap.” This is how legends are born.
