Music/RadioRe: Rap Power Rankings 2015 by yungryce(op): 7:32am On Dec 22, 2015
#7 Eminem

Change From Last Month: Not ranked last month. Total Points This Year: 16 Overall Rank This Year: #9


This month, Em announced that he’s investing in lyric-annotating site Genius, an announcement that came paired with a promise that he’d be personally breaking down his lyrics. Fans pored over those breakdowns like they were long lost religious texts, a fan base that apparently includes Aziz Ansari, who made some Eminem lyrics the centerpiece of an episode of his new hit show, Master of None. When you create work as complex as Slim Shady, you flex your power even years after you first created that work.

#8 Tech N9ne

Change From Last Month: Not ranked last month. Total Points This Year: 12 Overall Rank This Year: #12


This month Tech continued his nearly inhuman grind by releasing his Strangeulation Vol. II album, a project that both added to his personal discography and showcased the artists on his Strange Music label. Strange may get treated by much of the mainstream as an “underground” label, but the simple truth is they’re outselling most major labels, and doing it by simply releasing better music than most major labels. You simply can’t talk about hip-hop in 2015 without talking about Tech N9ne, and you can’t talk about November without talking about Tech N9ne. He won’t be underestimated for long.


#9 Meek Mill

Change From Last Month: Not ranked last month. Total Points This Year: 12 Overall Rank This Year: #10


A lot of people were quick to bury Meek Mill’s career after Drake inarguably beat him during their “beef,” but someone forgot to tell Meek that he should stop rapping. This month, he dropped his new video to “Lord Knows” and it turns out that when people just focus on his music, they really like that music. The nearly two million people who have watched “Lord Knows” are certainly still interested in what Meek has to say, and so maybe Drake didn’t do as much damage as we assumed. Lord only knows how big he could have been this year without that beef, but right here, right now, Meek’s career is far from over. In some ways, it feels like it’s just getting started.


#10 Vince Staples

Change From Last Month: Not ranked last month. Total Points This Year: 8 Overall Rank This Year: #14


Vince Staples’ Summertime ’06 album is the reason he’ll go down in 2015’s history books, but the reasons he’s emerged as a rap power to be reckoned with this year extend far past just his music. Staples has routinely shown himself to be one of the most thought-provoking and quotable rappers around, traits that made him both the centerpiece of debate after he said that he wasn’t particularly enamored with ’90s hip-hop and showed more people that his is a voice worth listening to. And don’t get it twisted: he’s not silent on the music front, either, as he’s currently in the midst of opening for A$AP Rocky’s national tour. Whether he’s in front of a studio mic or an interview mic, Staples just can’t be ignored these days. Now that’s power.

#4 Kanye West

Change From Last Month: -2 Total Points This Year: 60 Overall Rank This Year: #3


Kanye West released precisely no new music this month and was still one of the most talked-about rappers alive. For the anniversary of his classic MBDTF album, the internet gave itself over to revisiting the work, which means Kanye had one of the month’s most listened-to and talked-about albums, even though it was years old. Plus, in his “Black Friday” song, Kendrick repeatedly shouted out Kanye and endorsed his quasi-presidency. Now just imagine what would happen if he actually released that album we’ve been waiting all year for…


#5 J. Cole

Change From Last Month: Not ranked last month Total Points This Year: 27 Overall Rank This Year: #5



In January, he was still riding the wave of success from his 2014 Forest Hills Drive album, but as 2015 progressed he became quieter.
Until this month. First, he was one of the few producers to be officially chosen to remix a Tribe Called Quest’s “Can I Kick It,” a huge honor for any hip-hop producer. Second, he traded beats with Kendrick for their aforementioned “Black Friday” releases, once again ensuring that his name belongs in any conversation about the Best Rappers Alive This Year. The fact that Cole’s still so high in these rankings while having released such little music is proof that he’s mastered the balance of quality over quantity.


#6 Drake

Change From Last Month: -5 Total Points This Year: 89 Overall Rank This Year: #1


For most rappers a number six spot in the Rankings would be a huge accomplishment, but for Drake it represents a downfall. For nearly every month this year he’s been in the top three, and most often holding down the number one spot.
But November was an unusually quiet month for Drizzy. No new music, no new music videos—the biggest headline he was involved in was when CNN falsely reported that he had died in a car accident. Still, if this year’s taught us anything, it’s that Drake’s capable of going from 0-100 in a matter of minutes. All it takes is one song, one Instagram post, one remix with Adele, and he’s right back on top. Your move, Aubrey Graham.
Music/RadioRap Power Rankings 2015 by yungryce(op):
As long as there’s been hip-hop, rappers have been trying to prove they’re the best. In the same way ESPN keeps a running Power Rankings, every month we survey the hip-hop landscape and rank the ten artists making the most powerful moves. The first-place getter gets 10 points; the last-place getter gets only one. Frankly, our exact formula’s a secret—a complicated secret, and it has to be complicated. Sports is a pure numbers game, but music is about so much more.
We’re in the homestretch of 2015 and the battle to claim the top spots are more heated than ever. After spending the last few months gaining ground, this month Drake took his foot off the gas, opening the door for a 4TH quarter Kendrick Lamar comeback. Who will end up taking home the 2015 crown? The race is on.


#1 Kendrick Lamar

change From Last Month: + 3 spots Total Points This Year: 80 Overall Rank This Year: #2



Don’t call it a comeback. For the last few months Kendrick has slowly but surely fallen behind Drake for the number one spot in the Rankings, but this month he came back strong while Drizzy fell back. First, rumors circulated that Kendrick would retire from performing his TPAB album soon because “We did that album for people who can’t even afford to go to shows,” further driving home the point that Kendrick and TPAB were simply on another level. And then, at the end of the month, K. Dot teamed up with J. Coe for a Black Friday release where he rapped circles around the game. Watch out Drake, Kendrick might just grab the year’s Most Powerful crown after all.


#2 Future

Change From Last Month: +4 Total Points This Year: 43 Overall Rank This Year: #4


After a slow start to year, the second half of 2015 has been month after month of Future’s lighting up headlines and blowing up headphones. He whetted fans’ appetites by saying he has more than 10 new projects ready to go (including Monster 2), and he already released four new songs featuring his auto-tuned croon, most notably “One Helluva Night” and a collab with Jeremih and Big Sean, “Royalty.” When the year comes to a close Future Hendrix might not be on the top of the top, but there’s no doubting who deserves 2015’s Most Improved award.


#3 Rick Ross

Change From Last Month: +4 Total Points This Year: 14 Overall Rank This Year: #9


After a nearly silent start to 2015, the four quarter has found the Bawse putting up some serious points on the board. With an upcoming album to promote, he’s been making the media rounds, pumping out memorable interview after memorable interview, and releasing new music like his Renzel Remixes mixtape and the lush album single “Crocodile Python.” It’s too little too late to really make his mark on the entire year, but don’t sleep on Ross—if his Black Market album really hits, he could easily end up owning the end of this year.

Music/RadioThe Biggest 2015 Albums That Didn’t Actually Drop by yungryce(op):
It's December, which means that the entire internet is in the midst of pouring over the year like Bunk and McNulty investigating a crime scene. But how come we never look at the year that wasn’t? After all, often what didn't happen can be more important than what did.
Just like New Year resolutions that we finally have to admit we failed to do come December (I totally meant to take that pottery class), it’s kind of a trip to look back and see how we though the year was going to shape up so we can see how wrong we really were, measure our expectations versus reality. 2015 was a great year for that.


Kanye West - So Help Me God/Swish
“ I’M CHANGING MY ALBUM NAME TO SWISH - KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) May 3, 2015

Among the rants, the interviews, the shoes, the clothes and the memes, it always feels like Kanye is making an impact on the culture, yet in 2015 he dropped more babies than albums.
After releasing “Only One” on New Years eve, "FourFiveseconds" just a few weeks later, and performing "Wolves" under his bedsheet fort on SNL, it looked like Yeezy season was in full effect. Capping things off, he dropped “ All Day” and it was lit like a menorah. The release of his next album So Help Me God was a foregone conclusion. It wasn't a matter of if, but when.
Then Yeezy season turned into a months-long debacle that was filled with everything but actual music.
First, he had the name change. Swish?! What is that? If this was a Steph Curry album or a musical based on NBA Jam I’d be cool with it, but how do you go from College Dropout to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy to Swish?
Making matter worse, it really seemed like Kanye had absolutely zero idea what was happening with the album. That was the biggest shock. Everything Kanye does has historically been perfectly coordinated and planned out. The So Help Me God/Swish timeline felt like the first time in his career he didn’t know what to do; there was seemingly no larger plan being carried out. Still, we all held out hope. I know I did. After all, Kanye can’t be judged on a single here or loosie there.
Sadly, we never got that chance and the 2015 Swish story ended with him telling us he doesn’t give a damn about music and would finish it sometime between now and when he dies. Awesome. We went from him releasing two songs in one month, to him giving Swish one giant “Meh.” We cared about this album so much, only to learn Kanye doesn’t care at all. Making matters worse, someone would always chime in, telling us how amazing it was, how soon it’s coming. Only, it never ever did. It went from being one of the biggest albums of the year to the biggest question mark of the year.
Of all the albums that weren’t, I think Kanye may have taken the biggest L. Of course, all will be forgiven when the album does drop and it's amazing, but there's just not getting around the fact that on a purely musical basis, 2015 was a very subpar year for Yeezy.


Lil Wayne - Tha Carter V
“ TO ALL MY FANS, I WANT U TO KNOW THAT MY ALBUM WON'T AND HASN'T BEEN RELEASED BEKUZ BABY & CASH MONEY REC. REFUSE TO RELEASE IT - Lil Wayne WEEZY F (@LilTunechi) December 4, 2014

We were supposed to get Tha Carter V in 2014, so when it didn’t come out, we all kind of just assumed 2015 would be the year we got the fifth and final Carter. Sure, Lil Wayne tweeted in December of 2014 about wanting off the label, but how many times have we seen artists take to Twitter, bitch about their label and then go right back to business? Plus, Weezy and Birdman are family. There’s no way they would fight or too long. They would kiss (again) and make up, Tha Carter V would be released, and everyone would be happy. Sorry For The Wait 2 was an appetizer, something to hold us over until the album was ready and the family squabble was deaded.
Then shit got really real and Birdman was indicted for trying to kill Lil Wayne. This whole year has been about
Cash Money for me, some of the biggest stories we have done are about how shady the label is, but I never expected Birdman to try to kill his “son.” Think about that for a second. No lawsuit, no rap beef, Birdman allegedly wanted Wayne dead. Gone. Finished. Probably so he could release Tha Carter V and make a killing (break out the tinfoil hats). We got two more mixtapes from Wayne, but truthfully, with how things went down this year, I don’t know if we will ever get Tha Carter V.
We started the year expecting Tha Carter V and left with Birdman trying to kill Wayne. I don’t think any album fell that far that quickly. Kanye’s non-album was a blunder, but at least it didn’t involve an assassination plot.


Drake - Views From The Six

Drake was the most streamed artist on the planet, his DJBooth review is the most popular piece on DJBooth this year, and he now has more number ones than The Beatles. If you had told me that at the beginning of the year I would have assumed Views From The 6 had dropped, but Drake did it all without the actual album.
I’m not the biggest Drake fan, but that’s pretty amazing when you think about it. The projects we got weren't the ones we expected, or even really knew existed before their release, but they were both blockbusters. I wonder if he had planned to drop both Views and IYRTITL, but once he saw how well IYRTITL was doing, pushed Views back (break out that tin foil hat again). It’s pretty crazy to think about how Drake dominated the year and did it all without what is arguably the biggest album of his career.


Frank Ocean - Boys Don't Cry
“ DAY 24: NO SIGN OF FRANK OCEAN DROPPING THE NEW ALBUM, WATER IS SCARCE, FOOD IS LIMITED - Super_Duper_Adam (@Martinez11Adam) July 24, 2015

I feel like an asshole. I just threw jabs at Kanye for being open and honest about not particularly caring about his album, but looking at Frank Ocean’s album that wasn’t, it makes me appreciate Kanye. At least he said something. Frank Ocean basically acted like 2015 never happened. First, there was that time in May, when he created an empty playlist on his Soundcloud . Naturally, the internet was bugging out - was this the album!?! - only to have him delete the playlist a little bit later. He never said a word. Never tweeted. He just deleted it and went on about his day.
Luckily we wouldn’t have to wait long because Billboard confirmed the release of the album in July and as anyone knows, anything that's confirmed is definitely, totally happening.
Oh what? You mean to tell me Frank didn’t drop the confirmed album? Color me shocked! But it was “confirmed”! How? Because Frank Ocean that’s how. Dude is on his own planet.
Frank fooled a lot of you, I’m just glad I know him well enough to know that album was never coming. Here we are in December and still no album. Still no word from Frank either. I’d think twice before putting his album on your 2016 lists. You know when Adele, the singer who ghosted for three years, is on you about your release schedule, you are f.uckig up.


Isaiah Rashad - Mysterious Untitled Album
“ JUST TURNED IN THIS PROJECT TO @DANGEROOKIPAWAA .. LOOK LIKE WE MIGHT BE JAMMIN OUT IN A MINUTE HUH..
— billy batson (@isaiahrashad) August 31, 2015

I thought Isaiah Rashad’s album was a fitting one to end on because it speaks to the human condition of fandom. Fans of Rashad, like myself, have been looking forward to the follow up to Cilvia EP for a long, long, long, long long, long, long time. It was all quiet on the Zaywop front until August when Isaiah tweeted that the album was turned in. He followed that up with the release of “ Nelly,” and when Top Dawg’s head honcho casually confirmed we’d be getting new Isaiah in 2015, it seemed like a forgone conclusion. Who cares that he never explicitly said the album would drop? “new Isaiah” meant “that album we’ve been dying for” and you can’t tell us "Rasheads" anything.
Well, here we are with three weeks left in 2015 and I refuse to give up hope. I should look at Frank, Kanye, Wayne, and Drake and realize that nothing is ever set in stone unless it’s actually happening in that moment, I should be laughing at “confirmed” for Zay like I did for Frank Ocean, but fandom is irrational. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, despite TDE’s “interesting” release history, I can’t help but feel like in two or three weeks time this project is in fact dropping. I’m not going to be mad if it doesn’t, I’m in a good place with my Rashad standom, but it'll still sting a bit to watch an entire year go by without a new album.

Honorable Mention: Detox & Act II

I feel like I shouldn't even have to address these two albums, but some of you are delusional and actually thought these two albums actually existed and even worse, actually thought we would get them this year.
Detox is now officially dead and Act II is a vegetable clinging to life but the family refuses to pull the plug. We will never get either of these two albums. Ever. Period. To the people who thought these would actually drop in 2015, this gif is for you.
This business moves a mile a minute, things change at the drop of the hat, and there’s so many moving parts to an album. It’s not nearly as clear cut as this album is done and now it’s released. I think as fans, bloggers and music nerds we can forget about that and we certainly take it personally when things don’t go our way. Looking back on 2015, it shows just how murky it can get and how foolish it is we take announcements, tweets, and singles as a sign of certainty. You would think we would learn, but I guarantee when those most anticipated albums of 2016 articles come out we will all work ourselves into a tizzy. Years change, fans don't.
Take everything you hear with a grain of salt. About that Isaiah Rashad album though...
