seeing future and tip about to drop and Jay teasing a power 105 announcement reminds me of the rap summers 07-2016

or also the concept of niggas running summers, Drake kinda feels like he ran 2015 summer, Kanye and Ross in 2010

What's some of y'all favorite summer rap moments or rappers who dominated a summer?

when this s*** dropped

@666

2011 YG 4hunnid degrees, Dom kennedy yellow album and Kendrick section 80 + frank

2012 Kanye cruel summer + all good music releases and meek mill dreamchasers 2 + the weekend tales

2013 2chainz, Drake and Travis owl

Those are prob top 3 off top of my head

Most recent is obv NLU 2024 and GNX 2025

Never forget

Kinda on Drake 2015 is bonkers lol

Cozy tapes and uzi dropping to wrap up summer 2017

Kevin Abstract MTV1987 is still one of my favorite rollouts in music that I remember. Still haven't seen someone make an album experience feel like that again.

it was really put together but still felt very freeform and expressive.

great album

I haven't listened in so long but I remember the first time I heard "Drugs"

Its funny watching the video now..because this is like a super normal concept for someone to do in 2026. But in 2014 not so much lol.

And Romil was killing them beats..Sidenote: I wish Romil would produce for some of the newer rappers out now I think it would really benefit the genre.

Can’t really beat 2007 summer…hits for every subgenre of rap and that’s when the dance s*** started peaking. Probably the most “together” time in all of hiphop. same summer we had all those Khaled/rap remixes

June 2013 when we got Kanye and big krit and curren$y and I was walking around college jamming man

Carter 3 summer also a great time.

Playing Highschool football while Watch The Throne was getting rolled out/released was pretty incredible.

summer 2013

first time i got to experience an album literally taking over the world.

Twas really crazy
