Great call

Is beyonce formation even rap

She's not even really singing on it besides the background vocals in a couple places

I get Bodak Yellow is undeniably one of the biggest rap songs of 2017 but the whole song is grifted from the 2014 Kodak classic, feels a little wrong to put essentially a remix to the originator of that flow/sound as the most important of that year

Follow god for 2019

No way

The lack of Sicko Mode

Kodak's version wasn't memorable or impactful. Bodak Yellow proved that a female rapper besides Nicki could be successful, and that was the start of the renaissance of female rappers that we're currently experiencing.

Wouldn’t 2019 be Suge?

2015 - Antidote
2016 - XO Tour life
2017 - Bank Account
2018 - Sicko Mode
2019 - Old Town Road or Suge
2020 - We Paid or Gooba
2021 - Off the Grid

This song was #1 on the gospel charts for a billion weeks, and it helped win Kanye a gospel Grammy. This song proved that rap can legitimately serve as gospel music.

Though if you have a better suggestion, I'm all ears.

(^^ the music video is more important than the track here ofc)

This take is f***ing insane (at least the first part). I don't deny that the song was the beginning of the post-Nicki wave of female rappers to hit massive mainstream appeal and become a dominating force but No Flockin not memorable??????????????????????? Every line is a f***ing quotable. Look at the views on YT (almost 250mil) and tell me this s*** was not impactful or memorable. Impactful makes even less sense, a woman remade his song and it dominated the charts I would say thats pretty f***ing impactful

OP doesnt know every word to no flockin?

Old town road was #1 on the real charts for a billion weeks

Technically released 2018 (right at the end) but it didn't take off til 2019, Idk how you could talk about Hall of Fame songs and not include the longest #1 single of all time

What impact did it have on the culture though? Bodak Yellow legitimizing women in rap is arguably more impactful than any of the other songs from the past decade.

I'm fine with Old Town Road too considering it introduced Lil Nas and got country into hip-hop.

Edit: So yeah upon further review this is definitely it for 2019.

No flockin is the reason bodak yellow exists

I think humble/dna, bank account, butterfly effect, and magnolia are all better picks for 2017

Legitimizing it? Nicki ran the charts for years??????????? And even though they weren't rappers so many women dominated the Top 100 the whole decade in the pop lane (who frequently crossed over to do rap songs) please add that up for me. It was the big breakout of one of the biggest female rappers today, I still think we would have got to a Meg even without Bodak. I get the sentiment I just don't think you are looking at it musically at all tho. Within rap culture you have a case but the woman rapper wave was gonna come regardless of Cardi, she lucked out already having fame from TV and s*** and got to be first, I don't think she's the one who set it off tho, that still goes to Nicki.
