I do put Carti up there because of the Kendrick stimulus really leveled Carti up

Malice

Gotta be Clipse

Malice was the best rapper this year

I wish Tyler would stop creating tbh

Carti Tyler and YoungBoy for the Cerberus

It’s funny when you think about the wide clamoring for the next undeniable “guy” of the genre, cause it’s really people asking for one person who can touch pretty much all three of those specific bases

Was on the phone w/ lil uzi vert
He talmbout, 🤳🏽‘nine you the goat’

this is MVP for discord groomers and guys who type W in twitch chats

Drake

Lil Baby’s tape was better than his album

the youth literally cant read lmao

Headlines is a great example of doing this with one song; it’s touching different lanes stylistically, lyrically, vocally and compositionally speaking

Once they sound-out this post, you're toast, man.

Carti had the best album, followed by Clipse. YB and Herbo had SOTY contenders with shot callin and went legit

Lil Baby >>>>

I forgot Playboi carti dropped this year lol
Horrible list tho

That may be true but they still like what they like. Instead of us being oldheads and pissed off about it we just gotta embrace it

It's not really a list, just a few examples of artists who people think had great years in 2025. It wasn't meant to be a list to choose from, I said that in the OP

SEEYUHH

Nah.

What do you have against Carti man lol

Besides him being a legitimate horrible human being that uses AI on his projects?
