It’s gotta be Cole for me. Weird to give it to someone that hasn’t released a project this year but he’s been on a special feature run and who else deserves it?

They’ll probably give it to Doja

Veeze

It’s sexyy!!

MIKE

Drake has certainly earned it for this year unless Carti drops (he won’t)

94 being Nas and not Big is crazy btw. Love Illmatic, but RTD is certainly better.

Soulja Boy

Lol at 2019 being DaBaby and 2016 being chance. Besides that though, I ain’t really mad at this list. You could say that Prodigy was the best rapper in 96, but I understand why they went with Pac

He wont get it but its Danny Brown by a mile for me this year

Aubz

2019 was an awful year. I probably would’ve given it to Thug for So Much Fun or Freddie for Bandana

Veeze, Earl, MIKE, Navy Blue, Larry June, Cole

He wont get it but its MIKE by a mile for me this year

Broski if I’m being real it gotta be durkio. Shawty make me wanna move to the raq

This is a good shout. An album, a collab album, and an EP all high quality

Need to start seeing Larry June gettting his props on stuff like this, he dropped 2 really fye projects and had some dope feats this year

kanye

Earl
JPEGMAFIA
DANNY BROWN

The elder statesman outperforming the younger dudes

Cole for me

drake and it's not close

still time for Cole to drop his s*** and stamp it.

if not, Drake of course

Prob ice spice she was poppin off w diff songs all year

Ice Spice, Doja, Drake or Cole
