I understand that some people only cared about Spotify Wrapped 2021 the day (and maybe day after) it dropped. That being said, I still care. Elliott Smith was my top artist but sixty-four of my Top 100 Songs on Spotify were rap. As the Assistant Underground Music Director, this makes sense. Which rap songs you may ask? I’m not going to list all of them, but here are some favorites:
- “Baby I’m Bleeding” by JPEGMAFIA
- “New Slaves” by Kanye West
- “Just How It Is” by Young Thug
- “girls like drugs” by Paris Texas
- “EAST” by Earl Sweatshirt
- “Ghost (In the Shell)” by MAVI
- “Throw Dem Gunz” by Lil Ugly Mane
- “Campbell” by redveil
- “Primma Donna” by Vince Staples (feat. A$AP Rocky)
- “Please Forgive” by Powers Pleasant (feat. Denzel Curry, IDK, Zombie Juice & Zillakami)
- “Jailbreak the Tesla” Injury Reserve (feat. Aminé)
Here’s to rap music being the most transformative and flexible genre,
