2016 RAP REPORT CARD
Hip-hop has truly been on a hot streak the last couple years, or at least it feels like it. Seemingly every month, there’s at least one new project that has everyone buzzing and listening. Looking at the big picture, established top dogs (Drake, J. Cole, Kanye, Kendrick) have maintained their status at the forefront of the genre while new waves of fresh talent (Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert, DJ Khaled, just kidding) have emerged and made impacts. 2016 picked right up where 2015 left off, with a multitude of rappers dropping either their career-best work (sorry Drake), something CLOSE to their career-best work (ehh still sorry), or at least an overlong mishmash of self-parody that was huge on pop radio and broke a bunch of streaming records (Drake!). After such an action-packed year, there’s much fun stuff to look back upon. Let's dish out some final grades!
(Note- these grades are meant to encompass everything the artist did in 2016 to affect their status in hip-hop and culture at large.)

“RELEVANCE WAS FUN WHILE IT LASTED” DIVISION
Macklemore: C+
Wiz Khalifa: C-
(Macklemore and Wiz together in the studio)
Macklemore: “I don’t get it Wiz. My last album had 4 hit singles, went platinum, won the Grammy for best rap album over good kid, m.A.A.d city, and I’m white. I applied the same extreme-silliness-mixed-with-extreme-earnestness formula to this album. Where was all the attention for me this time?”
Wiz (as he smokes a 1/2-ounce blunt): “Well you see the trick, Mack, is just to get so high every goddamn day that you start not to give a shit about all that.”
Macklemore: (nods)
Wiz: “And then,” [takes another hit] “because your core fan base is also just so high all the time, like you are, every shitty project that you put out will just seem like a masterpiece. Hahahaha.”
Macklemore: “Pass me that blunt.”

“YOU’RE STILL COOL BUT YOUR MUSIC HAS GOTTEN LOW-KEY KINDA BORING” DIVISION
J. Cole: B+
Kendrick Lamar: B-
After pretty much transforming into the jazz-musician version of a civil rights leader on last year’s To Pimp a Butterfly, I was glad to hear most of Kendrick’s Untitled Unmastered leftovers album sounded more like the Kendrick I used to know and love. Also a sign of relief was the fact that he didn’t abandon doing guest verses this year, providing some breezy fun on his collaborations with Kanye, Travis Scott, The Weeknd, and even freaking Sia. Still, looking forward, it’s frighteningly unclear if Kendrick will ever make another album that is as easily adored by the masses as good kid, m.A.A.d city or even Section.80 was. I can easily see him making another couple creative masterpieces that are adored by critics and fans alike and eventually going down as the greatest rapper of all time, but I could just as easily see him continue to push away sounding anything resembling relatable hip-hop until eventually his music is just spoken-word poetry over a bass line. To be determined!
Meanwhile, J. Cole followed up his universally beloved 2014 Forest Hills Drive with the most J. Cole-ish J. Cole album that could ever be J. Cole-d. That’s either a good thing or a bad thing depending on your view of him over the years. As for me, 4 Your Eyez Only had its moments, but on the whole was a return to him being the socially conscious but frustratingly dull rapper he was pre-Forest Hills Drive. My brain tells me I should really appreciate a feature-less concept album about the heart-wrenching story of a young man with a daughter who tragically dies too soon, but my ears tell me, “Please put on something else that doesn’t remind me of a lecture on economic inequality.” Good thing Cole has the most devoted fans in all of rap, though- would you believe me if I told you that 4 Your Eyez Only, a surprise release that had nothing on it that was close a radio hit, had more first-week sales than The Weeknd’s Starboy? In fact, he finished with the 3rd-highest sales week of the year, behind only Drake and Beyonce! Cole will be fine.

“DEAR GOD IS THIS THE FUTURE OF HIP-HOP?” DIVISION
When the Special ED classroom gets turnt up
Lil Uzi Vert: B+
21 Savage: B
Desiigner: C+
Lil Yachty: F
I had a terrifying thought occur to me one moment after embarking on a quick Spotify tour through the most popular offerings of this…um, special freshman class. As I sat through the mindless squealing of Uzi Vert, the dreary grumbling of 21 Savage, and finally the atrocity that is Lil Yachty’s “Minnesota,” it occurred to me…what if this is the turning point where I start to not enjoy new rap? Is this the part where I become that old guy who doesn’t understand the kids anymore?? My god, how did it turn on me so fast!?!?
Thankfully since then, I’ve warmed up to a few (but not all) Uzi songs and concluded that 21’s “X” is pretty dope (thanks to Metro Boomin). And even though I couldn’t get through half of Desiigner’s debut mixtape because I felt like my brain cells were dying, I quite enjoyed “Panda” and “Timmy Turner.” But seriously, compare Kendrick and J. Cole’s music to these new guys and it feels like it’s from a past era of hip-hop that’s already dead. What’s it gonna be like in the future when these new guys turn into the “old” ones??
Whatever happens, this group does deserve credit for carving out their own unique sounds and establishing a following this year, and it’ll be intriguing to watch their careers unfold. At the very least we know that they can be a solid source of internet jokes.

“CAREER REVIVED BY INTERNET/SNAPCHAT” DIVISION
DJ Khaled: A+++
Rae Sremmurd: B-
I’m pretty sure “Black Beatles” is not even like the 4th-best song on Sremmurd's SremmLife 2, but thanks to something as dumb as the #MannequinChallenge, it got noticed and rose all the way to #1 on the US charts and saved this comical duo from falling off the map. Also, where would Migos’ “Bad and Boujee” be right now without the assist of internet memes/jokes? Definitely not the #1 song in America. Does this mean I could do something random like set Young Thug’s “Harambe” to a bunch of funny gorilla videos, put them on Twitter and hope other people join in and make it a thing, and then “Harambe” would go #1 and start getting played on the radio? Cuz that’s what that song deserves.
As for DJ Khaled…just WOW. Where do I begin? The mind-blowing way this man can make chants like “WE DA BEST MUZIK” and “ANOTHER ONE” cut deep into your soul makes him one of the most valuable artists that hip-hop- scratch that, LIFE- has ever witnessed. Honestly, I wish Khaled’s songs had no features so my ears could just fully take in his immaculate lyricism without having any dumb “rapping” and “singing” interfere. I didn’t know what inspiration truly was until I heard DJ Khaled proclaim on Snapchat, “THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO WIN.” I didn’t know who not to play until DJ Khaled declared, “DON’T EVER PLAY YOURSELF.” I had no idea what a major key was until DJ Khaled alerted me of them. There’s not a grade on the scale I can give that is high enough for the gift to music that is DJ Khaled.

“IGNORANT BANGERS ONLY” DIVISION
Future: “Ay Meek.”
Meek Mill: “Wassup.”
Future: “I’m just curious…after Drake went at you on “Back To Back,” why didn’t you fire back at him using the beat to “On The Regular”, “Blessed Up”, or any other beat that was on yo fire DC4 tape?”
Meek Mill: “Well you see, Fewtch, after my album dropped last year, it was my mission all along to take an L in the biggest way possible.”
Future: “Ah.”
Meek Mill: “Wassup.”

ScHoolboy Q: B+
YG: B+
These gangsters deserve better. The only thing holding them back from receiving grades in the ‘A’ range from me is the fact that nobody outside their established fanbases (or anybody who isn’t a rap nerd) seems to appreciate that Still Brazy and Blank Face were two of the best albums to come out in 2016. The only songs from these two that got marginal attention from the outside world this year were YG’s “Why You Always Hatin” (featuring Drake, shocker) and ScHoolboy’s “THat Part” (featuring two instances of Kanye yelling “Chipotle!”). If “Panda” can go #1 and get overplayed by mainstream pop stations, is it too much to ask that something as cool as ScHoolboy’s “JoHn Muir” or YG’s “Twist My Fingaz” gets some love too? At the end of the day, I love and respect anyone who agrees that Still Brazy is a G-funk masterpiece and that Blank Face is some sort of miraculous psychedelic-gangsta rap fusion.

Travis: “STRAIGHT UP!”
Travis Scott: A-
Young Thug: B+
I’ve been on the Young Thug bandwagon for years, so it was nice that I got marginally more company to join me this year. There’s really no rational reasoning I can give to why a ratchet weirdo who barely speaks English is one of the most exciting rappers in the game right now, besides the fact that he just is.
Meanwhile, Travis continues to make some of the coolest-sounding trap music around. Who needs lyricism when you have these two lovable turn-up clowns?

“LONELY AT THE TOP OF THE CN TOWER” DIVISION
Drake: A-
Canada’s golden child had the most anticipated album of the year, broke numerous streaming records upon its release, took the internet by storm, dominated radio, and became the most popular artist in all of music…I’m pretty much legally obligated to give his 2016 a high grade. I liked a lot of songs on Views- “One Dance,” “Controlla,” and “Too Good” are probably the finest pop hits of Drake’s career, and “Hype” and “Still Here” are definitely keepers. However, if we’re discussing Drake as an artist, it just bothers me that the album that got this amount of crazy attention is pretty much a half-assed rehash of his past work for the vast majority of its way-too-long running time. Look, I have zero problems with the idea of making a diverse, mainstream-oriented hip-hop album that has rapping, introspective singing, and some catchy pop songs, which is what Views has (just with a lot of laughable lyrics). What I do have a problem with is building up more than a year’s worth of huge hype for this blockbuster event, have everybody expecting to hear a creative game-changer (including having every die-hard fan convinced that this would be his “classic” album, HA!), and instead end up giving us just a cloudier, watered-down, more boring version of Take Care.
The thing is, Drake made it harder on himself than it had to be. As you may remember, on a cold February night back in 2015, the 6 God unleashed If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late unto the world with no warning and everyone lost their collective mind. That project had it all- icy bangers that were instantly quotable (“RUNNIN, THRU THE, 6…”), odes to relationship woes, a heartfelt song dedicated to his mom, and another with Travis Scott dedicated to a stripper. You know, basically everything you could want out of a Drake project. It’s really an incredible album, and most people recognized it as such. For rap fans that weren’t into his gooey R&B stuff on Take Care and Nothing Was The Same, this was the album that changed their perspective and convinced them that he rightfully belonged at the top. But that's the thing- Drake didn’t think of If You’re Reading as a proper album. From the way he talked about it in interviews, his message was more or less, “Oh that mixtape I just dropped out of the blue? That was nothing big, just me fooling around having some fun in the studio. We’re still working on the REAL album- Views From The 6 comin soon!” This got everyone justifiably pumped for what was coming, but created expectations that were impossibly high.
Even though he’s technically more popular than ever before, I think Drake realizes that most of the rap community is disappointed with what they heard in Views. Still, no rapper is more adept than him at staying relevant year-round; and what do you know, in October we were treated to three new songs and an announcement of a new project that’s coming soon! It’s a given we’ll all be eagerly awaiting it’s release. Here’s to hoping More Life follows in the footsteps of If You’re Reading and is something unique and new from Drake, not redundant.

“ULTRALIGHT BEAM TO HEAVEN” DIVISION
Chance the Rapper: A
Kanye West: A-
The insane build-up to The Life of Pablo was a weeks-long spectacle that could only be attributed to Kanye- Twitter freakouts that made everyone question whether he is mentally stable, a revolving door of album titles and altered tracklists, and the release of the album being turned into a literal event at Madison Square Garden that people across the country could even watch in movie theaters. WTF!? Not to mention sending everyone scrambling to start free trials of TIDAL they’d never end up paying for. At the end of all the nonsense, I’m just happy that TLOP turned out to be pretty damn good. It’s an ungodly messy, incohesive project with its fair share of baffling lyrics, but there’s a special kind of zany energy about it throughout that somehow holds it all together. Taking into account the frazzled state of mind Kanye seems to be in these days, I'd like to think it was made to be this unhinged and chaotic on purpose. Due to this, TLOP isn’t close to the masterful artistic quality of Kanye’s first five albums and Watch The Throne…but what is? Yeezus Christ has already done enough to prove that he is one of the greatest artists of his time- nearing 40 years old, anything else good that we get from him is a welcome bonus.
Which brings us to the champion of the 2016 Rap Report Card…Lil Chano!

Being the all-time attention whore that Kanye is, I think it’s meaningful that after the majestic opening gospel moments of “Ultralight Beam,” he cedes the first verse on the entire album to Chance (who of course kills it). Is it a passing of the torch moment? I don’t know, but I can confidently state that I think Chance is the most vital artist in hip-hop right now. Merely calling him a rapper is almost an insult- the man brings so much infectious joy and warmth to his music that it almost sounds like a different genre. Coloring Book has a guest list that any rap album would envy- Kanye, 2 Chainz, Lil Wayne, Jeremih, D.R.A.M., Young Thug, Lil Yachty, Future, T-Pain, Ty Dolla $ign, and more- yet Chance has such a unique and overwhelming presence throughout the album that you barely even notice. Listening to Coloring Book is like going on a nostalgic time-travel trip to your childhood; it’s like going to church and cleansing yourself of all sin; it’s like the sonic equivalent of happiness and hope. Did I mention Chance isn’t signed to a label and he releases all his music for free? This guy is just all about the joy of living life. And if he can make me enjoy a song that has Lil Yachty on it, the sky is really the limit for him. You don’t want no problem want no problem with meeee…
