will's underrated rap songs rankdown - volume 2









it's been over a year since my last hip-hop related rankdown, so i think it's time to change that.

this will be a follow-up to a rankdown i hosted in late 2018 that featured 30 underrated (in my opinion) rap songs.

this time i tried to be stricter & wanted most of these songs to be discoveries, the biggest song here has under 7.5 million streams on spotify.



here is the song list -

24 Deep - Brotha Lynch Hung
Ain't the Devil Happy - Jeru the Damaja
AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted - Ice Cube
B.O.R. (Birth of Rap) - Lil B
Crowns For Kings - Benny the Butcher ft. Black Thought
Elder Grof - DJ Rozwell
Free the Robots - Capital Steez
Fumbling Over Words That Rhyme - Edan
I Like Being - Sybyr
If Tomorrow's Not Here - Denzel Curry ft. Twelve'len
Luv(sic.) - Nujabes ft. Shing02
Murder - UGK
Offence - Little Simz
Oh s**t!!! - Injury Reserve
On the Run - Tommy Wright III ft. K-Roc
One - Ghostface Killah
Players - Slum Village
Prayers - MIKE ft. Medhane
Press Rewind - Del the Funky Homosapien
Ro Talk - R.A.P. Ferreira
Save Me - Chief Keef
Smile 2 - Slauson Malone ft. Maxo
Snort Ashwagandha Root Powder - $ilkMoney
Solace - Earl Sweatshirt
Stay Sane - Pink Siifu
Stepping Into Tomorrow - Madlib
Thirsty Ego Raps - Open Mike Eagle
Throw Away - Future
Turn the Page - The Streets
Why - Organized Konfusion



just like the first rankdown, there are 30 songs to listen to here.

the initial deadline will be - September 4th


if you'd like to participate:

pm me your rankings of these songs with #1 being your favourite and #30 your least favourite.

R.A.P. Ferreira - "RO TALK" (MoD, #3) vs. Miley Cyrus - "Slide Away" (Walt, #6)
"RO TALK" was a nice listen. Not something I'd come back to though.
