Verse of The Year

Jay-Z

You wanna know what's more important than throwin' away money at a strip club? Credit

You ever wonder why Jewish people own all the property in America? This how they did it

Financial freedom my only hope

Fuck livin' rich and dyin' broke

I bought some artwork for one million

Two years later, that shit worth two million

Few years later, that shit worth eight million

I can't wait to give this shit to my children

Y'all think it's bougie, I'm like, it's fine

But I'm tryin' to give you a million dollars worth of game for nine ninety-nine

I turned that two to a four, four to an eight

I turned my life into a nice first week release date, mm

Y'all out here still takin' advances, huh?

Me and my niggas takin' real chances, uh

Y'all on the 'gram holdin' money to your ear

There's a disconnect, we don't call that money over here, yeah

I swear if y'all nominate cardi b or tekashi69

 

[Turfaholic]

I swear if y'all nominate cardi b or tekashi69

I nominated Cardi on the strength of the come up. As many female reality stars we see that claim to be artist, Cardi was nominated for a Grammy. No album dropped and she's in the race with the likes of Kendrick, Hov, Killer Mike, & Big Boi. I respect it. I want to see the little bitch win.

That thread has like 4/5 pages with most of the reason posters contributing to it so I figured I'd use that as opposed to doing a whole new thing.

All my people on The Coast that bang are blue rag.. It's natural I got hella love.. but yo did you hear the Perico project with Jay Worthy and Cardo.. that shit so hard and production is crazy... the only reason I omitted it from my list is because it's only 22 minutes..

2 The Left drops next week. Perico gotta keep that momentum going. We'll see if he's able to eventually get to a YG level
