Mal like 39. That can't be him. Always thought that was Jay's nephews in there.

The POW Best Rap Songs of 2020

The best rap of the worst year.

www.passionweiss.com

Kind of a frustrating site. Some good recommendations but they amp certain artists that are really nothing special. And compare NBA YoungBoy to like Basquiat or Picasso.

Anyways, curious what you think about the top pick. Certainly, Lil Baby had a big year, but what was bigger than The Box??

“whether you a young thug or OG
My **** ring off on billboard, also the oldies

Just off Tidal this year”

This ***** holding bars in the tuck. Waiting for the Drake hook.

Box was def bigger mainstream wise, but this is a “best” list not most popular

Passion of Weiss lean more underground in general tho so the list not surprising. They’ve been some of, if not the biggest supporters of stuff like Detroit rap and West Coast dudes like Drakeo over the years, scenes that had practically been ignored by the mainstream up until now

Jeff Weiss actually played a big part in bringing attention to Drakeo’s case and the corruption/politics going inside of LA legal system. Bro used all his platforms to write about Drakeo case non stop the entire 3 years he was locked down

 

[Peep Game]

I must be old, Whole Lotta Red is a whole lotta trash

24 tracks and like 19 are mid, that’s why he plans on instantly dropping a deluxe version. Minimal Pi’erre Bourne involvement has Carti looking like Nnamdi in Philly.

 

[CJMcfly26]

Benzino obviously has no friends. Friends don’t let friends do things like this. He already washed up, guess dude like F it! 2021 here I come.

 

[babyface34]

Hope he realizes magazine covers don’t count as his catalog.

 

[jaymosenvied]

See I was rocking with him in that interview but this ***** just went too far

Dude was feeling himself and should have just kept with the jokes

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I don't know why Em gets dudes so emotional. Benzino still mad 20 years later.

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Rest in peace, Shabba Doo.

 

[illphillip]

Benzino gonna try to play “Rock The Party” at least 16 times in that Verzuz.

 

[D StaXX]

Breakin was one of my favorites movies as a kid.

Nah fr

They’ve been doing some of the best music journalism out here for a long time

Jeff refuses to serve ads on the site or take sponsors from corporations tho, so it’s been more of a slower gradual growth for them

I watched electric boogaloo 100+ times as a kid. Everyday after school my uncle would cut it on.
