2013 seems like it was here and gone in a flash but it was
not without its fair share of great hip-hop. Certain artists really made waves
this year, but none more than artists like: Pusha-T, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and
Jay-Z.
I would have to say that Pusha T had the most incredible
year, and really surprised me with his lyric content growth from the time of
the Clipse. His album had some really good jams, and a decent mix of rappers;
especially, rappers that Pusha can hit way harder than (2- chainz and Big
Sean). Eminem made history with his
album, Marshall Mathers LP2, making it his 6th straight #1 album! A
lot of people hated on the album, but Eminem really cannot be touched
lyrically. His lyrics were crazy and his delivery was relentless and on-point.
To me, the only thing that really makes a legend in rap is longevity, and this
year Jay-Z, Eminem and Talib Kweli showed us that time doesn’t change much for
amazing artists. Talib came out with two albums within the same year: Prisoner of Conscious and Gravitas; both were really well-made
and had a bunch of banging songs and features. Makes me happy that lyricism can still survive in a time where
beats seem to rule the hip-hop enviroment. If you haven’t already, go check out
some of these artists new stuff and support good music.
