their bad and booty song wasnt even good

[Sixty_9]

come on bro... one bad apple shouldn't make the entire basket bad you know.
I'm just surprised I didn't see more of Future. He's been incredible.

Migos tho, they're quite the sensation now!

[Thelonious Monkey]

Best Male Hip-Hop Artist

Big Sean
Chance the Rapper
Drake
Future
J. Cole
Kendrick Lamar

This list would actually be alright if they replaced Big Sean with Danny Brown.

agreed but i just think Wiley deserves the recognition for what he has done with the scene. not only that but Skepta blew up through "americanizing" his sound to some extent. Wiley stuck to his roots and still won over a lot of new fans.


i appreciate what skepta has done for the genre in saying that. i just think Wiley is more deserving for my own personal biases.
