Best Rapper from Every Year 2010-2020 

Glad to see ant take ice spice for every year

Nothing like watching NFR on a day off from school

13:05 “That’s why i had to edge with Freddie Gibbs” Lu - 2024

"I had to edge with Freddie Gibbs" doing a terrible job beating the zest allegations

I was surprised when I saw Lil Xan became the best rapper in 2018🔥

Here is my list 2010: 2 pac 2011: Playboi carti 2012: yeat 2013: north west 2014: baby keem 2015: Beethoven 2016: travis kelce 2017: jimmy fallon 2018: the beetles 2019: dc the don 2020: Ant from NFR How is the list?

Backrooms - 3:24 R.I.P- 6:26 Sky- 10:20 2024- 14:40 Long Time - 17:14 Sky - 20:31 JumpOut TheHouse - 25:24 Flatbed Freestyle - 26:36 New N3on - 30:25 Flex Up - 37:59 Rockstar Made - 39:57 R.I.P Fredo - 44:25 On That Time - 47:33 Off The Grid - 50:10 Location - 51:15 Die4Guy - 55:02 F331 Lik3 Dyin - 58:20

You two should do one for the 1990s

(2023) Ant: "Ice Spice" 🥰

yeah future 2015 idgaf, dropping 4 consecutive goated projects isn't a piece of cake

For me personally: 2010: Kanye West 2011: Drake 2012: Kendrick Lamar 2013: Drake 2014: J Cole 2015: Kendrick Lamar 2016: Danny Brown 2017: Kendrick Lamar 2018: Pusha T 2019: Freddie Gibbs 2020: Freddie Gibbs

The fact that lil baby didn’t even get a mention for 2020 is crazy. Definitely should be up there especially if we are including my turn and all his features

2010: Kanye West 2011: Kanye West 2012: Kendrick 2013: Kanye West 2014: J. Cole 2015: Kendrick 2016: Kanye 2017: Kendrick 2018: Kanye West 2019: Tyler 2020: Pop Smoke 2021: Kanye 2022: Kendrick 2023: Travis 2024: Kanye

Personally would've had BROCKHAMPTON for 2017, 3 classics imo.

That’s a huge W from Ant for putting Freddie Gibbs in 2020. Alfredo is a near masterpiece

2010 - Ye 2011 - Rocky 2012 - Kendrick 2013 - Drake 2014 - Freddie 2015 - Kendrick 2016 - Danny Brown 2017 - Brockhampton 2018 - JID or Denzel Curry 2019 - Freddie 2020 - Freddie

This video is one of my favourite nfr vids in recent memory - great work guys!

2010: Kanye West 2011: Drake 2012: Kendrick Lamar 2013: Drake 2014: J. Cole 2015: Future 2016: Denzel Curry 2017: Jay-Z/Tyler, The Creator 2018: Denzel Curry 2019: Tyler, The Creator 2020: Freddie Gibbs ------ 2021: Tyler, The Creator 2022: JID 2023: Travis Scott

Been waiting for this for so long 🙏🙏🙏

Lou had to edge with Freddie Gibbs??? 😳

Shoutout Travis for 2015, Antidote was a massive hit + Rodeo is a boundary pushing trap album. Kendrick definitely wins it for me but Travis also had a pretty massive year, arguably better than even Drake. That Future run was also unreal.

I like Luca's analogy and agree with him because it is about best rappers

for me: 2010: Kanye West 2011: Kendrick Lamar 2012: Kendrick Lamar 2013: El-P 2014: Freddie Gibbs 2015: Kendrick Lamar 2016: Danny Brown 2017: Big K.R.I.T. 2018: Pusha T 2019: Benny The Butcher 2020: Fredie Gibbs

Mine: 2010: Kanye West 2011: Drake 2012: Kendrick Lamar 2013: Kanye West 2014: Freddie Gibbs 2015: Kendrick Lamar 2016: Danny Brown 2017: Tyler, The Creator 2018: Kanye West 2019: Tyler, The Creator 2020: Freddie Gibbs (Ima keep going) 2021: JPEGMAFIA 2022: JID 2023: Danny Brown

Plz make this a series for 90s, 2000s and 20s so far.

my list: 2010: Kanye 2011: Drake 2012: Kendrick 2013: Drake 2014: Cole 2015: Kendrick 2016: Cole 2017: Tyler 2018: Travis 2019: Tyler 2020: Freddie

I was 17-27 throughout this decade and it was awesome to go back and revisit some of these classics. GKMC was the last album I burned onto an actual physical CD

😝NFR keeps cooking! Keep it up, fellas!

Travis scott not in 18 is insane

Yall should do best producer for each year

2010: Kanye or Waka Flocka 2011: Lil Wayne 2012: Drake 2013: Kendrick 2014: J.Cole 2015:Kendrick (Travis close) 2016: Kanye 2017: Migos 2018: Pusha T 2019: Young Thug 2020: Lil Baby

2018 was drakes year, his feature run was crazy and nobody has ever had as much commercial success ever as drake did that year

great vid

2020: Conway The Machine 2019: Little Simz 2018: Pusha T 2017: Kendrick Lamar 2016: Young Thug 2015: Future 2014: Freddie Gibbs 2013: Drake 2012: Kendrick Lamar 2011: Danny Brown 2010: Kanye West

Nothing to do with the video concept, but i have to say as an architecture student that you guys have one of my favorite offices. The textures in the room are just lovely and the colors too. Very cozy 10/10 🤌

yall need to do this for 2000s

2010 : Kanye 2011 : Drake 2012 : Kendrick Lamar 2013 : Drake 2014 : Freddie Gibbs 2015 : Kendrick Lamar 2016 : YG (listen to 'Still Brazy') / or all of ATCQ 2017 : Kendrick Lamar / Jay-z 2018 : Pusha T / Benny the Butcher (TT3 is insane) 2019 : Freddie Gibbs 2020 : Freddie Gibbs

2010: Kanye West 2011: MC Ride (I go outside I promise) 2012: Kendrick Lamar 2013: Kanye West 2014: Freddie Gibbs 2015: Kendrick Lamar 2016: Danny Brown 2017: Mach-Hommy 2018: Denzel Curry 2019: Tyler, the Creator 2020: Killer Mike

Have you guys ever ranked a decade of hip hop year by year? Like rank ever year from 2010 to 2020 based off of releases and what not?

2010-Kanye 2011-Drake 2012-Kendrick 2013-Rocky 2014-J Cole 2015-Kendrick (Future, Drake, Travis all easily could have been #1 most other years) 2016-Kanye 2017-Migos 2018-Drake (Most commercial success in one year ever and crazy feature run) 2019-Roddy Rich 2020-Lil Baby/Pop Smoke

2020 was Lil Baby. #1 album in the world, all genres. He was on an insane run, couldn’t stop him. He was annihilating features too.

I'm interested to know if you guys have watched The Vince Staples Show and if you have, what your thoughts are on it! Much love to the NFR crew

Damn the way these guys discuss rap shows how good their knowledge is...

“That’s why i have to edge with Freddie Gibbs” -Lu. Pause

Not mentioning Joey Badass for 2012 is crazy.

Do the 2000’s please

Best HipHop based podcast currently on YT, love your content 🤍. I would truly love it if you did the greatest diss track of all time.

2016 would be uzi for me ngl

Offset is top 5 for 2017. Met Gala verse, Without Warning, Culture

2010: Kanye 2011: drake 2012: Kendrick 2013: Rocky 2014: Freddie Gibbs 2015: Future 2016: Lil Yachty 2017: Migos 2018: Pusha T 2019: Freddie Gibbs 2020: Run The Jewels

The fact that they even questioned Kendrick owning 2015 with TPAB is actually insane.

J Cole over Freddie Gibbs when Piñata came out is crazy to me. Piñata is one of the greatest rap albums ever

NFR and Hivemind dropping the same day is always a good day!

Che Noir deserves a shout out for 2020. She had an amazing year

@nfrpodcast waiting for another diamond songs tier list

We were eating good in 2015 with to Pimp a Butterfly, Rodeo, and DS2.

I’ve been wanting to listen to more artists and would like to get some suggestions I love artist like Kid Cudi, Travis Scott, Kanye, and Don Toliver. Does anyone have suggestions on other artists to check out?

billy woods 2019. Two good albums and Hiding Places which was his breakthrough

Not having Travis Scott for 2018 is a crime

2010- Kanye west 2011-Drake 2012-Kendrick Lamar 2013-ASAP rocky 2014-schoolboy Q 2015- Asap rocky 2016-Schoolboy Q 2017-Kendrick Lamar 2018-Denzel curry 2019-Denzel curry 2020-Conway the machine 2021-Tyler the creator 2022-Denzel curry 2023-Killer Mike 2024- schoolboy Q so far

10-drake 11- drake (close second lil Wayne) 12- drake (honorable mention 2 chainz) 13- drake 14- drake 15- drake (honorable mentions future and fetty wap) 16- drake 17- Kendrick 18- drake 19-I started to lose interest

Brand New Rap fan for about 2 months, and Travis, Drake, and 21 have been my top 3 for a while

Kendrick is in contention for 2016. What a feature run - Wats Wrong, THat Part Remix, Conrad Tokyo, Really Doe, goosebumps, sidewalks etc . Incredible and also untitled unmastered

Eternal atake ran 2020, these takes r wild

Here is my list 2010: Kanye West - it’s so obvious 2011: Drake - he dropped singles like dreams money can buy, trust issues, club paradise & free spirit, and he closes out the year with take care one of the best albums of the decade 2012: Kendrick Lamar - GKMC, no questions 2013: Kanye West - Yeezus rollout, tour, he definitely bringing the experimental music to the mainstream 2014: Nicki Minaj - she had a crazy run in 2014, she dropped two songs with Beyoncé flawless remix and feelin myself, and she closes out her year with the pinkprint 2015: Future - he had one of the best runs in hip hop history, he dropped 2 mixtapes, Beast Mode and 56 Nights, he dropped DS2 and a collab album with Drake What a Time to be Alive 2016: Drake - Views, feature run and touring 2017: Kendrick Lamar - DAMN dropped, feature run 2018: Travis Scott - Travis dropped one of the biggest marvel in hip hop, his feature run, the rollout, the visuals to this album 2019: DaBaby - he dropped two albums, xxl freshman, and the feature run 2020: Lil Baby - he had a dominant run, he had the biggest and most streamed album of 2020 My Turn, he went on a insane feature run 2020 was the year for Lil Baby

I was 17 in 2012 and GKMC would just be constantly playing in the backround when I hung out with friends.

Edging with Freddie Gibbs is crazy ngl

2010: Kanye 2011: Drake 2012: Kendrick 2013: Drake 2014: Freddie Gibbs 2015: Kendrick 2016: Danny Brown 2017: Kendrick 2018: Pusha T 2019: Freddie Gibbs 2020: Freddie Gibbs

2010- Ye 2011- Drake 2012- Kendrick 2013- Drake 2014- Freddie Gibbs 2015- Kendrick 2016- J. Cole 2017- Kendrick 2018- Pusha T 2019- Freddie Gibbs

Love Lukas 2016 take. Looking back Cole was definitely King that year all through

Holy shit I’m so baked and so ready!

Nfr is arguably the best podcast ❤

That’s why I had to edge with Freddy gibbs-Luca 2024

Boldy James is so so good for 2020, Bravo

Maybe it’s the age difference but personally I think X should get a shout for 2017 in terms of the cultural impact he had, pretty much revolutionized rolling loud and the SoundCloud culture, his release from jail, the revenge tour, and then ending the year with the release of 17. No artist was more captivating than X in 2017 and he gave as an album that is highly praised for its uniqueness and vulnerability at the same time.

2010: Ye 2011: Black Thought 2012: Kendrick 2013: Drake 2014: Freddie Gibbs 2015: Kendrick 2016: J.Cole 2017: Jay-Z 2018: Ye 2019: Tyler, The Creator 2020: RTJ/Jay Electronica

i would’ve shout out Weezy on 2011. He dropped Carter 4 with hits left right and center as well as fire features

Good list but I wish you would’ve given Logic credit 2013-2015 & 2020

While Mike Will Made It did have 2 crazy songs on DAMN dont forget Bekon has production credits for 8 out of the 14 tracks on there as well.

My Opinions: 2010: Kanye West 2011: Jay - Z 2012: Kendrick Lamar 2013: Kanye West 2014: J. Cole 2015: Kendrick Lamar 2016: Kanye West 2017: Kendrick Lamar 2018: Travis Scott 2019: Tyler, The Creator 2020: Playboi Carti --------------------------------- 2021: JPEGMAFIA 2022: Kendrick Lamar 2023: Travis Scott

2013 was my year honestly peak year for rap

NFR biggest fan right here

Kanye did MBDTF WTT & cruel summer in 12 months that's a crazy run

KRIT easily wins 2011 for me. Return of 4EVA is one of the best mixtapes of the 2010s as well bringing the best feature on Undun, Make My. And an amazing verse on Murder act 2 on the most slept on album of 2011, Oneirology. He also had his biggest single, Country Shit which wasn’t even part of RO4EVA. Shoutout to the King of the South!

Anyone know what a double album is? Is it just a 2LP or an album with 2 concepts/something of that nature

no talk about rodeo for 2015 😭?😊

I'm not much of a Drake fan at all, but 2015 Drake was EVERYWHERE. Every bar, club, etc. With WATTBA, IYRTITL, Hotline Bling, the Meek Mill beef, etc. etc. TPAB is the best album of the year but 2015 felt like Drake's year.

No mention of Juice Wrld, polo or even lil baby is wild in 2020

2010 - Kanye 2011 - Drake 2012 - Kendrick 2013 - Drake 2014- J Cole 2015 - Kendrick 2016 - Kanye 2017- Kendrick 2018 - Travis 2019 - Tyler The Creator 2020 - Polo G 2021 - J Cole 2022 - Kendrick 2023 - Travis 2024 - 21 Savage so far

2018 J.cole’s KOD was fantastic

The kayne d riding is hilarious

Nipsey Hussle “Victory Lap” was hands down my favorite album of 2018. But Daytona was a really close 2nd!!! I’m not mad at Pusha getting that year.

Nfr do top 100 rap albums of all time

For me it’s danny brown for 2016

Luca had so fucking good choices today

2010: Kanye 2011: Kanye 2012: Drake (feature run, ripple effects of Take Care) 2013: Kendrick (ripples of GKMC, Control) 2014: Killer Mike 2015: Future 2016: Chance the Rapper 2017: XXXTentaction 2018: Pusha T 2019: Unironically DaBaby (two albums, features, best xxl freestyle of that year) 2020: Pop Smoke

2010- kanye 2011- drake 2012- kendrick lamar 2013- Earl sweatshirt 2014- j cole 2015- kendrick lamar 2016- J cole 2017- kendrick 2018- j cole 2019- freddie gibbs 2020- freddie gibbs
