G-Eazy (1) - Hip-Hop Nations's Music Meeting Top 20 Week of 7/28/18

Hi everyone. Most people don't know this, but SiriusXM Hip-Hop Nation does a Top 20 each week. There's a lot less good songs here, but since no one was reviewing it, I decided I would try. When it comes to this type of music, I don't hate it like some in this community do, but it's not my favorite thing. If you want me to continue doing this, tell me. Otherwise, this might be a one-off post. Something else to note: I only started listening to this very recently, so I don't know about some songs that may have hit #1 in the past. Here is this week's exit:

• Jay Rock - Win (#20)

Last Week's #1: YG/2 Chainz/Big Sean/Nicki Minaj - Big Bank (1)

20. Drake - Nice For What (#19) [-1]

19. Lil Skies/Landon Cubes - Red Roses (#18) [-1]

18. A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie - Odee (#17) [-1]

17. Lil Uzi Vert/Nicki Minaj - The Way Life Goes [Remix] (#16) [-1]

16. XXXTENTACION - Sad! (#15) [-1]

15. Kanye West - Yikes (#8) [-7]

14. Travis Scott/Kanye West/Lil Uzi Vert (#14) [=]

Biggest Drop of the Week: Kanye West - Yikes (-7)

New Entrants

~Only one new song this week. Chance The Rapper recently released four new singles, and I haven't gotten around to listening to all of them yet, but I haven't heard great things. 65th & Ingleside is not Chance's best song, but it's still pretty solid. The high-pitched voices are a bit annoying, but his flow is really good as always. The lyrical content is good too. Overall, great song and I hope it does well.

65th & Blurbeside

~We only lost one song this week: Jay Rock's Win. I didn't like this one that much so I don't mind seeing it go.

~Of course Sad! is here. Because apparently, people think that X has talent? I don't get it at all, and I don't think anyone here really gets it. His obnoxious mumble-rap is intolerable. It is of course awful that he died because no one deserves to die that young, but that doesn't mean I have to like his music. And his biggest song is about him threatening to kill himself if someone dumps him... That should speak for itself.

~The Way Life Goes [Remix] is my guilty pleasure of 2018 so far. I never hated XO TOUR Llif3 from last year, but I'll be the first to admit that Lil Uzi Vert did not sound good on that song. However, he has really stepped up his game here. He actually sounds good. And I really enjoy Nicki's verse. Great song, but it seems to be dying out.

~I find it a little odd that 92 Explorer is here despite not being a single. It's one of the best songs on the album, so I won't complain, but it's weird. The host, DJ Ninja 9, said it was her favorite song so that might explain why it's here.

~Just when I thought Lucid Dreams might be falling, it takes a big jump right up there to 4. While I don't hate the song, I don't like it, and it's being really damn overrated. I'd like for this one to leave soon.

~Another song where I don't understand it's success is Yes Indeed. This song is just annoying. While Drake sounds decent, Lil Baby has terrible flow. I hope this one starts dropping soon, because I don't want to worry every week that this will be our #1.

~Speaking of hitting #1, G-Eazy did that with 1942. It's a pretty good song, and it's better than the rest of the top 5. Aside from the Halsey name drop, I enjoy this song. I wouldn't mind seeing it at #1 for a little longer.
