My Top 5 Picks

TIE: 1.

TIE: 1. 

My Bottom 5 Picks

The following has been added  to the bad rap  page:

• Tunnel Vision by Kodak Black. Perfect example of how to  make a  bad first impression 
• The Story of O.J. by JAY-Z. Oh great. While the beat  is good, the lyrics are very unacceptable. Even though this hasn't been released yet, it somehow got a Grammy nomination for Record of the Year over Shape Of You, Billboard's #1 song of the year despite rap being bigger than ever. This doesn't make sense.
• Both by Gucci Mane/Drake. Seriously more Gucci. Annoying
