After Jay-Z, Nas, Eminem, and Common, there is a Top Five Spot, in Hip Hop. The top Five Spot, has a heavy rotation list which includes rappers like 50 Cent, Kanye West, and other heavy artists who crush the Rap Game in a given year. In 2015, there were no better contenders than The Game, Jadakiss, and Rick Ross.
In 2015, The Game jolted the Hip Hop community alive with, The Documentary 2 release. Every track on the album is a West Coast Hit. Hits from the release were very accessible on Rhapshody, YouTube, and other streaming services, giving Hip Hop Heads taste to buy the nearly Gold selling album. When the, Top Five Dead or Alive release by Jadakiss, hit the streets, the streets went bananas! The album solidified the Incumbent Contender, Jadakiss, as the Best Rapper to beat, and he murdered every track on the release extending from his previous Mixtape Hits, The Champ and Consignment, each previous consecutive summer. The Miami based rapper, Rick Ross closed the 2015 year with the release of Black Market. While the album adds hits to the list of the Platinum selling Artist, record sells released by Maybach Music Group and Def Jam Recordings are still moving to meet expectations. The street credibility, truth to the art, Substance, and skills put on the table in 2015, only deserves the greatest award Hip Hop can give. That award, with equal love and appreciation to all the contenders, now goes to The Game...
The only honorable mention is Kendrick Lamar.
