besides the obvious nominations such as nas and kendrick (heart pt 3

) i want to share what to me is easily up there:
joey bada$$- hadknock, one of my most played songs of the year, that third verse



[Verse 3: Joey BadA$$]
nikkas wanna know what Im about
Im bout blowing loud on the block sporty
Glock 40 in a politician mouth
I take the competition out, commission wit' my composition
Who the kid spitting behind the bars like a con position
Gotta give em time to listen
Theyll soon bump to it theyll like me
I kick it like Nike theyll soon adjust to it
But if you hate I know you must do it
I aint mad at you I keep my attitude on "screw it a million bucks should do it"
Im out for presidents to represent me
Yo chick keep messaging me, who the bestest MC? They be mentioning me
Too hot, I be molesting the beat, fukk math
Teachers should teach us to get Smith & Wessons off the street
So first class be a lesson for me
fukk what you teaching for some regents, I'm flying over regions
Reaching, all time highs where Jesus cant reach us
Step to me and get the recipe to make you rest in peace
This is for my nikkas, killers, hundred dollar billers
On the block in the rock spot, Glock cocked watching out for cops
All about their cheddar, young guns know nothing thats better
Like fukk a prison letter, those Berettas led us to the lettuce
Relish fetishes, menaces
Want the senators percentages, if you ain't prejudice you still a nemesis
Smoking on the Clematis, get open like a present is
Now your presence is on the premises for them presidents
My city be the genesis for where they think the terror is
They linking terrorists from the Stuy then Lincoln Terraces
Stay on that reckless shyt, they leave you left for the dead
Kids dont play theyll erase your head in a race for the bread
Children on the corners slinging some regs, popping some meds
Jakes be so deep in cover they be chasing the feds
I be back stage gripping haze breaking my leg
My folks was making the best when they was naked in bed, muthafukka
