In 2025, Kendrick Lamar had the No. 1 song in the country for 13 weeks. On top of "Not Like Us" reclaiming the top spot, giving him 14 total weeks at No. 1 in 2025.
He headlined the most watched Super Bowl halftime show in history!
He headlined the highest grossing hip-hop stadium tour in history!
He delivered multiple standout features, including what many consider a top two verse of the year on chains & whips.
And despite not releasing a new album in 2025, he still finished the year with the best-selling rap album (top 10 all genres) and the No. 1 rap song.
So yes, Kendrick Lamar was the best male hip-hop artist of the year.
Hold your tears... and tell your favorites to do better.
Good morning!
Hip Hop media is a cesspool. They really failed Hip Hop by not covering Doechii, Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Don Toliver, Cardi B., and Baby Keem tours.
They really sat on their asses and covered gossip all day long. The artists fanbases kept visibility on their huge tour accomplishments
Ebro & Peter Rosenberg TAKE ISSUE W/Drake lyrics on ICEMAN:
“Drake has too many white [fans] who feel no guilt. He has white fans who don’t feel guilty when they say the N-Word.”
Ebro Adds, “You’re triggered by a guy who is irresponsible w/ his platform.. What the [culture] represents he doesn’t take care of.”

“No cap, false nigga, you not a boss, YOU GOT A BOSS,
Niggas getting jerked, that shit hurts, I take it personally,
Niggas rather work for the man than to work with me,
Just so they can pretend they on my level, that shit is irkin' to me,
Pride always goeth before the fall, almost certainly,
