Top Tracks Of The Week: January 21- January 26

Weezy gave everybody a lot of material to mull over while waiting for Tha Carter V this week with the release of Sorry 4 The Wait 2.

Apparently, the mixtape wasn’t enough to contain Wayne’s work, as he dropped this Migos collab soon after the release of SFTW2. On “Amy”, Wayne tries his hand at the Migos flow to mixed results. But WeezyMania was so strong this week that it pushed the track to number 2 on our charts behind yet another song by Wayne.

WeezyMania continues with another cut that actually did appear on S4TW2 but continues to amount views and clicks.

There are some legitimately great songs on SFTW2 in which Weezy sounds more on than he has in a while. However, "Used To" sounds more like a sad attempt at a second "HYFR."

I guess the lesson is “Never Underestimate Drake”. He could get drunk and read a phone book and we’d be here next week pretending it’s fire.

Back to the positives from this week. New Tity Boi is always welcome. This cut from his upcoming T.R.U. Jack City (out next week) shows us that co-signs and genuine talent don’t matter if you can’t catch a break.

Seriously, Cap 1 is always on. He needs to be bigger.

Migos absolutely destroyed the beat from Rowdy Rebel’s “Computers” for their upcoming collaborative GS9/Migos mixtape Shmigo Gang.

The song only features Shmurda and Rebel in a technical sense, they bookend the track with intros and outros that were clearly recorded off of a phone. Depending on the results of the GS9 members pending legal cases, the whole tape could end up with the same lo-fi aesthetic, if it ever sees a release at all.

Los is known for his lyrically dense rhymes. However, on his latest track from the L.A. Leakers Draft Picks 2015 mixtape, the Baltimore-based rapper shows he can go dumb and beat the trap rappers at their own game.

No, it’s not a song that’s going to save anyone’s life. But Fridays need soundtracks, too. It might as well be Los.

HNHH readers really disliked this track, but it still landed in the Top 20.

“Have You Ever” is by far the poppiest thing that Rich Homie Quan has ever done. The piano and bells that compose the beat are so bright that they almost sound like a Christmas song. And Quan probably deserves a fair amount of ribbing for “Have you ever seen the end of a rainbow?”

Still, we should all be prepared to catch ourselves humming this like a month from now. We’ll be ashamed, but it’s going to happen.
