Every Diamond Certified Rap Song Ranked (TIER LIST)

[@CDTVProductions]

i actually missed a couple here, the list i looked through seemed to exclude diamond singles with curse words in the title for some reason 😭 so here’s my tier ranking for those: XXXTENTACION & Trippie Redd “F*** Love” - C tier JAY-Z & Kanye West “N***** In Paris” - A tier

Buddies in Paris

Maaaaan. Pursuit Of Happiness is one of the most flawless songs ever.

[@themaddestvillain-g4q]

Very brave of you to put NAV’s entire discography in the S tier. The reason it went diamond is because NAV is the greatest musician ever

[@Minnevan]

Thank you, very cool!

[@big.kool.]

How certified are Lemonade and Champions rn

NAV isn’t the greatest musician ever he’s the greatest *person* ever

One thing I love about what Post Malone did for the “Diamond Collection” compilation album is how quick him or his team made it. Slapping an unused version of the Twelve Carot Toothache cover.

[@shadic1988]

Lollipop was one of the Lil Wayne songs I could not stop listening too when I was younger. Its too catchy

[@andreypanarin6930]

It was so ahead of the time Still one of the worst Wayne tracks tho 😢

[@martinwalters8677]

The synth lead for the chorus is so good.

[@cameronspalding9792]

Here’s a fun fact: for Wedding Anniversaries and Jubilees for Monarchs Diamond corresponds to 60th Anniversary while Platinum corresponds to 70th Anniversary which implies that Platinum is better. However for album sales: platinum is for 1 million sales and Diamond is for 10 million, implying Diamond is better.

[@lulw1935]

or maybe in wedding anniversaries platinum is later on cause it actually gets worse because of how fucking old you are

[@avacadomangobanana2588]

Yeah but music records are all metals. Diamonds are rocks not metal

Man on the moon is my favorite album ever, so c tier hurt my soul. Still, even though it is the best song on the tier list, I still respect your opinion. Edit: my dmubass forgot to mention I was talking about Pursuit of Happiness

[@xaviergl]

3:09 i feel this way about alooooot of music from the 2010’s because it was on the radio 24/7 back then, but when you haven’t heard them in years alot of these songs are genuinely good

[@ShangriLaSlayer]

Having listened to Mail on Sunday recently.... yeah, I can confirm Flo Rida on his first record is has a weird kind of personality to him. It's kinda like Migos in a way when you listen to their first studio album compared to the Culture trilogy.

[@whatthehellisthis]

i still can’t believe that flo rida did the triplet flow before migos
