[@AhuraAhmadi]

Imagine it's raining outside and you don't have an umbrella. But then this mysterious nonchalant man welcomes you to stand under his umbrella. His calming voice lures you in and you find warmth in his presence. That man is Ant

Walkin number 1 is an INCREDIBLE CHOICE. Huge W!!! My only gripe was Ant not talking about God Is Perfect. It deserved some conversation 😭

Also is just gotta add. These 5 years with NFR have been amazing. I truly believe your work has kept hip hop alive and more exciting in the 2020's decade. Your impact is undeniable and im thankful to be apart of the NFR fam. Shoutout to the whole NFR team you guys are incredible! From nothing to the biggest music covering channel in just 5 years.

Ants top 5 is exactly what mine would be. But having Walkin at 2/1 and no Melt Session 1 in the entire list is kinda crazy to me because those songs aren’t that different and both absolutely incredible.

for me personally, I got “Live! From The Kitchen Table,” in my top 5, but “Life of the Party” and “Walkin” are definitely one and two.

live from the kitchen table is THE most beautiful jazz rap song I've ever heard

I love the Walkin love, it’s definitely in my top 10 and maybe top 5, but 2007 by JID is one of the best outro tracks I’ve ever heard! 🔥🔥🔥

[@NFRPodcast]

Great shout

[@LeCumminz]

Walkin at #1/#2 is such a W. Definitely the most perfect rap song of the 2020s. It kept me going all throughout high school. I’ll never get tired of listening to it. Fs helped solidify Denzel as my favorite rapper of all time.

[@hooman_Zoh]

[@ronnypooky]

best song off donda and a top 10 track of the decade for me, legit brought me to tears

[@adamfadi6457]

Y'all should make a top 10,25 or even a top 50 hip-hop songs of all time

[@samsonnicholas576]

Just heard Life of the Party for the first time the other week, and both my parents passed this decade. 3k verse made me tear up.

That ant crash out about jpc was so funnny😂😂😂

[@AdaptCap]

Make a Spotify playlist for this!

[@nfenjoyer]

shocked that Black and Blue by Vince Staples did not make it into top 25, best song of the year for sure

[@Paladin1022]

Wow Ant with a super valid Big Sean pull in the top 10

[@ablackwelltp1]

Great to see Introvert in Luca’s top 5. I feel like Little Simz gets album shoutouts a lot (especially for SIMBI) but doesn’t get singles shoutouts as regularly for whatever reason. There’s a lot of great songs on that record but Introvert in particular is so special

Would love to see this done for other decades

Can u do another part of best and worst features from these rappers

[@Yourdailydoseofsarcasm]

Wow man Wah Gwan Delilah is also my number 1… like the flow where he mentions the banks went crazy

[@user-mb1qy5ij7g]

Might be a hot take but i honestly think BURN would get a spot in the top 10 for me. It has a great kanye verse, great hook, the song is literally perfect besides te length and probably top 20 kanye oat for me.

[@NFRPodcast]

Best Ye song of the 2020s for you?

[@user-mb1qy5ij7g]

@@NFRPodcast nah life of the party is still better butt second best fs

[@dandy-xf3ys]

Nah bro, it has a great verse, great hook, and great beat, but nothing else is relevant on that track, it gets boring when you have other tracks with the same greatness. It’s just a great Kanye song, and there’s easily 25 better song than that one

[@gamer2four712]

Respectfully this is a bad take and I’m NOT just saying that cuz vultures was ass it’s not top 25 in general cuz the 202s has had a lot of good stuff and it doesn’t hold up to others imo but it’s not a bad song

[@place-holder5221]

I feel like although it is good, it’s just a little generic. there are so many more amazing rap projects and songs in the 2020s that it wouldn’t even be a contender for me there. even in 2024, I don’t think it’s top 20 for me

[@steezmast3r]

Can you make a spotify list of these songs?

[@elijah7535]

at the end of the decade yall should do a video where you go month by month and pick the best song/album
