RANKING ALL MY SONGS OF 2024

[@theidpboi6205]

As a massive music geek who’s always interested in analysis and production dissection, watching my number one artist for the last 3 years break down his thoughts on each and every one of his tracks! I *LIVE* for this kind of thing, and this has become an annual event for me! Just wanted to voice that to get the rush of nerdiness out of my system for now

[@theidpboi6205]

Each year I wonder how he’s gonna evolve and make his songs more unique and up the quality, and each year I’m shocked; and for the past 3 he’s ended up as my number 1 artist. Never disappoints, and always surprises! Keep it up, dude!

[@Veer_20]

SAMEEEEEE

[@rhakii]

I love that Rustage gives his insight and thoughts on each song and ranks them personally rather than what others think or say. Like how he personally loved Avatar and thought Ayanokoji was an alright song. Saying this does kinda hurt Not Like Me is my top song of the year 😭. Your hard work over the years being visually and audibly represented through your music has been an amazing journey to witness.

[@deltabeast8132]

Dude not like me is also my top 1 rustage song of the year and it hurts that he doesnt think its as good as it is, but I also really value hearing his own personal opinions.

[@TheTheatralik]

What a year it's been. A low point in my life, but also a turn to the good side. A lot of self reflection, self care and trying to change things about myself and my life. And through all of that, music - especially Rustages music - was a constant companion. Always kept me motivated to move on, to be better - but also let me feel understood (especially with some songs on the album). I love what you do, Rustage and I love this ranking, even though I don't agree with every placement. Then again, I don't have to :P Keep it coming! And much love goes out to everyone who's struggling and everyone thriving alike! You all rock your own little world and are appreciated for who you are! Keep being the best you can be

[@Naija_Ninja]

The PureOjuice story was so funny and kinda wholesome how hes like "bro I'm new to this success from my music thing, how do i pay taxes" 😭😂 Super Saiyan my co favorite rustage song of the year along with David Mitchell. And that back and forth is my favorite verse. I play the wjole song just to get to that part. Y'all should collab more

[@Katzenmlnze]

You keep saying that your voice doesn't fit well into raps, though I personally really like your voice, imo it makes raps way more interesting, other ones often just sound too similar or "normal" to me. So take this kind of weird backhanded compliment and thank you for releasing these reviews of your year, they are always interesting to watch!

[@PickleBlood]

Hey rustage. I'm honestly watching you generally for DnD but over time I enjoyed your content so much I follow your songs, WWE, and I will get to mine craft soon. I just listened to Take Me Back for the first time in this very video. Until two years ago I didn't know who I was. Now I do know. I want my great grandkids to idolize me, I want my future family to be proud I took part of their life. I want my legacy to be the goal my descendents strive to. My great grandpa was like that, he's a WWII hero, and went from nothing to fame and riches by his own accord. Let's just say I've been catching wind myself, hopefully in the coming years I'll become the pride of the family. Long story short. You need to be something great enough to make others proud to have known you. And trust me, you made that impact. You're an incredible person, and you've always stayed true to yourself. I disagree with you on so many things honestly, random hot takes and all, but you're legit such a major role model for me. Rock on man, keep up the good work, I'll be watching everything you do. P.S. I'm a busy ass man. I make time to watch your content. You're a part of the light in my week.

My personal top five: 1.Moonlight, the chorus and lyrics really got me through tough times, Johnald has an amazing voice, so I enjoy any song that he is in, another thing about this song, when I first listened to it, I was captivated, and spent the next hour of my life practising it before I even got to the next song in the playlist. 2.Gunning for me, the mix of the lyrics and music in the song had me vibing to it the entire listen, I also listened to it 213 times on spotify, which just shows how much I love it. 3.Otherworldly, the references to the podcast and overall amazing lyrics had me going back to it over and over again, and I liked it more and more each time. 4.Valhalla, Rustage liked a comment I made on this song, which made my entire week, and I enjoy mythology, so it was a great song for me based off of the references to Norse myth, lyricism, and the beat of the song, I also enjoy any song that has the U.K trio in it. 5.Assimilate, I simply loved this song, hands down, the music was unreal, I had a hard time deciding if I enjoyed it or Absolute more. I can't wait for his next songs, and I'm so glad that I stumbled across him years ago, and have now become addicted to his music, I hope to soon go to one of his concerts and meet him, whether that be at the Texas NPC event, or at the Slaughtered Lamb, he has grown so far since the start of his channel, and he will continue to grow until he has surpassed every other rapper, 7 Minutoz, Dan Bull, even Eminem. Happy New Years everyone, and have a good 2025.

[@tanyam928]

I love these year end streams from Rustage and hearing the breakdown/ background of the songs. Rustage has been my top artist for the last 3 years, my favorites from this year are Kami, Time, Freak!, Moonlight, Eating Colours, I Still Breath, and Jinx. Rustage has really evolved as an artist and I love when he takes risks, a few of them will fall flat but the ones that work out are really amazing and push him to keep innovating and doing more in the future so I am really looking forward to the new year and what will be coming up

[@ImKing-WRLD]

I honestly love Moonlight. All of the lyrics hit perfectly and are so sentimental. Genuinely one of my top 5 favourite songs by you. Might even argue top 3 with the video involved too. I also hella relate with Eating Colours way more now with the whole explanation. Its actually crazy how amazing all your songs are

[@WeDieInTheDark]

31:19 I’m Russian and have a seen all the Russian adaptations of Sherlock Holmes which I think are the best (movie wise even queen elizabeht said that before she died) and I loved this rap it was just so awesome I also LOVE the line “body in London but came from America” it goes soooo hard

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Loved the livestream! My favorite song of this year was KAMI. Look forward to another great year

[@aritrasaha441]

Until the end made me cry. Its the perfect song @Rustage. You outdid yourself with the lyrics Also the avatar song is awesome no matter what anyone says

[@kitsunespawz4004]

I missed this stream cause I was in a DnD session, but this is probably my favorite rustage video each year, hehe My favorite songs this year weren't even anime tracks, with the exeption of hellfire, funnily enough. I absolutely loved kami and VIP and Shogun and Avatar and Valhalla and damn picking favorites is hard when everything slaps. To be fair though, I didn't listen to the Dandadan or Jinx raps until just now since I am trying to avoid spoilers and have yet to watch either show, but they both slapped damn. Hope you had a great start into rhe new Year! :)

I think that reference for Frieren is just Rustage trying to find what the vocals should be, and how one should manipulate their sounds. It’s fine Rustage, singing takes time (ironic-), and you were probably tired from rapping and making lyrics-

Ngl i got so used to Rustage putting Ay at the end of his verses bc i kept hearing it but now going back it wasn't as prevalent as i originally thought, I knew when they was coming (been listening since prince of the saiyans, Google music shutting down fucked over my year so I lost most his old songs)

My top five songs of the year have to be 5) Adam 4) Prime 3)Viligante Deku 2) Jinx and 1) Avatar Special shout out to David Mitchel tho. I felt so called out that Rustage said it was only for him because I loved it Thanks for another great year Rustage!❤

The thing with the Alastor Rap was that the two lines being rhymed were: “Shephard’s tone” and “Set the Tone”, which to me is less rhyming the last words, but the entire line, which to me makes it viable.

Regarding the Classroom of the Elite critizisim. The writing is defintily tough sometimes, especially if you reread it/its your first experience with the Material. But also the Author and Ayanokoji himself states more then once, a bit later on, that he is not someone to be aspired. Sadly the message gets twisted due to some of those weird internet guys who actually think he is some kind of god. But anyway, thanks again for a year of new music even though I didnt listen to you asmuch as I did in the last few years. I really loved many of your songs you released this year again.

[@darkumineru1681]

my top 3 ended up being David Mitchall was so bumpy and funky and love it and the second is hard to pick but i think "time" "blow it all up" maybe "until the end" "someone else" really just any song from this year maybe "king of the world" is my pick tho? really hard to pick one bit more of a emotional reason for the top 3 but still really just loved eating colours, it where one of those that got me to really look into myself and doing maybe not therapy but really went to look for food to try, filled the "junk" food from my life stopped sweats still eating fries and pizza's but filling with more greens and fish potatoes spiced food, spice ended up taking this obsession, so now i eat spice with everything some will say to much still not good but feel i might be better? the song really keeps me to it and be more conscious of it while still allowing myself the use of sweats and eating it, just less of it so thanks for that.

[@ShadowStorm_The_TrailBlazer]

It' s so amazing to see how much you' ve grown. I think my first song by you was crocodile, one of my all time favorites, and then after that I kinda lisnted but not really, than the first kakashi rap and Yellow Flash came out, obviously with ones like sasuke and next hokage and the akatsuiki cypher came out, and I loved those, and all this time later, you still manage to make music I always come back too. Kami is top tier, Turn the Volume up was in my top ten songs for my recap(70 hours listened out of 450 total were just that song), Mythos and Valhalla were amazing since I'm a MASSIVE mythology nerd, I relistened Command and Lost in the night, two songs that helped me get through my first majorly abusive relationship and those still slap, and then thanks to you I started listening to more Fabvl, Orcadia, TheManBeHisLa, all the others who I had shoved to the back of my mind, started listening to them a lot as well, I spent 84 hours listening to Fabvl's Crowned(out of 450) and 76 hours on Nothing(also out of 450!!!). Bro, Devils Luck? FUCKING PEAK, fall was amazing, stand our ground I feel is really underrated, Going for the Kill was a top song for me, and even more so for Running in Blind. City lights was one I didn't think I would like but I kept coming back to it and even now, two almost three years later since I was a sophomore in highschool when I found it, I still get the itch to listen to it. Dust and Shots I liked when I was younger and still pop up from time to time, Too Great was a nice one, didn't get into as much but I enjoyed it. My siblings and I LOVED blood, and we still sing Red together, that chorus hits so hard. Drums of Liberation was amazing, Over for you was great and hurt a bit because I love rengoku and they hoed my mans. 7 warlords was amazing to me when I was younger, I'm sure I still have it memorized, same for overlord, bounce back, Akatsuki, Turn it up, Legend, Boss, and don't get me started on God mode, eyes on me was such a strong ressonace for me, all of the vs raps you made my siblings and I loved, I think from, what 2018 I think, to 2020 I listed to every song you released and loved on all of them. Yeah it had to be six years because three sword strike was new when I started listening. I could go on and on for hours about your songs but this is already a lot, I just want to say you've had a big impact on my life and helped me a lot and I cant thank you enough. You've done a great job and grown a lot and I'm so glad I got to be here for it, I cant wait to see what you have in store for 2025. (Edit, I couldn't thank you enough for the help your music has given me but I don't want to ramble about that and all of the songs that I love from you as well but just know you're music has done wonders for me and got me through one of the hardest times of my life, I cant thank you enough for that
