At the end of every year, the team at HipHopDX likes to review and recap the most important things that happened in our culture. We look back at the Beef’s, the best social media moments, some of the best rappers in the game, as well as recognize the overall best. So check all that happened in Hip Hop in 2019 or click here if you want to see the full list of Hip Hop Awards, nominees and winners.
One of the most enticing aspects regarding the world of Hip Hop is the lyricism and its penchants for hyperboles.
Whether it’s ridiculous claims of wealth, braggadocio sex tales or retellings of the Terminator films, rappers know how to keep audiences entertained with their claims.
Eye-catching verses have been around since the days of Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick and Special Ed and this year’s most insane lyrics uphold the controversy.
Have a look for yourself.
Benny The Butcher — “18 Wheeler”
“First time I ever cooked a deuce, I got a four-way from it/Stabbed it in the pot so many times they think OJ done it”
Just in case you’re wondering, Orenthal James Simpson is alive and well, currently gloating about winning his football fantasy league.
Baby Keem — “Orange Soda”
“Bitch sit on my face, I attack that Choose up, lil’ junt, I’m finna pack him”
In just one year’s time, Las Vegas native Baby Keem has crowned himself as Hip Hop’s newest prince of shock value. After all, he did name his project DIE FOR MY BITCH.
Reason on “LamboTruck”
“Wait Cozz, I ain’t sayin’ he a thot, my nigga/Look, let me explain We could tie Ib up Throw him in the back of a Lamborghini truck/Cole do something, we could let a Glock squeeze up”
Even as a conceptual song, things took a turn into Morbidbiville towards the end.
Rick Ross — “BIG TYME”
“Throw the keys to the bitch, nigga, big tyme (Big tyme)/Big tyme (Big tyme)/Big tyme (Big tyme)/My momma gotta come to me because I’m big tyme!”
Hopefully, Rozay doesn’t make her kiss the ring as well.
Pusha T on Freddie Gibbs’ “Palmolive”
“Way more chemical than political/PTSD from what I weighed on the digital/It was snowfall and Reagan gave me the visual/Obama opened his doors knowing I was a criminal”
Such a dirty rhyme on a squeaky clean album cut. Does this make Obama an accomplice to “aiding and abetting?”
DaBaby — “XXL”
These niggas, they know I’m a dawg I ain’t worried about him, I know he a bitch (Meow)/The next nigga that come play with me I’ma send him to go ask 2Pac for a pic, bitch”
Or, they could play nice and wait for Coachella to bring back the hologram.
Young Thug on “Hot”
“Cartier eyes/Cartier coat, Cartiers the watch/Cartier love, Cartier the thot/Cartier specs, buffalo on the side/Princess cut diamonds, they Cartier, yeah/Cartier bag for the Cartier thot/Sky Wrangler coupe with two hundred the dash/Cartier jeans, ain’t no way I can sag”
Talk about product placement. They better cut the check for the next album.
Lil Tjay on Polo G’s “Pop Out”
“Got that .40 on my side and I’m just rollin’ past the jakes/Both my hands can do the job and I ain’t talkin’ masturbate”
Now that’s how you get off on a track.
Kash Doll on “Doin Too Much”
“Big ass titties like I’m Dolly Parton/Living ‘La Vida Loca’ like I’m Ricky Martin Pussy pink, Tesla, I ain’t gotta park it Can’t fuck an NBA nigga, if he ain’t starting”
Even benchwarmers make multi-millions now. Kash just has uber-high standards.
Megan Thee Stallion — “Cash Shit”
“I don’t be stressin’ ’bout none of these niggas/When they be talkin’, I don’t even listen/Tellin’ me secrets, I probably forget it/But I’ma tune in when he say he gon’ lick it”
Note to guys worldwide: only cunnilingus breeds conversation with the Hot Girl.
Freddie Gibbs — “Flat Tummy Tea”
“Fuck Spike, he mostly show Malcolm on coke and white whores/Did the shit so he can get fundin’ up from them white boys/White girl magic, cocaine, the white whores I was in Joliet serving heroin to them white boys”
Anyone who’s seen the Spike Lee-helmed masterful biopic can somewhat understand the sentiment. And for the record, Freddie has went on record to state he “loves” Spike.
Eminem on Fat Joe’s “Lord Above”
“I know me and Mariah didn’t end on a high note/But that other dude’s whipped-that pussy got him neutered/Tried to tell him this chick’s a nut job before he got his jewels clipped/Almost got my caboose kicked/Fool, quit /You not gonna do shit/I let her chop my balls off too before I lose to you, Nick.”
Who woulda thunk that the 2,132 traded bar between Nick Cannon and Slim Shady would have spawned not one but three diss records, re-unearthed racist commentary, reinvigorated battle rappers and dozens of hours dedicated to all the aforementioned horseradish on the radio? Um, good job, Em?

J. Cole, denzel curry, joyner etc has dropped great lines this year, wtf is this list?
Young Thug rhymes Cartier with Cartier! Insane!
Amateur Hanna-Barbera characters know they envy / The illest Hennessy Black sipper with loaded semis / You pick of the week, voted-in rappers you go against me / You can’t tantalize a call girl with just a roll of pennies / Can’t bait a lion in ya trap without a tranquilizer / You enterin’ a boxing ring with no trainer beside ya /
This whole damn list SUCKS !! .. you call this crap “Insane Lyrics”?? .. GTFOH with this crap .. the writer of this article should be banned from doing idiotic articles like this for life .. their labels must have paid him $$ to give them this publicity or something .. just shows how far hiphop has fallen with these crappy rappers with whack a** nursery rhymes
The list says “insane” not “best” geezzzzzz
Literally every single barr you quoted there is fucking garbage.
Eminen & Pusha T make the rest on this list look like first time rappers. STEP YA GAME UP 2020!
Obviously Eminem ripped it and is in that #1 spot. Gibbs and Pusha in on the podium at #2 and #3. The majority of the rest is trash especially Thugger.
you can add me to your list with the insane scheme down below.
Gucci shoes/Gucci jeans/Gucci shirt(yeah)/Gucci shades/Gucci jacket(cold)
Trent Clark, you fucked up
holy sugar honey ice tea… what the fuck is this list. This is disgusting… it is clearly a joke right? Has to be. Fuck this I’m out.
Anyone sane go listen to Black Balloons Reprise by Denzel Curry, go listen to that Black Moon featuring Method Man song. Whatever. Fuck every line on that list except for Freddie Gibbs.
Thanks for dropping the knowledge, checked that Black Balloons reprise, its fire.
Everyone here is trash Insane lyrics and you have da baby on here? Wtf is wrong with. People crooked I did an Insane HHW every week straight fire no love for real hop hop you guys dont shed any light on those who deserve it
Is it supposed to be a joke, isnt’ it? Rick Ross and lyrics. Moreover Youg Thug and lyrics. Okay, Trant, keep listen to your Madonna best of.
Insane here ranges from amazing to terrible. Eminem and king push are far ahead of the rest. Gibbs was good. Everybody else fell into the terrible column. Megan Thee Stallion had way better, way more outlandish rhymes than that so I dont know why out of the whole album you picked that. What is going on in the world?
Everybody else was terrible? Uh Benny the Butcher is terrible?
Where’s Necro???
