Rolling Stone has named its “100 Best Songs Of 2013,” which includes selections from Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Drake and Big Sean, among others.
Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky,” which features Pharrell and Nile Rodgers, was named the #1 song of the year.
The highest-ranked Rap song was Kanye West’s “Black Skinhead,” which was #3. “The anthem that announced the Yeezus LP was full-bent on wrecking shit is a collab with Daft Punk – ‘Ye rapping rabid over an industrial glitter-rock stomp pumped with heavy breathing and Tarzan screams,” Rolling Stone wrote of “Black Skinhead.” “Next time someone says America is post-race, play ’em this, and watch their head explode.”
The rapper-producer’s “Blood on The Leaves” was #20 and his “I Am A God” was #65. All three of the Chicago artist’s songs appeared on his Yeezus album, which was named the #2 album of the year in Rolling Stone’s “50 Best Albums Of 2013,” which was released Monday (December 2).
Other songs of note in the Top 20 included Lorde’s “Royals” at #2, Justin Timberlake’s “Mirrors” at #7, Drake’s “Started From The Bottom” at #9, Big Sean featuring Kendrick Lamar and Jay Electronica’s “Control” at #13, Eminem’s “Rap God” at #15 and Jay Z’s “Picasso Baby” at #19.
Several other Rap songs were included on Rolling Stone’s list. Among them was J. Cole’s “Crooked Smile,” which landed at #37. “Over piano chords straight out of Kanye’s College Dropout, the North Carolina rapper opens up about his own insecurities and reassures fans about theirs,” Rolling Stone wrote. “It’s lush soul rap that’s uplifting but never boring – making self-affirmation sound like a hot night at a velvet-rope club.”
Other songs on the list included Kevin Gates’ “Whylin’” at #40; Young Thug’s “Picachu” at #45; Robin Thick featuring T.I. and Pharrell’s “Blurred Lines” at #50; Migos featuring Drake’s “Versace (Remix)” at #69; Chance the Rapper featuring Nate Fox and Lili K’s “Pusha Man” at #74; Major Lazer featuring Bruno Mars, Tyga and Mystic’s “Bubble Butt” at #76; Jay Z’s “Tom Ford” at #77; Mystikal’s “Hit Me” at #80; 2 Chainz featuring Pharrell’s “Feds Watching” at #81; and Janelle Monae featuring Erykah Badu’s “Q.U.E.E.N.” at #84.

Rolling Stones is COMPLETELY sucking on Kanye’s dick.
All critics are. Bunch of hipsters promoting that garbage.. Every song besides Black Skinheads is trash.
spin gave it album of the year LMAO
Was better then eminems bullshit album.
Good joke.
@get mad honkie please be kidding. I respect if you like the album better than Eminem’s (I have not listened to Yeezus though so I cant say which is better), but one thing is for sure and that is the MMLP 2 is a great album. Aside from about 2 songs, its amazing. and the bonus tracks are fire (sould have replaced at least survival imo).
Any fan of music would get that Kanye’s album is better than Eminem’s and that Kanye is a much better artist. Eminem should stick to battle rapping.
No, they won’t. They’ll see that Eminem has a better album and is a better artist than Kanye.
No…Kanye catalog in general is better then Em’s. Now as far as lyrics Eminem is better but when it comes to making GOOD music its not even close #LANDSLIDE
niggaz be deepthroating.

Those are the Top 5 worst songs of the year.
Tuscan Leather and Too Much are definitely Top 5.

Because of ratings like this, Kanye will continue to release crap music.

#50 Versace…really that song made it on a list! Perhaps if this was worst songs, it would be number 1
At least Gucci is a real street nigga.
Fake niggas:
* Nas never sold drugs. Remember when Jay-Z said “i showed you your first tech at Large professors tour”
* Mobb Deep were at the school of arts. So when did they there robberies and shootouts????????
* Ice Cube never was a gangbanger and was bullied at school according to his old forgotten homies.
* Jay-Z has ZERO respect in the streets, just ask Cam’ron!
* 2Pac never sold drugs. Suge Knight was the mussles behind 2pac because without him 2pac was a coward.
* Eminem never killed someone or was a serial killer. His image was made up by Interscipe Records to sell records. Lol the angry frustrated white kid.
* Snoop sold some drugs but was just a SMALL soldier.
* T.I. is a snitch how can you get away with housearest for illegal weapons without snitching? Normally you 10 years!
* Young Jeezy was already exposed by Gucci as a fraud.
FREE GUCCI MANE!
you make valid points but these artist produce some of the best music hip hop has ever heard. gucci cant rap for shit.
thats why they’re rappers/entertainers
“So when did they there robberies and shootouts”
