Hi, I'm the Rap Critic, here once again to give you the best rap songs of the last year. Let’s get started
9. "A Better Tomorrow" - Wu-Tang Clan
The first one on this list comes courtesy of the mighty Wu-Tang itself, from their newest album, A Better Tomorrow, not to be confused with the song of the exact same title from their '97 album “Wu-Tang Forever”, which is quite fitting, because it uses its sampling choice just about as liberally as hip-hop producers did back in 1997
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be
But Method Man comes in head first with no doubt the best verse of all four, flipping through different socially conscious topics almost effortlessly
[Method Man:]
My peoples tired of waiting for reparations to pay us
Screaming Jesus can save us, I, I get the Bentley if I save up
But that's just another trick to enslave us
Push the minimum wages, put, put our fathers up in them cages
Then watch out when mother struggled to raise us
Followed by a surprisingly on-point verse from Masta Killa, and honestly, this song couldn’t have come at a better time, along with the type of music video supporting protesters of Michael Brown’s and Eric Garner’s deaths at the hands of police officers. However, as good as the first couple of verses and the general messages of the song are...
[Cappadonna:]
I'm on the back of the bus with two fine divas
We in the jungle of life, but never jungle fever
Cap, is this REALLY the time to talk about your sexual preferences?
