    Notice how you have to put that “This one is sure to ruffle some feathers” disclaimer?

    It’s cause this is a @YN list. Someone YEARS deep in the game and picking shitty music to force feed viewers.

    Labels must pay him great.

  2. THE TRUTH says:

    Wow – this guy Elliot Wilson really has bad taste.

    Didn’t he used to work for some well known hip-hop magazines?

  3. Coops says:

    All 5 of these songs suck….

    2013 sucks according to this list… but I stay bumping Pusha T and Joe Budden…

    Fck… the Pusha & Wale joint be the best song of 2013 so far.

  4. Real-Talk says:

    Bitches Love Me is by far the best track of 2013

  5. Willie Hozay says:

    OMG a 42 year old man who listens to that sort of music lol and of course he got his MMG promotion in as usual

  6. JEEZY THE GOD OF TRAP says:

    RIP WE JUST KILLED THA CLUB

  7. LuxuryRap says:

    Nah, Wayne realized his verses in 2012 sucked and he started actually thinking about his lyrics again

  8. LuxuryRap says:

    Here’s my Top 5 List of 2013

    1. RIP
    2. Love Me
    3. Doesn’t Matter – Pusha T & French Montana
    4. Started from the Bottom
    5. Suit & Tie

  9. DJ Game says:

    You are in your 40s and this is your opinion? Awful!

  10. Reef says:

    Pointless ass topic. Future in 3 out of the 5 songs.

  11. Throne says:

    This was the worst the truth by far. Only “Love Me” belongs there.

  12. Jimmy says:

    this guy doesn’t know music

  13. Bryan Traini says:

    Call me to debate this list 301 395 5338

  14. JD says:

    I don’t usually like challenging other folks’ personal opinions on music (you like what you like), but the fact that the same artist is on 3 out of 5 of these songs kinda shows that YN didn’t cast very wide of a net when looking to compile this list.

  15. hmmm says:

    what about anything from asaps album? or joe buddens album? cough skeletons cough…

  16. DMVinyourchick says:

    Shitty ass list, only good song was BAD

    @bryan traini What part of MD u from

  17. [...] February, but like always, there’s a never ending stream of new music being released daily. Rap Radar’s Elliott Wilson counts down the hottest tracks of 2013 in the latest installment of his “The Truth” [...]

  18. BBGUN says:

    I just can’t enjoy auto tune. I feel like my ears are fucked, everyone seems to love this future/autotune music but I just can’t get in to it.

  19. Fried Chicken says:

    Elliott included Lil Wayne on his list… since when lol? No Jay Z, Rick Ross and Kanye West? What going on here lol. This might actually be a good year…

  20. THE MAJESTIC NIGLET says:

    this man and his truths smh fuck outta here you wrinkled scrotum you aint a prophet nigga!

  21. Da truf says:

    I dunno if yall heard Killa Cam’s joint ” You Know This “. That beat is hot as hell

  22. Chris says:

    I can’t believe people like that Wale joint. The epitome of corny, IMO. The tape has some bangers (like the Ross joint), but that one ain’t it.

  23. Your Father says:

    Holy shit. YN should donate his ears to science. Clearly ain’t using them right.

  24. Devante says:

    Smh weak list… That Justin Timberlake record might be one of the biggest records this year and you didn’t even acknowledge it.

  25. The Narrator says:

    This dude is clearly fucking with me.

  26. Chris says:

    BTW, some of the best 2013 songs to me

    - Lil Wayne “Rich As Fuck” ft. 2 Chainz (better than the Mike Will joint)
    - Young Jeezy “R.I.P.” ft. 2 Chainz
    - Joe Budden “Off 2 The Races”
    - A$AP Rocky “1 Train”
    - Pusha T “Trust”
    - Nickelus F “15″ ft. Drake
    - Raekwon “New Day” ft. Freddie Gibbs
    - Joell Ortiz “Brooklyn In The Building”

  27. Javito_1 says:

    This dude ain’t mention “LVL” by A$ap so he obviously doesn’t know what the the fuck he’s talking about.

  28. watup says:

    Old head shut up

  29. windycityg72 says:

    Major Distribution one of the top tracks in 13′ 50, Snoop, Jeezy

  30. JustMyOpinion says:

    I can’t stand ANY song WITH auto-tune. I don’t care how hot it “sound.”

    @ YN I need Truth: Will rappers stop using auto-tune.

    We’re only 38 days into the new year we have “hot tracks of 2013.” Smh

  31. watup says:

    ^^^^^ cosign @windycity.

    Juelz feat yo gotti juelz feat wiz juelz feat lloyd banks>>>>>better than most of those songs he just mentioned

  32. wtfisgoingon says:

    Dam man talk about horrible taste, lol he just follows whats popular

  33. jsjak says:

    I don’t have a problem with party songs but dude you’re 40, class up your taste a little bit.

  34. boom says:

    wtf, its only been a month n fuck this list! none of these jams are in my ipod or in my whip’s playlist!

    Wale got a couple of bangers on that Folarin tape tho, I’m still bumpin Fab’s soultape 2, Lloyd Banks’ V6(damn shame that lazy nigga havent shot any videos). in 2013 I’m lookin for Jeezy, 50 n J Cole!

  35. Black Chalk says:

  36. dickinyamom says:

  37. Chris says:

    LOL @ not one person on his own friggin site co-signing YN’s awful picks.

  38. The Real Truth says:

    Elliott wants Drake to smash…..

  39. The "Real" Truth says:

    Elliot Wilson is the biggest dick sucker I’ve ever seen. Y’all people working with him ain’t sayin nothin. Y’all yea men or something? What the fuck is this. Ruffle some feathers?!? Fuck that this is the last time I’m ever on this site, this USED to be reputable but that yellow nigga just de me blow my top. Suit and tie is miles ahead of anything on this list but u got future nd lil Wayne? Real talk Elliot, I don’t know what u doin but its not cute not amusing and u bringing the the value and integrity of this site. Stop sayin you from queens cuz u ain’t reppin nd niggas out here don’t guck wit u especially now. I used to love this site but I’m stickin to sohh and all hip hop from now on. Real talk, it’s people like u that destroy the game we love and I’d slap the shit out u if I saw u in person. So when u see a fan approaching hope it’s not me

  40. jesus says:

    what a joke lmao worse 5 songs of the yr .. awlful.. future is garbage

  41. The "Real" Truth says:

    This pop paydar ass site. Who the fuck u think u are. Picking the absolute worse songs u cud find? What are they paying u? Future doesn’t rap he sings over auto tune. U think u jus can say whateva nd people gonna listen? Hip hop fans ain’t stupid.what the guck is the point of this truth segment. U ain’t said the truth one time. U never say what people REALLY think. ” oh well maybe we shud jus listen to it instead of judge the music. FUCK THAT. This is hip hop if ya shit whack niggas tell u till you get your shit tight. That’s y the game so mediocre now. Bitches like u don’t hold artist accountable u jus kiss ass whenever they wanna fart and call it a single. SERIOUS QUESTION. Which of these songs can u listen to years from now nd still enjoy. There isn’t any classic music anymore. No replay value.niggas can say I’m stuck in the 90s but guess what. Everybody STILL bumps those songs. Y’all ain’t gonna be jammin to more than half this BS next year. Classics live forever. Scared of the future in more way then one

  42. Scrilla(MTV's hottest MC's in the game, Jeezy in 1st place) says:

    The title says hottest not best

  43. The "Real" Truth says:

    Elliot Wilson Just SHUT THE FUCK UP. This site a lot better when I didn’t have to hear or see u. Go play in the background and maybe let Big HOmie handle it cuz you way the fuck outta touch. U should be ashamed 40 something years old and this is ya list? U a grown man dude. U need to evaluate your life your image and the image of this site. It’s one thing that u barley show underground love but whatever that’s your choice u wanna cover mainstream by all mean more power to u. But u cover the garbage

  44. Biggavellidadeli718boyZ says:

    drake is NOT from the bottom , and elliot wilson STOP[ cock riding drake PLEASE, you like anything drake does shit is super average, PUSHA T is the truth, fuck this lil actor from canada

  45. Hiphoplives says:

    Can’t believe you didn’t include Joey Bada$$ Unorthodox!
    Then again, this site is main stream biased.
    It’s a lot of underground heavy hitters ya’ll ignore. Some not really too underground either.
    Thank god there is hiphopdx.com and 2dopeboyz.com that be postin them raw joints

  46. DoinTooMuch says:

    No Jeezy? SMH Forgot this was mmg radar tho.

  47. ELLIOTWILSONISDUMB says:

    this dude is a moron, he’s old as shit for one and two he out of 4 out of 5 songs he chose were trash..I mean they all are trash but at least one of them you can grind on a bitch to and smack her ass. He must have a gas ass crush on Future because out of all the recording artists out right now he chose him for the majority of the songs

  48. HIIIPOWER says:

    lil wayne is the star on love me???? damn I’m a wayne fan and the hook is phenomenal, but weezys verses are some of the worst I’ve ever heard….smh…major distribution should’ve madde the cut too…

  49. ECU says:

    “2013 Hottest Tracks So Far” = “2013 Shittest Tracks So Far”
