Best Hip Hop Songs of 2011 | Yeti Style

1. Killer Mike - "Burn"

Came out early in 2011 and nobody topped it since.

2. Blueprint - "Radio Inactive"

Blueprint's rebirth in 2011 was an awesome surprise. He's basically been touring all year, but an album this good needs that kind of treatment.

3. Kendrick Lamar - Hiii Power

2011 was definitely Kendrick Lamar's year. One of the few runaway success stories in hip hop that was 100% deserved and awesome.

4. Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire ft. Despot, Das Racist, Danny Brown, EL-P - The Last Huzzah

Add Necro on the beat and this is just an overdose of good things. Video of the year finalist, too.

5. Open Mike Eagle - Dishes

His album Rappers Will Die of Natural Causes was Top 5 material. This cat is a serious talent.

6. Blu ft. Edan - Ronald Morgan

Holy shit. I don't know if No York even technically came out yet but damn, what an album.

7. Ka - Cold Facts

Came from out of nowhere, now has my full attention based on this flawless song.

8. Nas - Nasty

Easy.

9. Zilla Rocca ft. Has-Lo - Full Spectrum

Powerful song, breathing new life into a classic concept over an exceptional Dr. Quandary beat.

10. P.L.O. - The Heat (American Language Remix) feat. Has-Lo, Zilla Rocca & Curly Castro

Facemelter. Yeah, this is the same artists twice in a row, but this song has been in heavy rotation.
