The moments you loved, the moments you wish never happened, and the moments that made 2016 a memorable year in hip-hop.

It should come to no one’s surprise that we are ready to say peace out to 2016 and try to forget all the negative news that plagued our Twitter timeline. We lost a legendary fighter- Muhammad Ali, ATCQ member Phife Dawg, intergalactic princess Carrie Fisher, the great actors Gene Wilder and Alan Rickman and two music icons who will forever be missed: David Bowie and Prince. Clinton lost the Presidential position to Trump. And then there’s the emotional roller coaster that Kanye West has been on for months. We just don’t know you anymore Ye, but that TLOP album was fire though. Amidst all the pain and sorrow we endured, there was always a break in the dark clouds. We saw the return of De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest, Dave Chappelle is still funny, an increase of urban television shows, and the world of fashion finally using hip-hop influences the right way. This is our 2016 in review, we’re looking back at the most memorable hip-hop moments that definitely deserve some respek.
