Does anyone take these lists seriously?

It's just fodder for journalists to make easy work for themselves.

I would be more interested to see by the numbers what the actual top 10 would be.

As for Alright It's a decent song, best of the streaming era? Not for me personally.

Considering how bittersweet the BLM movement has become.

 

[Westbama Heartthrob]

It's a great choice

Considering dot was flowing his ass off in a way most rappers couldn't come close to

And also because of its significance to the blm movement

It's a cultural milestone. Glad to have been there in real time to see it's impact
