Rap Genius has revealed the most-viewed songs and artists on its site in 2014. In terms of songs, the top spot went to Beyonce and Jay Z’s “Drunk In Love,” with Beyonce also grabbing the fifth spot for “Partition.” Eminem’s “Rap God” took second, most likely because he said a record-breaking amount of words in it. Bobby Shmurda’s “Hot Ni–a” took third, exploding to popularity in conjunction with his “Shmoney Dance” Fourth is Rich Gang’s “Lifestyle,” because no one has a clue what Young Thug is saying, ever.
As far as artists go, Drake was the most viewed, which, without even putting out a proper release last year, adds further confirmation that he is currently the most popular person in rap. Eminem, Beyonce, Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar all followed. Check out the full lists below.
