8. Juicy J
Curren$y – “Three 60”
New Jet City
(Jet Life Recordings/Warner)
Juicy J is an enigma. After being in the game for twenty years, you’d think that even someone as energetic and relentless as the former Three 6 Mafia frontman would run out of breath. You’d be wrong. The Oscar award-winning rapper (yes, you read that right), has worked with everyone from Justin Timberlake to Mac Miller, and on this occasion, there’s no denying him. Tangoing with the Cardo instrumental in unorthodox ease, Juicy J delivers one of the better verses of the latter half of his career, stealing the show away from Curren$y‘s critically-acclaimed nonchalance. If there were ever a verse that simply made a song, this should be on that list.
