Since 2016 began, hip-hop has been gifted with solid releases from the likes of Kanye West, Drake and Kendrick Lamar, among others. The year as a whole looks to be a memorable one for hip-hop heads. With the vast amount of rap music in today’s digital era, not only have fans received songs with noteworthy lyrics, but there’s also been an abundance of tracks with disappointing rhymes -- the kind that will have you shaking your head in disbelief.

Terrible rap lyrics are nothing new in hip-hop. In fact, the genre is even more plagued these days by careless rappers who worry more about money and fame than the actual art and culture of hip-hop. Even the biggest and best rappers of today have had their mishaps when it comes to their rhymes.

Regardless, hip-hop is a genre that has a little bit of everything for its listeners and that's certainly been the case in 2016. Whether it's intelligent raps, turn-up music, trap anthems or Caribbean-influenced songs, the genre is getting more mainstream love than its ever had in the past. Drake usually comes correct with his rhymes, but even the 6 God has his off days. Then there's Tyga, who doesn't help himself very much with a very questionable line about young women.
