i actually missed a couple here, the list i looked through seemed to exclude diamond singles with curse words in the title for some reason 😭 so here’s my tier ranking for those: XXXTENTACION & Trippie Redd “F*** Love” - C tier JAY-Z & Kanye West “N***** In Paris” - A tier
@@joshuacollins3729its literally impossible lmao. There is years if not decades worth of rap just listening to if he were to listen to every single rap song ever made. Thats not even taking into account him ranking it.
@kushalsharma707 singers and r&b artist ,( with the exception of people like drake and Chris brown who did both) people apparently forgot the difference between a rapper and an r&b singer
Ngl "Life is good" is one of those "you listened to it in a specific time of your life now that song is iconic to you" type of song for me, i always remember the pre pandemic days when listening to it 😊
Pursuit of hapiness is my favourite song on the list. His kind of lazy/depressed vocal delivery works with the song imo. Its a very unique voice (nobody can hum like him xd)
One thing I love about what Post Malone did for the “Diamond Collection” compilation album is how quick him or his team made it. Slapping an unused version of the Twelve Carot Toothache cover.
Here’s a fun fact: for Wedding Anniversaries and Jubilees for Monarchs Diamond corresponds to 60th Anniversary while Platinum corresponds to 70th Anniversary which implies that Platinum is better. However for album sales: platinum is for 1 million sales and Diamond is for 10 million, implying Diamond is better.
Man on the moon is my favorite album ever, so c tier hurt my soul. Still, even though it is the best song on the tier list, I still respect your opinion. Edit: my dmubass forgot to mention I was talking about Pursuit of Happiness
I always wondered why “Can’t Hold Us” was so big, because I thought I’d never heard it before. Then I heard the snippet of the hook here and the nostalgia hit me, I never realised it was that song. Nor did I know that song was Macklemore.
@@CDTVProductions Now that’s going to be an even bigger video, Don’t quote me on this but even though the amount is small, I know that at least three of them are double albums; All Eyez On Me, Life After Death and Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
3:09 i feel this way about alooooot of music from the 2010’s because it was on the radio 24/7 back then, but when you haven’t heard them in years alot of these songs are genuinely good
First half: songs that were on radio 24/7 and you couldn't avoid them Second half: songs I barely ever heard It's quite evident how American rap became much less appealing to international audiences in the past few years tbh
The way you talked about Life is Good is my exact opinion on it too, used to like it but it kept popping up on shuffle to the point that I removed it from my playlist
Having listened to Mail on Sunday recently.... yeah, I can confirm Flo Rida on his first record is has a weird kind of personality to him. It's kinda like Migos in a way when you listen to their first studio album compared to the Culture trilogy.
The music video version of Can't Hold Us is so much better than the radio version and it's the reason I've never grown tired of it. It has an amazing intro, an entire extra bridge and a great outro and it enhances the song so damn much that I never got tired because every time it got played on the radio or on spotify, only thing I could think of was how much I wanted to listen to the good version. It's lowkey a travesty that spotify doesn't have it, but in a way I'm glad for that as it meant this song never wore out on me.
It's kinda crazy to see how despite all of the songs having over 10 million streams, some seem much more overplayed than others. I guess due to some songs being forced onto our ears during their time in the spotlight idk.
Units sold and streams are not equal at all (idk how many streams makes a unit sold but Ik it’s quite a bit of streams)… but yea it’s kinda interesting in that regard Tho a lot of the newer ones feel less over played to me and I think thts cuz now tht everything is more focused on streaming (Spotify, Apple Music, etc..) I can just pick the songs I wanna listen to instead of hearing the song over and over on the radio
Life Is Good is an interesting case is not only is one of the only few diamond songs from this decade but it is the first big hit from this decade, released in a very weird time, as it was released mere months before the pandemic. I don't know if its a C because I do get somewhat nostalgic towards it due to the time it released, and it will be a while until we get another diamond from this decade Also, the fact that Life is Good became diamond before Mask Off is insane
Hey man i always respect your opinions and i understand music is objective but i cannot believe that C for POH by Cudi. One of my all time favourites in any Genre. Im not even mad just sad for you that you dont get the same enjoyment from it as me.
Honestly, Cudis voice is the biggest thing stopping me from becoming a stan. I love his sound and his writing style. I'd recommend Another Day. Its easily my favorite song of his, the instrumental boosts his vocal performance so nicely. And that hook. On god. Butterly smooth.
Bar for bar is better than pursuit of happiness, and most rather listen to an upbeat uplifting song than something depressing and slow🤷♂️ the production is better too
ngl sicko mode in B is crazy, that song is insane and easily S for me, one of those rare songs that feels like it should be as popular as it is even with all the switch ups and stuff that you wouldnt generally here in a lot of mainstream music, especially for a song THAT big
I got so tired of hearing those Recovery songs everywhere in 2010-2012. They're fine I was just too much of a hipster at the time, and they were in very heavy rotation.
Don't know if it's just me, but I never get sick of hearing Can't Hold Us or even See You Again.Even though the reason why I wasn't sick of Can't Hold Us is because I used to listen to classical music or opera like Beethoven and Ludwig, so I never listen to the radio when I was little outside of maybe starting 2014-2015 so that's probably why.Still don't be sick of Hotline Bling and See You Again though, those songs give me too much nostalgia of the old times.
It must be that I was 17 at the time but I hateeeeeeed Not Afraid (still do) and what it spawned when it came to white rappers trying to copy that sound but I respect it for the subject matter. Great tier list overall !
17:24 I had to dig up my iTunes history for this but I bought the album when I was a HS sophomore... First album I bought, and the first one I've bought with my own $.
i actually missed a couple here, the list i looked through seemed to exclude diamond singles with curse words in the title for some reason 😭 so here’s my tier ranking for those:
XXXTENTACION & Trippie Redd “F*** Love” - C tier
JAY-Z & Kanye West “N***** In Paris” - A tier
Buddies in Paris
Who was in Paris CDTV
I love that Kanye & Jay-Z track! By the way, for us white guys it's called FELLAS in Paris
@Tynal Fellas In France
Damn f*** love a C tier really?why tho 🤔🧐
Can’t wait for Every rap song ever made tier list
Every guitar strum ever ranked from worst to best
@@shoreZoh god

That would definitely become his end of his career finale video idea

Pursuit of Happiness in C tier is CRAZY
i don’t hate the song or anything, but it’s one of those ones that just doesn’t click with me
macklemore over pursuit of happiness is absolutely insane
@@cullinan8087 ay man i gave my reasoning, it’s the Cudi vocals that just don’t do it for me a lot of the time
@@CDTVProductions your vocals don't do it for me a lot of the time 😡 /j
@@cullinan8087 crying now 🥲
Very brave of you to put NAV’s entire discography in the S tier. The reason it went diamond is because NAV is the greatest musician ever
Thank you, very cool!
How certified are Lemonade and Champions rn
NAV isn’t the greatest musician ever
he’s the greatest *person* ever
he’s the greatest organism to ever exist, dead or alive
Ive been a fan for like 4 years and this is the most consistent youve ever been in that timespan, i used to pray for times like this plz keep it up
The Cudi ratings are blasphemy bro and I'll never forgive you for it, 10/10 video.
Cudi is very hit or miss cause not everybody wants to listen to depressing music
@@3nim3nimabl3I know that nobody asked, but I personally don't like his voice
No way
Jack Frost
that 2017/2018 era of XO tour Llif3 will NEVER be replicated imo, just an unforgettable era of modern rap music
I'd throw 2016 in there too
I genuinely dont understand how yall like it tbh the quality pre 2015 was so much better every "rapper" just singing
@@3tymologywho was singing pre 2015

Pursuit Of Happiness is S Tier, no more arguments. The disrespect is CRAZY
pursuit of happiness in c is crazy
new cdtv video：💃🏻
kid cudi disrespect：🥊

To be fair....
Maaaaan. Pursuit Of Happiness is one of the most flawless songs ever.
Ngl "Life is good" is one of those "you listened to it in a specific time of your life now that song is iconic to you" type of song for me, i always remember the pre pandemic days when listening to it 😊
For me XO tour life makes the same sense
Ong
The Cudi slander gotta stop sometime, some of the songs over Pursuit of Happiness on here is just crazy.
Pursuit of hapiness is my favourite song on the list. His kind of lazy/depressed vocal delivery works with the song imo. Its a very unique voice (nobody can hum like him xd)
One thing I love about what Post Malone did for the “Diamond Collection” compilation album is how quick him or his team made it. Slapping an unused version of the Twelve Carot Toothache cover.
i still find it crazy to believe that macklemore has any diamond songs at all let alone two
You never fail to disappoint me with your music opinions
Here’s a fun fact: for Wedding Anniversaries and Jubilees for Monarchs Diamond corresponds to 60th Anniversary while Platinum corresponds to 70th Anniversary which implies that Platinum is better. However for album sales: platinum is for 1 million sales and Diamond is for 10 million, implying Diamond is better.
or maybe in wedding anniversaries platinum is later on cause it actually gets worse because of how fucking old you are
Yeah but music records are all metals. Diamonds are rocks not metal
@@avacadomangobanana2588 what does that have to do with anything
Lollipop was one of the Lil Wayne songs I could not stop listening too when I was younger. Its too catchy
It was so ahead of the time
Still one of the worst Wayne tracks tho 😢
The synth lead for the chorus is so good.
Man on the moon is my favorite album ever, so c tier hurt my soul. Still, even though it is the best song on the tier list, I still respect your opinion.

Lately I've been in love with your videos, so I am very thankful for this upload. Hope to see you stay this productive in a future as now
Needed this upload after my Turntable died on me today. RIP my LP120.
damn bro sorry to hear about that, RIP to the turntable 😔🙏🏻
Crazy mid 2010s so many hit songs were Emo/rap or depression focused such as Logics biggest hit
And look how many lives that mid depression focused song saved.
Now I want to see the ranking of the Diamond Rap albums
definitely wanna do that at some point!
@@CDTVProductions Now that’s going to be an even bigger video, Don’t quote me on this but even though the amount is small, I know that at least three of them are double albums; All Eyez On Me, Life After Death and Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

Second half: songs I barely ever heard

I'm sorry but L take on pursuit of happiness
Crazy that lucid dreams went diamond but only peaked at #2
Pusuit of happiness atleast the og version didn’t even crack top 40 but still went diamond
Cant believe I saw Pursuit of Happiness in C, but glad to see it made up with Uzi at S
The way you talked about Life is Good is my exact opinion on it too, used to like it but it kept popping up on shuffle to the point that I removed it from my playlist
Cudi at a low C cut deep. IMO its a masterpiece. A+
Just saw ARTV do a video kinda like this a few days ago so I’m glad u sticking to just rap. Love your videos bro🔥
Having listened to Mail on Sunday recently.... yeah, I can confirm Flo Rida on his first record is has a weird kind of personality to him. It's kinda like Migos in a way when you listen to their first studio album compared to the Culture trilogy.
i still can’t believe that flo rida did the triplet flow before migos
Pursuit of Happiness in C tier makes me uncontrollably angry
Facts. I unfollowed after seeing this lol
these are dope unique video concepts that you don't see a lot.
The music video version of Can't Hold Us is so much better than the radio version and it's the reason I've never grown tired of it. It has an amazing intro, an entire extra bridge and a great outro and it enhances the song so damn much that I never got tired because every time it got played on the radio or on spotify, only thing I could think of was how much I wanted to listen to the good version.

Pursuit of happiness in the C tier??????????????????????????? What?

holy W that XO Tour Llif3 praise
where is panda by desiigner
it’s 5x platinum, still needs to do 5 million more units to be diamond in the US
pursuit of hapiness in C is just the wrong opinion
i literally listened to suber bass TODAY in the shower 😭
I loooove how you pronounce time as «tæyhm»
Lost me with that Pursuit of Happiness take bruh
One of my friends met Macklemore, Nice guy
mfw Pursuit of Happiness is literally my favorite song in the whole list

I don't know if its a C because I do get somewhat nostalgic towards it due to the time it released, and it will be a while until we get another diamond from this decade
Also, the fact that Life is Good became diamond before Mask Off is insane
I swear most of these songs became a meme at some point. “See you Again” being the best example
lost me at pursuit of happiness
absolutely no way did you do that to Pursuit of Happiness
I still dislike Low honestly. I don't even like T-Pain's Hook, and I love T-Pain. I imagine that sounds like blasphemy, but I don't care.
ngl putting macklemore's two diamond songs over hotline bling is actually crazy
Pursuit of happiness c is a horrific take
Crank That better be S tier
unfortunately Crank That is only 3x platinum 🥲
bro has i like it higher then pursuit of happiness.
Putting cudi in c tier really thru the whole list off for me
Fair to say no matter how good or bad the songs were, they all bring hella nostalgia💯
diamondsbewetonmywrist
scarred for life
Had to turn off putting Cudi in C below FloRida. Wtf
Pursuit Of Happinses might just be the best track on this list
This tier list made me realise how old I am.
Super Bass is a classic. I thought it would be a "rap" song when i clicked on it the first time when it released, but it's good.
We need more of these tier list dawg
I’m happy he clarified that it’s how he feels this year and not when they were made and played
Did anyone else finish this?
yoo lets go. i didnt know i wanted this list but i love it
Hey man i always respect your opinions and i understand music is objective but i cannot believe that C for POH by Cudi. One of my all time favourites in any Genre. Im not even mad just sad for you that you dont get the same enjoyment from it as me.
B Rabbit is literally just Eminem, the character is a self insert the movie is based on his own life
mostly, but there’s small differences and Lose Yourself refers to a couple things that only apply to Eminem but not B-Rabbit
It's funny that unforgettable is called what it is when it's the only one I don't remember ever hearing.
Rockstar has to be atleast low A and this is coming from someone who isnt a huge fan of this style of rap.
Stoney was NOT 2018 you’re bugging
oh shit idk why i made that mistake, i do know that but i had Congratulations written down as 2018 for some reason 😭
@@CDTVProductions goofy goober 😂
Next tier list better be ranking more rap album covers with Gunna, Gucci Mane, NBA Youngboy, Destroy Lonely, and Tom McDonald included
Are you trolling? Really hope you're trolling
Pursuit of happiness gets overrated
I disagree with so many of these opinions but I still gave it a like cause I enjoyed watching it :)

Thrift shop over pursuit of happiness💀

Most wild ahit ive ever seen online
Cardi B getting nothing less than a “good song” is a disgrace to the other artists on this list
because?
i love u dvdflatscreen but that sicko mode take made my tummy hurt 😭
In da club is now diamond certified. S tier.
Gentlemen in Paris is diamond also now .
Putting Juice WRLDS worst song above Travis Scott's best song was a bold choice.
ngl sicko mode in B is crazy, that song is insane and easily S for me, one of those rare songs that feels like it should be as popular as it is even with all the switch ups and stuff that you wouldnt generally here in a lot of mainstream music, especially for a song THAT big
The return of the king 🙏
Ballin is forever cursed
Graduation is the greatest album of all time
You should do some tier lists of different rappers catalogues
now the adultswim robot chicken skit i watched as a kid about b rabbit fits now and makes sense
I got so tired of hearing those Recovery songs everywhere in 2010-2012. They're fine I was just too much of a hipster at the time, and they were in very heavy rotation.
The only bad songs on here are
see you again
life is good
One dance
Unforgettable
Honestly not too bad for hip hop, mostly bangers
Don't know if it's just me, but I never get sick of hearing Can't Hold Us or even See You Again.Even though the reason why I wasn't sick of Can't Hold Us is because I used to listen to classical music or opera like Beethoven and Ludwig, so I never listen to the radio when I was little outside of maybe starting 2014-2015 so that's probably why.Still don't be sick of Hotline Bling and See You Again though, those songs give me too much nostalgia of the old times.
I love this man
Not a Kid Cudi fan? You’ve clearly never been depressed
(I’m kidding)
amazing video as always, but i gotta ask why didn't the other 5 diamond Post songs make the list? maybe to not over saturate the list with Post?
more so that i didn’t think they fall into the category of rap as much as the ones i included here
@@CDTVProductions that makes alot of sense

Okay so I have to ask is post Malone a rapper or a singer?
You deserve a neck slap for putting Pursuit of Happiness in C-tier
I don't even like Travis and Drake like that, but I'd put Sicko Mode higher
