Top Tracks October 19- October 25
Running down HNHH's top 10 tracks for the
week of October 19 - 25.
10. Lil Wayne - Pour Up
This Weezy leak continues to amass more
hype, even though we can't find it anywhere
on the web -- back into Birdman's vault, I
suppose. Now in its fourth week, the lean-
inspired zero-fucks-given anthem managed
to grab the final spot in the top 10.
Weezy would be wise to have " Pour Up " as his
next single, though that's easier said than
done.
9. DJ Khaled Feat. Future, Boosie Badazz,
Rick Ross & Jeezy - I Ride (Prod. by Reazy
Renegade)
Last week, Khaled had 3 in the top 5. Even
though he dropped I Changed a Lot this week,
we had already heard most of the album's
biggest tracks, and he was only able to get 1
track in the top 10, snagging the 9 spot with "I
Ride."
Nonetheless, " I Ride " is a new entry, and it's
the type of hybrid club/street anthem that
Khaled does best. We get impassioned verses
from all four Southern all-stars and a nasty
beat from Reazy Renegade, our latest subject
on Behind the Beat .
8. Rick Ross - Sorry (Prod. by Scott Storch)
" Sorry " has proven to be an undeniable hit for
Rozay and a killer collab all around. Brown
really lets his heartstrings show on the hook
and the buoyant production is Storch's best
work in years.
7. Wiz Khalifa - Just Because (Prod. by Harry
Fraud)
While touring with A$AP Rocky in Europe, Wiz,
while taking full advantage of the coffee
shops, decided to let loose two new tracks --
both seemingly unfinished, which is
disappointing considering how good he
sounds during the one verse he raps on each
track.
" Just Because " is a melodic, blissful collab
with Harry Fraud, who needs to have a spot
on Rolling Papers 2 .
6. Kanye West - When I See It (Tell Your
Friends Alternate Mix)
Finally some new music from 'Ye. This week,
the unpredictable icon created a new
soundcloud page with two tracks listed. The
first happened to be a demo of The Weeknd's
"Tell Your Friends," which 'Ye produced and
contributed backing vocals to.
Yeezy's version, dubbed " When I See It ," isn't
quite as polished, but "Tell Your Friends" is
Kanye's sound, and he's been able to keep
these cinematic love ballads sounding fresh
since MBDTF .
5. Wiz Khalifa - Outsiders (Prod. by Big Jerm
& Christo)
" Outsiders" is the other track Wiz generously
gave his fans, making its debut at No. 6. The
new leaks are more laid-back and
introspective than Wiz' recent chart-topping
bangers. Again, Wiz only gets through one
verse, but there's nothing wrong with letting
the beautiful instrumental from Big Jerm and
Christo play out for a couple more minutes.
4. Young Thug - No Joke (Prod. by
Chopsquad & Metro Boomin)
This lineup has banger written all over it.
Though his antics are as silly as ever, his
ability to tear up the club is " No Joke " at all.
Coming with more power than the electric
chair, Thugga's new leak with Chopsquad and
Metro Boomin had a huge debut, hitting No. 4
in its first week. Let's hope this leads to more
CHI x ATL production collabs.

3. Wale - New Phone
While he was the target of another Meek Mill
social media fail, Wale released 4 new tracks
this week. " New Phone " is definitely his best
work since TAAN , and it boasts some serious
poetics from the MMG rapper.
Y'all ever wonder why Wale gets so much
hate? Well, there's really no good reason, but
Wale provides us with his own insight:
"N*ggas tell me that I'm Hollywood / But y'all
the same n*ggas that used to say that I
probably wouldn't..."
2. Kanye West Feat. Caroline Shaw - Say You
Will
" Say You Will " was the more significant of
Kanye's two surprise drops, though it's just a
remix -- but a mighty good one of 808s &
Heartbreak 's opening track. The remix
features significant contributions and
haunting backing vocals from New York-
based contemporary composer Caroline
Shaw. It doesn't necessarily mean SWISH is
anywhere close, but it signals that Kanye can
still release stunning material at moment's
notice.
1. Wiz Khalifa - Most of Us (Prod. by ID Labs)
Though " Most of Us" got off to a slower start
than "King of Everything," his other recent
booming collab with ID Labs, it's now risen to
the top spot in its second week. Everything
Wiz touches these days, even those
unfinished tracks listed above, goes right up
the charts. He's making it look too easy, and
he's surely gonna leave a dent in the game
whenever he decides to drop Rolling Papers
