| Year Released | 2016 |
| Album | Rawwest Alive |
Tyga always goes hard, but this particular piece has insanely hard bass lines and beat drops that are genre-leading and speaker-destroying. Just a few seconds in is all you need to get your dose of speaker-slamming heart-pumping beats.
67. Dior by Pop Smoke
| Genre | Rap, Hip Hop, Drill |
| Year Released | 2020 |
| Album | Meet The Woo 2 |
“Pop Smoke” is an absolute slammer in the beat and bass department. The vocals and lyrics are artfully crafted and unique in their own right but let’s be honest, the beat drops and bass lines are what make this modern rap song a party staple.
68. A Milli by Lil Wayne
| Genre | Rap, R&B, Hip Hop |
| Year Released | 2008 |
| Album | Tha Carter III |
In need of something to utterly destroy your new subwoofers? Perhaps something to get the party bouncing? An absolute slammer to jam within the car? “A Milli” became an absolute legend in the extremely rich bass-infused rap world and has equal clout in the club and bar scene.
69. Love Sosa by Chief Keef
| Genre | Hip Hop, Drill, Rap |
| Year Released | 2012 |
| Album | Finally Rich |
2012 was an epic time period for experiencing modern and clean levels of dense and strong bass lines, and “Love Sosa” really dug deep to explore and exemplify that excellence. You won’t get much of a unique story from the lyrics, not that Chief Keef isn’t a talented rapper in his own right, but the primary love for this song originates from its ability to push the audio equipment to its limits and bounce bass off of every surface in the club.
70. Turn Down by Rittz
| Genre | Rap, Hip Hop |
| Year Released | 2014 |
| Album | Next To Nothing (Deluxe Edition) |
Rittz introduced “Turn Down” in 2014 during an era of epic speaker-slamming bass lines, and the track did not disappoint even among a sea of options. The sound of his music is unique and refreshing in a time period when a lot of the best bass lines were relegated to the mumble rap genre. Rittz incorporated artful and interesting storytelling via his rap capabilities while the tune absolutely obliterates the bass ranges of subwoofers.
