As much as I'd like to give more credit to Weezy F .Baby for the work he does and the influence he has, when it comes to hip hop (and even Young Money Records for that matter), my allegiance has to go with Drake. Drizzy released some pretty sick stuff this year and even though I really like a lot of the hip hop that came over the past 12 months, Drake stood out for me as the year's best in this category.
