Skillz Closes Off 2016 With His Annual ‘Rap Up’

If you’re a hip hop fan, chances are it doesn’t feel like the year is over until you listen to Skillz annual ‘Rap Up’. Well it’s December 31st and it’s time for that closure. Going in for 5 minutes, Skillz recaps the year’s biggest moments while sprinkling in his signature humour and witty lines. The track touches on everything from Pokemon Go and Snapchat to mumble rap, celebrity news, politics and everything in between. The list of quotables goes on but it’s the songs close that stands out the strongest, “More pros, less rookies
And if America’s ours, how we let it get grabbed by the pussy?/ They say I sound mad, off the cuff/ Oh, I sound mad?/ Y’all don’t sound mad enough/ So from here on out, we gotta set the tone/ Y’all protect yourself and protect your own/ And way too many people got called back home/ 2016 you can go, and I’m glad you’re gone/ Felt like a long bad dream/ I’m wishing you love and life, Welcome to 2017”
