Welcome to the Booth’s Top Hip Hop and R&B Chart! As always, your feedback has determined which songs made the cut. Each chart’s lineup is calculated using a special DJBooth.net Formula that takes into account member ratings and reviews as well as features’ overall popularity.
Dr. Dre‘s “Kush” debuts on top this week, pushing Nicki Minaj‘ “Roman’s Revenge” to second and Rihanna‘s “What’s My Name” all the way to sixth. Also debuting in our Top Hip Hop and R&B lineup are Michael Jackson‘s “Hold My Hand” (#4), and Jay Electronica‘s “Shiny Suit Theory” (#12).
