Here is my Top 50 REAL Hip-Hop songs for the first 6 months of 2013. Only songs released from January 1st to June 31st are eligible for the list. So all of JulyΓÇÖs and AugustΓÇÖs releases were not considered here. The list is, of course, very subjective to my personal tastes. And itΓÇÖs been a great year for Hip-Hop ΓÇö so there is a LOT of great Hip-Hop that I was forced to leave off the list. I hope you enjoy.
