Your Favorite Artists Name Their Favorite Songs of 2015 (Part One)

Earlier this month, we released our Best Songs and Best Albums of 2015 lists, respectively.

As usual, these year-end lists get people charged up. How could we put Rae Sremmurd's Sremmlife at No. 3 on our list?! Do they even write their own rhymes?! Where's the real hip-hop?! So, in light of all the surrounding controversy of the lists we argue over for weeks, we had an idea: ask the artists.

What did Future spend his year listening to besides his three incredible mixtapes and two chart-topping albums? What does Tinashe like to listen to in bed? And who does Jadakiss wish he collaborated with this year? Here's part one (of five installments) of your favorite artists listing their favorite songs of 2015 and why.

The Internet, "Under Control"

"Literally stopped thinking about the bullshit when I heard that track. Made me feel lifted."

Kali Uchis, "Rush"

"Kali has one of those fresh voices that were made to make you feel good, put on your baddest outfit and head out the door into the night."

Lxury & LA Priest, "Show"

"A song from two of my favourite music makers at the moment. This tune has the most amazing bounce to it complete with literally bells and whistles. Also, that bass."

Mac DeMarco, "Chamber of Reflection"

"Only because I didn't know music in 2015 could sound so good."

Bryson Tiller, "Exchange"

"Sonically it sounds nostalgic, and it gives you the ultimate 'feels.'"

Tame Impala, "The Less I Know, the Better"

"It's almost impossible to be upset when that song is on."

Fetty Wap, "Trap Queen"

"Because I heard it 200 times a day. Big up Fetty Wap."

The Weeknd, "The Hills"

"That shit goes too hard."

Earl Sweatshirt f/ Wiki, "AM//RADIO"

"The song is as real as it gets."

Young Thug f/ Migos and PeeWee Longway, "Quarterback"

"The greatest trap song of 2015. From the beat, to the hook, to the verses, that shit just goes together perfectly."

Drake, "Energy"

"One of my 2015 favorites! I'm an energy person and feel hella drained when surrounded by the wrong energy."

Future, "Trap Niggas"

"My favorite song of the year was Future's 'Trap Niggas.' It was my turn up song when I would be in the club."

Liss, "Try"

"It's definitely the most exciting track I've heard all year. I love that it sounds incredibly nostalgic and absolutely modern all at once. It's a brilliant combination and I can't wait to hear more from them or get to see them live."

2 Milly, "Milly Rock"

"It makes people dance—and I support hood niggas worldwide."

Logic, The Incredible True Story

"My favorite artist of 2015 is Logic. Dude has no radio singles. None! He makes music for himself and his fans only. Fuck the rest. And he still kicked in the door this year with a No. 1 album."

Future, “Real Sisters”

"'Real Sisters' by Future is obviously the best song that came out this year. Maybe Thundercat’s 'Lone Wolf and Cub' can be a close second, but I gotta go 'Real Sisters' just because words have never sounded so real together before that song."

Young Pappy, "Fuck Nigga"

"I could relate to it a lot. I could feel his passion without even meeting him and had this playing for three months straight."

Bryson Tiller, "Don't"

"It's my favorite song to have sex to!"

MURA MASA, "Lovesick Fuck"

"2015 was a really great year for music, but at the moment, nothing sticks out more to me than 'Lovesick Fuck' by MURA MASA."

Ed Sheeran, "Thinking Out Loud"

"He's someone I want to work with. That song is knockin!"

Giraffage, “Tell Me (GTA Remix)”

"The EDM vs. 'underground' culture war of 2015 is just as corny as the backpack rap battles of my teens. Good music is good music, and it’s a shame the dance world’s self-segregating pockets don’t try to learn from one another more. It’d mean more tracks like this one, where festival kings GTA crank Giraffage’s dial-up Internet love song into a rave-ready endorphin rush and true middle finger to genre."

Future, "March Madness"

"It does something to me. I really like it."

Young Thug f/ Gucci Mane, "Again"

"By Alex Tumay. Haaa haaaaaa, eet."
