Happy Thanksgiving! Here’s 30+ songs about being thankful!
Thanksgiving is a great time of the year to give thanks for all of the things that you value in life. Often times outsiders equate hip-hop with a glamorous and frivolous lifestyle, but the biggest names in rap are often speaking about gratitude. This Thanksgiving – I wanted to assemble a playlist of songs where rappers express their thankfulness in their own ways!
Giving Thanks Playlist:
Tracklist
The Giving Thanks Playlist features a little bit of everything! Songs like Ariana Grande’s thank u, next and Earth, Wind, & Fire’s Gratitude aren’t exactly hip-hop, but they are undeniably on theme. The playlist starts with Snoop Dogg, who released an entire album titled I Wanna Thank Me, but then pivots into some of the biggest names in rap – Ye, Wale, Tyler, the Creator, and Drake to name a few.
We’ve included some new school artists like bbno$ and Armani White, but also tip our cap to the old school with Goodie Mob, Beanie Sigel, and the Beastie Boys. Of course no Thanksgiving playlist is complete without GREENS BEANS POTATOES – the viral classic.
