Without exaggeration, close to half of all of the hardest bars this year are from Ave's rounds. How fast he has risen and the consistently great performances he's had put him there and nobody comes close. His two PGs were technically in 2015, and last year I even (hilariously in retrospect) said he wouldn't get far, but if Ave feels like a 2016 sensation and if counts he's unequivocally the rookie of the year. There are a lot of good contenders for this all for different reasons that I wouldnt't be mad at: Ave, Cortez, Thesaurus, JC, Gjonaj, Iron Solomon, Rum Nitty, QP (from what I hear). Getting shots at and either having a debatable or outright beating Math Hoffa & Tsu Surf in addition to embarassing Magic/Chilla and Arsonal/Suge. He's been having a year most MCs dream of. For me, T-Top's year has signified a changing of the guards. Overall, while I feel like there a TON of exceptional performances or moments this year, as far as overall great, all-around rewatchable rap battles goes, there weren't as many as last year or other years.
I've also missed quite a few battles this year, namely from people like QP, JC, DNA, A.Ward, Carter Deems, Head I.C.E., Real Deal, Soul, Raptor, and Xcel.
Last year when I did this, I went back, rewatched everything again and put a lot of effort into ordering things but I don't have that kind of time anymore so this is mostly based off of reading my own posts in this thread over the year and I'm only really solid about the top 4 TBH.
