The top hip-hop songs of 2013 list was compiled using the Billboard Rap Songs chart—and a bit of creative license. Billboard doesn’t keep a year-to-date tally of the top hip-hop songs, so we started the inventory with the three rap hits that have reached No. 1 in 2013. We filled the other seven slots with tunes that have been in the charts for much of 2013, flirting with the top spot.
