Weekend Kickoff Nov 2016
Thirty-one tracks of the November 2016 Weekend Kickoff rotation — the late-fall edition leaning hard into the year’s peak hip-hop deep-cuts run, locked in the week of the A Tribe Called Quest comeback-album release. Tribe anchor the legacy hip-hop spine, with the ‘We Got It from Here’ release-week-tied peaks driving the rotation through the back half of the month; Anderson .Paak brings the post-‘Malibu’ year-end peaks that defined his breakout year; Mos Def carries the underground-rap legacy bridge that grounded the run in the genre’s lineage; The Pharcyde close the run with the West-Coast underground-’90s anchor. The November 2016 working-rotation, intact and weighted toward the year’s most-played hip-hop catalog.
