Worst Music Artists of 2018

Most of these artists aren't even worthy of being famous and just suck all together.
The Top Ten
1 6IX9INE Daniel Hernandez, known by his stage name 6ix9ine, also known as Tekashi69 or simply Tekashi, is an American rapper. He is mostly known for his legal issues, particularly his sexual crimes.

In 2015, Hernandez pleaded guilty to a felony count of use of a child in a sexual performance. However, he denied having any sexual contact with the girl. On February 1, 2019, he pleaded guilty to charges... read more

6ix9ine is the prime definition of what happens when the music industry decides to simply emphasize trends, popularity and favoritism over talent, hard-work and dedication. Not to mention that he has among the worst personalities out of any music artists I know, and considering such feats are also held by Varg Vikernes, Ian Watkins and GG Ailin, its quite the accomplishment.

His face is so bad it became cringeworthy. Now I thought Lil pump has better attire. (I am not judging by looks but basic requirements are still there.)
And "I fking tryway" What kind of lyrics is that...

His flow is so bad that you can't rap along to it because you're used to flowing like you're listening to a good song.

2 Post Malone Austin Richard Post (born July 4, 1995), known professionally as Post Malone, is an American singer, rapper, songwriter, record producer, and guitarist.

He one of the few artists this year who actually try different things with there music

I LOVE Post Malone. Get over it haters, this is the style of music now, and its lit!

Another generic "artist" producing generic "music".

He's not good. His music is 1/6. Complete Trash!

3 Lil Pump Gazzy Garcia (known professionally as Lil Pump, born August 17th, 2000) is an American rapper, producer and songwriter. Gazzy began his career in 2016 with a collaboration freestyle with Smokepurpp, which was eventually posted in Soundcloud to popular success. He broke out to mainstream the following year with an eponymous debut album and the hit single "Gucci Gang", which peaked at 3rd in the Billboard Hot 100 .

Gucci Gang is just a stereotypical rap song, where the phrase gucci gang is repeated over and over again. I haven't listened to any of his other songs, but they're probably trash as well.

He is amazing. His repetitive rap lines and catchy lyrics are simply legendary. (I'm being sarcastic here)

Lil Pump? Na...more like Lil Punk.

My aunty could rap better

4 Lil Yachty Miles Parks McCollum, known professionally as Lil Yachty, is an American rapper, singer and songwriter. Yachty first gained recognition in August 2015 for his singles "One Night" and "Minnesota" from his debut EP Summer Songs. He released his debut mixtape Lil Boat in March 2016.

Just complete garbage. You can't even understand a word he says! It's all so mumbly. Songs are sooo bad they make Tyga's worst look like fire.

First I've heard the name, but seems, and looks off putting based on reception/appearance.

Can't tell the difference between any of them, which is what makes all of them so awful.

5 Kodak Black Bill K. Kapri is an American rapper better known by his stage name Kodak Black. He is noted for his singles "Roll in Peace", "Tunnel Vision", and "No Flockin", as well as his numerous legal issues.

Definition of 0 talent, extremely trashy, annoying robotic voice that sounds like every other "TRASH" mumble rapper on the radio. How did he get a record deal? He has 0 flow too. He is probably the lousiest rapper I've ever heard!

He didn't make a single song this year. Still don't like him or his music.

HE MAKES BANGER BEATS! And this is coming from a metal head

6 Tyga Micheal Ray Stevenson, known by his stage name Tyga, is an American hip hop recording artist. In 2011, Tyga signed a recording contract with Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records and Republic Records.

Ugh, this guys appearance alone (he looks like a wannabe rapper and part time gangster) makes me gag, aside from his awful sexually pervasive rap songs!

Is he still making music?

Which gang is he from?

He's relevant?

7 Dj Khaled Khaled Mohamed Khaled, known professionally as DJ Khaled, is an American record producer, radio personality, DJ and record label executive.

Still don't know what he does, more than shouting in middle of songs

Dj Khaled. All he does is produce some beats and be an annoying pathetic hypebeast.

Me and Dj Khaled "we the best" at everything

8 Jojo Siwa Joelle Joni Siwa, also known as Jojo Siwa is an American dancer, singer, actress, and YouTuber. She joined the masked singer in 2020.

Her songs are so BAD. She can't rap or sing. Even autotune cannot fix her whiney, scratchy voice. I hate Jojo.

I hate her and her songs don't even have a point. Wait is she in kids bop though?

I hate Jojo for her bad songs and cringey bows but I've never heard her rap and there's a reason.

Who the hell is this? Some Youtuber? Please feature real artists on this list.

9 Cardi B Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar (born October 11, 1992), known professionally as Cardi B, is an American rapper. Born and raised in New York City, she became an Internet celebrity by achieving popularity on Vine and Instagram. From 2015 to 2017, she appeared as a regular cast member on the VH1 reality television series Love & Hip Hop: New York, which depicted her pursuit of her music aspirations. She... read more

Apart from being a trash rapper, she has no personality and doesn't stand out at all. Nicki Minaj might be annoying and trash too, but the one thing you could never say is that Nicki didn't have her own style or personality.

Overrated and annoying, and she has the voice of a female version of Squidward. She looks like an orange gothic stop sign in the above image lol. Oh well she isn't the absolute worst but still she is a bit annoying.

Discount Nicki Minaj, except while Nicki at least had some identity and stood out from the music crowd (Although not in a good way), Cardi B is just incredibly bland and has got nothing new to offer.

10 XXXTentacion Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy (January 23, 1998 - June 18, 2018), known professionally as XXXTentacion, and often referred to as X, was an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and criminal.

Overrated and overplayed. Everyone talks about him like he's the second coming of Jesus, even though his music was generic edgy, emo rap. He wasn't bad, but he only truly blew up because someone blew a cap into him and killed him.

This guy is only talked about and listened to by edgy emo Thrasher/Vans wearing teenagers who act like he is jesus or something. That's why I renamed him XXXDogBalls

Another stupid mumble rapper.Why isn't rap today as good as it was in the 90's and 2000's and I'm saying this as someone who was born in the mid 2000's.At least we still have Kendrick Lamar.-LitSavage

I honestly think nothing is wrong with XXXTENTACION, he's the best singer of all time in my state of opinion.

The Contenders
11 Drake Aubrey Drake Graham, known professionally as Drake, is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer and actor, born on October 24, 1986 in Toronto, Canada. He started his career on Canadian reality show "Degrassi: The Next Generation".

Overrated is an understatement. The most annoying thing about this year is not being able to listen to anything without his bloody voice moaning.

I vote him cause is one of the most overrated thing in the world right now and its annoying to hear his soundtrack, I would not dare call that song

His 2018 hits are the most overrated songs of the year. None of them deserved #1 on the Hot 100, but ALL of them hit #1 and stayed there for WEEKS.

Oh come on! He got much better this year with good comebacks. He was worse last year (and the year before).

12 Fall Out Boy Fall Out Boy is an American pop punk band formed in Wilmette, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, in 2001. The band consists of vocalist and guitarist Patrick Stump, bassist Pete Wentz, guitarist Joe Trohman, and drummer Andy Hurley.

Eh... half is good and half is pretty bad but they do have some good songs

13 Carrie Underwood Carrie Marie Underwood is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She rose to fame as the winner of the fourth season of American Idol, in 2005. Her debut album, Some Hearts, was released in 2005.

I mean, shes a good singer but I'm just a country type person, I don't listen to country but she's good.

Nothing more than an illiterate hillbilly

All modern country right now is god-awful.

Oh... I actually like her... and I hate country

14 Future

Future got old after 2013. I thought we heard the last of him. Apparently not. People still pay him to feature on tracks.

Once again an irritating annoying Robotic voice. Unoriginal and straight up trash.

15 2 Chainz Tauheed Epps, known by his stage names 2 Chainz and formerly Tity Boi, is an American rapper from College Park, Georgia, and is often regarded as one of the most mediocre rappers of recent years. He started out in the southern rap duo Playaz Circle with fellow rapper Dolla Boy, before he would become a solo artist and change his stage name. He is known for songs such as No Lie, Birthday Song, Spend It, It's a Vibe and Feds Watching, and he is also known for contributing guest verses to other artists such as Jason Derulo, B.o.B, Juicy J, Drake, Kanye West and Lil Wayne. He is often criticized for having simple and sometimes goofy, nonsensical lyrics somewhat reminiscent of Lil Wayne, for primarily ...read more.

Hardly even relevant in 2018.

16 Chris Brown Christopher Maurice "Chris" Brown (born May 5, 1989) is an American singer, songwriter, dancer and actor. Born in Tappahannock, Virginia, he was involved in his church choir and several local talent shows from a young age. He is most well known for his physical assault towards the singer Rihanna in 2009.

Imagine Dragons' lineup consists of lead vocalist Dan Reynolds, guitarist Wayne Sermon, bassist Ben McKee, and drummer Daniel Platzman. The band first gained exposure with the release of their ...read more.

My favorite band... but I am glad it's so low compared to where I thought it wold be with all the dislike its been getting from evolve. Though someone please get maroon five up one more and worse than ID

18 Iggy Azalea Amethyst Amelia Kelly, born June 7, 1990 known professionally as Iggy Azalea, is an Australian rapper, singer, songwriter, and model.

She came out of nowhere and was a hit all over the radio. Iggy looks like she tries to be the "White" Nicki Minaj and tries way too hard to be sexy! Like please stop!

She's not even relevant in 2018, why is she even on the list lol?

Extremely overrated

19 Lil Wayne Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. is an American rapper from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was discovered by Brian "Baby" "Birdman" Williams at a very young age, and was signed to Cash Money Records, where he would be one quarter of the rap group Hot Boys. In the years to follow, he would go on to find his own label, Young Money, where he would sign popular artists such as Drake, Nicki Minaj and Tyga, and he would go on to be one of the most popular rappers of all time. ...read more.

0 talent and NEVER brings anything new to the table!

Talentless now...I miss old Wayne.

Carter 5 sucks

20 CupcakKe Elizabeth Eden Harris, better known by her stage name, cupcakKe, is a rapper, singer, and songwriter. She was born on May 31, 1997 in Chicago, United States. Although she is best known for her sexually explicit lyrics, cupcakKe was raised in a church and is still a devout Christian.

She thinks she's so edgy and funny with her stupid references to sex but it ends up just being a processed headache and migraine of artificial crap to listen to.

She looks like an old lady in her 60's stole Umbridge's clothing

Um y'all put her on the wrong list you meant to put her on "Best Artist of 2018"

Worse than cardi b, yes I actually said that.

21 Bad Bunny

What do you expect from someone who was in a song by cardi b, and with a name like bad bunny

He makes terrible music, tries to mimic other rappers.

Don't know. Don't care.

Absolutely awful

22 Panic! at the Disco Panic! at the Disco was an American pop rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, formed in 2004 and featuring the current lineup of vocalist Brendon Urie, accompanied on tour by bassist Dallon Weekes, guitarist Kenneth Harris, and drummer Dan Pawlovich.

Brendon urie is an amazing singer!

23 Migos Migos is an American hip hop trio from Lawrenceville, Georgia, founded in 2008. They are composed of three rappers known by their stage names Takeoff, Quavo and Offset.

Their songs are just artless noise (especially Walk It Talk It).

This group is amazing!

24 Camila Cabello Karla Camila Cabello Estrabao, or professionally Camila Cabello (born March 3, 1997) is an American-Cuban musician. Camila was best known for being part of the girl group Fifth Harmony. Fifth Harmony are known for songs like Worth It, Work From Home, All In My Head (Flex), Bo$, and Sledgehammer. Camila left Fifth Harmony in December, 2016. In her solo career, Camila became a huge hit again with her songs Havana and Senorita which reached no. 1 on the Hot 100 in 2018 and 2019 respectively.

She is honestly not my favorite. I don't want to be rude but her music just really annoys me along with several other new music artists

I am shocked that this untalented tart is so low on the list. How the hell is she behind legitimately talented artists with actual voices like Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, and Shawn Mendes?! Without autotune, she can't carry a tune in a bucket. She ought to be in the Top 10 if not #1.

Cheesy Taylor swift rip off

Get her higher

25 Nicki Minaj Onika Tanya Maraj, known professionally as Nicki Minaj (born December 8, 1982) is a Trinidadian/American rapper / pop music artist. Minaj is most known for her songs such as "Anaconda", "Super Bass", "Starships" and her feature on "Bang Bang". Despite her controversial songs, Brent Staples from "The New York Times" claimed her to be 'the most influential female rapper of all time', presumably distinctive for her fast flow and her use of alter egos with Cockney accent. She has endorsed Adidas, MAC Cosmetics and Pepsi. Minaj has received ten Grammy-nominations throughout her career, and has won multiple awards including the Billboard's Women in Music 2011 Rising Star award.

Even though she is widely respected as a rapper, her music is garbage and her voice is so irritating. She probably has one of the most irritating voices I've ever heard. She may be a good rapper, but that is it! Her image is a joke.

Why is she still in the music industry? Overpaid and oversold. I cannot listen to Nicki often. At least she's better than Azalea Banks or whatever.

She barely even looks human, If I see this THING in real life I'm gonna hurt it, for the greater good

Oh she is so annoying and ugly.
I hate all of her songs and she is too vulgar!
