Thanksgiving is here and, as is custom, it’s time we count our blessings. Time flies and headlines have been made, so before we fill our plates and bellies tomorrow and enjoy our family and friends, let’s take a look back at the 10 music and culture moments we’re most thankful for this year.

Donald Glover shouting out Migos

Glover kicked off 2017 by winning the Golden Globe for Best Comedy Series for Atlanta. During his speech, the actor-writer-musician gave what would be perceived as an odd nod to Migos and their hit “Bad and Boujee.”

Chance the Rapper making history at the Grammys

In February of this year, Chance the Rapper won his first ever Grammy award for Best Rap Performance for “No Problem.” Later that evening, he took home the prestigious awards for Best New Artist and Best Rap Album for his mixtape Coloring Book.

Eminem making his return

Eminem – BET Hip-Hop Cypher

“This is the calm before the storm.” Those were the words Em used to mock Donald Trump before unleashing his cypher at this year’s BET Hip-Hop Awards. For nearly five minutes, the Detroit MC took aim at the Commander In Chief, systemic racism, and his support for NFL player Colin Kaepernick.

Gucci Mane glowing up
