Drip or drop– which word do you prefer the most? OR, do you not have a preference either way? Hmm, food for some serious thought. Whether you are #TEAM DRIP or #TEAM DROP really doesn’t matter in the least, or in the context of this playlist. The title of this list, 10 Urban Songs That Either Drip or Drop, is pretty self-explanatory.  Some of the hip-hop records or the sole urban contemporary record feature the word drip in their title, while some feature the word drop.
