Billboard Rap Song of the Year

Entertainment: Music Awards: Billboard

The Billboard Awards were first presented in 1990. Since that time a number of awards are no longer presented, new awards began and other awards morphed into different categories. We attempted to figure out which awards morphed or combined and thus those categories are certainly not official. *** Missing: * Cypress Hill (1992) * Illegal (1993) * Peter Gunz (1998) * Lord Tariq (1998) * Sole (1999) * J.T. Money (1999)
