Drake and Future’s mammoth collaboration What a Time to Be Alive produced plenty of trap greatness, (“Jumpman,” anyone?) including this low-key in-the-club anthem. “Sippin' on Dom Perignon for no reason/ Poppin' tags, upper echelon for no reason,” the diamonds dancing in this jam could be a metaphor for strippers.

This Kanye classic from Late Registration includes a sample from Shirley Bassey’s “Diamonds Are Forever” and addresses the buying and selling of blood diamonds in war-torn lands. The haunting video compares a life of excess to the exploitation of human life in exchange for jewels.
