Robin Murray of
Clash considered "Hip-Hop" among the best songs from
Tha Carter VI and wrote that it "stand[s] up with his finest work". Mosi Reeves of
Rolling Stone remarked "It's fun to hear him chop up OG arcana while overdosing on basketball and football shout-outs. 'Weed smoke got me chokin' like
Reggie Miller, nigga,' he raps on 'Hip-Hop.'" Paul Attard of
Slant Magazine regarded the song as one of the album's "high points", which he also described as "little more than reminders of the baseline competence that Wayne was once capable of" and "offer scant evidence that he's still evolving as an artist". ==Charts==
