the Lupe Fiasco + Trey Songz joint is kind of a jam

yeah i fuck w/ that song
― some dude (Mr. Stevenson #2), Thursday, 15 December 2011 18:18 (twelve years ago) link
kind of telling that a wholly anonymous generic track like "Racks" is coming across like the greatest thing in the universe thanks to exposure to stupid ass Drake
― OH NOES, Thursday, 15 December 2011 18:18 (twelve years ago) link
okay "Bring It Back" is a genuinely YES song, the first I've hit on this list (of the ones I didn't already know) in a while
― OH NOES, Thursday, 15 December 2011 18:20 (twelve years ago) link
^^^^^^^^i know right!
(ha this was an xp but it applies to both)

racks is a pretty unusual song, maybe not as unusual as tony montana but they're both ugly and rythmically contorted in a way most or all futuristic stupid fruity swag ever is

tpp's list otm

the big takeaway I'm having so far is that I didn't think that 90% of hip-hop would spend 2011 trying to unsuccessfully merge "I Need Love" with "Ms Jackson"
― OH NOES, Thursday, 15 December 2011 18:23 (twelve years ago) link
haha

well considering that that style's been done to death for 3 years in a row there's not really anything unusual about that anymore

srsly though, coming to Waka after the indefensible SHIT I just sat through makes me want to go back and apologize to you guys for all the mocking; if only I'd been paying attention to what the other choices were I'd have gotten it
― OH NOES, Thursday, 15 December 2011 18:27 (twelve years ago) link
racks & tony montana are the increasingly rare late-era innovations on the futuristic swag template
― wil smif, Thursday, 15 December 2011 18:30 (twelve years ago) link
haha "grove st. party" and "bring it back" are my top 2 out of this list so it's a pleasant surprise to see you embrace both (although i decided to throw a vote to "ima boss" itt)

ok that is kinda weird

"niggas in paris" might be robbed..
― sisilafami, Friday, 16 December 2011 00:49 (twelve years ago) link
meek mill afaict has no traction here whatsoever
― malcolm the tenth (furnace mane), Friday, 16 December 2011 01:00 (twelve years ago) link
but like, that song had a huge event remix w/ khaled/tip/wayne/ross

I though meek mill was mac miller
― www.myislamicdream.com (step hen faps), Friday, 16 December 2011 01:13 (twelve years ago) link
did the meek mill song come first or the lonely island song
― nice catch cuauhtemoc blanco niño (dayo), Friday, 16 December 2011 01:17 (twelve years ago) link
ok this is dope, not really sure how i feel about the prominent ross grunt tho
― malcolm the tenth (furnace mane), Friday, 16 December 2011 01:21 (twelve years ago) link
lol remember when some dude didn't think that was a 'thing'
― nice catch cuauhtemoc blanco niño (dayo), Friday, 16 December 2011 01:22 (twelve years ago) link
i think i was more just offended to learn that it is a thing, especially because i'd never noticed it before but now i can't un-hear it (unlike the Kanye Honk that ruined so many songs for me long before there was a name for it)
― some dude (Mr. Stevenson #2), Friday, 16 December 2011 01:37 (twelve years ago) link
great top 4!
― degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Friday, 16 December 2011 07:49 (twelve years ago) link
i don't really love "moment 4 life" but something about the way nicki enunciates "and i ain't lucky, i'm blessed / YES" totally gets me
― degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Friday, 16 December 2011 08:34 (twelve years ago) link
oh god that line is the worst
― some dude (Mr. Stevenson #2), Friday, 16 December 2011 12:54 (twelve years ago) link
I don't know if I am sad or relieved that this poll ended before I could get through every song on here in the original order
also who the hell voted for "Marvins Room"
― OH NOES, Friday, 16 December 2011 14:54 (twelve years ago) link
even tho i had "marvin's room" at #1 i think i actually voted for travis porter

I see mostly shtick in Nicki Minaj, though I’m thrilled to see a woman break apart the boys club and sexualize men in her hit video. I admire her vocal speed and enunciation but I’m creeped out by the Pixar British accent and Barbie obsession. Her track “Super Bass” became such a consensus song that Taylor Swift covered it live (sometimes with Minaj herself), as did two tiny British girls named Sophia Grace and Rosie, landing them on the Ellen DeGeneres show.

he goes on to praise azealia banks tho (rme) so ymmv
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Friday, 16 December 2011 16:48 (twelve years ago) link
i agree about the schtick. those first mixtapes around the time gucci was buzzing are p dope, though, me ex played those a lot this summer
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Friday, 16 December 2011 16:49 (twelve years ago) link
it's still genuinely quite bizarre to me how massive nicki minaj has become, when i think back to hearing those mixtapes for the first time
do you actually think azealia banks is terrible and no-good and awful, or just overrated?
― degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Friday, 16 December 2011 17:14 (twelve years ago) link
hasn't she only released one song?
― Number None, Friday, 16 December 2011 17:15 (twelve years ago) link
i have a few kicking around from a few years ago, when she went under miss bank$
is "212" even properly released yet? it wasn't as of a month ago
― degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Friday, 16 December 2011 17:18 (twelve years ago) link
i think having a music video = released
