"yonkers" beat is terrible, banger status denied

Mr. Stevenson #2, Friday, 9 December 2011 15:29 (twelve years ago) link

man i heard the "yonkers" beat as the bumper music on rap & r&b stations for months, get outta here

v-shasty, Friday, 9 December 2011 15:30 (twelve years ago) link

Yeah the "Yonkers" beat is fantastic, no matter what else you may think of Tyler.

I left my login in El Sandboxo, Friday, 9 December 2011 15:31 (twelve years ago) link

i kind of think as a "banger" as something you can dance to, "yonkers" is too...dour

degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Friday, 9 December 2011 15:33 (twelve years ago) link

I thought "Pumped Up Kicks" would make the final Billboard list but otherwise expected.

Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 9 December 2011 15:34 (twelve years ago) link

yeah me too -- #13 not too far off though

Mr. Stevenson #2, Friday, 9 December 2011 15:37 (twelve years ago) link

n/a, Friday, 9 December 2011 15:47 (twelve years ago) link

Is "Firework" not a banger?

(I thangyew)

Jilted John and Marsha (MarkG oo la showaddywaddy), Friday, 9 December 2011 15:48 (twelve years ago) link

As long as you can nod your head to it...

that Billboard list is making me rethink my policy of letting my wife control the radio stations in the car; that is basically what we heard all year in the mornings

OH NOES, Friday, 9 December 2011 15:52 (twelve years ago) link

"Firework" honestly makes me think of the noise made when you pull the sides of a balloon's mouthpiece and slowly let the air out.

dog latin, Friday, 9 December 2011 15:53 (twelve years ago) link

"Firework" is self-evidently the worst song on that list IMO

OH NOES, Friday, 9 December 2011 15:54 (twelve years ago) link

"firework" is a contender for worst song EVER imo

degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Friday, 9 December 2011 15:56 (twelve years ago) link

and "Super Bass" is self-evidently the best.

Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 9 December 2011 15:56 (twelve years ago) link

i would agree w/ both of these things except for the thing where "ET" is also on the list

v-shasty, Friday, 9 December 2011 15:58 (twelve years ago) link

I haven't heard Super Bass, but I bet I'd like it.

dog latin, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:00 (twelve years ago) link

lol, I have much time for "ET" completely against my better judgment; I think I just like Katy Perry the most when she's being a stompy non-preachy monster

OH NOES, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:02 (twelve years ago) link

"super bass" was the song i had most in-the-wild moments to this year. rapping every word at so many house parties <3

degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Friday, 9 December 2011 16:04 (twelve years ago) link

Just the other day one of our students said, amazed, "You like 'Super Bass' and not Drake?"

Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:05 (twelve years ago) link

I'd probably rank the Billboard songs like this:

1 "Rolling In The Deep" - Adele
2 "Party Rock Anthem" - Lmfao Featuring Lauren Bennett & Goonrock
6 "Grenade" - Bruno Mars
4 "E.T." - Katy Perry Featuring Kanye West
7 "F**K You (Forget You)" - Cee Lo Green
8 "Super Bass" - Nicki Minaj
9 "Moves Like Jagger" - Maroon 5 Featuring Christina Aguilera
5 "Give Me Everything" - Pitbull Featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer
10 "Just Can't Get Enough" - The Black Eyed Peas
3 "Firework" - Katy Perry

OH NOES, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:06 (twelve years ago) link

If I ever hear Moves Like Jagger again I'm gonna fucking punch a wall

boof troop (dealwithit.gif), Friday, 9 December 2011 16:08 (twelve years ago) link

should be a poll imo

v-shasty, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:09 (twelve years ago) link

i like the chorus of that song a lot, don't really like xtina on it at all but what else is new

v-shasty, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:09 (twelve years ago) link

Someone at work keeps singing it at me because they know it winds me up.

xposts oh you cunt.

dog latin, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:09 (twelve years ago) link

when i was in russia i heard "moves like jagger" like literally 5 times a day. i kind of...came round to it :(

degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Friday, 9 December 2011 16:09 (twelve years ago) link

basically exactly what miami did to me 12 months previously with "only girl in the world"

degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Friday, 9 December 2011 16:10 (twelve years ago) link

Thanks for breaking my browser.

Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:10 (twelve years ago) link

just change the lyric to "louis jagger" in your head, might make it funnier.

dog latin, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:10 (twelve years ago) link

it could be worse, if I had mod powers here I could have made them all autoplay

OH NOES, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:11 (twelve years ago) link

the only one of those songs that i know for sure i've heard is fuck you; i think maybe i've heard party rock anthem and firework also.

n/a, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:11 (twelve years ago) link

oh i've heard super bass too, nevermind.

n/a, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:12 (twelve years ago) link

A nation thanks god that you were exposed to kryptonite then.

xxpost

Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:12 (twelve years ago) link

Just the other day one of our students said, amazed, "You like 'Super Bass' and not Drake?"

Was the angle Drake-love or pop-hate?

Ned Raggett, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:12 (twelve years ago) link

really "Firework" is the only one I find unbearable; the one that gets consistently underrated is "Grenade"

OH NOES, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:13 (twelve years ago) link

"If you like that thing, then there's no reason why you can't love Drake too."

Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:13 (twelve years ago) link

Super Bass is far and away the best thing on that Billboard list.

Matt DC, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:14 (twelve years ago) link

"Super Bass" suffers a little from the start-stops and the bridge is somewhat disconnected from the rest of the song

OH NOES, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:15 (twelve years ago) link

only one that comes close is "give me everything"

degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Friday, 9 December 2011 16:16 (twelve years ago) link

is it wrong that I look at that Billboard list and think to myself "LOL @ Blake Shelton"?

OH NOES, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:17 (twelve years ago) link

I don't mind "Give Me Everything" now, thanks to our Clear Channel station playing it every 14 seconds.

Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:17 (twelve years ago) link

Although I tend to think of Super Bass as an end-credits mallpop song rather than a rap record.

Matt DC, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:17 (twelve years ago) link

gimme a few minutes and i'll do a poll of the top 50 hot 100 songs where we can take this convo

Mr. Stevenson #2, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:18 (twelve years ago) link

"Super Bass" is prob. best on that list, though my weakness for disco-pop means I also like "Rolling in the Deep" and "Moves Like Jagger."

jaymc, Friday, 9 December 2011 16:29 (twelve years ago) link

I hate Katy Perry's voice on "Firework," but I think it's a well-constructed pop song.
