all due respect to cats like deej or noz who have p&j ballots that are at least 90% rap like every year, not everyone can go that hard

obviously those aren't the only 2 people, there are a decent number of dedicated rap crits voting in the poll (even if not enough)

tbh this year i just listened to tons more rap than usual. i tend to try to balance a bit more w/ dance mixes & ish like that but besides Surkin (which i forgot to vote for anyway) I've been going pretty heavy on rap lately

i was gonna vote for riff raff's uncuct cocaine cypher freestyle #1 (which is prob my most listened to... thing of the year, or at least the only thing that was in my head for 2.5 straight months) but then i got cold feet and didn't want to sully the sanctity of p&j voting

whenever i see ballots that are 90% one genre, whether that's rap or techno or indie, i always think, um, do you listen to other genres? there is so much good music out there and it is (almost) everywhere.
― degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Friday, 30 December 2011 09:54 (twelve years ago) link
ok, well, to answer that question, yes i do, but i liked these albums more than what i heard from those genres
now u know

Kind of an interesting one this. Definitely 90%+ of..newly released music I listen to is broadly house music related. But this probably drops to about maybe 60% of all music old or new. When it comes to older music (both new to me and already known to me) the spectrum is a lot wider. I'm not all that sure why it should be so narrow in one aspect and so wide in another - perhaps could make a possibly spurious argument that the period of "old music" is a larger and wider time period than the period of 2011 which is just one year - not sure
― april wowak, Friday, 30 December 2011 12:58 (twelve years ago) link
so wait, deej if 90% of the new music you listen to isn't rap, what is the percentage? srs question
― some dude (Mr. Stevenson #2), Friday, 30 December 2011 12:59 (twelve years ago) link
at the beginning of the year it seemed like a foregone conclusion that the Tyler, The Creator album would do well in year-end lists and that seems to has pretty much dissolved, but "Yonkers" is still a lock to be maybe the highest rap song on the singles poll right?
― some dude (Mr. Stevenson #2), Friday, 30 December 2011 15:02 (twelve years ago) link
no doubt

this year it was probably close to that. in years previous, dance music & R&B probably made up a combined 40%

i last year & this year i've make my ilx trax ballot exclusively charting singles & notable rap youtubes. i find that otherwise the process is too intellectually jarring & the result not as satisfying
