do you hate still fly too??
you mean “Stay Fly”
hahaha
or do you mean the Big Tymers?
cuz the diff there is that the Big Tymers are self-mocking rather than describing a commercially successful holding pattern, totally the exception that proves the rule
i gotta still fly-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y
what about still ballin by trick & pac
Miccio, you’ll retract your claim when Trick makes you weep with a tale of in utero fetal death, “Stillborn A Thug,” on his next album.
what about still ballin by trick & pac
haven’t heard it, not really in much of a rush
“still not a player” is pretty fun!
he doesn’t say “still” in the chorus though
thats the best song mentioned in this entire thread

It always irritated me that “Still Not A Player” appears before “I’m Not A Player” on Capital Punishment.
fuckalot vs. crushalot
if you never heard ‘a little bit of love’ by brenda russell (the still not a player break) get that shit now
strill
do you think Pun started saying “crush” instead of “fuck” after some chick’s pelvic bone was cracked underneath his weight?
lets ask perpetua (ba dum tisssss)
I’m not a player I just flux a lot
haha!
the best part is how no effort is made to reconcile the fact that two years pass between the date of death and the blog creation
unreleased acapellas yo

good list! there were a lot of big rap singles this year that I just hated, though (Hustlin’, Touch It, We Fly High, Hustlin’, etc). here’s the hip hop parts of my top 100 singles (which was way lighter on rap than it’s been most other years), although if I was setting out to make a best hip hop singles list it’d probably look a little different and I’d remove some of the more R&Bish stuff:
1. T.I.—“What You Know”
2. DJ Khaled f/ Paul Wall, Lil Wayne, Fat Joe, Rick Ross and Pitbull—“Holla At Me Baby”
3. Ray Cash f/ Scarface—“Bumpin’ My Music”
9. Chamillionaire f/ Krayzie Bone—“Ridin’”
16. E-40 f/ Keak Da Sneak—“Tell Me When To Go”
21. Rich Boy f/ Polow Da Don—“Throw Some D’s”

37. Remy Ma—“Conceited”
43. Lil Wayne—“Hustler Musik”
45. Diddy f/ Nicole Scherzinger—“Come To Me”
49. DJ Khaled f/ Kanye West, Consequence and John Legend—“Grammy Family”
50. Ghostface f/ Ne-Yo—“Back Like That”
52. Pitbull—“Ay Chico (Lengua Afuera)”
60. Young Dro f/ T.I.—“Shoulder Lean”

85. Daz f/ Rick Ross—“On Some Real Shit”
87. Young Buck—“I Know You Want Me”
90. Yung Joc f/ Nitti—“It’s Goin’ Down”
91. Kanye West f/ Paul Wall, GLC, T.I. and Tony Williams—“Drive Slow” (Strings Remix)

96. Dilated Peoples—“Back Again”
97. Tha Dogg Pound—“Cali Iz Active”
98. Pitbull f/ Pretty Ricky—“Everybody Get Up”
99. T.I.—“Why You Wanna”
I tried to do some long list but got bored, so if I had to pick 10 it’d probably be something like:
T.I.—“What You Know”
Lupe Fiasco—“Kick Push”
Ghostface—“Be Easy”
Killa Kamillionz—“Memoriez”
Rich Boy—“Throw Some D’s”
Federation—“18 Dummy”
E-40 feat. Keak Da Sneak—“Tell Me When To Go (Superhyphy Remix)”
The Pack feat. Too $hort—“Vans (Remix)”
Ray Cash feat. Scarface—“Bumpin My Music”
Trae feat. Hawk and Pimp C—“Swang (Remix)”
if “talkin to you” was an actual single, it’d be at the top
i’m diggin both the young dro and birdman/wayne. not too into the field mob, they’re a little too ludacrissed-out (“i hate you” is kinda roffley with that nu-metal screaming on the chorus)
also i can’t take a whole album of lil boosie
yeah “I Hate You” is one of the most hilariously bad tracks of the year, no doubt. in general I like the album, though.
“if ”talkin to you“ was an actual single, it’d be at the top”
fuck yes
also i can’t take a whole album of lil boosie
hah yeah when i first heard ‘gangsta musik’ this would have seemed strange but turns out its true.
how is the witchdoctor album

the best part about that is it will get funnier every year
greatest story never told indeed
lol
continuing in the grand tradition of ethan’s homoerotic lil wayne review, i am so glad my superiors actually used “the whirlwind of beef, [they] inhale it” as the cutline on the cover this week for the jay-z/nas article. (sorry if that means looking at the paper this week makes you want to vomit, al.)
if only i knew amon’s real name...i would have asked them to look into buying his nas-with-burger picture like they bought sean carruther’s nikolai-volkoff-with-vacuum cleaner.
seriously, every time i hear that line in the song now i crave that garlic bread they used to have at the wendy’s superbar
haha I hadn’t noticed that, awesome.
I think my favorite weird CP graphic lately has been that picture of the cat with thick marker Xing out its eyes that ran next to at least 2 different book reviews recently (both of which had plot points about cat murder).
sometimes i kinda want to quit my job and just photoshop nonsense for the paper all day
“we need a dog’s head on pat robertson’s body...stat!”
hahaha

since I finally stopped adjusting my top 06 albums and committed to a ‘final’ list the other day, i should post the hip hop top 10 here before I start wanting to drastically change it again:
1. T.I.—King
3. The Roots—Game Theory
5. Birdman & Lil Wayne—Like Father, Like Son
6. Nas—Hip Hop Is Dead
8. Ray Cash—Cash On Delivery
11. Lupe Fiasco—Food & Liquor
12. Young Dro—Best Thang Smokin’
14. Styles P.—Time Is Money
17. Field Mob—Light Poles And Pine Trees
21. Rhymefest—Blue Collar
how is the whole ray cash album? (aside from being yr number 5.) i didn’t even know “bumpin my music” was a rick rock beat until a few days ago.
it’s really consistent in an unspectacular but enjoyable way. like a baby King.
“Payback” is great and the “Bumpin My Music” remix is one of the best songs I heard all year. I don’t like the album as much as Al and I find it confusing that he’s checking out crack fiends’ ‘tight ass jeans.’
hah uh that is Ray Cash is checking out fiends, not Al.
hhaha true, that song is weird, but the beat is great. i think it’s just that i forgot about the album for a while, and then put it in the car a few weeks ago and realized that there’s not a single wack song on it, which is hard to say about even some much better rap albums.
if only i knew amon’s real name...i would have asked them to look into buying his nas-with-burger picture like they bought sean carruther’s nikolai-volkoff-with-vacuum cleaner.
i have “beef” w/ CP
haha what, do you work for the Talking Head? or the National Great Blacks In Wax Museum?
nah, i just refuse to work for joe maccrappyartdirectorwithashittycolumn
it was awhile ago so more like a dustdevil of beef at this point
so, small enough to inhale, I guess. his column’s definitely a bit overly wacky but Funny Paper = G.O.A.T.
he’s a good graphic designer and movie reviewer but freelancing for him is a waste of time. i hope they treat/pay their writers better.
now i’m imagining nas scraping ground beef into little lines and snorting them
Warten auf Mr. Right
what, do you work for the Talking Head?
i was gonna ask about this, but now i see the article. yeesh.
Is there anything new that’s good in hip-hop right now? I’m not being rhetorical, but it’s been a while since I’ve heard anything.
TVT’s Hyphy Hitz comp is really good. A few odd singles I’ve been into: UGK “The Game Belongs to Me”; Trick Daddy “Tuck Ya Ice”; Mike Jones “Mr. Jones”; Wes Fif “Haters Everywhere”.
That UGK song is really great.
yeah it seems like after the glut of 4th quarter releases, there’s barely been a single major label or high profile rap release in the first couple months of 2007. mostly people dropping singles and mixtapes to gear up for albums in March or later. i’m kind of using the lull to dig back into older shit. this thread was way better than the rolling snap thread on the real ILM though.
no way—rabin-bashing >>>>>>>> perpetua-bashing
i had a dream about a new mike jones video featuring kanye in an mf doom-style mask. wtf??
it started out sampling some children’s song but then went into the lil jon beat from the heineken commercial.
actually it only covered half of kanye’s face, so i guess it was more like mfantom of the opera.
i also missed amon’s “beef” upthread
kanye rapping about women is really annoying. see: throw some d’s remix
big perp
rakim sounds great on that new nike song w/nas kanye and krs one.

One of These Things (Is Not Like The Others)
Words and Music by Joe Raposo and Jon Stone
One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?
As do Nas & Kanye. As much as I hate to say it, KRS sounds like an asshat.
xp
KRS-One hasn’t been on a hit single this decade. Easy.
xp
the just blaze beat on the juelz santana nike song (or at least the one that was used on a nike commercial) is pretty boss, altho not particularly ground-breaking
http://www.rockonthenet.com/archive/1997/bbyearend.htm
1—“I’ll Be Missing You”—Puff Daddy & Faith Evans with 112
2—“Un-Break My Heart”—Toni Braxton
3—“Step Into A World”—KRS-One
4—“Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down”—Puff Daddy featuring Mase
5—“Mo Money Mo Problems”—The Notorious B.I.G. featuring Puff Daddy & Mase
the just blaze beat on the juelz santana nike song
first time I heard it the thought was “best nike commercial...ever?”
gotta be the shoes
Saw a video by MIMS last night. I have never encountered such a talented and idiosyncratic individual in my life.
