Wait wait wait. Who is fronting on "So What'cha Want"? Sometimes you people are ridiculous.
― Parenthetical Grillz, Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:43 (thirteen years ago) link
Woah. I'm shocked SHOCKED! Scenario isn't top 10
"So What'cha Want" made me actively hate The Beastie Boys for about 5 years
― low-rent black gangster nicknamed Bootsy (DJP), Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:43 (thirteen years ago) link
That is ridiculous.
― Parenthetical Grillz, Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:44 (thirteen years ago) link
A Beasties track was my #1, but So What'cha Want wasn't even on my ballot. It's...okay.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:44 (thirteen years ago) link
Actually, tbh, I hated it at the time but love it now.
I had a Beasties track on my ballot but not that one. It's fine, tho.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:45 (thirteen years ago) link
Part of my hate was environmental; Check Your Head was super annoyingly omnipresent among the modern rock heads I mostly hung out with as the ONLY hip-hop song they would ever play, ever. "Rumpshaker" and "Baby Got Back" were both refreshing in their ubiquity after being subjected to "So What'cha Want" and "Pass The Mic" on repeat both on radio and on friends' CD players for months.
Nowadays the only song on that album I have any time for at all is "Professor Booty".

professor booty otm
I'm a beasties stan, didn't vote for "so what'cha want" but can't get mad at it placing, as long as "sabotage" doesn't end up in the top 25 I'm ok
I voted "hold it now hit it" but that had a candle's chance in a windstorm

if it's the highest placing Beasties song that would be cool since it's the one that hits me most like a rap banger -- if any of their other songs places in the top 10 it's gonna be some annoying bullshit
― 51 Cent (some dude), Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:48 (thirteen years ago) link
oh wait i guess i didn't vote for "So What'cha Want" after all -- maybe i was feeling even stingier than usual toward the Beasties that day haha
― 51 Cent (some dude), Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:49 (thirteen years ago) link
Prolly would've been top 25 for me if I'd done a ranked ballot. Totally in the pantheon of great get-hyped hip-hop. Also, the sound is unreal.
Side note: I was surprised that I didn't see Check Your Head in the WTF-is-this-doing-on-the-albums-list discussion. That shit is so not a hip-hop album, even more so than Endtroducing or Boy in the Corner or Aftermath or whatever.
― Parenthetical Grillz, Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:50 (thirteen years ago) link
"Paul Revere", "Hold It Now Hit It", "Slow and Low", "Get It Together" all >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "So What'cha Want"
imo

"hold it now hit it" on a good system is the bomb, bass is killer
― no serenade no fire brigade just a trypophobia (Edward III), Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:51 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh good.
Anyone who voted "Sabotage" is a buster.
― Parenthetical Grillz, Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:51 (thirteen years ago) link
well obv
― low-rent black gangster nicknamed Bootsy (DJP), Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:51 (thirteen years ago) link
even though (challop alert) "Sabotage" > "So What'cha Want"
― low-rent black gangster nicknamed Bootsy (DJP), Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:52 (thirteen years ago) link
Yawn.
Fuck, are there going to be like 7 Wu-Tang tracks in the top 25?
― Parenthetical Grillz, Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:53 (thirteen years ago) link
that few?
― low-rent black gangster nicknamed Bootsy (DJP), Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:54 (thirteen years ago) link
"Cream" and "Triumph" are locks but i'm not sure if anything else really deserves to be there. so probably, yeah.
― 51 Cent (some dude), Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:55 (thirteen years ago) link
lol Dan
― minor domestic strife coping with death dinosaur harrassment (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:55 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah top 10 is probably all Wu-Tang
I always get torn between "cream" and "can it all be so simple", went with the latter
― no serenade no fire brigade just a trypophobia (Edward III), Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:55 (thirteen years ago) link
would've preferred Paul Revere or Hey Ladies placing over pretty much any other Beasties track tbh
― minor domestic strife coping with death dinosaur harrassment (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:56 (thirteen years ago) link
Im more pissed about my lost ballot costing "sippin on some syrup" massive points
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:56 (thirteen years ago) link
personally I am very partial to "M.E.T.H.O.D. Man" and "Release Yo Delf" but don't think both of them should place
― low-rent black gangster nicknamed Bootsy (DJP), Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:57 (thirteen years ago) link
Shake Your Rump is my all-time fave (and obvs my #1 vote here), but I don't know how many other Beasties partisans share that opinion.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:59 (thirteen years ago) link
"Im more pissed about my lost ballot costing "sippin on some syrup" massive points"
I threw all my Trip Six Mafia points at Late Nite Tip. Late Nite Tip has the best bass of any track ever.
I didn't vote strategically at all. Only Luchini placed for me today.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:59 (thirteen years ago) link
non-wu top 25 essentials: Mind Playing Tricks, Juicy, TROY, The Message, Top Billin', Gin & Juice, G Thang, Ain't No Half Steppin, It Takes Two, Flava In Ya Ear, Regulate, Shook Ones, La Di Da Di
― 51 Cent (some dude), Thursday, 9 June 2011 18:00 (thirteen years ago) link
Didn't put Beasties on either poll.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Thursday, 9 June 2011 18:00 (thirteen years ago) link
Surprise, surprise. I voted "Shake Your Rump" as well.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 9 June 2011 18:00 (thirteen years ago) link
Is Mama Said Knock You Out a pipedream at this point?
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 9 June 2011 18:01 (thirteen years ago) link
Paul Revere is eh. Wouldn't be mad if The New Style or Hey Ladies placed, but would much rather have no more Beasties and keep the field open.
― Parenthetical Grillz, Thursday, 9 June 2011 18:02 (thirteen years ago) link
it could happen

don't hold your breath on some of these...

I mean there's gotta be some LL in the top 25, might as well be that
Agree about too much PE.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Thursday, 9 June 2011 18:03 (thirteen years ago) link
Lack of Snoop is the most surprising thing so far.
Also, Lemme Smang it beating Bring The Noise, Planet Rock, Follow The Leader, California Love and Get Ur Freak On is pretty much the funniest thing in the history of ILM.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 9 June 2011 18:03 (thirteen years ago) link
Well, I'd prefer Going Back to Cali, but I figure Mama Said has a better shot (voted for both).

i realized i should've mentioned that too right after hitting 'submit' (i was mainly listing stuff from my ballot and "Rock The Bells" was my LL pick)
― 51 Cent (some dude), Thursday, 9 June 2011 18:05 (thirteen years ago) link
Passing Me By? The Choice is Yours? 93 to Infinity? The motherfucking Humpty Dance? I Get Around?
Not with this crowd?
Ante Up fo sho.
― Parenthetical Grillz, Thursday, 9 June 2011 18:05 (thirteen years ago) link
Snoop might have the best chance of any non-Wu artist of appearing twice in the top 10
Would be amazed if Push It didn't place. Are we too high up for It Was A Good Day now? Probably.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 9 June 2011 18:06 (thirteen years ago) link
I worry about LL, BDK and Top Billin.
― Parenthetical Grillz, Thursday, 9 June 2011 18:06 (thirteen years ago) link
tbh at this point I am expecting #1 to be "Purple Pills"
