apropos of some posts a little bit up, I would be all over that fox song if I wanted/needed to entertain a kid of six or younger but I'm still completely agog at adults enjoying it apparently independent of that function

I honestly can't fathom going gaga over a Pusha T album

Pusha album is in my top 5, it's that good

weird to see "Upper Echelon" on both the Spin and Complex song lists, what a generic-ass flop song to champion

you should enjoy RTJ for "get it" alonethat song totally dominated the summer for me

The sad part is I wouldn't say I'm necessarily gaga over the Pusha T album. Not a great year for me and rap; admittedly I am far from an expert.

― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Wednesday, 4 December 2013 01:51 (ten years ago) link
"22" wasn't released as a single until well into 2013 so that seems fair game. "Diamonds" was a worldwide chart-topper by this time last year, though.
― deez the season (some dude), Wednesday, 4 December 2013 02:26 (ten years ago) link
the Pusha T track I love is "Nosetalgic" because of Kendrick Lamar. The rest of the album is bleh besides "King Push."

nice to see Fact list Kevin Gates's retail album Stranger Than Fiction over the mixtape Luca Brasi Story, but it seems weird/willfull to do so on a list of mixtapes
― deez the season (some dude), Wednesday, 4 December 2013 04:27 (ten years ago) link
I'm not even sure what technically qualifies as a mixtape. Weren't they both self-released and then picked up by Atlantic?
my impression from the blurb that the Luca Brasi Story would be showing up in the main list
― Dan S, Wednesday, 4 December 2013 04:46 (ten years ago) link
iirc, Luca Brasi was released as a mixtape and later a pared down version was given a retail release, whereas STF was always just an independent album.

NME album top three:
1. Arctic Monkeys – AM2. Kanye West – Yeezus3. Queens Of The Stone Age – ... Like Clockwork

Lol.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 4 December 2013 10:18 (ten years ago) link
Like I understand that the Arctic Monkeys album is meant to be better than their others if you like that sort of thing, and everyone is voting for Yeezus anyway, but I can't fathom enough people liking that really quite dull and mid-paced QOTSA album enough to vote it top three, and I fucking love everything they put out up until around 2003.

Yesterday the NME Twitter was promoting a band called "Cerebral Ballzy".
If there was a window in my office when I read that I'd have looked out.
― Legitimate space tale (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 4 December 2013 10:27 (ten years ago) link
They've been around for years, more in hardcore/punk focussed mags than NME themselves though. From the worst band name thread:
cerebral ballzy

dunno, arctic monkeys isn't really offensive in the same way as cerebral ballzy. not that it's particularly great.

It's just a name. Jamie, the guitarist, came up with it at school before we were in a band. He just always wanted to be in a band called Arctic Monkeys.
he did it!
― Number None, Wednesday, 4 December 2013 10:58 (ten years ago) link
it seems a strange choice for them, like they're not "wacky" in what they do musically.

What's then name of those monkeys that live in the snow and hang out in hot spas and are total dicks to the monkeys that they force to stand out in the cold? I'm pushing for more taxonomic accuracy in band-naming here.
