Edward III, Friday, 10 June 2011 19:19 (twelve years ago) link

I voted Saturday Night! The Album.

Parenthetical Grillz, Friday, 10 June 2011 19:20 (twelve years ago) link

just that list of tracks that didn't make the cut is pretty epic!

magic punani (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 10 June 2011 19:27 (twelve years ago) link

only one vote for "so fresh, so clean" !

positive rapper (k3vin k.), Friday, 10 June 2011 20:22 (twelve years ago) link

dude, it's not one of the 100 greatest rap tunes of all time. it just ain't.

some dude, Friday, 10 June 2011 20:25 (twelve years ago) link

Brilliant work a hoy hoy and the new guy, loved it. Sorry I had to bow out before the end - my yearly nite out was unfortunately timed.

Ismael Klata, Friday, 10 June 2011 20:26 (twelve years ago) link

it's at least 100x better than "ms jackson" xp

positive rapper (k3vin k.), Friday, 10 June 2011 20:29 (twelve years ago) link

a lot of things on this list (and not on this list) are

some dude, Friday, 10 June 2011 20:31 (twelve years ago) link

my point i guess was that it shouldn't have come in 9th place among kast songs

positive rapper (k3vin k.), Friday, 10 June 2011 20:37 (twelve years ago) link

but yeah

positive rapper (k3vin k.), Friday, 10 June 2011 20:37 (twelve years ago) link

9th sounds right to me fwiw

some dude, Friday, 10 June 2011 20:41 (twelve years ago) link

Thanks AHH and Spottie! Sterling work!

PG Harpy (Doran), Friday, 10 June 2011 20:43 (twelve years ago) link

yeah great stuff, thanks guys, going to be listening to the top 40 tomorrow!

Neil S, Friday, 10 June 2011 20:45 (twelve years ago) link

okay apparently I have been doing myself a disservice by listening to "Lemme Smang It" without watching the video

holy lols

I think "coosh contusion" is the winning phrase from that song anyway

low-rent black gangster nicknamed Bootsy (DJP), Friday, 10 June 2011 20:51 (twelve years ago) link

<3 "Ante Up" but that is way too high. Not even my favorite M.O.P. joint. Glad "Cream" wasn't #1 tho, esp. after Wu won the other poll. That joint is overrated (but so is "Protect Ya Neck").

The Reverend, Friday, 10 June 2011 21:14 (twelve years ago) link

Thanks for all the appreciation. I make a living as a graphic designer so it was fun to do, despite the combined 7 hours of sleep over the last 2 nights.

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Friday, 10 June 2011 21:15 (twelve years ago) link

I would have gotten "NY State of Mind" & "A Roller Skating Jam Named 'Saturdays'" into the poll if I'd voted. Maybe "The Next Episode"/"One Day"/"The Takeover" too.

The Reverend, Friday, 10 June 2011 21:22 (twelve years ago) link

Wait, how can it be that I was the only Bomfunk voter?

Ismael Klata, Friday, 10 June 2011 21:28 (twelve years ago) link

::twirls chair around, stares wide-eyed at Tuomas::

some dude, Friday, 10 June 2011 21:30 (twelve years ago) link

Somewhat surprised no one voted for Hip 2 Da Game besides me.

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Friday, 10 June 2011 21:40 (twelve years ago) link

looooooooool xp

I dunno, it's never really grabbed me like that.

The Reverend, Friday, 10 June 2011 22:05 (twelve years ago) link

It's always seemed kind of worthy to me.

The Reverend, Friday, 10 June 2011 22:05 (twelve years ago) link

I'm kinda sad that no one else besides me voted for "Sucker DJ", "Fire It Up", "Illusions", "Ladies First", or "Fat Cats, Bigga Fish"... These are all top class tunes, certainly better than anything Eminem ever did.

Tuomas, Friday, 10 June 2011 22:06 (twelve years ago) link

IMO this one of the best video/tune combos of the 90s.

Tuomas, Friday, 10 June 2011 22:08 (twelve years ago) link

We should do one of these on a yearly basis but exclude the tracks that have previously made it. By year three or four things would get real interesting, or maybe it would just turn into an Odd Future wankfest, idk.

Fire It Up is tops.

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Friday, 10 June 2011 22:13 (twelve years ago) link

Eh I think ilx no longer likes odd future

lebroner (D-40), Friday, 10 June 2011 22:15 (twelve years ago) link

So itll just be a bunch of wu affiliate tracks and de la soul skits then.

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Friday, 10 June 2011 22:23 (twelve years ago) link

Wonder how many countdowns it would take for my #1 to place

brodie_odie_dope (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 10 June 2011 22:30 (twelve years ago) link

Simon Says was fucking ROBBED fyi

― WHO THE FUCK READS THE (a hoy hoy), Saturday, 11 June 2011 05:07 (4 hours ago)

yeah, you me and 1 other voted for it?

― Edward III, Saturday, 11 June 2011 05:09 (4 hours ago)

that was me, I think?

AFAIR all of my strategic or troll voting got shut out ;_;

all cats are gay (sic), Friday, 10 June 2011 23:23 (twelve years ago) link

Heroic work a hoy hoy and Spottie, even though now I look at the full list it looks like my ballot wasn't counted in the end because there are no votes at all for some of my picks. But hey, a great top 100 anyway (including roughly half my list) and a total pleasure to follow the rollout.

Especially grateful because my wife was expecting a baby all week and this was a great distraction from the nerves. She gave birth today. Only hitch: throughout the long labour I had the bassline to Black Moon's I Got Cha Opin running through my exhausted head.

Congratulations Dorian! Hip Hop Hooray!

PG Harpy (Doran), Saturday, 11 June 2011 00:01 (twelve years ago) link

Congrats to you and your wife!

EZ Snappin, Saturday, 11 June 2011 00:01 (twelve years ago) link

congrats DL! there's a googleproof parenthood thread on 77 you're always welcome to post on: http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=77&threadid=74957

some dude, Saturday, 11 June 2011 00:05 (twelve years ago) link

Some of the supposed locks for top 20 (What's My Name, Drop It Like It's Hot) didn't even make top 200.

President Keyes, Saturday, 11 June 2011 00:32 (twelve years ago) link

Kids are the best, we have number 2 due in 7 weeks. Congrats DL

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Saturday, 11 June 2011 00:33 (twelve years ago) link

i think we already established that Finland is the only place where those songs are more popular than "Gin & Juice"

some dude, Saturday, 11 June 2011 00:42 (twelve years ago) link

congrats DL, I hope you named the baby RAP TRACKS OF THE GODS

Edward III, Saturday, 11 June 2011 00:43 (twelve years ago) link
