1ST ANNUAL AUTOGOON INVITATIONAL

Can we at least see how many votes/points everything got?

Also, come on, use the real covers.

fuck all you guys

why?

This kind of hits my "start your own damn board/blog" buttons.

but, you know, whatever

^^^this

we all post to a rolling thread on this board.

Yes but we don't all rub it in everyone's faces about how "elite" our tastes are.

u can not click the thread you know

or killfile i guess

u mean the results shld have been posted to the rolling thread? xp

i don't see the problem w/this at all?

the thing is I DO read the autogoon threads I just hardly ever post in them cuz 90 percent of the time they move much faster than I can keep up with since I'm not d/ling mixtapes all day (I have no idea where you guys even get a fair amount of the stuff you post about). even so I do try to pay attention and yeah there's youtube etc

beyond that I just object to exclusive groups on principle

xp

We've been openly discussing this on the goon thread for like 2 weeks.

this is total bullshit

there are a handful of cryptic references (which apparently I missed) to a (and I quote) "kinda-secret" e-mail poll

xp

noooooooo i won't finish work for another 7 hours noooooooooo

also I just think it's stupid/rude to imply that the only people whose opiion on 2010 rap albums count are the autogoon crew. no generalists welcome! fuck that

opinion

and there is drama already too!

Yes but we don't all rub it in everyone's faces about how "elite" our tastes are.

haha taste come on

i thought this would be received better :( like tim f's threads, it's like...our gift to ilx for those not actually able to keep up w/the rolling threads!

"our gift" to you lowly people who know nothing about rap

haha that isn't really a good argument to counter accusations of elitism and condescension

our gift to ilx for those not actually able to keep up w/the rolling threads!

my gift to you

i did not see these complaints in tim's thread! (and nor should i have.)

Shakey Mo: I think that would be a better argument if not for the presence of the general ILM poll in which all generalists are completely free to vote for whatever rap they want? It's valuable to have something reflecting just the opinions of genre specialists, too.

whats this thread about anyway

Imo a worthy debate but belongs in I Must Protest. Whether we like the thread or not its here, should let it go on and discuss 'ethics' of it in IMP thread

tim has great taste!

Also, Tim's was just one dude giving his thoughts.

I guess this solves the "who's more exclusionary; rap heads or metal heads?" debate, lol

it's a poll of ppl who post to a rolling thread. get over it.

Imo a worthy debate but belongs in I Must Protest. Whether we like the thread or not its here, should let it go on and discuss 'ethics' of it in IMP thread

eh I've said my piece. I'm done.

so is the metal thread, but that was open to any and all

lol all of you shut up or don't read the thread

how can it be a poll of ppl who post to a thread then jon? sheesh

i mean i am interested in seeing these results because these goons do have generally good taste and tons of knowledge re this stuff, but i am really put off by the condescending way its being presented as some gift from on high

lol at Whiney & J0rdan not even being here for this clusterfuck.

ha yeah

im just v worried abt how awful the results will be

otm

so far it's being presented with a lot of goofy pics

u can post a corrective list afterwards icey :D

i want #28, whiney

Ok, I'll stop with the goofy pics

28. Styles P and DJ Green Lantern - The Green Ghost Project

really wanted to post a picture of slimer, tbh

also, i never saw this as a "gift" to anyone, just a chance to have a rap poll among the nerds

maybe the other rap ppl can do their own poll with contributors itp excluded?

then a metapoll

goofy pics are better than no pics imo

glad this got in, left it off my list

27. Meek Mill - Mr. Philadelphia

Rev, feel free to post the real covers too

can u just skip to number 1

why did u guys do an albums poll when all u do is post youtubes in yr weird lil threads

whiney you're doing a terrible job of revealing the results

j0rdan tell me what to do

and i'll do it

is kanye #1

lol just go at a smoother pace & don't post obnoxious jpgs -- it's not that hard to find mixtape covers on google images

what is meek mill?

who even is that in the picture accompanying whiney's meek mill post

#1 PUFF DIDDY - BACKPACKIN THROUGH EUROPE YALL

anyway i don't get why ppl are pissed about this -- we already have an open EOY poll that everyone can vote in -- this one is different & we wanted to keep it closed to ppl that post routinely in the major rap thread

i think we kept it pretty wide open -- we didn't exclude ppl like zvookster or tpp that just started posting this year so that me, rev, deej, whiney & ship could come and school you guys on what rap to listen to

lol joe

the meek mill will inherit the earth

also post votes/points

meek mill, inherit the earth!

xps rev i don't know much about him apart from he raps over church bells in my fav song by him and screwed "pon de floor" in my second fav, he has a shit ton of energy and sounds like he has a mouth full of teeth

i still need to listen to meek mill

all i know is that he's the FLAMERZ dude

we didn't exclude ppl like zvookster or tpp that just started posting this year so that me, rev, deej, whiney & ship could come and school you guys on what rap to listen to

26. Travis Porter - Proud 2 Be A Problem

I forgot that. Good tape.

<3 travie

icey, bc whiney is rockist

i'm totally cool w/ this thread as a longtime rolling rap lurker but i think you may have given a bad impression in the first post by calling it 'secret' and 'off-site' and such. i kinda just assumed that anyone who wanted a ballot and has actually heard 30+ albums/tapes from 2010 could have asked in the rolling thread

http://www.rap-n-blues.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Free-Mixtape-Raekwon-Cocainism-Volume-2.jpg

25. Raekwon - Cocainism Vol. 2

# of votes & pts isnt metadata its "data" rite

i must check out the travis porter tape - i think i ignored the name whenever i saw it in the year, because possibly i was confusing them with travis mccoy, but i d/led "make it rain" thanks to someone's EOY list and it's pretty banging

Also, come on, use the real covers.

24. Starlito - Renaissance Gangster

i have heard at least 3+ rap albums this year and i was not offered a ballot frankly!

you guys should make a final call on the goofy pictures because i was so happy when i came up with that idea

do the goofy pictures, anyone can use gis to grab the real pictures if they really feel the need

i vote for proper pictures, soz

I vote for pictures of Goofy

secrete-ly checking this thread in a v. important meeting - what being a goon is all about

lol

re ag yep it is a model for now irrelevant old guys, kind of a new sort of record almost

i voted for it i think

doing work but this is a classic in the making

i'm gonna just come back later

http://www.instablogsimages.com/images/2009/12/17/dzn_dark-side-of-the-moon-by-martin-mostbck-for-vorwerk04_SEwMi_1822.jpg

22. Fat Joe - The Darkside Vol 1

btw

ppl ask all the time -- it happened a few times in the EOY mag list thread & there was a whole separate thread -- asking what the good rap from this past year was

that was also one of the motivations behind doing this poll

cover of the year btw:

http://www.rap-n-blues.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Everythings-Berri-ag-album.jpg

talking of old guys with two-letter stage names, did AZ have a mixtape last year btw? i only heard "feel my pain"

i like angry middle-aged guy rap

i should really have checked the fat joe album out given how much i loved "slow down son", though i've been strictly singles-only for his entire career and it would've felt odd changing that

that AG cover is srt8 chillwave

http://www.jewelinfo4u.com/images/Gallery/Dog-Necklaces.jpg
21. Gucci Mane - Jewelry Selection

j0rdan, starlito is kind of clever and funny and emotional and has a nice way with melody and often does it all like an easy freestyle lazy drawl. check the utube for instance - i didn't vote for it in the end but there are really some jams on that tape imo

dude just kind of mumbles aimlessly imo

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LWFET7ZfpfI/SGJyVxXDEWI/AAAAAAAAA64/d098-Ursw6Q/s400/link_loz_triforce.gif
20. NhT Boyz - Power Triangle Vol. 1

wow

might move on to gifs from here

so far nothing i voted for has made it but that's pretty crazy that NHT Boyz is on here. dope

I need to go back to that. I listened to it once and it was dope but it kinda slipped off my radar.

Hmmm, just realized none of my votes have shown either.

when i saw the "slidin" video i thought it the kidnap plot was disproportionally nasty for the track (even tho it was kind of endearingly false), but the tape really is quite nasty. undeniable tho

nht boys - "slidin"

This is my favorite NHT Boyz joint that isn't on there:

19. Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

good place for it to show up imo

loooooooool that gif

well, well look who's changed his tune about the goofy pix.

rofl @ the power triangle gif

okay i have to go to lunch -- have fun goons

Rev, you sure you don't want to me to post the album cover so everyone knows what the kanye album looks like?

http://straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Kanye-Shrug.jpg

lol @ #19

every one of the 18 to come will have an extra frisson of pleasure

first thing i've heard on here heh

maybe this will be the year i start listening to full tapes instead of just clicking all your youtube links

i really didn't think ye was gonna show up that low tbh

who would've voted for it apart from whiney?

Ye was only on 2/15 ballots, and they were me and J0rdan lol

hahaha

im sure there were 18 better gucci tapes

great thread so far, wish that more people had objected though

I think Kanye at 19 speaks for itself

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n318/erika1234_2006/hahaaaaaaaaaa.gif
18. Rick Ross - Teflon Don

sigh

at least we've got THOSE TWO out of the way

haha i'm actually happier about the low placing of ross than kanye

Surprised to see ross that low too tbh. Just me and surfboards maybe

i still have no idea how many votes it took for an album/mixtape to place in this, so have no idea how likely it is that any more of my votes will show (well, some obv will, but the others)

ross did not make it for me

haha whiney that is a fantastic gif.

Ross was on 4/15 ballots

wheres salem?

Can't wait til Drake wins this, all votes from pseudonyms

Whiney, i know yer doing this with a pencil and the back of a take out menu, but can you plz post how many votes each album got and who voted for it?

at the end of this, if there's some huge call for # of ballots and # of points i'll get all that info together over the weekend, but i'm certainly not going to do it today

I am hopelessly out of the loop with what's chatted abt on the goon thread but I am running through a bunch of NHT Boyz youtubes at the moment and strongly feeling it - really oddly (but impressively) wide variety of production styles + early 90s sort of gangsta aesthetic (figure these guys would have been like toddlers at the time). So in conclusion I approve of this poll

xpost - i was hoping to really avoid stephen ilxor-style data jackoffs and just focus on a good list of records, but if you sad aspbergers clowns can't hold it together without seeing math, i'll figure it out over the weekend

:D

I'm assuming like most ILM polls people will start posting ballots after the results are all up, and considering how few voters there were you'll probably get a good idea of who voted for what then w/o Whiney having to put together a bunch of extra data

surely this isn't THAT stressful

i'm not stressed, i'm shocked at the fucking entitlement of some people

Oh boo hoo.

like maybe this is different from the 3097098308763 other polls on ilx and ppl should just dealwithit.gif

i wish this were a singles poll, feel like im entitled tbh

I feel like we are on the cusp of something awesome

imo metadata for some larger poll like P&J or the sitewide ILM ones can be interesting, w/ a dozen participants it's kind of pointless

you whiners can stephen ilxor guess numbers 1 through 17, because i'm not posting them anymore, eat a dick, crybabies

awesomeness achieved

hahahahaha

it's been kinda good not knowing the likelihood that something will place based on your and probable other votes, since u don't know the amount of votes necessary

u think sum1 so accustomed to counting calories wld be more comfortable counting votes but

Ayo whiney, could you post the delta differential?

loool lamp

i don't think this is about "stats" - it's just that it follows that the person who figured out the winners would have counted the number of points each album received, and then *possibly* they would also know how many of those 15 ballots each album appeared on.

like, i can't think of another way of tabulating results!

hug it out w/whiney g

a perfect thread. I think i joined ilx a month after it.

15. Gudda Gudda - Back 2 Guddaville

i STILL want to know how he was able to post the countdown without knowing how many points each album got

its a reasonable question

What did he mean he did it “manually”

Director's commentary:

I tallied the polls in an excel sheet, not some computer program

iirc, the "not wanting to show votes and points" was partially out of sheer laziness and not caring, partially because I dinged forks' ballot by half.

iirc I obviously thought it was funny that ILX pissed its pants because we had a secret ballot, but thought it was annoying that ILX pissed its pants because I didn't show my math

partially because I dinged forks' ballot by half.

lmao

irl lol

partially because I dinged forks' ballot by half.

incredible reveal

whiney, i think your justification was something like "you haven't listened to enough albums in the genre to give meaningful input" which was such an INTERNET OPINION 4 U that it was difficult to get angry atcha, you scamp you

lol it just gets better

I mean, yeah, again, iirc, you had said something in your email to that extent, and maybe your ballot didn't lineup with the other goons

it was annoying that ILX pissed its pants because I didn't show my math

ha this one caught me by surprise

i vaguely recall being mystified at the goon crus affection for that bizarre industry concoction

dont make me... pop the trunk at yoooooou

for some reason I forgot Yelawolf went back that far, damn

ah no not your trunk plz dont

that album has crazy bass tho, bass that will pop... the trunk

man repair the damn trunk latch

nah it makes a statement when it flies open whilst dragging main

this imo fascinating document of bad art includes evidence of yellawolfs preordained evolution from cartoonish rapper who is a rural southern white to cartoonish rural southern white rapper

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygzRDayKxTk

why did someone make this video? like, what is it for?

its for destroying faith

think that was when em signed all those guys

what a terrible cxvpher

what a funny thread, why did people get so mad

feel like really only one person god so mad and maybe one other person got a lil mad and everyone else was just there for the drama

cxvphers are just an excuse to do rap hands on camera

kaj;sldfjad

this is making my skin crawl but i can't stop watching

lol ive watched it like 5 times before theres something about it you cant look away

the yelawolf "verse" is just complete fucking nonsense and barely even rhymes most of the time

he's the original man of the woods

Eminem rustled the boys together for the “Shady CXVPHER.” Told them all psychically to get their freestyles ready, and the Shady crew did not disappoint. It’s amazing how the point man has fashioned out of such individual emcees a “quintet” in Slaughterhouse and a young macabre sin slinger in Yelawolf. It’s something Aftermath and Shady have been very good at. Their draft picks don’t seem to do much after their stint with the Detroit emcee, but as a squad they absolutely beast.

And that’s what they were brought together to do. Spin tales of their own over a zero beat, and mics so clear you could hear a car straddle a pothole or the eerie silence of a hollowed out industrial crucible in the sky.

some people are just born to do it (write marketing copy)

*whispers* Til It's Gone is kinda nice...

lol i promise i didn't know that existed

original yela tape...... kinda banged

he has a unique take on contrived rap voice

huh this turned into a yelawolf thread somehow.

original trunk muzik mixtape was great; everything after that has been a bummer with occasional glimmers of raw talent. at this point, I'd rather listen to new music from yela than em, though what a low bar.

a close friend's husband tours with him as a musician; he's apparently a good guy to be on the road with.

young macabre sin slinger

he always sucked actually, which circles back to why ppl were making fun this thread

i prob won't read the thread but i think i can guess who the person who got so mad is? is it wrong to assume

yeah guess

...

...

deej?

naw it was shakey

I was so angry but I kept up my trend of reading the thread but not commenting

(mad at being disenfranchised)

(i actually did like the trunk muzik tape that was on this poll and probably voted for it)

everyone is implicated

I still think Bubba Sparxxx Deliverance is a great album

otm

he's done a pretty good job of trying to be a rapper who happens to be white rather than a "white rapper"

I mean you'll always be the white rapper, but you can make a lot of strides

bubba sparxx that is, not this yelawolf guy

bubbas schtick is def better

I was at a concert a couple years back and some of my female friends saw a poster for an upcoming Yelawolf show and were talking about him being hot and I was kind of mortified

i never really got yelawolf either, idk theres probably some post where im softpedaling my dislike bc everyone else seemed so super into it

i think i was also in maximum jacka mode at the time & he was never really a goon fav like yela

yelawolf fever was a lil strange in retrospect! i agree with lagoon

I still ride for those old yela mixtapes and defended them to my friends. Didn't help my case that he eventually became terrible

Idk I guess he was a novelty but he had ridiculous flows and a good amount of off-color creativity. He was another rapper ruined by the 09-12 major labels having no idea what to do with rap albums and trying to make every album into Recovery

I always loved how he examined his whiteness by twisting rap lines, like "I got a pocket full of stones ... when I fell off my dirtbike" which is such a cool/funny way to do it, and yet like right after this we got Mackle

makes me sad the stuff he's stuck doing now, singing hooks for MMAcklemore: https://youtu.be/nHzWPO4FC1E

naw it was shakey

Speaking of shakey - anyone know how he's doing? He's been off ilx a couple months.

i think i was also in maximum jacka mode at the time & he was never really a goon fav like yela

wayne + mac dre

trunk muzik is classic https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CK-UKEPXAAAhR8L.jpg

srsly he became a cornball not long after but he was fire for a minute back in the Obama era

I'm with you flopson. Good to Go is a jam.

he was working w gucci and raekwon and bun b. he just went a different way and that was that,

even half of Radioactive was p good, it's just that the half that wasn't was excruciatingly bad

you know who else fell off a cliff? Waka

waka literally played one show with an edm dj saw how big the money was and how no one was trying to kill him and swore off rap m/l

def the right play

just endless remixes of flockavelli tracks

what's up with the like thirty 2018 Waka releases on Spotify?

think those are all his old tapes

God, i hope Flockaveli 2 if it ever comes out isn't edm'd to death.

I remember my favorite discovery from this list being roc marciano, what an amazing record

yeah holds up well too.

I know Lex Luger got into the EDM game for a minute too. I think he did a joint project with A-Trak a couple years back.

edm is a ponzi scheme when ppl in vegas realize a single bottle of grey goose isnt worth $1000 the whole thing will collapse

There’s a direct line from the 2008 financial crisis to quantitative easing and low interest rates to the Silicon Valley VC bubble to San Francisco real estate prices to burning man to EDM

when ppl in vegas realize a single bottle of grey goose isnt worth $1000 the whole thing will collapse

so...never

lol i paid $50 to see waka play drai's in vegas 2 years ago - after like 3 hours of warmup DJs he came out and did hard in the paint, no hands, two other songs and then just hung out behind his DJ for 45 minutes occasionally shouting in to his mic while the guy played a very adequate mix of EDM and rap music

i didnt buy any bottles but i probably had a vodka on the rocks that ran me $20

was the crowd into it

i think everyone was glad to see waka, myself included

the classic las vegas performance that’s really more of an appearance

i saw waka in new york right before the transition ... he also appeared at a release party for a justly forgotten wyclef jean mixtape that was the best release party i went to my entire time in new york, waka was on a platform to the right repping queens freestyle battling over the "love sosa" instrumental against folks representing brooklyn on a platform on the other side of the room, we were in the middle and i was drunk

im talking about a bar that couldn't have been more than 75 square feet

lol

Nice

awesome

also any musical artist that can get in with the EDM festival circuit and/or the jam band/hippie circuit should just go ahead and do it, cool fans are disloyal and will abandon u

otm

haha yes

like if i managed indie rock ppl like kurt vile, my morning jacket, war on drugs etc who could probably transition to the hippie circuit i would def be angling them that way

my morning jacket p much did fwiw

basically the hottest slot rn for past-their-prime rappers should be opening for 311

oh god lol

p-nut is the new p. diddy

haaa

the nas/damian marley collaboration definitely mined the crossover festival circuit

fyi guys we decided on the tune-yards thread last week that 311 is a good band

jfc that is a depraved sentence

sorry, but its true

you've got to trust your instincts

got to come original

i saw waka at ultra fest like 3 years ago... he was really trying to make the EDM thing work and it seemed like maybe it could at the time but the disparity between the crowd's reaction to his normal rap hits and the shitty generic EDM mixes was very sad to me

lagoon chill w all this misdirected hostility

#OmahaStylee

still the best thread. couldn't get more than ten posts in without giggling

pilot talk 1 aged well imo

feels like another life when I was actually listening to half the shit that made the top 30. think two years later I got so burnt out I kinda took a big step back from hip hop after i gave up trying to keep up with the goons.

I think all the goons kind of gave up a little, except deej who can still muster up “hearing Protect Ya Neck in 1993” energy for 20 rappers with names like Lil Seed

these days that's kinda like me when downloading the latest EP by SATANIC ANAL SLUDGE VOMIT HORDE

Thread is def funny but honestly I still don’t get why ppl were so whiny (no pun etc) about a goon poll on here ... it was a cool idea

Such a great thread for so many reasons but lex’s pollyanna reaction still wins for me.

we really got to see how ilxors would react to an emergency

Not sure how you would engineer a similar clusterfuck in this long twilight era

everyone would just shrug and say "my son is requesting the latest video game"

probably a "Who is the least electable for 2020 president" poll that excludes non-Us citizens and one other regular american pundit as "not being engaged enough in politics"

Uh

still waitin for those fuckin points

as a side note, yelawolf stanning aside excellent taste

this thread rules

at this point, I'd rather listen to new music from yela than em, though what a low bar.
