i dig/would vote for these. some stuff i cut is 'album track' kinda shit like '9x outta ten' or 'stuck between statinos'

the difference between hearing that beat and being inspired to jot something down and grabbing some bars he'd already recorded 3 years earlier is all (xpost)

if I could nom one track that wasn't on the list it would probably be the Fred Falke remix of Golden Cage. Pretty solid list all things considered though! Discovered some great stuff already.

see i have a hard time doing these too, b/c apparently like you i want to shy away from 'album cuts' but going with "lust for life" over "stuck between stations" and "9xs" is really splitting hairs and pretty arbitrary.

tbh im not too into a lot of the rap songs here, or theyd be like ... low on my list. 'throw some d's is not my idea of a great rap song, cool beat but i dunno. rich boy is so workmanlike & boring -- hes the ultimate inverse of everyone's stereotype of nas, picks perfect beats but has a clumsy hardheadedness in style

should have voted for chamillionaire and cassie (duh), might have voted for friendly fires & jackie chain if i'd heard them in time. plus voted for xx's not so great "vcr" instead of the awesome "crystallized" due to brain damage. so the latter, in spirit.
other stuff i liked that might potentially have some kind of vanishing snowball's chance, i hope, maybe:
