stuff i voted for, doubtless outing me as undiscerning fan of only the most obvious shit i'm told to hear:

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:
Gnarls Barkley - CrazyE-40 ft. Keak da Sneak - Tell Me When to GoLady Gaga - Poker FaceM.I.A. - Paper PlanesFever Ray - Keep The Streets EmptyClipse - TrillLCD Soundsystem - North American ScumLil Mama - Lip GlossLil Wayne - A MilliThree 6 Mafia ft. Project Pat - Poppin My CollarFranz Ferdinand - Do You Want ToBirdman & Lil Wayne - Stuntin' Like my daddyKelly Clarkson - Since U Been Gonekelis - bossy
bummed to hear that "this ain't a scene" won't make it ;_____;

i would really like "bossy" to place, but im not confident
also, no t.i., right? are "whatever you like" & "what you know" both top-20? seems unlikely
― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 13:04 (thirteen years ago) link
what you know is top 5 is my guess, whatever you like won't make it
― fuque santa cruz (a hoy hoy), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 13:09 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah I'd go with that. I've never heard Whatever You Like referred to as a best-of-decade contender.

― Jeff W, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 13:25 (thirteen years ago) link
it's pretty insane that the only Lil Wayne track of any kind from the past 5 years that'll be on this list is "A Milli"

20 seems about right, I didn't really see it as a top 10 contender seeing as it only got to about number 8 in its year end poll.
I think it's one of the few rap records of the last few years that I know all the words to.
― Vulvuzela (Matt DC), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 14:09 (thirteen years ago) link

― teledyldonix, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 14:10 (thirteen years ago) link
"A Milli" basically justifies Lil Wayne for me; I'm very hot and cold on his other stuff but everything about that track is perfection.

the only Wayne on my ballot was "We Takin' Over" and "Stuntin' Like My Daddy" but on the real this list should've had at least as many of his songs as it did Kanye's
― kind of trill and very self-righteous (some dude), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 14:24 (thirteen years ago) link
FAR too much Kanye on this list for my liking. Can't be arguing with International Players Anthem though, terrific record, even taking Andre 3000's verse into account.

song that didn't make it, and it kind of bums me out:
BORIS, "I Just Abandoned My-Self"
song that I really hopes makes the top 20:
NELLY FURTADO, "Say It Right"
