i loved the "still tippin" remix with nicole wray too. "it's a man's world/but it wouldn't be nothin without me and my girls"

wow!!!!

(xp) Actually prefer the original Blind to the Frankie Knuckles. Both classics though.

...and i love "stay fly-y-y-y-y-y" too!

staaaaaaaaaay flllllllllllllllly-y-y-y-y-y-y iy!

Was there a funner song in the past 5 years?

really kind of exciting that "Stay Fly" beat out so many seemingly more likely songs for highest Proper Rap Hit on the list

we still haven't seen "Paper Planes" *ducks*

totally agree w/jord re: "blind"

it's kind of amazing to me that people like Antony warbling that much

"Paper Planes" and "Umbrella" etc. are what I was willfully excluding from Proper Rap Hit standing

haha I know, I was just being annoying

I'm listening to "Stay Fly" now, it's nice enough, but I'm not sure why it placed so high? Pretty standard beat and standard lyrics, it's all done very well, but I'm not hearing anything really special in it...

ban tuomas

can't stand antony's voice.. even excepting that, the appeal of "blind" is a mystery to me

Er, instead of banning me, maybe you can explain why this is better than the other rap tunes on this list? I'm seriously interested to know.

smoke all night, sleep all day
that's gon be the american way

judging southern rap songs on your first listen via a youtube is kinda fucking lame, imo

also the "mary jaaaane" verse

Ok, the "fly-y-y-y" bit is catchy, but the I've always found the sort of ratatatat synth hi-hat tick like used in this tune kinda irritating, and by 2005 it was way overdone already.

omg we're @ the top 5

OMG I KNOW RIGHT!?1

05. THE JUAN MACLEAN "Happy House" (2008) [681.5 points, 27 votes, 2 first place votes]

Yes! This song >>>> every LCD song.

3 minutes of Happy House is not nearly enough!

Well the full-length version does anyway.

xp!

I actually like the video, so I posted the edit. The full-length version for people not familiar:

wait isnt the full length like 11 minutes?

that's certainly not the full length either

yeah

kind of avoiding clicking on any of the songs here i haven't heard in part because i know i'd start trolling this thread pretty damn fast

All I have is the 12 plus minute version.

Yeah? I think maybe you're right. I haven't listened to that version in a long time though, so I forgot.

the 3 min version is the single edit, that 5 min version is the one that leaked out before the full one was even released iirc

Anyway, that's all that's on youtube (that I saw)

next!

five min version is frustrating cuz it cuts off arbitrarily just as it gets going :(

Alright, but I have to run out to the store for a bit. I'll be back soon, I hope, because if I get in a crash and I die, you'll just have to eternally wonder which three songs took the top of the poll and how they were ordered...
