Was there a funner song in the past 5 years?
― fuque santa cruz (a hoy hoy), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:16 (thirteen years ago) link
really kind of exciting that "Stay Fly" beat out so many seemingly more likely songs for highest Proper Rap Hit on the list
― some dude, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:18 (thirteen years ago) link
we still haven't seen "Paper Planes" *ducks*
― emo WINNER! (HI DERE), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:19 (thirteen years ago) link
totally agree w/jord re: "blind"
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:19 (thirteen years ago) link
it's kind of amazing to me that people like Antony warbling that much
― emo WINNER! (HI DERE), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:21 (thirteen years ago) link
"Paper Planes" and "Umbrella" etc. are what I was willfully excluding from Proper Rap Hit standing
― some dude, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:21 (thirteen years ago) link
haha I know, I was just being annoying
― emo WINNER! (HI DERE), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:22 (thirteen years ago) link
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...

can't stand antony's voice.. even excepting that, the appeal of "blind" is a mystery to me
― hobbes, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:24 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

judging southern rap songs on your first listen via a youtube is kinda fucking lame, imo
― hobbes, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:26 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:27 (thirteen years ago) link
omg we're @ the top 5

Yes! This song >>>> every LCD song.
― seandalai, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:34 (thirteen years ago) link
3 minutes of Happy House is not nearly enough!
― skip, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:35 (thirteen years ago) link
Well the full-length version does anyway.
xp!
― seandalai, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:35 (thirteen years ago) link
I actually like the video, so I posted the edit. The full-length version for people not familiar:

― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:37 (thirteen years ago) link
wait isnt the full length like 11 minutes?
― fuque santa cruz (a hoy hoy), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:38 (thirteen years ago) link
that's certainly not the full length either
― the boy boy young messi (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:38 (thirteen years ago) link
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
― some dude, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:38 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:39 (thirteen years ago) link
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
― the boy boy young messi (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:39 (thirteen years ago) link
Anyway, that's all that's on youtube (that I saw)
next!
― Davey Mo Coulier (some dude), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:45 (thirteen years ago) link
five min version is frustrating cuz it cuts off arbitrarily just as it gets going :(
― good news if you wear cargo shorts (contenderizer), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:47 (thirteen years ago) link
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...

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:51 (thirteen years ago) link
ugh, "crazy", such a boring song
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:52 (thirteen years ago) link
still hate everything about that song. the vocals, the boring-ass beat, the boring-ass predictable progression. and of course, the lyrics.
― hobbes, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:53 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh no. I mean...cultural phenomenon certainly, but just so....eh. Everyone involved has done far better.
― Alex in Montreal, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:53 (thirteen years ago) link
i think it's clearly a classic, not like i want to hear it anymore but yeah
