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.

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 :(

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...

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
― the boy boy young messi (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:53 (thirteen years ago) link
and btw danger mouse has not ever done "far better"
wow the point distances between consecutive songs now are getting enormous.
― teledyldonix, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:54 (thirteen years ago) link
at least there's no Gorillaz tracks to come or I'd really hate this top 10. Lex, you will agree with me on that too I'm sure!
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:54 (thirteen years ago) link
so, top three are 1 Thing, Umbrella, and Paper Planes?

there's a lot of first place votes to come, unless people didn't rank their ballots

Ugh. I should quit now then.
― seandalai, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 18:56 (thirteen years ago) link
I don't like anything else Gnarls Barkley's done, but "Crazy" is still dope. The bass sample is some deep shit, and Cee-Lo's little laugh is a cool moment mid-song. But I agree that Cee-Lo's done better things on his own ("Glockappella"!), not sure about Danger Mouse though.

love crazy to death, stan forever. amazing track, so deep and haunting, timeless vocal, will still sound great 50 years from now. like several DM & jem tunes almost as much (what u sittin on, ghetto pop life).

speaking of beyonce, how come no one did put a thug on it? seems like a missed opportunity...

The only problem with Crazy was that it was super overplayed.
