2010 GOON POLL results: The Top 30 Hip-Hop/Rap Albums of 2010

no idea what MellowHype is

me neither

is he one of those odd future kids

y

aw man I made a spreadsheet and everything

does Wale have a deep song about race relations that samples the Seinfeld black & white cookie episode?

finally getting some SWAG into the list

i think we're gonna be the only list w/ two odd future releases but no tyler

btw i don't know what the results are

listened to the mellowhype once, didn't get into it. should prob give it another try. i know odd future and lil b are doing important and innovative and admirable things but i can never bring myself to really care about gonzo/punk shit :(

well.... the music isn't really the same -- like i could give someone an odd future release and it would just scan as normal rap music, albeit violent/abhorrent etc

lil b is a different realm, musically speaking

i put domo pretty high up on my list. i also put tyler in it.

did tyler get disq'd because it was 09?

tbh I wouldn't really expect you to like either just because they are so gonzo/punk xps

no we didn't disq tyler

still haven't heard ANYTHING by odd future yet; what's the OPO track?

who is the one poster who is a total nazi about release dates?

xpost, the Earl video def

what's really special about odd future beyond the horrorcore element?

every so often lil b really hits the spot for me - totally get the whole #BASED thing, his whole aesthetic, i'm just rarely in the mood to actually listen to it, and it's not something you can really force

I need to check out the MellowHype. I'd rate the OFWGKTA releases I heard this year as Radical > Tyler > EARL.

what's really special about odd future beyond the horrorcore element?

the rapping is often very good on a technical level

i.e. EARL

what i like about odd future are when the actual touching moments pop up, like Tyler going off about his read dad, etc, it comes as a curveball amidst all the horror stuff

lex, you get #based but you don't get kids who are actually rapping?

what's really special about odd future beyond the horrorcore element?

well, the whole horrorcore element is really only tyler and earl, but there's this whole vulnerability lurking just beneath the veneer + dudes are just really talented rappers plus they have a dope lo-fi aesthetic.

HOW THE FUCK I FIT AN AXE IN A SATCHEL?
SLIP CAPSULES IN HER DRINK, SHE DIZZEE RASCAL

hard to find as retarded kids at harvard it's
wolf gang barking keep u up like car alarms and shit

odd future was also the most inspiring music to me this year as well -- there was an umatched excitement for me in terms of kids creating something w/ such a defined and identifiable aesthetic

why is the "kids" part important. i mean they're not that much younger than a lot of other people out there making music are they?

yeah, they're like 16-19 instead of like 22-27

which is a gulf of time when you're that age

iirc

Face it, me and Ace is sick like malaria carriers
Jim Carrey her to the cemetary to bury her

the earl video is...this is why i don't listen to, like, metal or punk or whatever

earl is 16!

didn't this happen the year before with jerk? and actually happens quite a lot in hip-hop?

yeah, they're like 16-19 instead of like 22-27

this is otm

on a technical level tho regardless of age a lot of odd future's raps just killed it

idk it's a lot because they rap from teen pov, not grown man shit, and also technical precociousness on some "nas and az were teenagers when they made life's a bitch"

i don't think jerk had it's own font, dude

^^^

basically all that deliberately gross/scatological teenage boy shit really bores me. and they have rape jokes on top of that? right.

forgive me if i'm not judging scenes by their fonts

yeah, they're like 16-19 instead of like 22-27

everyone else making music is 22 or older?

weren't most of the jerk kids teenagers too?

god you are a stubborn dipshit sometimes, al

my main problem w/ all the cooking dance songs is that the jonboy track "let that boy cook" is >>>> all of the b cooking dance songs

late on this but otm

most rappers i dig are at least 8-10 years older than odd future

Yeah but the rapping itself is really good. And the beats too. Yeah their horrorcore steez isn't for everyone, but remember, Method Man once threatening to sew an man's asshole shut and keep feeding and feeding him.

Y'all's are mean to me...

ayo when you're on top remember who was a helpful o.g. :)

ilx will be great in like four years when every website is just a bunch of rotating videos w/ :30 ads in between
