and u hate e-40! ban gr8080

i never said i hate him. grow up you suffering dick bag /whiney

idk if we can handle another deej/third-party beef

jokes bro

guess i'm just not cut out 2 b a goon

same here :)

(xpost)

is lex the only one to vote for pink friday?

that was a bit of a "real talk" vote - i was as dismissive as anyone when it came out (not so much disappointed cuz i expected how watered down it'd be - or seem, anyway) - i'm just not going to front on how much i came back to a lot of that album, esp with the bonus tracks, and how GREAT it is when it's good

i mean sure the rah digga album, say, is "better", but at the same time there's nothing on it that's clocking up the last.fm scrobbles a tenth as much as the best stuff on pink friday

My ballot:

E-40 - Revenue Retrievin' Day Shift/Night Shift
Curren$y - Pilot Talk 1 & 2
Drake - Thank Me Later
Waka Flocka Flame - Flockaveli
Rick Ross - Teflon Don
Earl Sweatshirt - Earl
Tyler the Creator - Bastard
Das Racist - Sit Down, Man
Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot
Wiz Khalifa - Kush and Orange Juice
DaVinci - The Day the Turf Stood Still
The Jacka and Laroo - Neva Be the Same
Big K.R.I.T. - K.R.I.T. Wuz Here
Roc Marciano - Marcberg
Diddy-Dirty Money - Last Train to Paris

Only vote for Thank Me Later?

didn't vote but here's my top 15 :

all-star - starlito's way 3
big boi - sir lucious left foot the son of chico dusty
danny brown - the hybrid
davinci - the day the turf stood still
earl sweatshirt - earl
e-40 - revenue retrievin
gucci mane - mr zone 6
lil b - 6 kiss
lil boosie - incarcerated
roc marciano - marcberg
travis porter - proud 2 be a problem
tyler the creator - bastard
waka flocka flame - flockavelli
yelawolf - trunk muzik 0-60

+ cutthroat - the takeova

is that ranked sis?

i tried to listen to danny brown's mixtape before the album and it was boring as fuck tbh

The Gangrene album is another good one I got on too late.

Been bumpin this many times tho:

yes, alphabetically.

I think danny brown's personality is the opposite of boring

gangrene was on a whiney ballot

well it was just a cursory listen, to some of detroit state of mind 4, so u cld be right. i think i'd confused him with someone else in my head and was expecting something diff

na'tee is incredible but that mixtape is an old school definition of a mixtape, im not sure she even really reinvents any songs on it -- shes just a great rapper
looking forward to new shit from her tho

lol @ premo's first record to get 5 mics since... life after death? coming at the butt end of his list.

honest question: does "5 mics" still mean anything? i have no idea.

Fuck 5 mics, I'd rather have... a fan base I could tour form?

dunno if you noticed (prob not) but i thought it was pretty lol #shotsfired that tom b. at pfork gave bun's album 5/10 after the source gave it 5 mics

'the number was right, its just the scale that was off'

i guess thats what i mean-- like does anyone give a shit what the source has to say anymore

does anyone give a shit what the source anyone has to say anymore

is this the real life
is this just fantasy

i dunno what whiney's point is, but in terms of editorial direction, no one cares what teh source has to say no

but like do dudes still rap about being the "next 5 mics" and shit is what i'm asking

well maybe, but only as a metaphor for "give me my credit" or w/e -- rappers don't actually care about the source/critics & there are really no influential rap critics right now

critics now are more influential in creating/forming a narrative or pushing an unknown artist -- i.e. noz w/ lil b or xxl w/ their freshman stuff -- but no critic/publication can affect an actual album/mixtape

i'm like mike, the greatest i need five mics
and five dykes to sit next to me fight night
