I totally didn't see this, arrrgh!

"we r who we r" is one of my favorite singles of the year -- the final two choruses are a great payoff & generally I now consider this to be Luke's masterpiece

(btw I'm on my lunch break right now)

she sounds like actual vomit

also sick of reading 1000-word tumblr screeds about why she's the most important pop star in forever, as if everything she does hasn't been done before and better by OH GOD EVERYONE. it's not her aesthetic i object to, i've loved bratty drunk partygirl club pop for as long as i can remember, but her execution - like she can't even get my sweetspot right. i really wish she'd fuck the fuck off.

I hope I succeeded in making ke$ha look classy -- it was a difficult task

You made her look like UK tabloid stable Katie Price. Still, they don't all have to be classy.

emil.y, this works. Be warned though.

lool e.mily

I actually kind of like Kesha but she seems to be suffering from diminishing returns...every subsequent song after Tik Tok makes me more and more impatient for it to end...

i like the part where she falls off a building

There's something about the song that is less... bleating than a lot of Dr Luke joints andrelies on great vocal melodies as opposed to trying to bash you over the head with the beat

I'm sure it's been said several times already but these jpegs in the movies-of-the-00s style are a joy - so much more fun than YouTube clips. (Enthusiasm not specifically inspired by the Ke$ha pic)

guys this is terrible (and nothing like marina - completely lacks her invention and ear for sonic detail) and I have no choice but to foist this brilliance upon you

emil.y, even. soz :/

are we going to have the jpegs for the albums too?

Love the resonance of Gil's voice matched with the cello in the last minute or so of 'Me & The Devil'.

(TIE) 56. NICKI MINAJ FT. EMINEM "Roman's Revenge" [254 points, 11 votes]
Youtube

jpegs are great J0rdan & I imagine kind of a lot of work too....Thanks a lot!

What a great silly pop song. Vacant in a good way. I've avoided most Ke$ha till now (I think I've heard "Tik Tok" once) but I have to question why.

LOL at her metal eyebrow things. Kesha's persona is so transparently fake and ridiculous that it's hard to see why anyone gets worked up over her.

Yay. My fav off the album!

Special jpegs? I'm thinking about it.

nice

Ke$ha's voice is horrible, but I guess I relate to the inherent nihilism of the lyrics more than some of the more "thoughtful" or "uplifting" tracks that have shown up in this list so far.

NICKI!

I HEAR THE MUMBLIN / I HEAR THE CACKLIN
I GOT EM SCARED / SHOOK / PANICKIN
OVERSEAS / CHURCH / VATICAN

WTF? I expected Roman's Revenge to go top 20.

Kesha is rubbish and annoying but I still prefer it to some of the stuff that has placed to rapturous applause.

And... yay, Nicki is the second of mine to place!

"I am not Jasmin, I am Aladdin"

if only it were part of the blues tradition to change lyrics

lol, whiney. i'm not objecting cuz heron's fucking up the "blues tradition." i'm complaining cuz he switched out a tough, scary, classic line for a weaksauce nothing one. "see my woman til i get satisfied?" no.

omg she has so many kooky vocal techniques!

this isn't bad mind. not bad at all! altho the drums are rly weak

Nice despite Eminem

I've only heard one Nicki Minaj track, and that's "Bottoms Up". I fucking love it though. Will I like the other stuff?

overall tho it's good yeah, and now some kickass organs came in :)

"ruh ruh like a dungeon dragon" -- is this actually the chorus??

i like when it goes all game show themetuney before Em's last verse.

Thank u drugs, glad y'all enjoy them

I have a feeling that as "roman's revenge" will show up higher in p&j next year than this year

Anyway I would've voted for it had we been voting today

Eminem has a typically offensive and misogynist cameo...no thanks.

Minaj song is pretty cool...liking it a lot.

(Hate to say it, but I hope this is the last Eminem we hear on this countdown)

I kinda hate that flourish in the beat tho

i fucking love how unhinged nicki sounds on this - so much fun to rap along to. I'M A BAD BITCH - I'M A CUNT!

also i cannot hear eli manning's names in the right order any more. M-M-M-MANNING ELI!

"ruh ruh like a dungeon dragon" -- is this actually the chorus??

Yeah! Brilliant, isn't it?

roman's revenge is effin brilliant. helps make up for that ke$ha shit. eminem verse almost kills it though...

Yeah! Brilliant, isn't it?

hell yah

she loves her english accent doesn't she :P

liked that

Also her 'English' accent on "come on" makes me lol

this isn't bad mind. not bad at all! altho the drums are rly weak

No way bro

not the word I'd use but whatever

I've only heard one Nicki Minaj track, and that's "Bottoms Up". I fucking love it though. Will I like the other stuff?

you'll love her larger-than-life, character-driven rap stuff where she plays around with accents and voices and generally tries to top her own insanity every time out, and hate her autotuned pop trax.

Yeah, I'm not a massive fan of the Eminem bit, but at least it's not Drake. And NM more than makes up for it.

And I ADORE the terrible English accent.
