ILM'S TOP 77 TRACKS of 2010

omg the clean video is so pointless

explicit hard in da paint

at least the jpegs has stopped ilxor from making a fake #1

i thought about it, did a jpg one last year w/ susan boyle actually

Sorry. I didn't check it. I just posted the link J0rdan sent me.

fucking love round & round, i have no articulate way of expressing why its so good. its just very odd, catchy, and i just love the combination of wistful melancholy and goofiness. such good vibes.

also fucking love hard in da paint. should be number one.

Y'all know #1 is going to be "Like a G6" right? I'm not even going to bother posting it.

waka not really my thing but it's a unique and fully realized aesthetic and i can't kill it

lol i would be fine with that jf

j/k

oh man is there any youtube videos that dont have comments about justin bieber? from black metal to undiscovered amazonian tribes jazz music there is no escape

Highest rated comments

Hard in da Paint is good but I liked Lightweight Jammin & Black and Yellow more...

^^ this

had so much fun at house parties this year playing hard in da paint and seeing everyone go crazy

"Let Me Smang It" : Hip Hop :: "Round and Round" : Indie

So yeah, a couple of years ago it felt like a load of rap fans were overcompensating for pop-rap by throwing their weight behind these really limited MCs like M.O.P. and whoever, who nevertheless had impeccable hardcore credentials. That's exactly what the Hard In Da Paint bandwagon reminds me of, it just sounds lumbering and clumsy to me.

this is just a younger generation's 'ante up'

u miss the point

the idea that hard n da paint is being overhyped like grime is lol

could be...

xpost

Sorry but Ante Up shits all over this from a massive height

it's kind of crazy to me how condescending people can be about these choices when the number of votes for each song is right there in the post. like you realize you're basically directly being a dick to large numbers of people who are actively following this thread, right?

imo doing the ILM poll earlier next time would be a good idea if the results are gonna be this close to P&J, feels anticlimactic

BMF is a younger generation's (inferior) Ante Up

Except I didn't actually say it was being "overhyped like grime".

Haha but I love Ante Up. Maybe I'm just old.

I know nothing about this - was "Hard in da Paint" a hit? Or is it a very local thing irl?

This just feels big and bullying and doesn't have any real ferocity, bite or kinesis IMO but then w/e

Not exactly blown away by Waka Flocka, but I would buy the person who came up with Waka Flocka Seagulls first a drink.

i like the timing! feels like a good palate cleanser after the lol/wtf of the P&J results

i mean there's been minimal butthurtness in here so unless you're implying that most of the electorate is silently weeping i have no idea why you chose to raise this point

whattayathink some dude? doing nom's two weeks before p&j drops?

gonna listen to ante up right now actually

someone's already used that as a screen name here iirc

is this really similar to p&j?

omg what are you talking about? so rong i can't believe it. go listen to janelle monae or w/e

I think the P&J thing was a joke.

if any lurkers have been silently weeping they can damn well put fingers to keyboard and defend their choices, lol

lj otm, actually

don't understand your post, Drugs

It's always w/in a week or two after P&J.

is this really similar to p&j?

― call all destroyer

Well Jonsi only got as far as #31 on P/J so, no.

I think the P&J thing was a joke.

i thought so for a sec--quality deadpan if that's the case

is everyone hating on 'hard n da paint' "ilxor," old and/or british, just checking

Talking trash about a track != talking trash about the people who voted for it

or, if we weren't allowed to loudly complain about each and every track on this list, this wouldn't be ILM

deej i LIKE hard in da paint, i just agree w/ LJ that it feels "big" w/o really bowling me over

ante up will be played at my wedding

It's always w/in a week or two after P&J.
