Yo. Thing is, I got a snotty message back immediately from ahh for voting for this.

So, no time to vote but plenty of time to complain about the results? gtfo x 100

Yah how could I possiblyhave more time on a friday night! Don't be butthurt bcuz I don't think the beastie boys made three of the 100 best rap albums ever

This was my vote. Almost custom built to annoy goon crew people. But if Trip Hop's biggest failure was one of taxonomy - it wasn't trippy, it wasn't hip hop - then this is the antidote. A genuinely psychedelic record with loose, medicated rapping. The song Rock And Roll is amazing. (As most hip hop songs with rock and roll in the title tend to be.)

He's an amazing DJ. I've seen him do a set using Turkish psych, Anatlolian pop and the like as source material - fucking great.

Paul's Boutique is no worse than Straight Outta Compton. [/challops]

I mean, title track aside, the rapping and the production sucks major balls.

Sure, it's well fucking exciting but it's not a good record.

Just like a tortoise/ full of rigor mortis.

He's an amazing DJ. I've seen him do a set using Turkish psych, Anatlolian pop and the like as source material - fucking great.

TBH this kinda description never sounds appetising to me. Seems like any random DJ set at a goverment-funded arts event.

sort of a w/e list i guess - lots of relative placement weirdness. but i dont really know abt rap music idk. stuff i wouldve voted for that not many ppl did:

supa dupa fly, labor days, trap muzik, mr. scarface is back, grip it!, ill communication probably lots of nerdy backpacker shit...

the only thing that 'bugs' me tho really is the (very) low placement of life after death. love that record so much...

Tim F - We don't really have government funded hip hop in the uk... I'm a big fan of good scratch DJs using records with strong beats, no matter where they come from. But I know what you mean, I've seen DJ Rupture do a set using Eastern European music and it was shockingly bad - like Gogol Bordello with a donk on.

huh? i don't give a shit about the Beasties and DL said Paul's Boutique was way too high

xpost Ha, I'm not butthurt about your opinions - in fact I agree with a whole bunch of the assessments in your long post. I just think that if you can't find to vote during a month-long window then you shouldn't bitch about the results. Just one more vote could have tipped any of the 100-150 placements into the top 100.

I meant "find time to vote"

i havent been keeping track of which complaints specific ppl had that was just a blanket rme

xxp

Edan - Beauty And The Beat 1 25

This was my vote.

my vote too! did we mistabulate??

favorite misread ilm posts

looool

should've voted on this and just thrown 60 points at the score. or i would've if i knew it wasn't gonna make it in. i don't listen to enough full albums of anything to make a decent list.

lol hoos

i'm not a regular on the hiphop threads and i lurk mostly so my single post is fairly inconsequential. but anyway big props to a hoy hoy cos this poll has thrown up loads of things i've heard of before but not heard. as a 40sthg my listening prefs were more of the late 80s and early 90s hence my no1 vote for tuff crew, who continue to not get the recognition i think they deserve for 'back to wreck shop'. dj too tuff does great work (partic on 'what you don't know'), and there's a great flow to the whole album. here are a couple of highlights. /out

kinda surprised how much deej and I are in sync on his breakdown, don't get the hell hath no fury hating tho

not to rehash this but c'mon look at what albums placed lower than HHNF, it's pretty insane

but it got the dreaded GTFO x1000 rating

str8 retardation

calling it one of the top 30 rap albums of all time and the 2nd best album of the last 9 years is pretty gtfo

altho ud have to be v naive not to expect it

i dunno i feel like the electorate exercised a decent amount of restraint w/r/t the placings of other corny internet faves.

yeah idgi

like just talking about it this much makes me want to listen to "mr me too"

soz for the double attack there. unintended computer glitch.

well those are the 04-07 neptunes 'classics' your boy tyler gets all his inspiration from

wamp wamp there it is there it is

lol @ my boy tyler

man that sounds racist

i was the other immortal technique voter, whitey! that album has a quote i believe applies to these results:

you shouldn't fucking talk about telekinesis
n please, moving shit with your mind
try moving ya moms out the projects with your rhymes

all I need to know about this poll is that the forgettable A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing placed in the top 100 while the fucking towering conscious masterpiece To the East, Blackwards didn't so if everybody feels some guy who doesn't really keep up w/rap but used to love the shit out of it rolling his damn eyes please rest assured that it is me doing so in your non-X-Clan-appreciating direction

also sons of the p > sex packets but why even get started

Yo driver, pull over. I need my mid day Heineken.

if everybody feels some guy who doesn't really keep up w/rap but used to love the shit out of it rolling his damn eyes please rest assured that it is me doing so in your non-X-Clan-appreciating direction

Sissies. . .

but it got the dreaded GTFO x1000 rating

wait is immortal technique delmar

suddenly so much makes sense

prodigy delmar and immortal technique never seen together think about it

except all immortal technique songs are about the economy and how it hurts migrant workers
