the only time my college put 5+ black people in close proximity it was to take a picture for their promotional wing

Guys, if "Surgeon" placed, does that mean "Cruel" won't place? Now that is baffling.

"Cruel" does seem to have more champions, but I personally prefer "Surgeon." (Didn't vote for either, though.)

oh yeah there was a fantastic mr fox refix of brandy's "angel in disguise" too ("angel in disguise" might be My Favourite Brandy Song)

"a great workout track"

Sorry Lex but that's a profoundly depressing endorsement.

i think it's pretty natural - fine lines between working out in a gym and going to dance class to work out to music and being in a club with an MC exhorting you to WORK WORK WORK WORK. it's about pushing yourself physically, working up a sweat. salt'n'pepa doing push ups to "push it"!

XP omg Lou! I heard that "Full Moon" remix at a party but I didn't know it was an actual thing! Thank you!!

Woo! It's trash, but I love it. Great lyrics on Gucci Gucci.

ha "Full Moon" track bangs, totally fucking dig this

trying to figure out if it's worth listening to "Gucci Gucci" again

oh i guess i did vote for that one didn't i...

I'M COLDER THAN THE FRIDGE AND THE FREEZER
I'M SNATCHIN ALL U BITCHES AT MY LEEEIIIII-SURE

i loved the buzzed-about songs by kreayshawn and az banks and lana del rey this year and i'm not ashamed

Gucci Gucci my number 1. I praise the day Deej posted this to gun sounds!!

Gucci Gucci is decent enough but it's no "fishy fishy shrimpy shrimpy"

gucci gucci is the fucking worst

another near miss on my ballot

gucci gucci is the only rap song i know all the words to from the last few years and i'm not ashamed

'County Line' was up in my top 5. It's probably my most listened-to track along with 'The Look' by Metronomy. I do think the line 'I can hear the Columbines' is pretty corny though.

i thought he was saying 'combines'? which makes way more sense?

it's "i can smell the columbines" btw

the lack of Shabazz Palaces, Kendrick Lamar and Schoolboy Q saddens me

weird

<3 gucci gucci but i listen to it pretty selectively

yeah "Gucci Gucci" sounds like a rejected Lady Sovereign track

What's this?

Beastin isn't going to place, is it?

i don't think whiney's pet track on a double album a handful of goons and ilm randoms heard is going to make the top 10, no

Yeah, there's a serious used by date on this track... #famouslastwords

another one of my favourite ilx posts ever:

last week I was stuck on top of a mountain, near the top of a waterfall, in some rickety ass tent and an unexpected snowstorm moved in and I seriously thought I was going to die, because no one else was out there, and Gucci Gucci by Kreayshawn would not stop playing in my head, as I lay in my tent, thinking about how, if I fell asleep, and the snow, or wind, caved the tent in, there would be nowhere to go, and all I would think, over and over, was Gucci Gucci Louis Louis Fendi Fendi Prada

i will also rep for kreayshawn's "rich whores"! FORTY DAYS, 40K, FORTY HOES, FORTY WIVES / FORTY FASHION STUDENTS DESIGNING ALL MY MERCHANDISE

actually my favourite bit in "gucci gucci" might be EDITOR DIRECTOR PLUS I'M MY OWN BOSS. freelancers feel me!

― call all destroyer

He should have used the latin aquilegia so there wouldn't be any confusion.

i thought most ppl knew it was a flower!

that post is a ref to "into the void" no? re: the collapsing tent thing

kudos to johnny for finding a still from the "gucci gucci" video that doesn't make kreayshawn look like a dick, too

lol i know now thanks

brainwasher- <3 but thank nguzunguzu! lol. first heard it on this mix of theirs. pretty sure 90% of my listening in 2011 could be traced back to the fade to mind crew/ extended family in one way or another.

that Jane Child chain! UGH!

I voted for 'Yonkers'. That'll be the last one of mine to place.

Will give the other Destroyer a go, despite being 'blahhh' about the previous one.

WTF at Cass McCombs? I didn't realise he was a thing now...

yeah "Gucci Gucci" sounds like a rejected Lady Sovereign track

I think I have a soft spot for snotty white female rappers, including both Kreayshawn and Lady Sov. There was an Uffie track from last year that I really liked, too.

Will give the other Destroyer a go, despite being 'blahhh' about the previous one.

the track doesn't really start for 4 minutes, FYI

and then it goes on all morning.

btw you guys are welcome; I have been stifling an almost overwhelming urge to post Lady Sov tracks all over the thread

Ch-Ching!

xxp lol you actually might like it emil.y; imagine Don Henley's Boys of Summer as an ice cream cone, and then imagine dropping that ice cream cone on the sidewalk and it melting...

I have been stifling an almost overwhelming urge to post Lady Sov tracks all over the thread

"ch-ching" would be welcome!

only interested in m83 if superpitcher remixes them

I mean granted, there is a disturbing amount of my inner dialogue that mirrors the running through the halls scene in "The Breakfast Club" so stuff like this is going to appeal to me regardless.

La Lechera - "wounded birdies in a fug" is a great turn of phrase but I'm not sure whom it references.

That's to JoJo

decent track but it's no graveyard girl

Thanks DJP!

Sax solo on Midnight City is what pushes it above being stock M83 for me. Still, didn't like the most recent album enough to vote for it or any tracks from it.
