ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2012

first thing i voted for on the list!

This G-Dragon is fun but kind of a mess. I don't know if I can do Guetta-pop bosh and tarp beats in the same song. Cool that a non-Gangnam K-rap song made the list tho.

I'd put good money on some BIGBANG tracks appearing later

because in germany that link contains a copyright violation and is forbidden!

The main problem I have with 'Crayon' is that the pun is so laboured. For a good pun, you need both sides to be resonant, not just "oh yeah, get your cray on", and a fucking child's drawing implement. BAH.

btw as starter of the javiera mena thread I unreservedly recommend both mena and esquemas juveniles, both excellent front-to-back, some of the best music released last decade

how many HOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEES

love "my cabana" tho i think it juuust missed my ballot due to assuming others would pick up my slack

how many HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOES?

How many HOOS?

for some reason i didn't realise til now that he styles his name "ty dolla $ign" these days rather than "ty$"

I don't actually like My Cabana very much at all but the 'HOW MANY HOOOOOEEEEEEEES' bit is hilarious.

haha that bit makes the song

iirc everyone in the ty$ thread had differing interpretations of it. mine was

- it's the second "HOOOOOOEEEEES" that pushes it over the top - like you have the first sudden passionate one cutting through the ~party smoke~ and then the second descending one is like "no i REALLY mean it"
- i initially envisaged a situation where ty$ has stockpiled all these hoooooooeees in his cabana and is feeling pretty smug about life and then he suddenly looks around and they are all talking to each other and none of them are looking at him - it has this sudden solitude about it

he is on some serious drugs, the way his eyes are totally fixed...

My Cabana was released too late for one of the cooking scenes in Breaking bad.

So Jarvis being smug is symptomatic of everything that's wrong with society, but blatant misogyny is cool, and in fact something you enjoy singing out at the top of your lungs? Is this what we're saying?

- it's the second "HOOOOOOEEEEES" that pushes it over the top - like you have the first sudden passionate one cutting through the ~party smoke~ and then the second descending one is like "no i REALLY mean it"

Yeah, this is key. Also Skrillex x Mint Condition samples.

it's funny how the video answers ty$'s question with "three"

lol

dying

Wondering whether it's wise to ask for an explanation or not

FERRAGAMO COVER ME
PUERTO RICAN, JAPANESE, WE LAID UP AT THE DOUBLE TREE

oh god the split screen in this video lolol

Ty$ is really creepy and has serious issues with women and I don't think anyone denies this but this song is amazing regardless. I find his misogyny too much over the course of his full album tho. :/

i love the intro to this

Oh damn, I don't think I've seen the "Same Damn Time" video.

Progress: from 3 hos to 2.

I love the beat and backing track on "Same Damn Time". Is there an instrumental out there?

Same Damn Time is amazing and narrowly missed my list. The album is excellent.

more motherfucking hip-hop shite

I like other bits of the Future album here and there but I'm happier having resigned myself to the fact that massive lumbering bombastic fanfare rap production isn't for me whoever's over the top.

hip-hop so shite

Yeah, it's a shame ALL 77 SPOTS can't be something you personally voted for. : /

the album turned me off future in a big way but relistening to this in isolation i remember how much i loved it to start with

(I'm into this Future track, btw...hadn't heard it prior to today, but I see his name all the time here at work.)

future in banger mode >>>>>> future in garbled space ballad mode

i like the garbled space ballad genre, myself

That sounds like something I'd like more than this.

well this won't be the only future song in this poll..

I love the beat and backing track on "Same Damn Time". Is there an instrumental out there?

It's all about how Future's vocals become progressively more unhinged as the song goes along tho.

There will be garbled space ballads.

I like the drugged quality of the Ty$ backing track better than the ott bombast of same damn time

I fucking love Javeria Mena, but I have trouble thinking of "Luz de Piedra de Luna" as having anything to do with 2012. Even though it was officially a single this year, it's not like I came across it on the radio or anything.

I have no use for Future's vocals. I'm tired of him long before he becomes unhinged.

boy your money and my money AIN'T THE SAME DAMN KIND

I think he's my second-favorite vocalist of the year after Miguel. He's so blues (although less so here than elsewhere).

future in banger mode >>>>>> future in garbled space ballad mode

this is so, so wrong

The one garbled space ballad off Pluto that i really liked was I'm Trippin'

the song that won me over to future was 'no matter what' which is neither a banger or a garbled space balled.
