ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2012

there must be more than 4. what do u think they will be al?

ca$hin out, at least?

also 'gangnam style' ; )

'Amen', I hope.

Given the vote splitting and low placing of most of the Nicki tracks it's quite possible that Kendrick could miss the top 77 altogether.

34. CHIEF KEEF FT. LIL REESE "I Don't Like" [291 points, 11 votes, 1 first place vote]

Spotify / Youtube

wahey

Can't wait for alex in mainhattan to weigh in on this.

If "Amen" doesn't make it I will be rampaging.

imo the most likely rap songs still to come, in descending order: turn on the lights, swimming pools, gangnam style, bitch don't kill my vibe, i don't like, cartoon & cereal, reagan, rack city uhh that's it

ha xpost

ha i had just posted this and got xp'd

i'd imagine at least one of the chief keef singles nom'd would place...

My #3. Triumphant.

The Funkystepz remix of this one bangs as well btw.

Absolutely. In fact, I voted for this one on the strength of that remix since the remix wasn't nommed.

i don't always listen to "i don't like" anymore when i'm listening to 'finally rich' and i don't ever throw it on solo but obv a classic anthem

my hope for trina's "beam" is probably in vain

xp mega classic

Yeah 'Turn On The Lights' will place.

"i don't like" is another that works way better in communal settings

I've never heard it communally but I can feel that still.

This track is okay for about 2:30. No reason it needs to be five minutes long.

when i take my shirt off and lunge around with my friends waving guns i usually listen to kate bush tbh

lmbo

nah, steamrollers move slowly xp to jf

It's five minutes of a steamroller being a city block away, coming at you, but never arriving.

i love "i don't like" but this needs to be re-posted regardless:

I do love it when internet rap dudes take criticism of an artist they like as an opportunity to say somebody's assailing rap. the most cowardly grade-school defense imaginable. the subject is chief keef and how his album is a bunch of garbage by a guy who I, literally me, the middle-aged white guy talking to you, could decimate in a battle, because I could rap much better than him and I can't rap for shit. deej could beat keef in battle. whiney too. Tuomas would body Keef in 8 bars and drop the mic onto the icy Finnish stage, and mist would rise from the mic, and the mist would spell "HOW CAN ACTUAL RAP HEADS WITH CRED REP THIS HOT GARBAGE" in a small speech-bubble cloud briefly in the air before dissipating. That is the issue.

i assume "werkin' girls" is another rap track that will place

chief keef is a good rapper

that thread was unbearable

yeah

i don't like "i don't like". repetitive like hell, much too long (every second above 3 minutes needs a good reason for it), and foremost - you knew it would be coming - no tune. the rhythm isn't subtle neither. not a lot to love there.

moving on

aw that wasn't as vitriolic as I was hoping for

I've got so much listening to do....

Save us, Jordan Sargent!

33. JEREMIH "773 Love" [299 points, 9 votes, 1 first place vote]

Spotify / Youtube

wau @ jeremih holding down a first place vote

good choon though

Ooh, voted for the mixtape instead but love this.

pretty decent given 2012 was the year that ilx apparently fell out of love with jeremih

just can't hear what anyone finds notable/special about this jeremih song. that goes for the whole mixtape but surely the standout track is "fuck u all the time"

mih mans

def the highlight from the mixtape

xp aero's comment >>>>> Chief Keef's song

Gack. I'd rather listen to Keef again.

i heard and dug it on the Mike Will mixtape first so it was hard for me to not hear it as a highlight after that

wtf

agree that 'fuck u all the time' is the standout. there are some other jams on the mixtape tho & i think ppl majorly projected their own issues with the 'state of r&b' onto that mixtape xp

This Jeremih song is kind of a mess and really unpleasantly trebly in the chorus.

yeah, it stunned me on the mike will tape and i've loved it ever since. beat is a masterpiece and surprisingly good party song too.

'ahh shit' is also a really good, dark & slinky

Wish I'd paid attention to it before voting, because I may have been able to up it a few places. I really like this.

i still don't understand who all these people are that ignored Jeremih's first 2 albums and all their singles and then flipped for the mixtape though
