"undeniable" has been deployed as a descriptor far more sparingly than last year's thread but imo this is the track for it

This only just missed my ballot, woulda definitely made it into a 30. Awesomeness.

there were a gazillion remixes of it but the reggae remix with jah x, junior reid, mavado and popcaan felt like a very fitting companion

dog latin 'pooley' is transparently priapic lascivious woman-objectification* but this is ilm so it's ok

*correct me if i'm wrong, like, but

I googled this and found a dubiously sourced article saying that it's Guru's made-up word for "prostitute" but it's not meant to be disparaging: “It is no fault of some of the girls to be commercial sex workers but they find themselves on the street. I coined the name Pooley to give prostitutes some respect”

actively showing sex workers respect still feels like a very rare progressive thing to do, sadly, so kudos to guru if the article's correct

lex pretend, Thursday, 22 January 2015 13:37 (eleven years ago)

yeah it really gets in makes its point and gets out

a pleasant little psychedelic detour in the elevator (Amory Blaine), Thursday, 22 January 2015 13:45 (eleven years ago)

More favourably disposed towards this since discovering it's from an EP entitled 'Shmurda She Wrote'.

amazing song and in my top 10, despite featuring the worst lyrics of the year from jme:

20 pounds of diesel mate, if i fill up my tank it'll make me late

German Whip is amazing and i'd have voted for it had i not been as strict about 2013 releases.

Wristy Hurlington (ShariVari), Thursday, 22 January 2015 13:57 (eleven years ago)

YASSSSS german whip!!!! had been losing hope for it this high

very fitting that it came b2b after bobby shmurda

I DON'T KICK BALL DO I LOOK LIKE A BALLER

lex pretend, Thursday, 22 January 2015 13:57 (eleven years ago)

i p much ignore grime (grime, right? UK rap?) so i never heard this till it came up on shuffle during the nominations a few times and i was mostly indifferent, but it's definitely grown on me over the last week, thanks ILM

Didn't expect this to place at all, still don't like it that much.

Pouring one out for the vastly superior 'That's Not Me' at this stage.

Matt DC, Thursday, 22 January 2015 13:59 (eleven years ago)

good grief
