i enjoy flopsons positivity but i want him to know hes not getting that $5 until no flex zone actually places

This Vic Mensa tune is a blast. Well done, folks.

german whip, lmao

My Brit rap top 5 would include She Rockers, Blade, Hijack & Caveman bcs I am old and fell out of big love with hip-hop around the time the Wu Tang broke lol.

I was honestly expecting Down on my Luck on the top 3. Glad it's up here.

say shmurda place & was like, ehh, too high, then saw german whip place above it & thought, lol wait no

*saw

rev & i have diverged more than usual this year

hey LJ you might enjoy some of the stuff on the post-fahey folk thread(s) if you like richard dawson, whom i wouldn't have known about if you hadn't been a relentless cheerleader. i didn't vote for it but i like it.

i hate it when mom and dad fight

So much rap this year!

And I do like "Tchelete" fwiw! Just more for its hooks than its beat.

Yay!

more surprises!

I have never heard of this artist or song.

Likewise.

There was a week last month in which "Vermillion" was constantly in my head.

Singles Jukebox's top-rated song of 2014, iirc

only heard bc of the singles jukebox

not really a fan

great tune

Never heard of this either.

This is basically the tasteful version of "Habits"?

This is ok

ty gear, will check out that thread more from now on :)

like "slow dancing" imo it's texture and mood in search of a hook

I've never diverged so strongly from my Singles Jukebox colleagues.

2015 payphone is a cinematic symbol for desperation

this song is really great

i mean "solo dancing" lol

Fantastic song. For some reason I missed it on the nominations thread otherwise it would have been in my top 10.

oh i knew this was the singles jukebox's top 2014 track but i didn't really get why and most of the rest of its internet presence seems to be a remix

seems like a wispier and less resonant "solo dancing"

I have never heard of this artist or song.

Welcome to my entire thread experience. Well, about 70% of it.

This track is great, was waiting for it.

This sounds like a walking around an empty downtown on a Sunday night kind of song.

wtf all these comparisons are awful

i's all about that moment when the beat drops out and it's just her voice and the piano going "I love these streets, I love these streets, but they weren’t meant for me to walk…”. gorgeous song imo.

This sounds like an intro in search of a song. I kept waiting for the song to actually start.

Heh, they're side-by-side on my Best of 2014 mix, and I don't entirely disagree with that assessment, but texture and mood count for a lot in my book.

so my Panda Bear dreams are dead for the singles i guess

the build on this track is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "habits" or whatever

I hadn't heard anyone outside of TSJ mention this song. Are there a lot of writers from there on ilm?

I like alright it but it doesn't sound like top 10 material for me, let alone best track of the year. This sort of sound was everywhere in 2014 and I can easily think of 3 tracks I like much better than this one.

ooh that means one of the 9 remaining "dead certs" as outlined by matt dc has missed the 77, hope it's "seasons"!
